Short Breaks and "Tailor Made" Holidays

Want someone to organise it all for you, but don't want to go on a normal "package holiday", then our  short breaks are for you.

 We have a range of short breaks and tailor made holidays on offer which are designed to let you get the most out of your time on holiday - even if you can only be away for a few days.

 To make life even easier you can add private airport transfers and continental breakfast room service to any break. 

"Can I just?"....

What if I want to change a break? 

"Can I just  have golf for 3 people, not 4? One of our friends wants to come with us but does not play golf"
"Can I just come for 4 nights not 5 -I haven't got that much holiday left"

If you want to include more activity  or exclude parts of a break, let us know and we can quote you a price for the revised break.

Guest Comments

Dear Linda and Trevor, 

Many Thanks for the fantastic arrangements for a lovely skiing holiday in Bad Ischl/ Postalm and we all had a wonderful time!
Being  first- timers, without your advice and guidance right from the start, we would have been totally lost and never ventured to ski!
You made it happen- we can't wait for our next break to Bad Ischl!
The accommodation was super and it was like 'home from home' for our kids and they had a magical Christmas. 
.
Best Wishes,
Jay & Mahesh

Fabulous time. Had a short 4 day holiday (Thurs - Mon) with the aim of getting in some skiing. Trevor met us at the airport on the Thursday evening and we were on the slopes for our first lesson by 10 am the next morning (after being kitted out with ski's boots and ski passes!) Trevor and Linda were like our own personal ski guides - taking us to the best slopes to suit our skiing ability which meant we had 4 full days skiing before flying home Monday evening. Accommodation was very comfortable, big breakfast and lovely gluwine and cakes after a hard days skiing........ Have booked to return next Jan
