A lovely chalet very suitable for us. It was well equipped and would be very suitable for a young family as well as an older family group like us.

Great lodge, big enough for a family of 6. We used the hot tub everyday which was a nice treat The lodge is well equiped with everything you need. (Would suggest it needs a clothes airer to hang wet clothes )Location is good, the phoenox leisure centre is up and coming with renovations and expected swimming pool in summer. My kids enjoyed roller skating which had just opened. Plenty of local supermarkets within 5 minute drive. Nice quiet area not loud or overcrowded like some resorts can be.
