“Ancolies Lodge looked fab on website. Was lovely on arrival. Fantastic. … an amazing chef, every meal was a culinary delight – adaptable to portions, alternative foods, nothing was refused or met without a smile. We could not have wished for more fantastic hosts. … provided more than what they are paid for. Lovely, lovely couple who were interesting, funny and bloody good at their job. It was fantastic to have them join in, as well as tend to our every need. Thank you both.”

"we all had a fantastic time last week, and are all in agreement that we will come back next year- not something we say about every chalet!  I also want you to know that Lee, Justina and Mike were the best hosts I have had for many years- and the food they produced was first class!. Thanks to you also for making our trip so easy, and all the best- who knows, we may be getting in contact with you again soon for next year!?”

“Our week in Ancolies Lodge was great.  Lee and Justina (chalet hosts) were superb and their cooking is off the scale of delicious.  We had a fab week.”

10/04/11, Lucy Frostwick, Ancolies Lodge

“We had a great time last week! The chalet was brilliant and Lee and Justina made great hosts, even while not feeling their best they were able to make us welcome and bent over backwards for us. Like I said the facilities were perfect and the food brilliant! Your recommendation of ski hire companies was well founded, I have never had them visit the chalet before but it is definetly the way to go, they even visited throughout the week to check the group were happy with boots etc it was a great set up!
We also really appreciated the help afforded to us on change-over day! It would have been a nightmare without SnowChateaux's involvement.  Please could you pass on our thanks to the team involved."
