Brilliant, was lovely and clean and spacious and just a walk away to the town. Would highly recommend, also lovely enclosed field just short distance for taking the dog to let of steam. Really good value. Lovely views and quiet.

Lovely chalet with fine views of the mountains and local woods. Great walking for dogs near to chalet and within a short distance of shops and facilities - too far for me to walk, but a very quick drive. Would easily suit a family of 6. Lovely week where everything we needed was provided. We'll be back if we can arrange it. Thank you for a very relaxing and thoroughly enjoyable week.
