Looking for a cabin?

For the active travellers, a chalet is a great mix of the outdoors and the snug inside. Usually fully furnished and self-catered, chalets are typically wooden and in the Alpine region of Europe, but can also be found elsewhere in the world. Characterised by their sloped roofs, chalets can be single units or separate apartments, and are ideal for skiing holidays.

    The chalet was spacious (great size for the 8 of us that stayed), the facilities were fantastic, and there was plenty of parking space outside the chalet. The staff were super friendly and helpful, and getting discounted prices on the pools entry fee was a bonus. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would absolutely stay again. Highly recommend.

    This is such a lovely place to stay. Our cabin was clean, fresh and welcoming. The staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful. Homemade biscuits were such a nice touch in our room. We had a view of the lake, and it was walking distance to town where there are plenty of shops, cafes and restaurants. I would highly recommend staying here.
