Bored of the usual chalet format and want something a bit different and tailored to your own needs? Well how about giving the fabulous Chill Chalet a try. We came across these guys whilst looking for accommodation for a short break in March…. Chill Chalet was set up in 2000 by Chris Cracknell and Lucy [...]
