Feedback and reviews from past guests at the Holiday House in Poland
New section started March 2008
The Korol Family - 3 generations went end July/August 2008 for 10 days and wrote:
Weather was absolutely brill, we loved the accomodation and took advantage of Rabka for the children (close resteraunt on the corner near park, play park, go karts etc. The market was fun to. We did spend the majority of time away though, in Zakopane for a few days, Krakow, Staniatki, Aushwitz, Calvary church, the list goes on.
The kids toys were a great asset to the house, as were the dvd's and mountain bike for me !
I did a few journeys up the hill and over the top.
The Askews stayed 3rd week of July 2008 for 7 days. Some of their feedback:
What a gorgeous area you have chosen. We love walking and visited the "Potato Pancake " place up the hill on a couple of occasions. We walked right up to the National Park and round various routes in the woods/ hills. It was so nice to be somewhere where English was not spoken as we now feel we can communicate the basics (very basic) in Polish. People still seem a little suspicious of foreigners I think. We had a wonderful walk (and superb typically Polish meal) in Sromowce-Nizne and climbed the Trzy Korony. Spectacular views across to Slovakia. Our day in Zakopane was unfortunately a washout due to torrential rain and a low lying mist - another time. They have certainly had an enormous amount of rain so the water supply should be safe. Our days were mixed, but fortunately we were usually able to have a sun-downer on the balcony!
Our comments: we provide 2 umbrellas in the house in case of rain. There are still plenty of indoor things to do like visit the salt mines, aquapark, Auschwitz. Everyone enjoys watching the sunsets from the balcony - preferably with a drink in hand.
Mr and Mrs Manning stayed with their friends and children; two 2 year olds and a four year old in late February 2008:
Just come back after having a great holiday, unfortunately there wasn't any snow in Rabka but we still had a great time and the house is beautiful, really homely. Thanks the Mannings
Our comments: 2008 was a dismal year for snow generally in Europe. If the temperatures are below 2 degrees, they use snow machines on the slopes to produce snow so that you can generally ski. The snow lasts lomger in Zakopane than elsewhere. Some years they're snowed in. Need that crystal ball or try looking up historical weather records for Zakopane.
Thinking about self-catering in Poland in the autumn .....
