Loved the peace and quiet of being in separate chalets rather than having neighbours right next door.

Our 2 bedroom chalet was perfect for our family of five. Kids all in own bedroom with 3 x single beds, all with reading lights over the beds. Our room had double bed plus space in wardrobe to store suitcases. Full kitchen with fridge, oven and microwave that we used each day, and very helpful hosts with information and chalet supplies. Newspaper on our doorstep each morning. Highly recommended.

Very pleasant all around.
The four star rating is due to the uncomfortable bed which was a little rocky. The mattress was hard. The sheets were a little rough.

Lovely quiet site. View was amazing. Great service. The only down side was the water pressure in the shower was very low.

I loved that you where left to enjoy your holiday but if anything you need then you just had to ask. You got privacy when needed. Only thing I could fault with the room was the queen bed. Felt more like a double and abit hard. Maybe king beds or a topper added for more comfortable sleep.
