Unhappy stay
We booked through Hotel.com and requested a chalet 2 bedroom for 4 adults. When we arrived at 15h30 we were taken to a room with 2 double beds(No one queried this at the time) Not sure as my mom booked chalet for us.
At 20h30 at night they came to tell us we in the wrong type of room and we have to pay more and change rooms.
Firstly, why not say something at check in so we could have sorted it out than. Not at this time of night.
We showed them the request of booking, the type of room and the amount we paid. They were not interested.
They made us feel as if we were trying to sneak people in.
Will never stay there again or recommend them. They need to understand customer service first.
The chalets look a little unimaginative aesthetically. Needs a proper rethink. The pub/bar area is too sterile and would really need some decore investment. The wood and lighting should be old school dark to give it country atmosphere.

Restaurant for dinner was disappointing as they only had 3 mains to choose from
My family and I enjoyed our time at this resort. The food was well served and delicious and fresh. The staff were friendly and helpful. We loved the location very central to all the local spots. My daughter enjoyed the pool and putt. We will be back.

comfortable
We had a few issues, that reception could solve when asked. The unit had a very nice view over a dam, that was a plus.
Although we did not use any of it, the kids activities looked good.
