We arrived on May26th and stayed through the 28th. After spending two weeks in Europe - Zermatt, Cinque Terre, Venice, Salzburg, and Munich - this was our favorite. The B&B is a 500 year old refurbished farmhouse. The room we stayed in - The hayloft - was spectacular and was the orginal hayloft in the farmhouse. It was a family... More

This is a long overdue review... I've stayed at the hayloft in late August 2012, and returned again in April 2013, and both times, it was just fantastic. Kandersteg has become my favourite place in switzerland, mostly thanks to Peter and Kerry! Peter always has the best tips on where to go in kandersteg, and Kerry really makes us feel... More

We knew Kandersteg from the trainstation to Goppenstein, on the way to our yearly winter-ski-holidays. So what does Kandersteg has more to give than just a trainstation... We spent the very last weekend of April 2013 in "The Hayloft", recommended by friends of us, expads from Holland, living in Baselbiet. The wheather "could be better"... BUT, the extraordinary, very nice... More

We really enjoyed sitting with them, and there young son, and chatting over breakfast. Peter was also very helpful giving us a lift both to and from the railway station, which we really appreciated. The location is stunning, with rolling green... More

We very much enjoyed our stay in the Hayloft family room! It is a beautiful house, but also very comfortable and convenient. We have 2 children (4 and 6 years old) and we all had a great time. Our children really enjoyed the garden (especially playing with dog Anchor). The kids have their own section of the room, upstairs. Very... More

If you are interested in a characteristic Swiss superb hiking trip, then you have to choice the cosy Hayloft accommodation in the middle of green untouched fields. From the Loft you can directly go straight forward to the top of the amazing mountains outskirt. Thx Kerry, Peter, James + Snorkel and Anchor (four legged friends)

If you are looking for a homely feeling away from home, then look no further! Wonderful and very welcoming family, beautiful eco-friendly accommodation, picturesque surrounding, diverse breakfast. I travelled alone but I didn't feel alone while staying at the Hayloft.

We live in Switzerland and have experience of various types of accommodation. Without the help of an Alastair Sawday guide, it is not always easy to find THE right b&b that ticks all the boxes...The Hayloft does! It is a picture postcard chalet, truly cosy, very comfortable (you'll never feel cold or damp in the winter...even though we went at... More

The Hayloft is 1200m above sea level, south-facing and stands in about two acres of its own meadowland. The property is bordered by a trout stream and is very quiet; it has its own private access track and there is NO passing traffic. The house boasts stunning mountain views (over 3,600m) in every direction, clear views of glaciers and a magnificent waterfall. The Hayloft is about 1 mile from the centre of the village of Kandersteg in the Bernese Oberland. Kandersteg is a rural working village but has a parallel tourist-based economy. The village has all the expected range of facilities without losing its unique Swiss atmosphere. ... more   less
