We had one of our favourite Premier Chalets on Village Square. These chalets are quiet and warm and not to far to walk to the main building. Food was good and we enjoyed the shows put on by theatre company who work so hard. We were less impressed with Donna Ramsdale who has a good voice but chatters far to much...
