    THis might not "float your boat", as you don't say how old daughter is, but we went here last year and it was absolutely wonderful!

    http://www.austrianfamilyholidays.co.uk

    You could have the smaller appartment. Fly to salzburg and then either have a transfer from Nigel+ Debbie in their minibus, or go by train.

    We are 2 adults and 3 kids (then 13/11/8) . We did alsorts- walking, sightseeing, austrian cake eating:o swimming (spa baths are absolutely lovely there- think of a quiet version of centreparks- not the fancy shutes and stuff, but lots of different pools and even outside/inside ones). Beach is the lake at Zell- lovely.

    We did it all by public transport which was easy too.

    Debbie and Nigel have two delightful small boys who are happy to play for hours too-got to be good if you are travelling alone with daughter! Child friendly garden etc of course too.Just nice to sit in the sunshine looking at the mountains with a drink whilst your daughter plays happily...

    We flew ryanair which was fine (for a cattle market flight but that was what we expected) and flights were about £1000 for 5 of us.

    Gosh, small world! We were there last summer too - great place!

    Sorry for butting in OP. I'm watching this thread with interest as I'm trying to work out where to go this summer too and I agree it is a dilemma and a half! :D

    Can I come with you when you choose please ? :D

    I'm right hacked off with this ! Just seem to be spending all of my week off work trying to sort this :(

    If I'm honest, I've been spoilt in the past by some great holidays, the best ones with other families. We've had such a laugh ! Now, as much as I love being with my kids, I'm just not looking forward to a trip on my own :(

    You know, I might just book the Devon cottage*, book surfing lessons and be done with it !! :)

    *Bet that's fully booked up now...... ( goes to check ;) )
