Bachmanngut

Another enjoyable stay at this Hotel. Rooms are clean, breakfast is great, spa facilities under-used (and therefore enjoyably peaceful) and the grounds beautifully kept. What sets the hotel apart from others for us, however, is the tennis. The hotel has three indoor plus three outdoor clay courts and daily coaching if you want it. We all enjoyed our lessons with Karl. Hopefully these will be available next year too as we're all keen to book! One small disappointment this year was the lack of evening restaurant. We were able to order Farmers Boards and ice-creams but last year the evening meals were just as good as breakfast and lunch. It was nice to get out and explore some of the restaurants in the town but hopefully they will be able to offer evening meals in the future again - even if only for a few evenings / something more informal like a BBQ. It's shame to waste the opportunity to sit on the terrace. Tips - you could possibly get away without a car staying here. The hotel is approx 10-15 minute walk down a hill into town. Transfer is under an hour from Salzburg airport. There are no laundry facilities for guests at the hotel but there is a Wascherei in Bad Ischl 9km drive away. Rooms are non-smoking inside but guests do smoke out on the balcony and outside the bar - if you are sensitive to this it would be worth requesting a room that is not directly above the bar terrace. The hotel has installed a lift in the last year so no need to lug luggage up and down the stairs. All in all a lovely hotel with great food and facilities in a fantastically scenic location. A mention also to the lovely bar staff especially Clemence who ensured we had everything we needed.

A repeat visit - this time with the family. Nothing disappoints in this beautiful place. Great views, wonderful room and we are in the restaurant which was as good as anything we’ve had before. The children loved the ponies.
