Thanks for the outstanding hospitality and good friendship we enjoyed at your house. Our impression was to come as foreigners and leave as friends. Thanks once more for the good conversation, excellent meals and drinks. We are looking forward to see you again during next year.

We have on 29 August 2011 stayed on your beautiful alpine farmhouse. In retrospect, it was the nicest accommodation on our two-week tour through Switzerland. Very warm and friendly!

We absolutely loved staying at your bed and breakfast. We will recommend it whenever we hear of someone travelling to your part of Switzerland. As I told you when we were leaving, we've stayed at many bed and breakfast's in many different places and you are the best innkeepers we've met.

I just had to write to say thank you so much for looking after us so well last week. We had a brilliant time staying with you and really missed our tea once we moved on...........Anyway, we cannot thank you enough for your hospitality. Everything was perfect.

We spend a very beautiful holiday in Switzerland,Germany and Austria and all our accommodation are beautiful but yours was special, not only because of the chalet, which is a mix of rustic and simple elegance in the same time. The charm of your home it come from how you preserve and decorate the whole house, but your success come from your way of life, all of you are very friendly and even if I know about this kind of socialization with breakfast in common it is for the first time when I have experiment it real. It is gorgeous to meet people from all the world. It was a real pleasure to talk about many things, to joke, like a family................ .. you,James and Peter are such a pleasant company and we are not be bored never listening to you. For us was very helpful because after we spend most part of our youth in isolation this opening is very good when it comes with human feelings not only like a polite and distant accommodation.

I just wanted to thank you again your hospitality, company and help. Your B&B is really great!

We were sad to leave. No 5-star hotel can match the level of attention and care they gave us during our stay. I've traveled all over Europe, but this place really stuck out. Book soon, I think word of this place is quickly getting out.

We had a wonderfull time at the Hayloft and are already discussing when we're coming back. We sure like to! It's amazing to experience that people are still able to make you feel welcome and at home within a matter of hours. Even though we stayed for only three days we can honoustly say we will remember the Hayloft and first and foremost your hospitality for the rest of our gifted lives.

Thank you for the wonderful time we spent with you at the Hayloft. Your openness, humour, generosity and warmth are our lasting memories of our holiday. Kandersteg is no longer just one of Switzerland’s most beautiful alpine villages – it is where Kerry, Peter, James, Anchor and Snorkel live. Sitting around your table, listening to your stories, we learned more about Switzerland in 5 days than in 7 years living in an expatriate bubble near Geneva. Staying at the Hayloft, we quickly lost track of the hours and then the days. It is very easy to understand how one of your guests stayed several months.

Within hours of arriving it was like gaining new family, Kerry and Peter welcome you to their home with open arms. The girls were made to feel so at home with their loft bedroom, friendly pets and a "new brother" - James. Each dinner we ate as one big family - with other guests soon becoming friends too. The food was always plentiful, delicious and lovely. The house is a superbly restored Swiss cottage, warm and very comfortable.

Wenn Sie den Hotelbetrieb leid sein sollten und das Ursprüngliche lieben,dann sind sie hier in dem uralten "Kanderstegener Haus" bestens aufgehoben. Kerry u. Peter haben dieses alte Haus mit viel Liebe zum Detail wieder hergerichtet.Gäste werden von den Beiden liebevoll aufgenommen und umsorgt. Unvergesslich sind die Abende am langen Esstisch,an dem meist nochmal alle Gäste platznehmen um den Tag ausklingen zu lassen.

Still miss you ... that means we might come back one day! That was a great stay at your place with great company. Thanks a lot for a great time.

Often you hear stressed out people say: "Oooohh, I do so wish I had a small BB, what a haven it would be, each guest would feel so special, pampered and welcome", and you smile and think to yourself: Right, a dream never to come true.......................... and The Hayloft is the place they dream of

If you are looking for an authentic Swiss experience in a quiet, spectacular valley, this is the place. We hope to return soon and stay longer.

By the way, just a reminder to yall, you guys are awesome. We're almost done with our trip and I still think our stay with you guys was the best place we've been. Just letting you know ;)

We`re are really looking forward staying in your wonderful house again, yes, and the next time we will stay a week, and we will bring good weather again.

What a wonderful little holiday that was! It feels like I've been away for ages, which is surely a good sign. Thank you so much for a truly wonderful time. I was simply looking for a bed, some breakfast, and a few Swiss mountains. I got all that, but much more importantly, I found the best companions for miles around. So unexpected, and a lovely surprise. I'm already looking forward to my next stay at the Hayloft!

We have been reading your latest guest comments on your website, and would love to leave a message for you.... However "We have decided not to, as we don't want to encourage other folk to come to our new secret hidaway/winter paradise....it just wouldn't be fair"

Thank you very much for a wonderful time we've spent with you. We got much more than just a bed and a nice meal, we have gained something, what you can not buy with money. We met a nice and interesting family. Certainly we come back to you again. Are you missing us.

We were both most happy to stay with you and thank you for your
profound hospitality! It's a pity we had to leave, but we are sure that
we would love to come again soon.

Thank you so much for sharing your home with us. We are all very grateful for staying with you, you have been so very kind to us. We will all miss you very, very much.

We thoroughly enjoyed the holiday and are planning to visit again to do some more of the walks (if you'll have us!) And we all send a big thank you for your kindness and hospitality. We would recommend the Hayloft to anybody.

"Thanks you for a wonderful visit in your part of the world. We truly appreciated all the hospitality given to us and enjoyed staying in your wonderful Hayloft. Thanks so much Peter for the expert walking & trail advice and Kerry, for the great "tea", You will see us again!"

"We're still on a high from our few days with you, we really enjoyed our trip........... Kids have seen the pictures and would love to come across too so how is August looking next year?"

"It was great meeting you guys. You are both so lovely. Making the holiday even more delightful. Thank you."

"Thank you for your hospitality and you good company whilst we were staying with you, it was much appreciated and helped to make a very enjoyable holiday. Kandersteg and its surroundings are delightful and offer so much opportunity for exploring. The spring flowers and meadows were beautiful and the beginning of June seems to be a good time to visit. The Hayloft is also a lovely place to stay with its attractive surroundings and closeness to the village."

"I think we had the best time at your place and I don't mean to make you feel better, it's just the truth...
so you bet on us coming again!!!!"

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with you and just wished it could have been longer. It was certainly the highlight of our few days away and the trip up to the mountains on your private road brought back many happy memories of the mountains in NZ when I was a youngster."

"Thank you once again for all your kindnesses to us during our stay. I feel as if 10 years have dropped away since I left home."

"You might not be able to guarantee the weather, but you can guarantee good food!"

"We would like to thank you again a lot for everything, it was really nice to meet you and to be able to stay at your place."

"We had a fabulous time with you all, you made our holiday very special,& I am sure anyone who stays with you will leave with a sad heart, longing for a time when they can return, you are three very special people."

"We would like to thank you again for the pleasant stay we had with you, for the wonderful breakfast and dinner we had with you, for the butterflies, the strawberry fields, the flap jacks (even on our journey to Hamburg - thank you Kerry )........ We will miss you!"

"I cannot thank you enough for having us to stay........we absolutely loved it......and thought you were such a lovely family. You, and Kandersteg, made such an impression that we really hope we'll be able to come back in the not too distant future....."

"Thanks for the friendly accommodation and the 'yummy' breakfast we enjoyed. We had a great time in Kandersteg. Hope we'll meet us again some day."

"We'd love to come see you all again. It was the perfect ski vacation and we had the best time."

I can’t stop telling my family about the beautiful mountains and the snow.

I had a really nice time! Thank you for your “personal attention” I think we are going to visit you in the future!"
