Good chalet, but not great!
For our purposes (family wedding) this chalet represented the best value for our small party. The location of the park is lovely, especially when the weather is glorious, with plenty of dappled shade and lots of birds & waterfowl to enjoy watching.
There was plenty of very hot water, and the water pressure was great, so lots of showers in the morning are not a problem.
The devil is in the detail however. There's a shortage of hanging space in this chalet, with only one wardrobe in the master bedroom, but no hanging hooks in any of the other rooms, or the bathroom! The only place to put your towel whilst showering was either on the toilet seat, or on the radiator, which had wet rust from a leak at the top of it - not ideal.
The only mirror was in the bathroom, which can be problematic, as it is easily streamed up, and you don't really want to hog the bathroom in the morning when there is a queue.
We were rather surprised that basic supplies were short or missing. One toilet roll, no hand soap, no washing-up liquid, no dishcloth or tea towels in the kitchen, no teabags or instant coffee just to get you started. We arrived, unpacked, and then had to go out shopping for basics, which was disappointing.
All of this is addressable: Tell people in the listing that they will need to bring basic supplies, so it's not a surprise that is sprung on you after a five and a half hour drive. Put hooks on the back of doors, in the corridor, and a mirror in the lounge. Simples.
