Quartier des Bergers Apartments , Alpe d'Huez, France

We went to Les Berges as a last minute deal for New Year. We are a family of 4 with a 3 and 7 year old. The apartment was fine - very basic but the children's space was much bigger than I expected - they really had their own room - 2 twin beds, bedside tables, chest of drawers, then the corridor had the big wardrobe and then through a DOOR to the kitchen / dining / adult sleeping area. The bed set up was strange with me on a trolley bed on the floor and my other half on the sofa higher than me. We were in the basement and obviously the cheapest rooms but actually great as next to the swimming pool, sauna and boot room. The ski slopes and play park were really close by and so too was the supermarket. We took some food with us and spent about £100 on food when we were there. We never ate out but cooked well in the apartment - no kettle or chopping board though. Also a really unsharp knife! Also if you want coffee you need to buy filter papers which were pricey. On arrival you get a cleaning pack with 5 dishwasher tablets, washing up liquid, surface cleaner, a cloth and a scourer so no need to take those items. You have to make your beds when you arrive so it was a bit stressful when we arrived late due to delays with young kids. Overall if you want a cheap no frills holiday this was great.
