Guest comments
John and Elaine and boys aged 6, 9 and 15. Kids had a super time enjoying the great cycle track and there is so much to do in the area what a super place for a holiday-especially enjoyed new swimming pool after a day out we made good use of the large BBQ. Such a relaxing place.
The Paisley family - We were 2 families holidaying together and had plenty of space to do our own thing. We especially liked the two lounges and 2 kitchens give us room where we could read and have some space. There were plenty of activities for the children, the renown Walibi Park where we all had a great day out. Also the great 'Aqua' indoor swimming complex with lovely lawns outside to enjoy our picnic. Thoroughly recommended. We are thinking of returning next year.
The Holmes family. Good place for a holiday. We were there just before Easter-time. The first couple of nights were a bit chilly so we enjoyed the lovely log fire - super to have 2 lounges both with Satellite TV. Canal trip good.
House swap
Interested in house swap in the wintertime to the Haute Savoie area of France - particularly near to Chatel or Chapelle D'Abondance.
