About Karen & Ken Faulkner

Hello! We are Karen & Ken Faulkner and we live here at Alpine Meadows with our son Gareth and our elderly pet beagle Roly. We originate from Leicestershire in England but spent many years in Northampton where Ken worked in banking and financial services and Karen taught science at a local secondary school. We love our new life in this beautiful place and getting to know the many lovely people who choose to come and stay with us.

Karen & Ken Faulkner purchased this apartment in 2007
Why Karen & Ken Faulkner chose Bad Ischl

We visited Austria for the first time for our silver wedding anniversary and were just spellbound by its beauty. We returned several times every year after that until we finally found and instantly fell in love with this quaint house and its amazing views.We feel very lucky to be able to live in such a beautiful place and we love being able to share our home with visitors.

What makes this apartment unique

The first thing that struck us when we first saw Alpine Meadows was the meadow. It rolls up from the back of our house, green and yellow and purple with flowers in spring. Beyond that is the forest which is lush and green in summer and amazing hues of brown ad orange in Autumn. Then there are the mountains,green in summer, snow-capped in winter and always beautiful. Add to that the animals that inhabit the forest and meadow and the birds that soar overhead and this special place just had to be ours...even before we walked through the house door.

The house itself is quaint. It is about 100 years old in parts and has been added to and modernised over the years as the original owner's family grew and was at some point divided to create 2 apartments This makes the house perfect for us to invite guests to come and stay in complete privacy but for us to be on-hand if they want to ask advice about places to visit and for us to help make the holiday that bit more relaxing by offering a daily maid service.
