This was our top find in terms of B&B accommodation during our month-long tour of western Austria. I wish we could have taken the rooms & host with us for the whole trip.

It's very rare that I give 5* ratings - I have high expectations - but I needn't have worried here. This wonderful house is situated perfectly in the middle of the Lechtal - ideal for exploring this beautiful part of Austria. This area is still just a little off the beaten track for the mega tours, and so is uncrowded most of the time. If you love exploring the mountains and valleys and being close to nature you will love it here. I am told that the winter brings a wealth of cross-country skiing opportunities in particular.

The people are extremely friendly around here, and they seem to appreciate that you have ventured off the tourist highway and taken the time to investigate their world. For example, we had a wonderful evening in a little village called Elmen, just a little further east along the valley, being welcomed into the local restaurant as if we were special guests.

Back to Pension Sennhof, we could not have wished for a more inviting host. As soon as we arrived in the evening, she asked us what we would most like for breakfast (from a vast array of possibilities), and sure enough, the next morning we were presented with all our wishes. This was just typical of the level of service we received. Any information we wanted to know about the area was readily forthcoming, so that we could make the most of our stay.

We booked a room for 2 adults and 1 teenage child (for 71 Euros per night). Our suite included two double bedrooms, kitchen, lounge, bathroom & balcony. It was very spacious, well equipped and very very comfortable. Everything was spotlessly clean. You could just hear the sound of the cascading river in the background and our view from the balcony up the valley was simply beautiful. All this for such a bargain price!

If you feel like you are in need of completely winding down from a stressful life - come and stay here.
