Chalet 52 was perfect for our needs, clean and well equipped. There were a few niggles, one bedside lamp did not work, a bulb in the bedroom overhead light fitting needed renewing, the 'non-slip' bath mat was incredibly slippery and frankly quite dangerous. We left a note advising of these issues. None of these things affected our enjoyment of the accommodation and we would happily rebook. Thank you again for a very pleasant stay in your property.

The beds leave a lot to be desired, all beds are uncomfortable. When we go again next year (2025) we hope the beds will have been sorted out.
