Great accommodation in a great position

CumbrianMan Wirral, UK
Review Submitted: September 15, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
Spent a week in Sue and Jamie's apartment (6th - 12th Sep 09), and what a fantastic apartment it is too.
The apartment was very clean, bright and modern, with all the mod cons. Super kitchen, comfy beds, 2 bathrooms and loos, excellent sized table for eating at, comfy sofa, and satellite TV (dvd player as well, so bring your dvd's to play). Spot on !
You can see that the property is well maintained throughout, by the cleanliness of the place.
There was a good sized garage, where we stored our bikes and bike bags, and also another separate storage area available if required.
The property was on the doorstep of the Alpe D'Huez climb and the main routes out of BDO, and so is absolutely brilliant for cyclists.
For skiers too, it is in a great position for ADH and also Les Deux Alpes and Auris.
The property also had it's own parking space out front.
It is only a short walk into BDO itself, where we found a few nice restaurants and bars.
One of our favourite aspects was the balcony. Perfect for sitting out in the warm evening air, and enjoying a nice cool beer or bottle of red. A few Sweet Chilli Doritos, and life was perfect !
Will most certainly look up this property if ever we cycle in the area again.
Thanks for a pleasurable stay Sue and Jamie.
Many thanks.

Summer Holiday in Bourg D'Oisan

Bolton Tri Manchester
Review Submitted: August 17, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
We stayed in this apartment for 2 weeks in July 2009. It is a very pretty,well equipped apartment in a great location. Lots of little extras provided-games, books, DVD player etc-not that we had much time to use them as there was so much to do in the area. Our main reason for visiting this location was that 3 of our party were taking part in the Alpe d'Huez Triathlon-which turned out to be a fantastic event -highly recommended if you are that way inclined!!
We also did white water rafting-exhilarating- and canoeing-more relaxing.
Eating and drinking out was great as we could easily walk into Bourg and not have to worry about the drive back.
All in all a fantastic apartment for a great holiday.

Family Skiing trip

Pantani Esher, Surrey, UK
Review Submitted: May 12, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
Fantastic apartment in a quiet residential area. We drove up the famous 21 hairpins to Alpe D'Huez everyday and really liked staying outside the ski resort.

Plenty of space for 4 and could easilt accomodate 6 or even 8 people if necessary.

The owners were very helpful and our deposit was swiftly returned.

Weekend ski break for the boys

Tottish Esher, Surrey, England.
Review Submitted: March 15, 2009 Date of Stay: March 2009
Phil & the boys spent an excellent weekend ski-ing from 5th to 8th March '09. The apartment was very comfortable and had everything we needed. Close to the 'Casino' supermarket & a short walk into the town of Bourg D'Oisans where we sampled a couple of the excellent restaurants & bars. We drove up the 'hairpins' to Alpe D'Huez each day for tremendous ski-ing conditions.....blue skies, sun & plenty of powder. Thoroughly recommended.

Large, spacious clean & quality apartment

DeborahA Birmingham
Review Submitted: January 27, 2009 Date of Stay: December 2008
Stayed here for the new year period into 2009. Absolutely lovely apartment just at the bottom of the drive up to alpe d'huez. You can get to Vaujanay (smaller old style alpine town which we adored) just as easily if you fancy a change and you have a car.. The apartment is not at all pokey, big bedrooms & bathrooms! it is exactly like the photos. very very pretty with everything you could possibly need. all the furnishings are top quality & the apartment feels safe & homely. The owners were really helpful beforehand with lots of tips & assistance, so much so we didn't need to contact them at all whilst there. we made full use of the cooking facilities & games provided. There is a massive supermarket really close by for supplies. Can't fault it at all. Thanks so much & we hope to see you again!

Perfect for skiers too

Review Submitted: January 6, 2009 Date of Stay: December 2008
Three of us spent Christmas week in this lovely apartment and our stay was wonderful. Ski resort apartments can be like rabbit hutches but this was a comfortable home from home (and being on the outskirts of a real small town rather than a resort suited us just fine). Although on a few of the days we were in low cloud, a 20 minute drive up the mountain to Alpe D'Huez brought us into a winter wonderland of dazzling sun and perfect pistes. For those who don't like steep hairpin bends the resort of Les Deux Alpes can easily be accessed 15 mins away via the gondola at Venosc with great skiing for all levels. This is clearly a great place for both winter and summer holidays and Sue and Jamie have created the perfect ambience (friendly French neighbours on the ground floor too).
Owner's Response: We are pleased you took the opportunity to ski both resorts Alpe D'Huez and Les Deux Alpes, the apartment is ideally situated for that. For those that don't like the 21 hairpin bend drive, an alternative is 20 min drive to free parking at Vaujany. Vaujany is a pretty tree-lined ski area and a large lift system takes you to Alpe d'Huez.

Fantastic apartment and location

MrsMJ Herts
Review Submitted: October 19, 2008 Date of Stay: September 2008
The location was perfect for a cycling holiday in the Alpes with all the cols you could want to conquer near by. The apartment was lovely exactly as described - a home from home (if you had just decorated it and bought stylish new furniture! :) ). We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

Great Cycling Location

Cauli Belfast
Review Submitted: June 26, 2008 Date of Stay: June 2008
We stayed at this property for a week in June 2008. The location for a cycling holiday could not be better. Plenty of bars/restaurants in the village and a good supermarket to stock up. The apartment was extremely comfortable and a special thanks to Sue/Jamie whose extra touches (we needed those beers!) made it even more so.

All in all, great location, great apartment - highly recommended.
