We stayed in one of Martin and Margarets lovely bavarain houses during August. The setting was glorious, the houses were fantastic and everything was thought of. Our 11 year old son loved it, the table tennis was great, and there were regualr trips to the dvd/book library and cake and schnapps bar!
Bavaria really is an undiscovered summer gem, the local area was beautiful and warm, the people very friendly and helpful even if english is not as well spoken as in other areas, it gave us a good chance to pcik up some german.
We can recommend Lam for swimming and sauna, Poschl stuben as a great place to eat, and the walk to the wood cutters cottage.
Bayerisch was a wonderful village, Konig Ludwig beer still live on in our memory fondly.
we hope to return soon!

Having stayed with Martin and Margaret over Christmas 2010 we returned in August 2011 to see the area without the snow! We weren't disappointed. We had a fantastic time. Great weather in beautiful surroundings. The apartment was everything you could wish. The attention to detail and hospitality shown by our hosts was second to none. We'll be back again I'm sure.

We had a great time staying at Haus-Sterr-Peter_Martin in late September 2010.

The apartments themselves were modern and spotlessly clean. The milk, butter, cereal, orange juice etc for the first days breakfast was a lovely touch - and we were even given two cartons of soya milk which we had requested. The shop in the main Haus was well stocked with lots of wines, beers, and food supplies including eggs, pasta, pasta sauces etc - certainly enough to keep you going if you don't fancy the walk into the centre of the village or a drive to a supermarket. There were also herbs and spices and more specialist kitchen and baking equiptment to use/borrow if you needed it.

There was lots of walking and cycling in the local area which is what we really love and the owners have prepared lots of sheets to advise of good routes in the area, which are in English and very helpful (although a little hard to follow sometimes - we got a bit lost once or twice when over the border where the signs become a bit more confusing - a local map is also recommended.

We used the sauna twice and really loved having it - especially since it poured down for almost the entirety of our holiday - it was as nice way to relax in the evening. we also borrowed mountain bikes which were fine for the local terrain.

Most of the people staying when we were there were older couples (we're early thirties) but this place would be perfect also for a family group with children. there were lots of play equipment and there was a games room in our building with table football and table tennis. also tennis racquet etc to borrow.

Oh, and Margaret was an invaluable help in making travel arrangements and the pick up from the train station was super!

Would definitely recommend this place.

This was our second visit with Margaret and Martin in Bayerisch Eisenstein, and once again it was great. The facilities keep on improving, and level of service and information provided to guests is brilliant. We just wanted a relaxing stay prior to the Oktoberfest and that was exactly what we got. We made use of their on site shop for local food, DVD library and copious amounts of reading material about the local area when we stayed in of a night; and ate at the Poeschl-Stuben when we went out, great food. We liked how they are very keen to provide all organic supplies and are heavily into recycling, nice to see.

We spent 3 days walking, all walks taken from the information pack, as per maps and made use of our Bayern card for free local transport.

The accommodation was top notch, very clean, extremely comfortable and all items catered for, the bathroom was spotless, great shower and everything was there to make it a pleasant stay. Being able to have cold beers from Martins shop recommendations on the balcony whilst overlooking the forest was superb.

The only negative comment we have is our apartment backed onto the railway line, however the trains although frequent, we only 2 or 3 carriages long, so not noisy enough to be of concern or keep you awake, so not a major issue.

We'll certainly be going back, maybe next time in the winter.
