Chalross was perfect for a family holiday, plenty of room, nicely but practically decorated and the equipment was of good quality. Space for everyone to be together and quiet corners too.

A beautiful house with lots of space ideal for our group of three families. As a dog owner I like to stay somewhere with walks on the doorstep and the location meant I didnt need to use the car at all to get somewhere beautiful.
