2 families in 2 triple rooms. We stayed for 3 nights on bed + breakfast basis 18 - 21 Feb 2013. The owners were fantasticly helpful and went out of their way to make sure that we enjoyed our stay. Marc (the owner) without hesitation and free of charge gave 6 of us a lift to another hotel at 19.30 one evening to meet up with with friends staying 2 miles away, despite his own restaurant being fully booked. He then even offered to pick us up again at the end of the evening!! Exceptional personal service that was beyond excellent. We ate in the hotel on the first night and were very impressed with the menu selection and the food. In the end we wish that we had booked on half-board basis as we enjoyed the food and the friendly atmosphere in the restaurant and ate in the hotel 2 out of our 3 nights. The breakfast buffet was similarly good quality with fresh fruit juice, cereals, croissant, bread, selection of fruit yogurts, selection of chilled hams, jams, honey and a fresh fruit basket etc. all served with great coffee (or tea / hot chocolate). The free ski bus service runs from the bus stop just along from the hotel and runs promptly to a scheduled timetable. The hotel has a bar area where you can relax and enjoy a drink. In all we really enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to recommend it to others.
