Below a selection of holiday reviews from our recent single parent ski holidays in Kitzbühel, Austria:
"I travelled to Kitzbuhel/Reith with my two daughters, Meadhbh (8) and Sadhbh (12). On arrival at the Hotel Lisi, we were warmly welcomed by two of our lovely hosts, Sandra & Will, who took our bags and organised a very stress free check in. The hotel was of a very high standard, very comfortable, extremely clean and had lovely spacious rooms.
Everything throughout the week was so well organised. On the day of arrival we were given our pre ordered ski passes and took a private shuttle to collect our ski equipment. Seeing as the hotel was a 5 minute drive from the cable car, a private shuttle transported us daily to and from the slopes. I have to compliment the exceptional instructors at the 'Snowsport Kirchberg' ski school who made our week of skiing such a rewarding and enoyable experience. The children were taken to lunch with their own instructors during their ski lessons which was great and as I was able to relax and enjoy the company of my own ski group during our break. The resort has a lovely mix of runs to accommodate skiing of all levels.
I wasn't sure what to expect when I signed up to this group holiday as it was a first for me. It can be a daunting experience as a single parent taking your kids on holiday but it was an absolute pleasure to be in the company and have the support of such a wonderful group of like minded single parents. The children thoroughly enjoyed making friends and spending time with the other children. A huge emphasis is placed on entertaining children at this hotel. They had freedom and independence to explore all the facilities and play in a very safe environment under the watchful eye of the amazing hotel staff.
I would highly recommend this ski trip and SPOH. A huge thank you to Sandra, Will & Ian for your wonderful organisation, support and company during our trip. You went above and beyond in making sure we all had a wonderful time. We have come away with wonderful memories and we definitely hope to join you all on another trip in the future. "

"My daughter 15, son 13 and myself had a fab time with SPOH. The trip was incredibly well organised and the team went over and above to make sure everyone had a great time. The skiing at the resort was excellent - it provided the perfect mix of options for both beginners and advanced skiers. Most of all however was the fantastic people we meet, there is no doubt we have all made some lasting friendships. "

"We had a wonderful ski holiday with SPOH. My 8 year old son enjoyed himself so much that he didn't want to leave at the end of it. Well organised and a great bunch of people to hang out with. "

"SPOH takes the worry out of venturing abroad on your own with kids allowing you to relax and enjoy your holiday."

"This was a really great holiday for single parents. There were a few things where 'room for improvement' but overall, I had an amazing time with my 2 boys and met some great people who I am still in contact with."
- Julie, Edward (15) & William (12) - single parent ski holiday in Reith/Kitzbühel, February 2023
"My children (10 and 9 yrs old) and I had so much fun, Sandra hosted and made us feel very welcome and comfortable immediately, and organised everything perfectly. Sandra was very empathetic on the first ski day when it was difficult to settle them at Ski School. The hotel staff were so friendly and helpful which was a bonus. We loved the hotel, the children were able to explore the massive play barn and pool, they loved their Independence, and I loved the sauna!
Sandra helped us organize all the necessary COVID testing and took away the stress from the situation.
Would highly recommend this holiday, the skiing was fabulous and the children will always have amazing memories of this particular break!"

"Everything about the holiday went beyond my expectations. The hotel was exceptional in catering for children, from the little extras in the hotel room (bed guards, steps, children's toiletries, children's robes), the games and ice cream machine in reception, to the simply amazing soft play/trampoline/activity centre, complete with childminders. The organisation was great and nothing was to much trouble for Sandra. I was nervous about taking a small child on holiday on my own, but was so glad I did. My son enjoyed himself thoroughly, both skiing and in the hotel facilities, and I got to relax a bit. Above all, it was great sharing the experience with other like minded single parents. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the trip."

"This was my first experience of a single parent holiday. It went above and beyond any expectation. Our group was lovely, we all clicked really well and the children connected also.
Sandra is amazing, so warm, friend and a consummate professional, taking care of all the details needed to make it a smooth enjoyable ski trip. It was a sheer luxury not to have to worry about anything the entire stay, it was the first time in so many years that I could let go and relax as all was perfectly taken care of.
Can't thank you enough, it was a wonderful holiday and we look forward to holiday with you again soon..."
- Siobhan & Arun (9) - single parent ski holiday in Reith/Kitzbühel, New Year 2021/2022
"Thank you Sandra and Ian for a really fabulous holiday. It was lovely to be so well looked after for our week and to have someone to guide us all over the ski area. You made sure everyone could ski with others of similar ability/ages of children and there were plenty of activities for anyone with enough energy left at the end of the day!"
- Lynn & Joshua (13) - single parent ski holiday in Reith/Kitzbühel, February 2020
"Great to meet likeminded parents and children in a fun, action-packed holiday. Made a few good friends on another good holiday with SPOH, thank you Sandra."
- Gemma & Theo (9) - single parent ski holiday in Reith/Kitzbühel, February 2020
"I have been on 3 holidays with SPOH. I am a mother of a child with complex special needs and very specific dietary requirements. I look forward to going on trips with the company as nothing is too much trouble and they go over and above what you would expect whatever you need and this means that as a parent I can feel relaxed and comfortable that I will always have a great trip with my son. I can't imagine booking my ski trips with anyone else."
- Claudette & Isaac (13) - single parent ski holiday in Reith/Kitzbühel, February 2019
"Yet another great holiday, fantastically well organised by Sandra - once more we had a fabulous time. "
- Richard & Henry (15) - single parent ski holiday in Reith/Kitzbühel, February 2019
"I have booked the skiing holiday to Reith for my daughter and I. The main reason was to ensure other kids will be around for my daughter to play with after skiing and other adults to discuss with for my sanity. We had a fantastic time both on the slopes and in the evening. It was great for my daughter and I to go skiing with other parents & kids of the same level and to be able to retreat to the bar in the evening knowing my daughter was laughing with the other kids. Sandra's organisation was faultless and effortless for us to follow (I am sure it wasn't effortless for her). We enjoyed it so much that we are going to the next trip at Easter."

"Another brilliant holiday with SPOH. Every year my daughter grows to love these holidays more, and in turn I get a well needed break. The children were all brilliant with each other, especially the older ones being inclusive towards to younger ones; there was a wonderful feeling of 'team' amongst the adults. A skiing holiday isn't always the most relaxing of breaks, especially as a solo parent, but I can-not think of a better way to ski with my daughter. We will be back for another adventure soon. "
