Great location, great views and great accomodation. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Spacious, well furnished, quiet, equipped with everything you could need for a holiday. Good views, especially in the snow! The new ensuite is lovely, though the water pressure is low and takes along time to heat the water in the shower. (I only mention incase the owners are not aware of this.) We will be back next year for our next stay
