Dear Guests
From 2026 Trudi and Kelvin (The owners of Altogold Ltd) after 57 years offering holidays to you all, are sadly having to retire from offering good value holidays on Camping Manor Farm.
Our love of the region and Switzerland while still there.
In the company’s 57 years of happy times, we have seen so much, the last 10 years the scenery has been gradually changing, losing its true Swiss chocolate box character and value. Swiss have changed from appreciating our support to really a “we don’t need you now”. Over last six – seven years this has become more apparent with obstacles being placed. Having sold on to the campsite Manor Farm as our only option open. We are tired of playing football with floating Swiss goal posts!
We have been very privileged to meet so many lovely people just like yourselves, visit some wonderful parts in Switzerland. We have met and watched so many lovely families come and go to the point of 3rd generations of children coming to stay. Our commitment to helping with charitable offers to so many families less fortunate than us enjoy the time they have. All of which we hope bought happiness and memories that last a lifetime and beyond. As Many of you know our goals were people’s enjoyment and not profits, sadly this may not happen in the future.
Please accept our apologies for not being able to help you continue your lovely experiences.
On the futures side we heavily invested into Spain for holidays now and from 2026 can offer Villa and apartment holidays, in our newly refurbished homes.
Happy to help please ask.
We wish you – All the best and a healthy future with happy dreams coming true.
