Thanks for the info Stu & Lou - I'll have a look at your website. By the way, we're looking to stay for a week. I think you may have got this topic mixed with another.

I'm with snapzzz re. ski in ski out.

We used Lockwoods in Leomington Spa. No complaints.

As people have said you need a good number of reviews to get a meaningful sample but, IMHO, you'll still get a higher percentage of people who had a problem make a comment than those who didnt so the view will be skewed

I've just returned from a work trip to Arizona and the hotel, conference centre and the golf course all got very mixed reviews from the US citizens but we Brits who were there all loved it!

Not sure I totally agree with this Andy. I've left 4 reviews so far, 3 excellent (5 out 5) and 1 poor (2 out of 5). One of the reviews was for a B&B in Ventnor, Isle of Wight. Just checked and they have 86 reviews, all of them being 5 out of 5.

We are returning to the same Ski Bonjour chalet in Val d'Isere this coming season (Bivouac). They also are highly rated with 24 of the 25 reviews being 5 out of 5.

Actually, this has just reminded me that I need to leave a review for a dreadful night in a Brighton hotel from last year!

Done.

Would have liked to tick the 'daily' box for how often I ski!

Just bought Total Skiing by Chris Fellows. Anyone got his book? Looks an interesting read. The ski fitness section could be very useful and hopefully motivational....

Ditto, hate walking in ski boots. 100m is about as far as I will tolerate.

Done (although I always rent skis and always pay extra for theft insurance. Therefore it doesn't really matter if they are stolen!)
