Other Details to Note
Access to the Chalet is 1st floor via an open riser staircase. The chalet has an open plan layout, meaning the king bed and sofa bed are in the same living space. From mid-September 2026 to February 2027, we will be carrying out an extension to our family home, which is located next-door to the Chalet. During normal weekday working hours, you may occasionally see builders accessing our property and there may be some daytime construction activity. The Chalet will remain fully private and accessible throughout, and we expect any disruption to be minimal. However, we believe in being completely transparent so you can make an informed decision before booking.
