Place was nice and tidy and clean. Smaller than what was depicted in the photos. What was a let down was we had to make our own beds, sheets and pillow cases were in a drawer we had to go looking through. Also, there was no oil or baking paper. Overall it was a nice place to stay

Family weekend away
Lovely compact tidy bach. Well equipped. Close to town. Parking - only just enough for 2 cars. Liked the modern decor. There are 10 units in complex, it was hard to spot in the dark. The shower over bath screen was tiny making it difficult for taller people to shower without getting water everywhere. Also made cleaning difficult. Otherwise a lovely stay

I thought the property was very reasonable. It was clean, comfortable, and warm. There was a washing machine and dryer, clean towels and linen available. I liked that there was also a selection of books to choose from as there was no internet at the house. There were also some DVD's, my teenagers couldn't find any that would actually play due to being scratched - it turned out alright - they were able to spend more time interacting, laughing and singing instead! There are also some books and puzzles available. We had a great time!

Needs cleaning
The house is very dusty. The first night the kids scratched and coughed from the dust all night. So second day i ended up having to dust and vacuum the house thoroughly, including top of heat pump that was very dusty therefore blew dust everywhere when operating. Otherwise cute little house with everything you neec for a ski trip.
