To start with, they have two incredible outdoor pools surrounded by beautiful gardens, as well as loads of relaxing seating areas and even a barbecue area - all of which is perfect for relaxing after a day of sports and sightseeing.
You'll also be able to hold self-led training sessions here, as they have 2 natural grass pitches, 1 synthetic grass pitch and 2 synthetic 5-a-side pitches, as well as a warm-up area and changing rooms.
There are also a couple of meeting rooms if you want to run activities like quizzes or talent shows in the evenings.
The restaurant serves up nutritional meals designed to fuel athletes. And all guestrooms boast en-suite bathroom facilities, with students usually in quadruples with bunk beds and accompanying staff in twins (with some singles also available). Plus, of course, there's free WiFi throughout.
Your quote will be put together by an experienced Tour Adviser who’ll be an expert in school sports tours and will know the destination really well too. They’ll work with you to create a tour to suit your group’s needs and meet your tour objectives.
The next step is to get your tour approved and then get students signed up to it. Our ‘Trip Launch Pack’ will help you with this step. Here you’ll find loads of resources (all free to download) designed to make your life easier at this crucial point in the planning process.
Once you’ve booked, your dedicated Itinerary Coordinator will start working on the finer details. They’ll make sure your itinerary makes the most of your time and they’ll take on most of the admin tasks for your tour (making the whole process a lot less stressful for you).
While you’re out on tour, we’ll be at the end of the phone 24 hours a day to provide support should you need it. We’ll also send you a final info pack before you go and you’ll be able to access all your tour documents via the free Vamoos app.
When you return from your sports tour, we’ll ask you to complete a detailed feedback survey, which helps us continue to improve the service we offer. And we can start planning your next tour too, so you can give parents plenty of time to pay for it (and so it’s less stressful for you).
