Just returned from a great holiday at Chalet Chez Menor with fabulous hosts Sam and Laura and a great group of sociable fun people! The chalet was cosy and comfortable, and situated in a great location to Meribel town centre. We loved the added bonus of a hot tub which came in handy after a long day on the slopes! Our hosts Sam and Laura were lovely - they made us feel very relaxed and worked very hard to make sure we all had a wonderful stay. The standard of catering was excellent, we never left the table hungry! We had some delicious homemade meals, in particular, beef and ale pie, mushroom and blue cheese risotto, apple crumble, lemon tart ... The list goes on!! The bread and homemade cakes were also a delicious treat to come back to in the afternoon. We would also like to thank the minibus drivers Ed and Michael for a reliable and efficient service to the slopes every day... Meribel is a great resort for beginners and we were blessed with glorious sunshine every day and quiet slopes! We never had to queue for the lifts and the après was lively and great fun - Meribar and Folie Douce in particular! Meribel is an expensive resort (a beer was approx 7/8 euro) but we were prepared for that before we came. Laura also organised for 'Pamper off Piste' mobile massage and beauty therapists to come out to the chalet for us - a treat but thoroughly recommended. All in all, we had a fabulous holiday! Definitely recommended. Wish we could go back!

We stayed (a group of 7) with our lovely hosts Stef and Dave at Chalet Chez Menor from 11-18 Jan. The Chalet is great; spacious, massive boot room, amazing views from the breakfast table. Our hosts Stef and Dave were amazing, nothing was too much trouble, they were very friendly and always on hand to help out. They whipped up some culinary masterpieces during our stay, kept the chalet in A1 condtion and provided plenty of humour, we could not ask for anything more. Easily the best hosts over my last 10 seasons boarding. Stef and Dave were supported by Elliot our driver and Ellie our rep. Elliot is a great bloke and he always went the extra mile,no pun intended.... Ellie was very nice and popped in every night and made sure that we were all ok. All in all a great a holiday. Room for improvement... Well a hot tub on the balcony would not go a miss, but other than that I can't think of anything else.. I would definately recomend a stay here this season..

This was the first time that we had ever stayed in a catered chalet and we were initially unsure what to expect. We appreciated the drink and home made flapjack on the coach trip up the mountain, and being given our lift passes before reaching the resort, but this really was just the start of a perfect holiday. Steph and Dave greeted our coach and helped carry the luggage to the chalet. They were both very friendly and welcoming, and nothing was too much trouble for them. Dave's culinary expertise both at breakfast and the evening three course meals was brilliant and everything was delicious, whilst Steph surpassed herself with the wonderful cakes that we came back to, after a long days skiing. She even made a three tiered chocolate birthday cake for one of our group! The chalet itself was very comfortable with fantastic views and Meribel is probably one of the most picturesque resorts that we have visited over the years. Rory, was very helpful driving us to and from the centre each day, and provided us with up to date weather forecasts to help us decide where it would be best to ski. We had a mixture of sunny and snowy days which made for perfect piste conditions and amazing powder. We managed to explore quite a bit of the Trois Vallees, but given the size of the ski area, there are many more holidays to be had here. Overall, it was a brilliant holiday and one we shall never forget. Our heartfelt thanks go to Steph, Dave, Rory, Tom & Sophie for looking after us so well and we would definitely recommend this chalet to everyone and would certainly return.
