There were three of us staying at Les Bruyeres sharing a room. The room was small but clean and comfortable and was sufficient for our needs. The breakfast was the same daily but the beans were pretty tasteless. As mentioned previously by other guests, there was a microwave to reheat food if required. I thought the breakfast area was crying out for a omelette station but I guess with all the guests breakfasting at the same time it would be mobbed. The staff were hard working, rooms were clean and the evening meal portions were always generous. Most of the guests were French and the catering was focused on that taste, though we enjoyed what was on offer and never lacked for food. The wine was nice as well with carafes provided to fill yourselves for white, red or water. The salad bar was popular with a good variety including pate' as was the sweet selection. I have to agree with the comments with regard to the Apres Ski and say that there were not a lot of other local establishments in Les Bruyeres with one other nightclub in easy distance but there were other nice restaurants and pubs nearby as well so a trek to Les Menuires would be required unless you got the local bus service. The bar upstairs and sun terrace was under used and a few times there was no-one manning it on our return from a day on the mountain. We were there for the skiing though and found the location great for getting up the mountain on Bruyeres 1&2 or across to Pointe De La Masse, Doron and Masse1 though an early start is advised to beat the ques. The Ski Boot Room was warm but restricted access with some rude fellow guests, again we got there early and hauled out all the equipment in 1 go as far as possible to the outer foyer and booted up there. Seeing what other places charge we thought the value was fair to good and we found our stay comfortable, staff were helpful and friendly, enjoyed the food and avoided some of the huge morning ques at Val Thorens or Les Menuires. We really enjoyed our stay and would consider returning.

“Enjoyable stay”

We had a 2 person room , half board. Room was clean, bur small. Bed was 2 twins pushed together (which is fine). Bathroom is nice. Small fridge in the room which is handy. Gym.. barely there.

We had a 2 person room , half board. Room was clean, bur small. Bed was 2 twins pushed together (which is fine). Bathroom is nice. Small fridge in the room which is handy. Gym.. barely there. Contains a rower, static bike, and elliptical trainer , not even a token kettlebell. Would really like to see a few dumbbells and a treadmill! Breakfast was ok. Plenty choices. Only thing, I’d have liked more bread and full size croissants. Dinner, was good for non vegetarians. Definitely not good for non meat eaters. Ski room is tight, bar is nice. Overall enjoyed our stay.

“Quite disappointing!”

Lovely staff but be advised if you are staying longer than 4 nights you will not be provided with towels, weirdly if you stay 4 night they are provided!

Lovely staff but be advised if you are staying longer than 4 nights you will not be provided with towels, weirdly if you stay 4 night they are provided! There is no bar or restaurant, this did not affect us but others were complaining as it is advertised as having these. The pool is awesome, take a euro for the locker and flip flops. We stayed self catering and was very disappointed to see there was nothing in the apartment for cleaning so make sure you go buy everything you need. Usually there is a limited starter kit but not here. There is an optional end of stay clean but that doesn’t include anything in the kitchen, on inspection after departure you may be charged if they deem it not clean. We had dirty plates and cutlery in the cupboard when we arrived so clearly it is not inspected very well. Last thing, you have to make the beds up yourself which is fine, just a warning after a long drive. The apartment is lovely, with just a couple of tweaks could be so much better.
