Q&A
What’s the accommodation like? And do I need to bring my own bedding?
The accommodation is clean and functional rather than luxurious, with some rooms having bunk beds. Bedding is supplied (with the exception of tents at Domaine de Segries and on the overnight bivouac at Lou Valagran) but you do need to bring your own towels.
Rooms are either en-suite or have a private bathroom nearby for the exclusive use of your family. You will not have to share a bathroom with another family, with the exception of The Campsite at Boreatton Park, cabins at Lou Valagran and the Tented Village at Domaine de Segries. All tented/cabin accommodation has shower/toilet blocks for the exclusive use of Family Active guests.
Accommodation varies slightly at each centre. Please check the details on each centre page carefully and do not hesitate to call our holiday consultants on 0844 371 2424 if you have any questions. We will be happy to help if you have any additional requirements (such as single room occupancy) and will advise you of any appropriate supplements.
What kind of food can I expect on a PGL holiday?
We’ve worked closely with leading catering organisations to develop a simple, balanced diet, where even the fussiest eater should still feel comfortable – particularly after an exhilarating day of activities. We aim to provide three healthy, high-energy meals per day, with plenty of variety that supports the 5-a-day campaign and reduce added salt, sugar and fat where possible.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner will usually be served in the dining room, although at some centres there may be a barbecue on one evening during the week.
The meal will always include a vegetarian option and we will try to provide a taste of local cuisine whenever possible. At overseas centres a glass of wine will be available for parents to enjoy with their evening meal (additional drinks will also be available to purchase at the bar).
Tea and coffee are available throughout the day in the lounge area and at some centres we provide tea and coffee making facilities in your room.
What time can I check in/out?
Check-in time on a 7 night holiday is usually between 4 – 6pm and guests will usually need to checkout of their rooms between 9 – 11am on the day of departure (times may differ for mini breaks and adventure days depending on centre).
I have a child under six – can I bring them along on a PGL holiday?
Younger children and babies are welcome, but may not be able to take part in many activities. We regret that we are unable to provide a child care service for children not taking part in activities. Baby equipment including cots is available at some centres – please request details at time of booking.
Will there be anyone other than families at the centre whilst I’m there?
Yes, there may be other children or groups on holiday at the centre whilst you are there. These guests are supervised by PGL staff and will have a completely separate activity programme, accommodation and social facilities.
