Tourist farm Dolinar Krainer — Hotel in Bled

This accommodation is perfect in so many ways but the star attraction is definitely the owners. Lojze and Iza must be the best hosts we have ever had, we cannot praise them enough, they were so friendly and helpful it felt like we had known them forever. We had booked a double room for two nights but they gave us a free upgrade to an apartment which was such a lovely surprise! It was very spacious with separate bedroom, bathroom and combined kitchen/dining room/living room with a balcony and the whole apartment was spotlessly clean. The double bed was very comfortable and there was plenty of storage space, sockets and good wifi. The bathroom was clean and there was plenty of hot water in the shower. The kitchen area was small but well equipped and perfectly adequate, it included a fridge, kettle, coffee machine, microwave and plenty of utensils. We had their breakfast one morning, it was delicious with plenty of home made food and fresh cooked eggs. I highly recommend the home made goats cheese! Iza showed us round the farm and we got to see the goats and the sheep and helped to feed the baby lamb. The farm is easy to find, it is just a few minutes drive up into the hills off the main road between Bled and Bohinj. It is a very peaceful and beautiful location and completely silent at night. It is close enough to Lake Bled and Lake Bohinj by car (you really need a car to stay here) but away from the crowded tourist areas. There is a lot of opportunity for hiking etc. We definitely want to return to this part of Slovenia and when we do we will here again for...

We stayed here in January 2017, and the place and the owners have never left my mind. We arrived late, in heavy snowy conditions, too icy for the airport taxi to make its way up the hill where this gorgeous lodge is based. The owner came down and picked us up, and made us some late night supper. We were the only guests for 2-3 nights, and as a young couple had come quite unprepared with no transport to get up and down to the lake. The owners were unbelievably generous and kind, they kindly gave us lifts to and from the town, always had a smile on their face, a warm morning welcome as the breakfast was always so yummy. It honestly felt like we were having a second Christmas; I will never forget opening the curtains on that first morning to see the snow amongst the trees and the Lake in the distance. It was magic in its purest form. Goats are my favourite animals, and these ones did not dissapoint, they were so friendly and sweet. On our last day, the owner gave us a CD of his band playing, and his son drove us to the airport who also happened to be a musician - we absolutely loved learning about the family and their music, and I still have their CD today and absolutely love listening to it in Winter, as the Slovenia folk style music is really heart warming and festive. Thank you for the most memorable holiday I've ever had and sorry it took us exactly 7 years to actually leave a review. Although I kept forgetting to review, I...

This was by far one of the most incredible stays we ever had. We picked this location as our homebase to explore Triglav and Bled, and it was perfect. Super quiet, so you slept super well, and animals everywhere. The goats on the farm are not fond of people, but very fun to look at and observe. Our hosts, Iza and her husband, are so kind and welcoming. We were treated like family. We paid for breakfast in the morning, which Iza prepared using foods from their farm, and it was so delicious every time. Iza was so attentive and entire time making sure everyone is comfortable and satisfied with their stay. We stayed in the "room with a balcony" and it was incredibly spacious and fitted with neat amenities; there was a tiny stove, a kitchen sink, a small fridge, kitchen sitting area for at least four, a couch, plenty of cooking tools, and TV. We were extremely sad to have to go, but look forward to...
