The kitchen is fully equipped for 4 with a fridge, microwave and cooker. There is ample free parking directly outside the chalet. Electricity is now included. ‘Sandraline’ is extremely dog friendly. Owned by a dog lover, who loves spending time there with family, friends and as many dogs as we can fit in (and even the occasional cat!). They just love it. Hagrid, a dog, was so happy he didn’t stop chasing his tail for a week. He loves it here so much he never wants to go home. There is no charge for doggies..
