Steve & Phil Purdie, the two founders of The Chalet Company, were brought up by a Scottish Mother whose attention to detail and insistence on punctuality, politeness and good home economics are legendary. We have always felt that the devil is in the detail…lighting the fire when the first guest arrives is too late, it should be roaring by that time! Knowing that not everyone wants a glass of champagne on arrival is important – sometimes nothing hits the spot like a nice cup of tea! And greeting every guest with a genuine smile is absolutely essential.

These early lessons run through everything we do and have become the basis of our philosophy; to offer our guests 4-star chalets with 5-star service but at 3-star prices.
