I really enjoyed my stay.The Chalet was cosy,comfortable and spotlessly clean.The decor was smart and the kitchen facilities were excellent - they had everything you could want. Also, very important for me, was that it was extremely quiet and very good for getting a good nights sleep. Car parking was in a private drivewayin front of the property. The nice touch of arriving to find milk, bread, butter, jams and eggs was very much appreciated
