We were visiting from Australia and booked 6 months in advance in the hope of a White Christmas and boy we were not disappointed. Great staff, great location, breakfast is a bit of a hustle particularly for a large family, but a bit of patience goes a long way. Our family suite was spacious and comfortable. Easy walk to heavenly... More
