“I've just returned from another fantastic few weeks with Richmond holidays. Epic skiing, great company, and wonderful accommodation. Being the ministry leader I expected it all to be one way traffic, yet I was enormously blessed by clients and staff alike and came back higher than Mont Blanc! It was very encouraging to see so many wanting to holiday from their jobs but not from God”
Ben Shaw, Alps, Feb 09

“Just to say a warm thanks to you, Emma and Sara and all her staff at Chalet Bovate. It wasn't just a lovely holiday there was also a real sense of God being there. And that was very unexpected. I really went to ski and the Richmond staff made things more than that.

I think my first phone call really made me sit up and take notice that this was a holiday option to have confidence about.

”
Blair Austin, Montchav, Feb 2010

“Once again a brilliant week at Mont Chavin and I managed to keep all my bones in one piece this time. What a personable and accomplished team looking after us! The snow was good and we had a variety of weather conditions from the challenging to the absolutely brilliant on the last day. Mike Cain was one of the best ministry leaders I've met. Do hang onto him please. Many thanks for another brilliant Richmond experience - running so smoothly from first booking to the final farewell at Chambery on the way home. With very best wishes to you all at Richmond as you continue in the Lord's service.”
Ian Brannam, Montchavin, March 2010

It is hard to think of a simple way to summarise our stay - just wonderful!
We are already planning our ski holiday for next year!”
Brian & Judith Tunnicliffe, La Ros and Montchav, Jan 09

“Our two weeks in La Rosiere were just wonderful and especially the young staff, well I am 84, but they worked joyfully and hard. Nothing seemed to be too much for them. The laughter was a tonic anyway. Also the Art input was lovely, interesting and helpful. The Singing week was quite hard at times as we had to learn and re-learn some stuff but the end result was most satisfying and we have been humming away ever since!
”
Roy Lambert, La Rosiere, June 09

”
Gordon McGuinness, La Rosiere, Feb - March 09

“Bali is the perfect resort for the lone traveller; it has all the elements I look for in a holiday-sun, sea, pool, scenery and a proper village - with the bonus that you know you are going to meet friendly like minded people to spend mealtimes and evenings with. This is my third visit to Richmond in Bali - so I think that speaks for itself”
Gillian Coles, Crete, May 09

“We were incredibly impresssed with the good organisation of our holiday, the team of interns were a real credit to you - they really tried to intermingle with the guests are were ever patient and helpful and the leadership was great - a really wholesome experience and a
real showpiece for a Christain company who demonstrated that they can " walk the walk as well as talk the talk.".

Thankyou
God Bless you and your teams”
Maureen Crawford, Montchavin, January 09

I think this is just the most wonderful skiing experience I have ever had.”
Peter Green, La Rosiere, Jan 09

“Enjoyed the worship, the warm friendly atmosphere and relaxing in the sun”
Anne Brown, Crete, May 09

“Top marks. As far as I could tell all the guests had a really enjoyable holiday. Ministry leader Gordon was a real blessing to us. To top it all the snow was great and our skiing improved. Other than for a seven hour delay at the airport yesterday the holiday was more or less perfect. As always the fellowship and friendship between the guests was wonderful, unique to Richmond Christian holidays.

Bravo, Richmond can only go from strength to strength.


”
Paul Morgan, Montchav, Feb 2010

Audrey Hayes, Courchevel, Feb 2010

“Just got back home a couple of hours ago - we found a most wonderful Richmond team led by an absolute legend - Sara. BUT everyone in your Montchavin team were and have been working really very hard - they were clearly enjoying themselves with no exceptions, to make everyone feel wanted and loved. The team was pretty much perfect from what we saw... and all pretty much smiling most of the time and with Ben Shaw adding a great dimension spiritually...
Just thought you'd like to know - food was excellent, rooms spotless, customer care 10/10, ... What more can we say. Richmond is a great brand..
”
Simon & Rachel Farmer, Montchavin, Jan 2010

“We have had the most wonderful week in Courchevel - the staff were absolutely fantastic and the chalet was beautiful. We arrived exhausted by weeks of frantic living and were immediately scooped into an atmosphere of loving care. Nothing seemed to be too much trouble for any of the staff and time and time again they went the "second mile". The chalet was spotless, the meals were wonderful and I never saw Sunita with anything less than a broad smile. Brian and Brenda were selfless in their dedication to both the team and the guests. We feel cherished and refreshed; physically and spiritually - the care we received was almost overwhelming.
Thank you all so much

”
Marion Peters, Courchevel, April 09

“I would like to say, once again, a huge thank you for such a great week away; nothing could have been better. I was so touched by the trouble taken to provide me with wonderful food, my only regret was that the portions were so large I had to leave some of the delicious food. We all so enjoyed the company of the staff. The walks were fantastic and the team very supportive. Really it could not have been better, so many, many thanks.

”
Sally, Andrew and Stuart McHutchon, La Rosiere August 09

“I have just returned from the walking week in La Rosiere and wanted to write to express my sincere thanks for a fantastic holiday.

The scenery was stunning, the walks well planned.

The chalet was lovely and comfortable, food excellent, the baguettes and free wine with the meal a real bonus!

The staff were excellent. The staff could not be more helpful, polite and friendly.

It was a truly magnificent holiday, quite life changing for me.”
Debbie Talbot, La Rosiere, June 09

Thank you.

I trust this was the first of many more great skiing holidays with Richmond!”
Alison Saunders, Montchavin, Feb 09

“Firstly we want to encourage you to develop Richmond Holidays as you have a clear role to play in enabling Christian fellowship to develop in holiday settings. This was practically the most important part of our holiday. It is so refreshing to meet Christian folk and spend time with them on activities which are enjoyable for us all.
Secondly, I have to say that the sailing tuition from Naomi Brown in Samos was exceptional - I learnt more from her in a few sessions than in most of my other Mastersun experiences put together!”
David Finney, Samos, July 09

Once again I would like to say a massive thank you to the whole team in La
Ros for all their hardwork in giving me and my friends a great week!

Do hope and pray the season is going well and it will be the same for the winter season.”
Graham Pumfrett, Kos July 09
