Fantastic stay at Alba! We had everything we needed, the bed was amazingly comfortable and the location was brilliant for the skiing we wanted to do. The cabin was very clean and the hot tub was lovely on an evening. There is a brilliant welcome/info book that explains everything with brilliant recommendations and we found this so helpful! The town is a short drive away and has everything you could need. We would highly recommend a stay here

“Cute eco cabins for a lovely stay in the countryside”
I loved the design and eco vibe, everything was made out of wood and had nice green/brown/ beige tones. There are 4-5 cabins on site, but spaced well. The area is georgous, the town is nearby (with good options for cafes - ,mind you £4 for a coffee! - and a couple pubs, there's a lovely river walk from the property. The hosts were very accommodating with our change in dates and excellent in Whatsapp communication. The hot tub super comfy and we watched the stars from it. Good kitchen facilities, we enjoyed the airfryer - no freezer. Loved the Christmas decor!
