Huge Savings on Confidence-building PGL Summer Camps

PGL welcomes thousands of unaccompanied children to its summer camps each year, and a new offer saving up to 60% seeks to encourage a new generation of children to try PGL for the first time.

A PGL holiday is a fun and safe way for children to wave goodbye to mum and dad, to try new activities and make new friends. Kids return tired and happy, eager to talk about their achievements and full of confidence.

These ‘First Timer’ holidays are just that: holidays exclusively for children who have not experienced PGL ‘unaccompanied’ before. (Children who have been on a school trip are still eligible for the offer.)

The offer is on seven-night residential holidays on selected dates this summer at adventure centres in Surrey, Sussex, Wiltshire, the Isle of Wight, Devon, Dorset, Herefordshire, Shropshire and Lincolnshire.

Each centre is owned and run year-round by PGL, with trained staff taking care of everything from dawn to dusk – and beyond. Single-sex accommodation, all meals, activities every day, equipment, instruction and supervision are all included in holiday prices.

Examples of discounted First-timer holidays include:

Date                Location                                              Age Group       Was     Now                Saving

4 August          Liddington in Wiltshire                       7-10                 £639    £225.60           60%

11 August        Caythorpe Court in Lincolnshire         10-13               £609    £243.60           60%

All holidays include accommodation, meals, activities, instruction, equipment, evening entertainment and caring supervision. PGL’s special activity holiday insurance must be booked to take advantage of this offer (£37 per child). Quote FIN58X when booking.

New properties on Crete signed by Freelance Holidays

In what is proving to be a bumper year for Mediterranean island villas, two newly-built holiday homes on Crete’s unspoiled south coast have been signed by Freelance Holidays, offering both availability and great value for August and late summer holidays.

Vaso’s House is a spacious first-floor apartment a couple of minutes’ walk from the facilities of Kerames village. It offers two bedrooms to sleep four. There’s no pool, but the beach is just 4.5kms drive, and all rooms have access to the sea-facing balcony for wonderful views.

The traditional village square offers a taverna and café, and the maze of streets include a well-stocked minimarket. The apartment’s styling is modern rustic, and the owner, Vaso, has insisted on the same quality finish as her parents enjoy in their apartment below. Ready for guests from 1 August, when a week’s rental costs £1050, the apartment is available to rent on a per night basis from just £108 in September when a week is only £756.

A few miles along the coast, Alexandro’s House is a newly-renovated ‘cottage’ standing alone on the edge of Agia Paraskevi. Three new bedrooms (with two shower rooms) sleep up to six, and all guests are welcome to use the pools at the two village tavernas which are within three minutes’ walk. Sea views are a feature of this traditionally-built stone house with a modern interior.

Available now, the newly-renovated Alexandro’s House costs £1085 for a week in August, with nights in September £138, making a week at the end of the summer only £966 for six!

Both properties are around two hours’ drive from either Chania or Heraklion airport: car hire is essential but is not included in the price.
