Confirmed Guest
Lovely locations , quiet and nice views, nicely decoratedKitchen and TV devices were great, the beds very comfortable, however we felt the chalet is in need of a major upgrade.We noted the the floors were uneven, we did wonder about the safety of the unit regards under floor foundations. Also we found the carpets in the living area very dirty and the bathroom ( toilet) smelt even when we used disinfectant to freshened it up.Generally the cleaning was not great. I believe it was not value for money. Its a shame as it could be so much more given its location.
