Read what our previous customers have had to say about Carisma holidays.

We have enjoyed a fantastic holiday at Biscarrosse. The site is very friendly and family orientated which was ideal for us
Mr & Mrs Lowther, Newcastle upon Tyne.

This is our first holiday in a caravan or to France since we were children. We had a great time at Jard Sur Mer and our kids an even better time. Thank you!
Mr & Mrs Everatt, Facilities Executive, Old Stratford.

Our first experience with Carisma. We recently returned to campsite holidays after 15 years of Gites & Cottages in France. We looked through brochures and websites to find a site like La Foret - coastal but small, quiet and un-commercialised. Everything has exceeded our expectations - accommodation, site and great company.
Mr & Mrs Beckett, University Administrator, Lincolnshire.

Excellent! Brem Sur Mer was fantastic and the weather was brilliant. Caroline and Mark our Couriers were stars. Our youngest daughter couldn't wait to go to the kids club each day - the activities were interesting and exciting and they were brilliant with the children - superb. Thank you!
Mr & Mrs Hoyland, Headteacher, Somerset.

Our second time at Les Sables with Carisma. This was even better than last year, superb location and very attentive reps. Our thirteen year old son had a superb time, made lots of friends in a safe environment. See you next year!
Mr Speck, Managing Director

The children rated Les Sables as excellent. Obviously, if the children are happy, parents are equally. The access to the beach, which was never busy, made life a lot easier for all the family. We felt that the children were safe on the site and allowed them to go to & from all the amenities without us constantly in tow
Mr & Mrs Turner, Early Years Coordinator, Essex.

The campsite at La Baule was just as the brochure described and we found it the perfect place to relax. Dave, the courier, worked hard and was very helpful and brilliant with the children. They insist on coming back here next year. Sorry Dave!
Mrs Dockerell, Special Care Nurse, Chester

A great holiday.  We enjoyed ourselves very much especially having not done this type of holiday before.  We will definitely come back again with Carisma and probably to La Foret.  Loads to do and great for young children.  We enjoyed the small site.  Sam and Sarah were terrific with the children and always on hand when we needed their help.  A great team.
Mr & Mrs Parker, Dental Surgeon, Skipton

 

Excellent from start to finish.  Booking via telephone was straightforward and well managed, with very helpful operators influential in assisting us in choosing the resort best suiting our needs. The St Hilaire Site was excellent and very toddler friendly and the swimming pool complex is superb, as is the children play area.  Very good children’s entertainment programme with special thanks to the couriers for running a much enjoyed kids club.  Couriers were very helpful and friendly at all times.  
Mrs J Lawrence, Resource Analyst, Leicestershire

 

Super holiday – the kids had so much to do and friends to play with.  When they are happy – we are happy!  Holiday was really made by the superb Kids Club and the very friendly and helpful couriers at Brem – thanks to Cath and Mike.
The Goodes, Parents!, Wiltshire

 

Once again have enjoyed a superb holiday at Les Sables with Carisma.  This is our fourth holiday with the company and hopefully not our last.  Many thanks.
Mr & Mrs Bell, Farmer and Civil Servant, Northants

 

This is our second visit to Jard and we absolutely love it.  The children are relaxed and happy and the campsite has everything we needed.  It is now just a question of whether we return to Jard for a third time or try a different site.
Ms Reeves, Area Manager, Epsom

 

Thank you for one our best ever family holidays. Having stayed at Les Sables d’Olonne twice before, we were looking forward to returning, and were not disappointed.  The new 3 bedroom mobile homes were excellent, however our stay was made even better  by all of the Carisma staff.  We were looked after extremely well, with plenty of entertainment for the children resulting in Jack and I having an extremely relaxing time, so much so that we would like to come back for 3 weeks next year!!
J Westwood

 

We have recently returned from Biscarrosse and had a wonderful holiday.  Many thanks and keep up the good work. Our family had a wonderful time we loved the peaceful nature of the campsite whilst having an excellent range of amenities at our disposal.  The campsite was immaculate and very well run.
Ms D Archibald, Dundee

 

This our third visit to Les Sables, can't wait for next year. The children spent all their time on the new waterslides, a vast improvement to last year. Perfect!
Mr. Sadler, Coventry. Civil servant.

 Another superb holiday with Carisma. We have enjoyed the Brem site once again. The couriers have again been good - we have had the service just right. Another excellent value for money holiday. Thank you.
Mr. T Muskett. Wigan Retired (just)

Excellent site, very enjoyable holiday. Carisma reps very helpful and friendly. There was a very strong sense of safety, relaxation and fun at this site. Carisma reps enforced this positive attitude by undertaking all requests in an obliging manner. We will recommend both company and site at Messanges to friends and family.
Mr. Laidlaw. Edinburgh. Senior Manager (further education)

La Foret campsite is excellent. Would return. Liked the small site and close proximity to the beach. Pool exceded all expectations, great for young children. French staff very pleasant. Would return again to same site.
Mrs Hadden. Mickleover

Biscarrosse is a very nice site with extremely helpful staff- best bit of the location is defInitely the lake; with children aged 9, 7 & 3 such a safe swimming area was wonderful. We also hired a motor boat, very cheap and lots of fun. Anyway, many thanks for a wonderful two weeks!
Mr. Christie. Sales Manager

We've all had a super holiday due to a super site at lard and brilliant weather. It was great to have the choice of a pool and the beach without having to get in the car. The nearby restaurants were also excellent and we can say we have eaten in all of them except two!! The kids loved the site, kids club was a great hit and we felt our children were safe in the hands of Tom and Laura. Many thanks!
The Mollens. Northumberland. Teacher

Having never done this thing before I must admit I left the U.K feeling very nervous. I have had such a fantastic time and would wholeheartedly recommend this to anyone.
Mrs 0 Reeves. Epsom. P.A

Everything was spot on. Corrine made us feel very welcome at Les Conches. She was excellent with the children, always happy and helpful. This all made the holiday relaxing and most enjoyable.
The Cable family. Lincolnshire

This is our fourth visit to La Foret. We have three children and we all love it because the site is ideal for younger children - what will we do as they get older? The two couriers, Lyndsey and Alex, have been excellent - very friendly and hard working.
Mr P Davies, Cross Hands, Carmarthenshire.  Health Care Personnel

Far surpassed our expectations. Great site, fantastic beach and peaceful setting. The Couriers, Alex and Lyndsey, were brilliant; nothing too much trouble and always a cheerful smile. 5 Stars!
The Lees, Wimbledon. Daily Mail Journalist

Fourth time with Carisma, third time at Brem. Excellent weather, superb site with so much to do. We really liked the new caravans. All in all a brilliant holiday: just wished we booked for 3 weeks! The couriers were first class and always very helpful. See you next year!
The Hoyland Family, Minehead. Head Teacher

Once again we have had a superb holiday at Les Sables - this was our second year running (having been used to a fully equipped villa in the past) and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
Our children (aged 12, 8 and 5 had a ball - they made loads of friends and we were quite happy knowing that they were perfectly safe. Special mention must go to Gary, who managed to convince our 5 year old that the Kids’ Club was worth a go. She went off hand in hand with him and went for the rest of the holiday!
We had a really relaxing time - all the staff were great and we felt really relaxed.
Mrs Westwood, Glasgow

We have had an excellent holiday at Les Sables. Carisma has been well organised and have made our first camping experience great. The campsite is lovely... the accommodation and location of the campsite were good. Being guaranteed being next door to our friends has also made a huge difference in our selecting Carisma. Our courier Ellie was friendly and informative at all times.
Mrs Mitchell, Rotherham. Lecturer

The holiday at Jard was everything that we wished for and more. Andy and Tom, the couriers, made the holiday extra special for our daughters and the campsite was very safe for children - we all had a brilliant holiday! 
Mr S Carter, Horfield, Bristol. Support Teacher

After a hectic holiday last year we decided on a quiet, relaxing holiday this year. We particularly enjoyed the cycling, fishing and the beaches around Biscarrosse. Our boys have enjoyed going along to the Children's Club - especially the sporting activities. We would also like to thank Martin our Courier. He is very friendly and helpful and left us to our own devices which we appreciated. We have certainly had a very good holiday and would like to visit this area again in the future.
Mrs Rushton, Burghfield, Civil Servant

We were really pleased with the quality of the campsite and accommodation at Messanges. The couriers, Barry and Tecquin, were excellent: very helpful and brilliant with our son Finn who had a wonderful time with them. Thank you!
Mrs O’Donnell, London. Lecturer
