The property was in beautiful Samoens village.
It was perfect in every way. The bed was comfy and temperature just right. Bath was very welcome after skiing . Kitchen was well equipped and you could not ask for more.
The owner was great .. giving advice when requested. Check in was so clear and easy.
Had an amazing holiday.
10.0 / 10.0
Communication with the owner was excellent throughout. The property was very central to Samoens central square, and it overlooked lovely local fields with cows and horses.
The house itself was well equipped, with a functional kitchen and a well thought out rooming situation. We were only two people, but the house could deal easily with 6. The wood fire is excellent and warms the house very quickly. We would definitely go back. Excellent!

Le bon choix pour une famille.
Une maison de caractère, fort bien aménagée, dans un village qui ne ressemble pas aux stations alpines modernes. Le cadre est magnifique, on y skie, on y luge, on y raquette...

Belle vacances dans un joli village de montagne, chalet idéalement situé.
Beau chalet mitoyen, idéalement situé dans Samoens bien équipé, très chaleureux, joliment décoré, manque un petit bout de jardin. Le coin est parfait et idéal pour la randonnée, le parapente. Hâte de revenir en hiver pour les joies du ski

Chalet agréable, idéalement situé tout près du centre de Samoens
L'ancienne fromagerie est une agréable petite maison proche du centre de Samoens et de toute les commodités.
Quelques petits soucis à l'arrivée (l'agent local de Jayne n'avait apparemment pas tout vérifié), mais la communication parfaite avec Jayne nous a largement rassuré et le séjour a été très sympathique.
Merci à Jayne pour sa disponibilité et les petites attentions.

Excellent!
Merci pour cet excellent séjour. Tout était parfait. Nous étions attendu comme à la maison. Le chalet est super bien situé, et toutes les prestations sont correspondent à votre description. Nous étions 4 adultes et 5 ados, le chalet est suffisant pour nous accueillir. Encore merci, nous reviendrons avec grand plaisir.

Super sejour
Chalet très propre, décoré avec goût. Petit panier d’accueil très appréciable. idéalement situé dans une rue calme tout étant proche du centre.
Le chalet est très bien agencé, super bien équipé (pour cuisiner il y a tous les ustensiles).
Avec jayne et Bethan la communication est très facile par mails ou messages. Elles sont vraiment gentilles.
Je retiens ce chalet pour de futurs séjours ou vacances

Sympathique séjour à Samoëns
L'Ancienne fromagerie est un petit nid douillet et bien située au calme, à moins de 5 minutes à pied de la place centrale du village. Pour rejoindre les remontées mécaniques du Grand-Massif Express, il y a un arrêt desservi par une ligne de bus (la turquoise) et le Spetitrain et vous êtes au départ des télécabines en 5 min. C'est plutôt idéal.

Jayne & Richard, the owners of this lovely chalet, could not be more helpful - really easy to book, lots of information about the chalet and the area before we arrived, great directions and efficient booking. The welcome pack was a lovely touch. My husband and I are now looking forward to our 3rd visit!Our next visit, coming up in January 2017, will be our 2nd winter trip and will again be an ideal venue for us to meet up with family and share the fun of the Alps and the comforts of lovely chalet with them. Our earlier summer visit in 2011 introduced us to the beautiful countryside the property enjoys along with the chalet itself which is ideally located and equipped for both winter and summer holidays. The chalet continues to be beautifully presented and last January we were able to enjoy using the extensively refurbished kitchen, perfect for serving hot soup and warm bread following a trip to the slopes (or if you feel really inspired you could easily cook gourmet food for 9 hungry mouths – every kitchen utensils and equipment!). However, its also great to have so many restaurants, bars, a wonderful pâtisserie and boulangerie within walking distance in the town and the deli’s only minutes walk away for delicious croissants for breakfast. Proving youre never too old to learn my husband is insisting he will have some sking lesson to celebrate his 70th birthday whilst we are there this coming January!!!! However, if he does change his mind the chalet is located on the flat, with no hills but has fantastic views of mountains and traditional chalets from the windows!Thanks again for giving us great memories and good times to look forward to.
