At the rear of the chalet, what were 2 bedrooms have now been converted into one large room with dividing doors for privacy.

The fully adjustable bed fits nicely on the left hand side of this room and is within easy access of the fully adapted wetroom.

This room also has a shelved cupboard which is ideal for storing items such as medicines etc. The right hand side of this room contains one double bed and 3 wardrobes. Off the hallway there is a single bedroom with bunk beds and a standard bathroom with bath, over-bath shower, WC and sink. There is parking for 2 cars and a ramp provides access to the chalet.
