Review Submitted: January 24, 2008, Date of stay: January, 2008

We have had three fantastic weeks here, still here at the moment. The chalet is perfect and has everything you could possibly want. Owners are on the other end of phone or email and respond quickly to any problem.
We are coming back in March and can't wait. Would recommend this chalet to anyone. The beds are so comfortable!
Its great to have internet and English sky to keep up with the soaps!

Owner's response:

Thank you Barry and Mary. We look forward to you staying at our chalet again.
