Samoens

 

“Thank you for the excellent customer service we received from your company on both of our trips. In this day and age, customers are only to quick to complain, so we feel it’s only fair to give praise for good service”

Mr. K, Brighouse – Samoens, Les Fermes de Samoens, 15th April 2006 & 23rd December 2005

 

“Just a quick thank you for organising a fabulous fortnight in Samoëns. The Hotel Neige et Roc was great – it deserves a 4* rating not 3. The food was stunning, the facilities were good and the staff were superb. I will book up again for next year as soon as your brochure is out. ”

Mr. F, Guildford – Samoëns, Hotel Neige et Roc, 25th March 2006

 

 

“I just wanted to say that we had a fabulous week in Samoëns. The chalet was gorgeous and so well kitted out – we absolutely loved it. The village was beautiful and the snow quite fantastic. The service we experienced with your company and the representatives in the village was also quite perfect – so thank you. Many thanks again, for all your help in arranging our holiday.

Mrs. B, The Netherlands – Samoëns, Chalet Les Etoiles, 4th March 2006

 

“Just arrived home after our stay in Chalet Michelle in Samoëns, French Alps. What a fantastic chalet, please can you pass a message onto the owners of how delighted we were and all the extra little touches (did you know that Christmas decorations stay up until March!) The chalet felt like a home. We were so pleased with the organisation and the whole family had such a fantastic time, we have passed your details on !!!! Thanks again and we will be back.”

Mrs. M, North Yorkshire – Chalet Michelle, Samoëns, 18th February 2006

 

“My wife and some friends have just come back from an excellent holiday in Samoëns through your company.”       

Mr. C, East Yorkshire – Samoëns, Chalet Les Terraces, 25th March 2006

 

“We had a fantastic trip, the chalet was excellent, thought your website description was spot on and would recommend you to anyone who is looking for something a little bit different. We were well received by the owner of the chalet and everything else just fell into place. Thank you very much for all your help with regards to the holiday.”

  Mr. M, London – Samoëns, Chalet Arnica, 4th February 2006

 

 

“We were very impressed with both the hotel and the area around Samoëns generally. The town was great and has very high-class shops. The hotel surpassed our expectations. The owners were charming and extremely hard working and efficient as well. The rooms were of a high standard and were cleaned well everyday. As for the food, it was absolutely excellent. Ever night a new treat and the breakfasts made lunch unnecessary. To summarise, we were very pleased with the trip and enjoyed it a lot and thank you for your efficient organisation of the whole thing.”

Mr L. – Samoëns, Neige et Roc, December 2005

 

“We had a brilliant time in Samoens over New Year and thought that the MGM apartment was lovely”

Mr. F, Chichester – Samoëns, Villa Monette, 31st December 2005

 

“Just returned from holiday and wanted to say thank you. The hotel was excellent, the area was magnificent and the directions and arrangements made by yourselves were first class. I will recommend Samoens, the hotel and your company to everyone I talk to. Once again thank you”

Mr W. Leeds – Samoens, Hotel Neige et Roc, August 2005

 

“We have just returned from a very enjoyable week in Le Marolie in Samoëns. The apartment was good, and within easy reach of the ski bus, and the ski area excellent”

Mrs E. Essex – Samoëns, le Marolie, March 2005

 

“I was extremely impressed with the very helpful way you dealt with the administrative aspects of the holiday. I think we changed the passenger details, the car details and the ferry timing, as well as changing other elements such as pre-booking of equipment hire. You seemed unperturbed by any of these alterations and at no time was I made to feel uncomfortable about making work for you….We had an excellent time, a reflection of good weather, good snow and a degree of local mobility as a result of having driven there.”

Mr. B, Oxford - Samoëns, Les Fermes de Samoens, 11th February 2005

 

“We did have a wonderful time and look forward to returning next year”

Mrs B. Essex –Samoëns, Alpina des Moulins, February 2005

 

“We enjoyed our stay at Le Marolie

Mr H. Northamptonshire – Le Marolie, Samoëns, February 2005

 

“The chalet was very comfortable indeed and we had a great time. All in All we liked Samoens very much. The skiing was excellent and the non-skiers enjoyed the village and walks in the surrounding countryside. Everyone was very friendly and helpful and we enjoyed the local restaurants. It is highly likely that we will want to visit Chalet Michelle again in the future.”

Mr M. Bedfordshire – Samoëns, Michelle, February 2005

 

 

“We have recently returned from a 5 day visit to the Neige et Roc hotel in Samoëns where we had a fantastic stay…Staff were very helpful throughout and the hotel and food were lovely.”

Mrs C. Hertfordshire – Samoëns, Neige et Roc, January 2005

 

“We stayed in Neige et Roc and enjoyed ourselves very much. The hotel was excellent.”

Mr R. Weston-Super-Mare - Samoëns, Neige et Roc, Dec 2004

 

Sixt-Fer-a-Cheval

 

“A belated thanks to Peak Retreats. Le Penoutlay was wonderful as was Sixt Fer A Cheval. Had some beautiful weather and fab skiing. Great to have spent time in Morillon and seen the support for Antoine Deneriaz. Will definitely use Peak Retreats again.”

Ms. S, London – Le Penoutlay, Sixt Fer A Cheval, 4th February 2006

 

 

Les Gets

 

“I spent a week in Hotel Regina in Les Gets. I would like to thank Emilie for her brilliant hospitality which enhanced our stay”

Mr M. Bangor – Hotel Regina, Les Gets, July 2005

 

“We were extremely happy with the general organisation, everything ran smoothly: the airport pick-up, picking up the keys and linen, getting the ski equipment and passes. We found the chalet to be better than the internet had led us to believe, it was extremely well equipped. The skiing in Les Gets was great. We were all very happy with every part of the holiday. We were very impressed with Pas de Chevre and would be very interested in booking again for next year”

Mr T. Glasgow – Les Gets, Pas de Chevre, January 2005

 

 

Chatel

 

“We have just returned from a week in Chatel…we were very pleased with the arrangements, the resort, the snow and the accommodation at Sports Evasion…We thank you for your help and advice in booking this holiday.”

Saint-Gervais

 

“The situation of the block could not have been better other than on the slopes themselves and all in all I would go back again”

Ms H.Blackburn – Saint-Gervais, Grand Panorama, March 2005

 

 

Argentiere

 

“Just a quick email to let you know that we had a fantastic ski holiday in Argentiere last week. The apartment was great and in a good location within the village. Your website described everything very accurately and overall we have found Peak Retreats great to deal with. You were recommended by friends and we will be making like wise recommendation”.

Mr. A, Inverness – Le Cristal d’Argentiere, Argentiere, 8th April 2006

 

I arrived home late last night from a superb skiing holiday which much of the booking was made with yourselves. I would like to take two minutes to thank you for your services. Everything from transfer to ski hire went as smooth as clockwork and the accommodation was absolutely excellent. The accommodation explanation was exact and location was superb for access. I will recommend your company and will certainly use you again.”

Mr. H, Birmingham – Argentiere, Le Cristal d’Argentiere, 31st December 2005

 

“We have just returned from our weeks holiday in the Cristal apartments in Argentiere. I would like you to know how wonderful it was and how much we appreciate the work put in by all of you to make our holiday such a successful and memorable one. The apartment was sheer luxury. Warm, well equipped, beautifully clean. And the staff on site were brilliant. We will be highly recommending your company to our friends.”

Mrs J. Nottingham – Le Cristal, Argentiere, January 2005

 

 

 

Morillon

 

“Would like to say how much we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Morillon. We stayed at a wonderful apartment, which met our requirements perfectly. Many thanks to the staff at Peak Retreats.”

Mrs. B, Gwent – Morillon 1100, Le Refuge de l’Alpage, 8th April 2006

 

“I have to say a big thank you for a superb skiing holiday. We stayed in Le Buet in Morillon and everything was fantastic. We had apartments opposite some friends which really helps as we could share the cooking and the children could play together in the evening. I have been on many skiing holidays and have paid a fortune in the past. Going with your company was in no way a compromise, even though it was that much cheaper. In fact due to it being so good we have passed your web address onto a number of friends and will definitely be booking with you again next year, as it was so good value we may even be able to afford two weeks skiing which has never been a possibility in the past. Of course it helped by the conditions being perfect (it was snowing when we arrived and then the sun shone all week) but the location of the apartments was fantastic – I have never stayed so close to the slopes before. Anyway I just wanted to tell you what a fantastic time we had and keep up the good work.”          

Mrs. P, Oxon – Morillon 1100, Le Buet, 11th March 2006

 

“We had a really good stay, Morillon was excellent for us beginners and the village at Les Esserts had plenty of facilities, with easy access to Morillon Village by cable car. The apartment was very nice and in an excellent position to gain access to all the facilities. We spoke to other holiday makers who had used Peak Retreats and everyone thought it was excellent value for money. On the whole we were extremely satisfied with the whole package. Thank you for all your help in booking our holiday, we will certainly recommend Peak Retreats to friends and use the company again.”

  Mrs. H, Liverpool – Morillon 1100, Le Buet, 4th March 2006

 

“Just a note to say how much we enjoyed our holiday.”

Mr H, Leeds – Morillon 1100, Le Refuge de l’Alpage, 18th February 2006

 

“We were lucky enough to enjoy for the first time a skiing holiday in Morillon village, during the February half term, with our friends who live in Geneva. The holiday was booked with yourselves and was very well arranged with all information provided…We had a great holiday and would love to return”

Mrs P – Morillon 1100 – Le Refuge de l’Alpage, 11th February 2006

 

“My boys and I had a really great time in Morillon. The apartment was just what we needed and I will certainly recommend your site to others.”

Mr. C, Leicester - Morillon 1100, Le Refuge de l’Alpage, 7th January2006

 

“Many thanks for your co-operation and attention to detail when we booked our holiday. Morillon and the surrounding resorts are fantastic with many interesting and varied pistes enough to challenge anyone from beginner to expert. I am a great fan of casual skiing ie. in my own time with occasional stops for coffee and food. The Grand Massif offers plenty of mountain restaurants enough to satisfy everyone. The snow was the best for 10 years, which obviously helps the enjoyment. Best of all, Le Buet apartments were right on the piste enabling us to ski to and from without carrying hefty skis. The apartment itself was superb compared to other French resorts, nicely finished, spacious and close to the resort shop, ski hire and lift pass office. We drove through from Calais which was easier than finding most places in England with the downside being nearly 2000 miles return from Cumbria. But this will not put me off. Please pass on our thanks to everyone at Peak Retreats for a great time.”

Mr E, Cumbria – Morillon 1100, Le Buet, 7th January 2006

 

“A rather belated email to say that we had a wonderful holiday at Morillon 1100 at New Year, and to that the man I spoke to in the office who first suggested it. When I explained that we’d never been skiing before he was just so helpful. The apartment was great – in a wonderful location and very well equipped. The weather was fantastic and the advice I got from the Peak Retreats office about which resort to choose, ski passes to buy etc. absolutely invaluable. My husband and I are recommending you to everyone. Many Thanks”

Mrs. E, Port Glasgow – Morillon 1100, Le Refuge de l’Alpage, 31st December 2005

 

“We all had a fantastic time. The hotel clean and basic was so friendly, the food superb. The staff were so helpful. So a big thank you and perhaps see you next season.”      

Mrs. B, Northampton - Morillon, Hotel Le Morillon, 31st December 2005

 

 

“Thank you for your helping arranging my trip to the Hotel Le Morillon over Christmas. The hotel was ideal, super position and importantly we found the staff most accommodating in the vegetarian requirements of my wife! The food was very good, excellent service and the wine list offered a sufficient choice of quality wines at a very fair price. We were blessed of course with excellent skiing conditions and being able to ski back to the hotel was great. I reckon this village is in an ideal position for access to the Grand Massif ski area. It would be too quiet, perhaps, for the younger partygoers but for us golden oldies, a youthful 50, just fine! Another good choice by your company”           

Mr. S, Bristol – Morillon, Hotel Le Morillon, 22nd December 2005

 

“Everything Peak Retreats organised worked like clockwork…. Overall we found the service from Peak Retreats excellent and we will definitely be using you again. We loved the fact that Morillon was quiet and not very commercialised. We look forward to skiing with you again”

Mrs C. Lanark – Morillon, Le Buet, April 2005

 

“We recently returned from our family skiing holiday booked via Peak Retreats….the addition of a piste map in the final documents was a great touch, we got to plan all the runs before even arriving, the kids loved that…your maps were excellent and we had no problem in finding our hotel, Le Buet…the staff were both friendly and helpful. We found the flat very clean and the equipment level good… The whole holiday was fab!”

Mrs B. Cambridgeshire – Morillon, Le Buet, March 2005

 

“Just got back and thought I’d drop you a note. The accommodation was excellent – having had many ski holidays where hot water was as rare as hen’s teeth it was a delight to have two showers and a bath with ample water for all 6 including three girls!!! We were all extremely impressed with the facilities in the apartment and location was excellent – especially pleasing being able to leave the skis and boots at the shop – a very welcome facility at the end of a hard days skiing.”

Mr A. Sydenham – Morillon, Le Refuge de l’Alpage, March 2005

 

“We have now returned from our holiday and enjoyed it very much”

Mr S. Kent – Sevenoaks, Hotel le Morillon, March 2005

 

“We had a great time skiing and we all loved the chalet”

Mr B. London – Morillon, Les Marmottes, March 2005

 

 

“We have just returned from our week at Chalet Guelues de Loup in Morillon- we had a great time.”

Mrs B. Surrey – Morillon, Chalet Guelues de Loup, February 2005

 

“We had a fantastic week in Morillon – thanks to your auction of the chalet. The skiing/ boarding was great – very quiet slopes and hardly any queuing. Thanks again for giving us the opportunity for a holiday we wouldn’t have been able to afford otherwise.”

Mrs G. Edinburgh –Morillon, Mas Devant, February 2005

 

“We have recently returned from a holiday with Peak Retreats in Morillon.  We enjoyed the area so much we are now in the process of buying a chalet apartment there!“

Mrs L. Hertfordshire – Morillon, Le Buet, February 2005

 

“We wouldn’t think twice about using Peak Retreats again as they have been very helpful. We also thought that your apartment was lovely, and more importantly well equipped for a self catering holiday”

Mrs F.Cheshire – Morillon, Le Refuge de l’Alpage, Feb 2005

 

“Just a quick note to say that we had a great holiday in Morillon last week- the accommodation was great, the travel was ok and the weather was good.”

Mr I. Hertfordshire – Morillon, Le Refuge de l’Alpage, Feb

2005

 

“I just wanted to thank you for your efficient and helpful organisation of our recent holiday to Morillon. It was a great success and very suitable for our young family for the children’s first experience of skiing. I look forward to booking with you next year!”

Mr P. Kent – Morillon, Le Buet, January 2005

 

Megève

 

Just a quick note to say thank you for your assistance in booking Hotel Rochebrune recently in Megeve. We had a really great week skiing, fantastic snow and sunshine and the hotel was very nice. Excellent food every night, with a four course meal and superbly located for the ski lifts, ski hire etc. A ten minute walk into town but the exercise was good for us although it was freezing at night. Thanks again, would recommend.”    

Ms M, Surrey – Hotel Royal Rochebrune, Megeve, 11th March 2006

 

“I would just like to take this opportunity to extend my sincere thanks to you for coming to the rescue regarding what could have been a disaster for my 40th in January. As far as I understand Xavier pulled out all of the stops for my husband and came up with a perfect solution to our problem. I cannot thank you guys enough and please note that we really, really appreciate it. Be sure we will be singing your praises to everyone we know, you certainly excel in the customer service department and you dealt with our issue on a very professional basis”

Mrs. E – Glasgow – Megeve 31st December 2005

 

“We have just returned from our holiday at the Royal Rochebrune Hotel in Megeve organised through you. We had a very good time and enjoyed ourselves immensely. Thank you for organising it all”

Mr P. London – Megeve, March 2005

 

Les Saisies

 

“We have recently enjoyed a visit to Les Saisies with your company. We are looking at the possibility of skiing again at Easter”

Mr N. Somerset – Les Saisies, December 2005

 

“Another fantastic holiday – all went brilliantly. Les Saisies was perfect for us, the organisation was faultless and the snow couldn’t be better. N.B we had a diesel car and because of the unseasonally cold weather it froze solid and we had to get a garage to take it away and warm it up! (One night it struck -20C!! Diesel apparently freezes at about -15C, petrol can stand lower temperatures). In hindsight we should have booked a garage for a diesel car, Just a thought; it might be a tip for future travellers. Hope to go again next year, so we will keep in touch. Thank you for all your help and your wonderful attention to detail.”              

Mrs D, Cumbria – Les Saisies, La Village des Lapons, 24th December 2005

 

Les Houches

 

“I just wanted to say thank you so much for the fantastic accommodation and all of your help with sorting out the other bits we needed, it really did make our holiday perfect”

Miss L – Les Hauts de Chavants, Les Houches, 11 February 2006

 

 

“Having just returned from our skiing holiday we would like to thank you for what turned out to be our best one yet. All the arrangements worked out very well, ski equipment, ski passes and ski school that was actually arranged at the apartment’s reception. The apartment was a good size, warm, comfortable and well equipped, and when you told us it was on the piste we didn’t realise it was ON the piste: skiing from the patio door down to the lift and back again to the patio door at the end of the day.”

Mr S, Cardiff – Les Hauts de Chavants, Les Houches, January 2005
