It is with great sadness that today we closed the doors to Riley’s Holiday Chalet for the final time. It was a very hard decision for us but today we sold the chalet and handed the reins to new owners. We have had an amazing 5 years at Riley’s. We bought the holiday home knowing it needed a lot of work and we took on the challenge, done a lot of renovation work and also improved it over the years. We built up a reputable business, with returning guests year after year as well as new guests staying every year. We had 150+ excellent or good reviews on Airbnb, Tripadvisor and Facebook and some lovely reviews left in the guest books.
We never anticipated COVID-19 having a massive impact on the self catering accommodation and hospitality business, which meant that we had to close the chalet to guests between March 2020 to July 2020 and again from November 2020 to April 2021. When we reopened in April we were at 100% capacity until the end of 2021 but it was the closure of Riley’s during those difficult times that finally allowed us to make the decision to sell and take on our new and upcoming venture.
So it’s with a heavy heart for us to say a sorrowful goodbye to every single guest and thank you to each of you who helped spread the word and give great reviews. Also a huge thank you to all our loved ones who supported us. We are forever grateful.
However, we will keep this page live for a couple of months and we will be happy to pass on your details to the new owners should you wish to stay at the chalet.
Ciao for now….
Love from Lee, Angela and Riley x
