Single Parent Family Holiday Reviews

"Me and my 10 year old son, had a lovely holiday. Very well organised, host was really helpful. Only time we were alone was in the room. My second holiday, I'm looking at booking a third holiday. Meet some really nice ladies from the first holiday. Great way of meeting other single parents. children to meet other children."

"Another fantastic holiday with SPOH! Such a lovely hotel - a beautiful setting with two large pools and plenty of sun loungers as well as a gorgeous sandy beach just in front. We loved watching the stunning sunsets and enjoyed a camel ride too. The trip to the Souk and Medina were both a great experience and we felt very safe with a local guide as well as the host. As always, such a lovely group of adults and children and a very helpful and friendly host. Already looking forward to my next SPOH holiday!"

"This is the 3rd holiday James (12yrs) and I have been on with SPOH and we have loved every one. The quality of the hotels is superb and Sandra and the team are an absolute pleasure to be with, they really go out of their way to make sure everyone has a fantastic holiday, children and parents alike."

"We have been with other single parent holiday companies before but you were by far head and shoulder above the rest. Superb quality hotels, rep was fun. We really enjoyed our time in Morocco. I wish I found you years ago!"

"Had an amazing holiday. All the children got on wonderfully well, and the parents really jelled. A wonderful holiday in every aspect."

"My son said this is the best holiday he’s ever been on. I enjoyed the trips and met some really wonderful people, I would definitely book with SPOH again."

"Had a fabulous time in Morocco, the hotel was very comfortable, food excellent, staff were very friendly and helpful. We did a mixture of pool and sea and beach. Plenty of activities for the teenagers including table tennis, water and beach volley ball and my son used the football pitch. We did 3 trips on offer, the camel ride, Agadir and the boat trip, all were good fun. I met the other parents at the airport and dined with them every night, 9 adults and 10 kids and we all got on really well together. Esther and Abdelaziz were wonderful hosts. Abdelaziz was available every day and accompanied us on all the trips, he also took us on a walk along the promenade one evening. Thanks SPOH, another fabulous experience."

"This was my first holiday on my own with my son and I was a little apprehensive beforehand. However, the SPOH group really blew me away. My son had an amazing time, the group stayed really close and supportive of each other and it felt from day 1 that I was going away with close friends. We both loved it. "

"Our 2nd trip to Monte and we had a really brilliant time! Emilie was a superb host, very involved and always ready to help out. The hotel remembered us and went out of their way to make us feel so welcomed. Facilities very much improved and we had a lovely group to hang out with. Kids already want to come back next year! "

"First holiday as a single parent with my 7 year old. Felt held, supported and safe surrounded by a network of new friends and our wonderful tour guide Emilie who was great with the kids. Gorgeous hotel and location. I feel very rested and rejuvenated. My daughter and I made friends for life. Definitely recommend SPOH."

"As a mother of two young boys aged 4 and 8 and recently widowed, I was fretting about them missing out on a summer holiday simply because I was too scared to go abroad on my own. Then I discovered this company and cannot recommend it enough. The holiday exceeded all my expectations in terms of customer service, the rep whilst we were there, the organised activities and of course the company! I have come away feeling so much stronger as a newly single mum as well as having made amazing friends for life! Can’t wait for my SPOH trip next year!"

"What a fun time we both had! We were apprehensive at first but met some amazing people, in a truly beautiful location. A really good mix of activities for adults and children, with my son being able to go off independently with the other kids and make the most of his holiday. I would recommend this holiday and destinations to anyone. We will definitely book again."

"We had a fantastic time in Montenegro. It exceeded all expectations. We met some inspiring people, went on some amazing trips (including seeing dolphins!), and have made friends for life.
We will be booking next year."

"I had a really wonderful holiday in Montenegro with my 6 year old! It was our first SPOH holiday and we both thoroughly enjoyed it. The hotel had beautiful scenery of mountains and beach overlooking the breathtaking Bay of Kotor. It was lovely to meet other families and have the group to spend time with. Jane was a great host! Can’t wait to do another trip!"

"This was our first SPOH and we had a fab time in Montenegro. The hotel was clean and the staff worked really hard. The location is just stunning, views are breath taking. I liked there were loads of sunbeds and so easy to go from the pool to beach. It felt very safe and nice size for the kids. The boat to the old town was nice and good to get out to see some of the area.
Sandra was friendly and helpful which took so much stress away so could relax and just enjoy the holiday. "

"This was my first Single Patents on Holiday vacation as well as first holiday going solo without partner. I was stressed and overwhelmed all the way until we arrived but soon was happy to realize that I had made the best decision I could make for myself and my daughter. Once we got there, I didn’t have to do any thinking. No, what’s for dinner, no what shall we do to be entertained. Our rep, Sandra was so friendly and on the case with all arrangements. Other parents were lovely. For the first time in months, I slept properly and was able to unwind enough to actually read a book. I could only do this as I was comfortable that my 11 year old was having the time of her life and didn’t need me as entertainment. Thoroughly recommend Single Parents on Holiday to anyone who is considering the daunting prospect of holidaying as a single parent. "

"We had a great holiday. I laughed every day. The other mums were great fun and children mixed well and enjoyed their independence taking themselves off to eat, swim, have fun. Holiday made easy as everything was organised for us. Sandra was a great host and made us feel well looked after. We were sad to leave everyone. "

"We all had an excellent time and made lots of new friends. Tracey was a great host and very helpful. "

"What a great holiday! This was my first holiday with the kids as a single parent and I'm really happy that I chose SPOH for it. Both my kids made friends, had a great time, and didn't feel like the odd ones out for only having one parent there. The hotel and location were excellent, it was a really nice group of single parent families, and Sandra was just brilliant. Looking forward to further SPOH holidays in the future!"

"This was my first experience of booking a single parent holiday and I was initially apprehensive. This soon melted away upon arrival. Being able to mix with a group of like minded adults all in the same position made this holiday. The children formed friends quickly and found their own entertainment. I was actually able to relax and not worry, everyone chipped in keeping an eye on the kids. We all formed a great bond as parents and ended up spending a considerable amount of time together. As a single dad this was a revelation and made my holiday. I met some wonderful people, made friends whom I will stay in contact with and my son had one of his best ever holidays.
I cannot recommend Single Parents on Holiday highly enough. If anyone is reading this because they too are feeling apprehensive about booking, please just book, you will not be disappointed."

"This holiday to Montenegro was fabulous on many levels. A group of like minded single parents, caring and fun individuals that made the week so special. Some "me time", some time to relax with adults, some sightseeing time, all of those in a magnificent setting. I could not ask for more! And last but not least, my son had the week of his life, not seeing me 😉 and making new friends. Which ensured my holiday was a success. A special Thanks to our host, Sandra, who is an amazing lady. She ensured the week went smoothly for all. "

"We had a fantastic time in Montenegro. My son played happily in the pool with the other kids, while I got to relax on a sun lounger chatting to the other parents or reading a book. I came back feeling well rested and relaxed, which can't be said for every family holiday we go on! "

"This was my first single parent holiday. And it was nice to be together in Montenegro, even if my son (5) and I couldn't integrate so much due to the age difference with the older children and teenagers. But it was still a good feeling to be with other single parent families.
The boat trip with our group to the blue grotto was brilliant. Swimming there in the morning before the other tourist boats arrived was a special experience. Sandra helped me book a bus tour of Montenegro which I did independently of the group, and was able to see so much of this beautiful and impressive country.
The hotel is very nice. I would go there again. The water is crystal clear and the scenery is impressive. With a small boat, which runs almost every hour, you can go directly from the hotel to Heceg Novi (10 minutes). Our room was top notch. I booked sea view and was given a room on the top floor with fantastic views. The food in the restaurant was very good. And we had a nice view. My son was in the kids' club on the last morning and liked what was on offer and the staff were very friendly. Sandra as a host was great. She took care of everything and everyone. She is personal and professional with a lot of passion."

"Montenegro is a beautiful country, Iberostar is a great hotel, I could not fault the attentiveness of the team and the views are stunning. The entertainment team here are brilliant, there were lots of activities throughout the day and the enthusiasm is contagious. The aqua aerobics was a big hit!
Sandra is a great host, very welcoming, she organised various trips/days out and she brought the group together whilst you still had the option to dip in and out if you wish. We couldn't have asked for a friendlier group, a great time was had by both adults and children. I highly recommend it. Thank you for a fantastic holiday!"

"We had the most amazing time. Love the fact you can dip in and dip out of the activities and timings so you have the freedom to make your holiday your own whilst having the comfort of being looked after by a host (thank you Sandra - you are fabulous!). We've made friends for life and my daughter says it was the best holiday we've EVER been on (not that I saw her that much as she was having so much fun with the other kids!!). Will 100% be booking again next year!!"

"Everything was just perfect! "

"This was my first holiday on my own with my son and I was a little apprehensive beforehand. However, the SPOH group really blew me away. My son had an amazing time, the group stayed really close and supportive of each other and it felt from day 1 that I was going away with close friends. We both loved it. "

"My son and I loved our holiday! It was the first time we had been on a holiday with other family groups like this and it made such a difference. Over the first couple of days my son gradually settled in with the other kids and after that a group of them around the same age spent much of the rest of the holiday together, playing in the pools and water park, etc, leaving the parents free to relax, read and chat with kindred spirits."

"First holiday as a single parent with my 7 year old. Felt held, supported and safe surrounded by a network of new friends and our wonderful tour guide Emilie who was great with the kids. Gorgeous hotel and location. I feel very rested and rejuvenated. My daughter and I made friends for life. Definitely recommend SPOH."

"This was my first SPOH trip with my 14 year old son and I can’t recommend enough! We both had a fabulous holiday, the host was amazing and the other parents lovely!"

"SPOH's approach to single parent holidays gave us an amazing experience. We both had a blast, met great people, shared adventures & built memories. Croatia was stunning, the night time speedboat was a definite high! From a nervous Mum, asking myself shall I book, to looking forward to next year!"

"This was our first holiday with Single Parent Family Holidays and it exceeded our expectations. My 8 year old son made firm friends with the other children on the trip, I got to bond with the other parents and all this in luxury and fantastic weather. We will definitely do this again. "

"Rory and I both love the SPOH formula and I have nothing but the highest of praise for the holidays they offer. We can't wait for our next SPOH trip! "

"Being a new single parent, the thought of going on holiday with just my son was daunting. This was our first holiday with SPoH, and having a group of people in a similar position was great - people to talk to, kids to play with. The hotel and resort were excellent, and plenty of trips were available if you wanted them. Just a shame that the week went so quickly!! 🙂 I cannot recommend SPoH highly enough and we'll definitely be looking to use them again! ""

"We thoroughly enjoyed our first holiday with SPOH. My children made friends quickly and it was lovely to have other parents to chat to. The hotel, food + beach were great too. Jane was a friendly and helpful host. Thank-you for a lovely holiday!"

"Millie & I's first experience of a Single Parents Holiday and we were suitably impressed. Hotel was great and the clientele both on our trip and at the hotel were nice. Would have no problem recommending."

"This was my first SPOH trip with my 14 year old son and I can’t recommend enough! We both had a fabulous holiday, the host was amazing and the other parents lovely! "

"We had a fantastic time in Turkey. The hotel was excellent, great food, pools, brilliant entertainment. This is our 3rd SPOH holiday and we can’t wait for the next one. We met some amazing people and all the children got on so well and had so much fun."

"The Hilton Dalaman holiday exceeded our expectations. The accommodation was excellent, and there was a good range of food available at all meals, and in the restaurants on site. The staff were friendly and helpful. There was lots for the children to do, and the waterslides were really popular. The night-time entertainment was particularly impressive with shows and themed evenings. The beach bar sundown sessions were so lovely. Our host Jane was fantastic in every way, she met us when we arrived, helped us get tables to sit together for meals, and was on hand if we had any queries or problems. I would not hesitate to recommend this holiday to other parents."

"100% a life changing holiday. Had the best experience and the hotel was 10/10!"

"The holiday was very hot and it was very good. The hotel was lovely and very big. I went on a lot of water slides and I would recommend going on the waterslides, they were too much fun. I met lots of new, and very good friends and we all had lots of fun together. We really liked the shows at night!
5* - would recommend. "

"This resort is fantastic with something for all age groups. Even though we were there for a week, we never explored the whole resort. The reps provided a great balance between organised events and us looking after ourselves. They were always there if you had any questions and allowed us to tailor the week to our needs. The group dinners provided us with the opportunity to meet everyone on the trip and for the children to form friendships. There was no pressure to attend any trips but they were available if people wanted them. "

"My recent holiday to Dalaman, Turkey was fantastic. The Hilton was everything I hoped it would be. The staff were so friendly and accommodating, the food was excellent and the number of pools, slides, activities on offer was truly impressive. I was lucky to be with a fantastic group of friendly adults and children and have made wonderful memories, which I will cherish forever. Thank you so much to the hosts Andrea and Sandra for their support and hospitality throughout the trip. I would highly recommend anyone looking to book this holiday in the future, you will not regret it!"

"Amazing hotel, lovely group of people, best of all was the kids club, lots of activities for the little ones."

"We thoroughly enjoyed our first holiday with SPOH. My children made friends quickly and it was lovely to have other parents to chat to. The hotel, food + beach were great too. Jane was a friendly and helpful host. Thank-you for a lovely holiday!"

"Lovely holiday, me and son really enjoyed it. It was our first time on a SPH, but everyone lovely and friendly. Felt like our holiday family. Definitely go on another SPH."

"We had s great time in Fuerteventura! The group was lovely; relaxed and fun. The hotel staff were very friendly and engaged very well with the adults and children. There was lots on offer and we loved the beach and pool. It was also a real treat to be all inclusive! "

"This was my first trip with SPOH and I wasn't sure what to expect. It was a great opportunity to meet some lovely parents and their fantastic kids. The hotel was in a good location and I managed to have the relaxing break I needed. I will go on a SPOH again."

"Our first holiday with the SPOH group - just brilliant - the friendliness, support and togetherness and general banter and fun was priceless. "

"Thank you for such an enjoyable holiday. We felt the whole experience was a positive one. The holiday would not have been as pleasant and relaxing without your input."

"This was my first time on a single parent holiday, so it was with some trepidation that I approached the holiday. I needn’t have worried. Within 2 hours of arriving my daughter had bonded with the other children. She had a wonderful time, which meant I could then relax and enjoy myself. It was a great group of people and we all got on well. Sometimes we would do things together, at other times people would do their own thing. The rep was superb and did a great job ensuring everyone was having a good time. We also hired bicycles and had a parents v kids football match (a very diplomatic draw ). I would definitely recommend the holiday."

"Our holiday on Fuerteventura was really great because of how un commercialised it is as an island and because of the fabulous beaches. It was a little hideaway that we came to love. The group was such fun and our guide became a part of our fun."

"The hotel was in an excellent location, and provided consistently good food and quality facilities. The range of inclusive snacks and drinks was excellent; and Sandra’s organisation and attentiveness was, as always, first rate."

"Once again we have all enjoyed a superb holiday with SPOH (our 4th) – Sandra is the perfect host and makes everyone feel welcome and included – takes the strain (organisation wise) off the single parents and is great company. Fantastic hotel and location with a range of activities to suit all – highly recommended."

"Brilliantly organised holiday – great hotel, lovely location and great people. All inclusive was an added bonus. Was lovely to be able to enjoy adult company whenever you wanted especially evenings and the kids all enjoyed having the built in friends to play with. All in all a really relaxing holiday. Would definitely recommend."

"The February holiday in Fügen was our 4th trip with SPOH and probably the best so far. The hotel was very comfortable with superb facilities, staff were extremely friendly and accommodating, and the food good. Sandra and Ian, of course, were excellent hosts. I couldn't have hand picked a better selection of guests; the whole group got on really well, nobody was left out and the children all mucked in as one happy family. The only negative is the bus ride to the main ski area, but the varied pistes and beautiful scenery is well worth the wait."

"Fantastic people, host (thank you, Daniela), great salad bar, good wines and excellent accommodation. Snow a little slushy towards the end of the week but the people made the holiday.
Another great thing about SPOH holidays, was having childcare support every night to enable parents to relax and share a grown up dinner together. This is the first holiday I have felt Theo and I acted more like a 'normal' family, and less like a strange couple. We both had real fun with our peers which helped make the holiday. Thank you!"

"Annie’s 1st ski holiday (and our 1st with SPOH) was out of this world! Any reservations I had about taking my 4 year old were gone within the 1st 24 hours. Nothing was too much trouble, the holiday was everything I hoped it would be. Delicious food, great company, fun skiing, life-long memories! Roll on 2016"

"Thank you SPOH for another good holiday. Sandra, Daniela and Jacob are naturally wonderful hosts that make sure everybody is happy. I cannot praise them high enough. The skiing wasn’t what was expected for Easter, only because of the unusual weather for this time of year, it snowed a lot, but we did end up with glorious sunshine at the end of the week. Everything is so well organised that the only hassle you get is trying to wake up the kids!"

"Fantastic holiday. Sandra, Danielle and Jacob were great hosts. Can’t wait to go again next year. Ella has been promoting you guys to all her friends who are in single parent families."

"We had the most amazing experience in Zillertal, and as first-time skiiers we were well looked after. The hotel and staff were definitely 4-star (at least)! Would recommend to everyone."

"This was the first time I’d been away on an organised trip with my 6 year-old. We had a fantastic time and I can now see the advantages of someone else doing all the organising! It was a great mix of skiing during the day but enough time to relax and enjoy the facilities in the afternoons and evenings. Sandra and Daniela were fabulous hosts and couldn’t have been more helpful throughout the trip. Miriam looked after the little ones in the evenings and she was a very caring and patient childminder. Everyone was really friendly and we felt at home in the group straight away. Would I do another holiday? Can’t wait!"

"A massive thank you to Sandra and Daniela for another enjoyable ski holiday with SPOH. An overall great value for money holiday that was stress free! We shall see you again soon."

"A big thank you to Sandra and Daniela for organising such an excellent holiday and making sure everything went smoothly. We all had a fantastic week, both on and off the slopes and the girls now want to go skiing every year. Hope to see you again soon!"

"Great people, wonderful locations, good food… happy children."

"What an amazing week! The lovely hotel, friendly staff (from SPOH) in the hotel and in the resort generally), and amazing fellow holidaymakers more than made up for the slightly limited ski area (am used to Trois Vallées or Espace Killy). Pistes not crowded, v well maintained, and on-piste facilities top notch. "

"If you are a single parent who enjoys skiing, this is the holiday for you. Having been 6 years running it has never failed to meet my expectations and more. The accommodation is always great and the resorts are carefully selected. However the best part is getting together a group of like minded people with a common bond and the energy is always great."

"Such a fantastic holiday - wonderful group of people, comfortable hotel with great facilities for kids of all ages and super hosts. My son said he wished we could have stayed on this holiday forever, doing the same thing every day. He has never said that about a holiday before! "

"Fantastic, total hands-off holiday. Kids were happy with other kids. We parents enjoyed our grown up conversations (mostly) at meal times. Skiing was great, although the Glacier was dangerously icy at the time of the year, we went. But where would you be able to ski at this time of the year, anyway. Both me and my 10 yr old daughter loved it, everyone was warm and lovely and put us at ease, even though it was our first time with the group. We both made friends that we can't wait to see and meet again."

"After so long stuck at home due to Covid, the Hintertux ski week was just the tonic we needed. We've been on several SPOH holidays and the organisation was, as ever, spot on and the hosts Sandra & Ian were never far away should any issues arise. My daughter (12) made the most of the excellent hotel facilities (pool / games room) with her new pals."

"This was a great holiday with friendly hosts and other guests. The skiing was challenging, but we hope to return next year to take on the glacier. This is the way to start the ski season. "

"We enjoyed our stay at the Alpenbad Hohenhaus. The staff are efficient, friendly and go out of their way to be kind and helpful. They are also very patient and good with children. Hintertux is a glorious place and my children learn to ski there but the slopes can be icy in October so it is maybe not the best place for beginners."

"This holiday is perfect for single parents. My son met children his own age and declared it the best holiday we went on which I agree with. I met the most amazing people too. I felt like I had also had a break and it felt normal to be with people whose family set up was the same. I did not expect it to be so amazing in terms of the feeling relaxed, full of fun and laughter."

"This was our first SPOH holiday and my son and I loved it so much. Having other adults with similar set ups made me not feel like the odd one at the pool. My son and I could both dip in and out of the group environment, so still had plenty of time together but also the company of others when we wanted it.
Croatia was brilliant. Yes the hotel isn't 5 stars but it was ideal. It was big enough but not too big, so it felt safe enough to allow my son the freedom he wanted. The buffet breakfast and dinner was ideal. The location was excellent as it is near the beach with lots of things to do and a short tourist train ride into the lovely Porec.
There were lots of excursions, which we really enjoyed (water park, speed boat, kayaking etc) but you didn't have to take part if you didn't want to.
I would highly recommend this holiday."

"SPOH approach to single parent holidays gave us an amazing experience. We both had a blast, met great people, shared adventures & built memories. Croatia was stunning, the nightime speedboat was a definite high! From a nervous Mum, asking myself shall I book, to looking forward to next year!"

"This was our second holiday with SPOH, we loved Cyprus last year, and Croatia was as good, if not better. The whole SPOH group got on really well together, there were other children the same age as my son and daughter who they could play with during the day, and in the evening. This meant I could relax and chat to the other parents, so it also felt like a holiday for me. I particularly loved how safe Croatia felt, we could wonder freely around the peninsular, down to the beach and to the local supermarket, and there was free WiFi across the whole area. The swimming pools (there are 2), where not huge, but never felt over crowded and there was never a problem getting a sun lounger, no matter what time of day. We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday and would definitely recommend this holiday to others, particularly with pre-teen kids. "

"Ian, our host was amazing. He is very well organised and does his research. We had a small issue on our arrival day which Ian dealt with speedily. The speedboat trip from Porec is a must; the kids will love it. The inflatables are also good. We ate at the cafe bar by the pool and the food and drinks were good. Take cash with you on this holiday as it’s the preferred method of payment in most places. The trip to Rovinj is lovely although we would have preferred a day there rather than 2 hours. It’s a lovely place to visit and has some very pretty cafes and bars. Good place to shop if you have time. We were very lucky to see dolphins on a taxi speedboat ride. "

"Travelling with SPOH made it so much easier for me to relax on our holiday. Our host did all the trip organisation and was always happy to provide any help and support needed to make our stay enjoyable. Having the company of the group was really lovely for me and for my daughters. It was so nice to have a ready-made group of friends to spend time with or even just to have some familiar faces around as we all went about our day. I thought it might feel stifling to be part of the group, but it was the perfect balance of companionship and freedom to do as we pleased. "

"Being a new single parent, the thought of going on holiday with just my son was daunting. This was our first holiday with SPoH, and having a group of people in a similar position was great - people to talk to, kids to play with. The hotel and resort were excellent, and plenty of trips were available if you wanted them. Just a shame that the week went so quickly!! 🙂 I cannot recommend SPoH highly enough and we'll definitely be looking to use them again! "

"Istria is a lovely location, very scenic and picturesque with clean, crystal clear waters. The two pools were good and there was plenty to do around the hotel complex - inflatables, beach volleyball, pedaloes, snorkelling, water skiing and boat trips for example. The weather was glorious and the food suited all tastes. "

"We had a fantastic holiday as we met some amazing people and did lots of fun things with them in a beautiful country.
Being a single parent, meeting others in the same situation is such a lovely thing to do. Going in such a large group does have many beneifits as you will always meet someone you can connect with and my child made lots of friends which was great to see.
Seeing him happy made me very happy. I am exhausted but at the same time it was so worth it.
Thank you SPOH x"

"Lovely holiday and resort. Nearby town of Poreč is very nice. Enjoyed the trip there and particularly the boat excursion to Rovinj. Great to meet some other single parent families."

"My son (11) and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves in Croatia. The hotel pool was just great and there were so many fun things to do around the hotel area . Its a perfect place to be if you like water activities. Our favourite trip was to the waterpark, 5 minutes in a taxi from the hotel. We would've happily stayed another week! The SPOH group all got on really well too, kids and adults alike. Lots of new friendships have been made."

"First time with SPOH with my 15 year old son. We went to Croatia and it was excellent - destination was beautiful and the hotel was on a private complex so it felt really safe for the children. There were great activities and a great bunch of children my son's age who all got on really well. It was lovely to have the other parents to hang out with at breakfast, dinner and during the activities. Would highly recommend."

"Yet another wonderful holiday with SPOH! Alice and I both had such a fantastic time with the other parents and children - plenty of fun and laughter, such a fabulous group of people. Thomas was a great host and the boat trip to see the dolphins, visit to the local town and day at the aqua park were great. If you are thinking of booking a holiday with SPOH, don't hesitate, you are guaranteed a great time!"

"Croatia is a stunning location; very green and picturesque. The coastline is quite rocky but beautiful terraces have been created with natural stone for you to sunbathe, snorkel or just swim from. The water is very clear and blue, making it very easy to see the fish. There is lots to do at the resort…..you can venture into Porec on the mini train or visit Rovinj via the fjords in a taxi or by boat.
We visited Porec at night, ate in an amazing restaurant, slightly out of town (suitable for all ages) and returned to the hotel by water taxi - wow! What an experience …very 007!
Our host Tomas was most charming and really great at organizing everything. We met some great people and made fabulous memories. "

"The hotel is located on a resort but you feel like it is the only hotel. There is a lovely harbour as you walk down from the hotel and this leads to a small forest and the waters edge. A must for some chill time, swimming in the beautiful sea or a lazy day on a hammock under a tree with a sea view. There is music in the hotel at night, which is nice and relaxing. Although it woke up on the Friday evening when Elvis appeared. I think Elvis was ready to leave the building after he had us doing the Choo Choo train to Viva Las Vegas!
The activities offered and arranged were outstanding. We had a great day at the water park – suitable for all ages.
Dolphin watching was made extra special with the excitement of the little ones aged 5 – 10. A great boat trip and snorkelling, although the children seemed to be enjoying the warm sea and jumping off the boat. We had the wonderful Thomas as our host and he was always close at hand and available to us all. He arranged at our request a meal out, which took us to a beach, which felt exclusive to the group. The children of all ages wandered, played and there was much laughter. The highlight of the night and my trip was the water taxi home in the dark. An experience definitely not to be missed."

"My 12 year old son said that it was the best holiday he had ever been on, and he's very hard to please, so for him to say that is really something special. We all had a blast. The kids had a ball playing with the other kids in the pool during the day, and in the hotel after dinner, and we all enjoyed going on the various activities and excursions. The parents had time to relax and chat and have a beer or read a book, while the kids were busy having fun with the other kids. We were all great friends by the end of the week. Lovely location, excellent hotel, and everything taken care of effortlessly by Sandra. There was nothing that I would change or could improve. Thanks for a brilliant holiday!"

"Fantastic holiday with plenty of activities to keep us busy, plus ready made friends for the kids, would definitely recommend! Plus Sandra was an AWESOME host!"

"Jamie and I had a fab week in Istria - would definitely recommend Istria as a great way to get a balance between rest and activities. Thank you SPoH x"

"We loved this holiday to Croatia. The girls made new friends and were happy playing and socialising throughout the week, which meant the adults could talk and relax. The mix of time for hotel pool and organised optional activities was just right, and catered for all. Sandra balanced her time as hostess, organiser, and socialite brilliantly (even taking one of us clubbing!) and looked after us all brilliantly. We all had a wonderful time and look forward to going on another single parents holiday soon. "

"A really enjoyable holiday. The group were all amazing and friendly and we had such fun. My daughter bring an only child loved having all the other kids around. We had lots of laughter. "

"It was our first summer holiday with SPOH and we had an amazing time! There was a broad range of well organised activities and Sandra and Jacob were exceptional at keeping the group informed with the arrangements. The website provided an accurate description of the holiday and we weren't disappointed. It was great to see the children of a wide age range had such fun together and we have very happy memories of a brilliant holiday 🙂 "

"My daughters and I had a really good time in Croatia, our host Sandra made all the efforts to make everyone comfortable and the holiday a great experience for everyone's taste, offering water sports, boat trips, cultural trips and many other attractions. The Laguna where the hotel is located is a very relaxing and beautiful place, and Istria offers plenty of things to see."

"My daughter (12) and I have travelled a lot and she says that this was her best holiday ever! She met some lovely girls and boys which made the holiday - for both of us! Sandra very thoughtfully arranged everything. I enormously appreciated all the energy and thought Sandra and Jacob put into every day of our trip! A lot of work behind the scenes meant everything happened effortlessly and with a sense of fun, and it started from the minute we met at our holiday destination - our flight was delayed due to severe storms across Europe (followed by a full week of glorious sunshine!!). Jacob ensured that our transfers were on-point despite the very late arrival time and Sandra had done a fantastic job of organising savoury and sweet platters for all as soon as we got to the hotel - very thoughtful and enormously appreciated. We loved the chatter at breakfast and dinner - we met so many wonderful people. There was always a lot to do if one wanted to. We tried water skiing, the water park, para sailing, boat trips and pedalowing. Even the water taxi was fun! We also had lots of days relaxing by the pool, walking, and lingering in the sea. We felt genuine kindness, warmth and care from Sandra and Jacob, for every person on the trip, from the little ones right up to the parents with older children. "

"Tom and I had a fabulous time in Croatia. We both made some new friends and I managed to get some 'me ' time in without worrying about Tom being entertained. Thanks to all at SPOH for being fantastic hosts and putting together such a brilliant holiday experience. "

"I went away with SPOH to Croatia with Lucas (9) and Lottie (5) for my first trip since the separation. Everything was made stress free from the very beginning, enquiries, booking and then arrival and during the stay. Sandra and Jacob at the resort were always on hand to answer questions, offer support and their organisation of trips and activities was second to none. The kids had the most amazing time and due to the set up immediately had friends to talk with and play and there were adults for me to talk to all the time.
I would certainly recommend a trip with SPOH to anyone. "

"I was quite nervous before going to Croatia but Sandra and Jacob were amazing hosts and it really was a stress free holiday and a lot of fun for us both. Beautiful location and a wonderful selection of activities on offer - but most important was the company and we came back having met some really lovely people. The only downside was how fast it all went!"

"Superbly organised holiday. Porec is beautiful – good hotel, shady beaches & the sea was so clear and warm. Sandra, our rep, was outstanding - friendly, helpful & nothing was too much trouble. She did a fantastic job suggesting & organizing activities to suit our group. We met some fantastic people. My 16 year old son made friends quickly so I hardly saw him for the duration of the holiday!
All in all another superb SPOH holiday, a perfect combination of activities & relaxation, I would definitely recommend. I can think of nothing negative except the week flew by and we had to come home!"

"We had a fantastic week in Croatia - the kids made lots of new friends and I had a chance to properly relax! Our host Sandra was friendly and helpful and the week had just the right amount of activities, without feeling too hectic."

"Our best ever holiday, really didn't want to come home this time. Lots to do during the day but didn't feel we had to do all things with younger kids. Bars & clubs in the evening were awesome & we made some really great friends!"

"This was my first holiday as a single parent and it couldn't have been better for both me and my two boys (10 and 13). We all made friends, had company but also space when we needed it. Everything was really well organised, a great hotel and it just made everything easier and more enjoyable. We are now looking at at summer holiday!"

"This was our second SPOH holiday and it was another success. The hotel is brilliant - lovely food and excellent rooms. The variety of ski runs is vast, therefore it caters for all abilities. I would highly recommend this holiday."

"I went on my first single parent holiday last week and me and my daughter absolutely loved it. I dread going away just me and her as it can be hard to meet people and is very full on just the two of us so this was a great option for us. Myself and Florence made friends instantly and had a brilliant week. The hosts were great, nothing was too much trouble. Ski instructors were also great, my daughter usually hates group lessons but she really enjoyed herself with her new fiends and I enjoyed skiing with the other parents. Will definitely be booking another trip with single parents on holiday."

"I travelled to Kitzbuhel/Reith with my two daughters, Meadhbh (8) and Sadhbh (12). On arrival at the Hotel Lisi, we were warmly welcomed by two of our lovely hosts, Sandra & Will, who took our bags and organised a very stress free check in. The hotel was of a very high standard, very comfortable, extremely clean and had lovely spacious rooms.
Everything throughout the week was so well organised. On the day of arrival we were given our pre ordered ski passes and took a private shuttle to collect our ski equipment. Seeing as the hotel was a 5 minute drive from the cable car, a private shuttle transported us daily to and from the slopes. I have to compliment the exceptional instructors at the 'Snowsport Kirchberg' ski school who made our week of skiing such a rewarding and enoyable experience. The children were taken to lunch with their own instructors during their ski lessons which was great and as I was able to relax and enjoy the company of my own ski group during our break. The resort has a lovely mix of runs to accommodate skiing of all levels.
I wasn't sure what to expect when I signed up to this group holiday as it was a first for me. It can be a daunting experience as a single parent taking your kids on holiday but it was an absolute pleasure to be in the company and have the support of such a wonderful group of like minded single parents. The children thoroughly enjoyed making friends and spending time with the other children. A huge emphasis is placed on entertaining children at this hotel. They had freedom and independence to explore all the facilities and play in a very safe environment under the watchful eye of the amazing hotel staff.
I would highly recommend this ski trip and SPOH. A huge thank you to Sandra, Will & Ian for your wonderful organisation, support and company during our trip. You went above and beyond in making sure we all had a wonderful time. We have come away with wonderful memories and we definitely hope to join you all on another trip in the future. "

"My daughter 15, son 13 and myself had a fab time with SPOH. The trip was incredibly well organised and the team went over and above to make sure everyone had a great time. The skiing at the resort was excellent - it provided the perfect mix of options for both beginners and advanced skiers. Most of all however was the fantastic people we meet, there is no doubt we have all made some lasting friendships. "

"A well organised and friendly holiday with a really lovely bunch of parents and children."

"We had a wonderful ski holiday with SPOH. My 8 year old son enjoyed himself so much that he didn't want to leave at the end of it. Well organised and a great bunch of people to hang out with. "

"SPOH takes the worry out of venturing abroad on your own with kids allowing you to relax and enjoy your holiday."

"This was a really great holiday for single parents. There were a few things where 'room for improvement' but overall, I had an amazing time with my 2 boys and met some great people who I am still in contact with."

"My children (10 and 9 yrs old) and I had so much fun, Sandra hosted and made us feel very welcome and comfortable immediately, and organised everything perfectly. Sandra was very empathetic on the first ski day when it was difficult to settle them at Ski School. The hotel staff were so friendly and helpful which was a bonus. We loved the hotel, the children were able to explore the massive play barn and pool, they loved their Independence, and I loved the sauna!
Sandra helped us organize all the necessary COVID testing and took away the stress from the situation.
Would highly recommend this holiday, the skiing was fabulous and the children will always have amazing memories of this particular break!"

"Everything about the holiday went beyond my expectations. The hotel was exceptional in catering for children, from the little extras in the hotel room (bed guards, steps, children's toiletries, children's robes), the games and ice cream machine in reception, to the simply amazing soft play/trampoline/activity centre, complete with childminders. The organisation was great and nothing was to much trouble for Sandra. I was nervous about taking a small child on holiday on my own, but was so glad I did. My son enjoyed himself thoroughly, both skiing and in the hotel facilities, and I got to relax a bit. Above all, it was great sharing the experience with other like minded single parents. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the trip."

"This was my first experience of a single parent holiday. It went above and beyond any expectation. Our group was lovely, we all clicked really well and the children connected also.
Sandra is amazing, so warm, friend and a consummate professional, taking care of all the details needed to make it a smooth enjoyable ski trip. It was a sheer luxury not to have to worry about anything the entire stay, it was the first time in so many years that I could let go and relax as all was perfectly taken care of.
Can't thank you enough, it was a wonderful holiday and we look forward to holiday with you again soon..."

"Thank you Sandra and Ian for a really fabulous holiday. It was lovely to be so well looked after for our week and to have someone to guide us all over the ski area. You made sure everyone could ski with others of similar ability/ages of children and there were plenty of activities for anyone with enough energy left at the end of the day!"

"Great to meet likeminded parents and children in a fun, action-packed holiday. Made a few good friends on another good holiday with SPOH, thank you Sandra."

"I have been on 3 holidays with SPOH. I am a mother of a child with complex special needs and very specific dietary requirements. I look forward to going on trips with the company as nothing is too much trouble and they go over and above what you would expect whatever you need and this means that as a parent I can feel relaxed and comfortable that I will always have a great trip with my son. I can't imagine booking my ski trips with anyone else."

"Yet another great holiday, fantastically well organised by Sandra - once more we had a fabulous time. "

"I have booked the skiing holiday to Reith for my daughter and I. The main reason was to ensure other kids will be around for my daughter to play with after skiing and other adults to discuss with for my sanity. We had a fantastic time both on the slopes and in the evening. It was great for my daughter and I to go skiing with other parents & kids of the same level and to be able to retreat to the bar in the evening knowing my daughter was laughing with the other kids. Sandra's organisation was faultless and effortless for us to follow (I am sure it wasn't effortless for her). We enjoyed it so much that we are going to the next trip at Easter."

"Another brilliant holiday with SPOH. Every year my daughter grows to love these holidays more, and in turn I get a well needed break. The children were all brilliant with each other, especially the older ones being inclusive towards to younger ones; there was a wonderful feeling of 'team' amongst the adults. A skiing holiday isn't always the most relaxing of breaks, especially as a solo parent, but I can-not think of a better way to ski with my daughter. We will be back for another adventure soon. "

"What a wonderful experience. Kids had a ball. Adults relaxed and socialised. The accommodation and activities were amazing. "

"Going on this holiday was the best decision. The activities, food, hotel and people were fantastic. My son had a whale of a time and I managed to properly relax. I'd recommend SPOH to any single parent of an energetic 8 year old!"

"I absolutely loved our SPOH break in Reith with my 7 year old. The hotel was really brilliant – great rooms, great service, amazing and huge buffet, which was all inclusive and we spent a lot of time at the pool.
Lisi World (the kids area) was wonderful as it was a huge play barn where the kids could run around supervised for hours if adults wanted a break or to chat after dinner. There were also other on site activities such as Mountain Drop and a climbing tower and tennis courts.
Daniela hosted wonderfully and we had some great days out which had a range of options so you could pick what suited your child's age and appetite for adventure. Great group of families as always, and we made lovely new friends. If you are on the fence, give it a go – we've been on two SPOH holidays now and loved them both."

"The group were like a family from the moment the holiday began."

"We had an amazing time in Austria. Lots of activities for the kids and the hotel was absolutely fantastic. We both loved it. "

"We enjoyed our holiday in Kitzbühel. Lisi Hotel is beautiful and there were lots of activities to do if you decided to stay in the hotel instead of going out for group activities. Our host Daniela is lovely, she arranged fun activities for the group and was always checking in to make sure that we were okay. It was a wonderful experience."

"Our second SPOH and probably not our last! Lovely hotel, perfect organisation, brilliant hosting, fantastic company. Can’t wait until next year. "

"I have just returned from a weeks holiday in Kos with an amazing group of like minded parents. My daughter had fun and made many new friends who we intend keeping in contact with and whom we’d love to meet up with again on another Single Parents holiday. I laughed for the whole week and met so many lovely people - I can honestly say it was one of the best holidays that I have ever been on.
Our host was available and helpful at all times but also allowed us valuable space to relax. Activities were available if we wanted to take part however we were at no point pressured into taking part."

"I have never been on something like this, but the whole organisation of the people that came really eased the process of getting to know everyone. The kids loved making new friends and playing all day! Accommodation, food and staff were brilliant. We will be going again!"

"Wow, what a week. This far surpassed expectation. I laughed more in one week than I think I have in the last year.
"It was so much fun" - Daisy age 11yrs. "Like, the best ever" - Freya 14yrs
Thank you to Jane and our new friends for creating memories that will last for ever."

"The hotel was beautiful. Jane is a truly amazing and wonderful host. Always friendly and approachable but never pushy or inappropriate. She formed a strong bond with all the children and provided a much needed respite for parents. She liaised with the rather rigid staff of the hotel e.g. spa bookings, and restaurant table bookings manager. Jane went over and above her role, giving parents a rest and generally assisting in a professional way aka Mary Poppins or Nanny McPhee!
"

"My daughter rated this holiday as "the best one ever" and I agree with her! Superb accommodation, excellent organisation and lovely host and fellow travellers. By the end of the week the group felt like one big family, with happy children and relaxed parents all enjoying each other's company and looking out for each other. If you are wondering, as I was, whether this sort of holiday is really your thing, all I can say is "go for it" - I'm glad I did. "

"We had a lovely week in Kos with lots of lovely like minded people. The hotel was just as the pictures showed. The weather was fantastic. "

"Thank you Sandra and team, my kids loved Kos, good food, great host in Tennessee, good pools, weather. Basically a very good holiday!"

"This is the fourth SPOH holiday that my son (13yrs) and I have been on and I would thoroughly recommend it to other single parents. We have some truly wonderful memories which my son and I will always cherish."

"I booked the SPOH with some trepidation having never tried a group holiday before. I need not have worried as it turned out to be the best holiday I have ever been on as a single parent with my boys. All three of us had a superb time and we made new friends, which I hope we will keep for life. I am already looking at the SPOH website for next year."

"Well organised holiday in lovely hotel with great views and large pool that never felt crowded. Food in main restaurant was excellent. Barely saw my children all week as they were having so much fun with other children on the holiday. Climate perfect as there was always a cool sea breeze. Would definitely recommend both Kos and SPOH."

"I cannot recommend SPOH high enough!
The booking process is very smooth and after going on 3 SPOH holidays I know the hotel and support when there will be fantastic! My son and I have made great friends on each trip and Will has had a super time with children his age. Cannot wait to book for 2014!"

"The holiday was very well organised and offered us a stress-free and fun time away."

"We had a wonderful time in Lanzarote with a group of 30+. Lovely people, stunning hotel, fabulous host and by far the best holiday we’ve ever been on. Having not travelled abroad for several years I was a little apprehensive but booking through SPOH gave me the reassurance I needed. I loved how inclusive it felt throughout, and how relaxed it was. We opted to do lots of things as a group, but we also felt comfortable doing our own thing when we wanted to. It was the perfect balance. "

"Very happy with SPOH hotel choice, location, and hosts. My 7 year old had the best time and the holiday was just what we needed. Will definitely book again with SPOH."

"When I first came across SPOH on the net, I instantly scrolled through the UK trips and past the trips abroad!
When I inquired on the phone, I spoke to Andrea who suggested Lanzarote as it would be more suited to young children. But I was qute wary even though this sounded very exciting! A short while after I found myself booking the Lanzarote trip for me and my 1 year old!!
I still can't quite believe I did it! And I am so thrilled I did, because it was the most amazing experience with my little one, we both met some lovely people and have stayed friends. We both enjoyed it so much, we can't wait until our next holiday with SPOH!
My confidence as a person has grown, and Jane was brilliant throughout our stay.
I want to thank you all for this experience that meant a lot to us."

"This was my first holiday alone with my daughter and I booked to go on this group holiday to ensure friends for my daughter to play with and company for myself on an evening.
The hotel was just perfect! Amazing location and facilities and the food was fantastic with so much choice.
Our host was Jane and she was just wonderful! From arriving at the hotel to waving us off she was always around and available to support us all. On a personal level Jane is just a wonderful human being - kind, helpful, supportive, funny and approachable! She actually made the holiday for me and my daughter. "

"We have just returned from an absolutely fantastic holiday in Lanzarote. The hotel was gorgeous, the other families were so nice and our host Jane made us feel very welcome and ensured we were all having a great time. Would definitely recommend and can’t wait to book again for next year!"

"Fabulous holiday to Lanzarote! Lovely people to spend time with, both adults and children alike. If you are tempted to give it a go then just do it, you won't regret it. Single Parents on Holiday host was great, helped all of the adults and kids get to know each other and sorted us all out on the excursions we wanted to do. We had a really great holiday and will be looking to book for a new destination in 2023!"

"Without Single Parents on Holiday I would not have been brave enough to take my girls abroad. Now I have the confidence to do so. SPOH offered an excellent hotel with delicious food. Our host, Jane, was so welcoming and supportive. I would definitely book with SPOH again. "

"My first ever SPOH holiday with two young teenage boys. It was fantastic and gave me the confidence to do it again. The kids loved it. The host Jane was fantastic and couldn’t do enough for you. "

"We had another wonderful SPOH holiday this year. Its just so lovely to have other parents around to keep you sane, and make you laugh as you share stories of bringing up your children (amongst other things!)... and to see the children become friends and play together."

"We enjoyed a fantastic week in the sun at this luxury resort with a fun and friendly group. Was so lovely for Alice to have a group of friends to play with and I really enjoyed the adult company. Would thoroughly recommend SPOH and if you haven’t experienced a holiday with them, book one now as you won’t be disappointed!"

"A great 5 star hotel with a beach very close by. Kids had a ball with kids close in age and I managed to relax but would recommend the 10 day break as 7 days wasn’t quite enough!"

"This was a fantastic holiday with both adults and kids alike forming really great friendships. The hotel is ran so smoothly with very enthusiastic entertainment staff who have a fantastic entertainment timetable without being tacky or over the top. I would definitely recommend this holiday and I would definitely go again!"

"This was our first Single Parents on Holiday and we both had a fantastic time. The hotel was excellent quality and our representative, Andrea, did an amazing job of making sure that everything worked smoothly and everyone could relax and enjoy themselves. There were 9 families, which meant the group was small enough for adults and children to socialise easily and enjoy their holiday together, but without any pressure. Thanks again to Andrea and we are looking forward to the next one!"

"Andrea was amazing she did a fantastic job and pitched to the group the activities with no pressure to join in and kept us well updated of activities in the hotel if we were not out on excursions. You were awesome! Jack my 6 year old wanted to stay for a year and Imogen my 11 year old said "best holiday ever" Thank you for making it so special!"

"My daughters and I had an unforgettable holiday in Lanzarote, with the opportunity to see many unique things like the vulcano and to enjoy the beautiful hotel where we were accomodated. At the restaurant of the hotel the food is delicious and the staff is very helpful: even in cases of allergies or intolerances, like in my case, they are still able to offer you delicious and safe food. Andrea was a perfect host and did all her best to make us happy and enjoying our holiday, at the point that the only issue was that the holiday was over too early!"

"Stan and I had such a great week in Lanzarote, from the warmth of the host (Jane) to the standard of the hotel (amazing!). We couldn't have wished for anything better. Stan made loads of friends and was constantly busy having fun, I didn't have to think about cooking or cleaning for a week (yes!) and could relax with my book by the pool, and then in the evening the group came together for dinner, disco and drinks. I'd recommend it to any single parent, it's so much fun and super friendly. If in doubt just book, you won't regret it! "

"It was great fun and we made lots of new friends. The pool was really fun, loved the slides. Food was yummy, especially the chocolate fountain."

"We had a lovely week away. We meet some great people and had lots of fun."

"The boys quickly made friends at the hotel. It felt secure. The pools were small enough to keep an eye on them although they are reasonable swimmers. Didn’t feel overly crowded although half term. Entertainment in the evenings .... more for the kids though. I generally avoid anyway!"

"Edward and I had a wonderful time on this holiday in Lanzarote – we didn’t want to come home! We were very well looked after by Andrea who was so sweet and friendly and organized everything really efficiently. The people we met were lovely and we enjoyed great times by the pool and in the bar in the evenings. Edward really enjoyed the company of the other children too. We also enjoyed some great excursions, including the National Park with camel ride, fire mountain and crater tour, Rancho Texas, a banana boat ride on the beach and a visit to the local market to buy our souvenirs. The hotel was a great choice of accommodation, comfortable, friendly and a fantastic choice of wonderful food. We do hope to go on another holiday with Single Parents on Holiday soon as we thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Lanzarote. Thank you SPOH for a great time."

"My 12 year old daughter told me this was her best holiday ever. If you have any doubts about booking a single parents holiday (as I did), banish them immediately! A fantastic idea, and a great company to book it through."

"This was our first ‘single parents holiday’ and it exceeded our expectations. The hotel was incredibly clean and the quality and variety of food in the restaurant was outstanding. The aim was for my son to meet and play with similar aged children and for me to have some adult company. Although we were a very small group (just 5 families) these aims were achieved. Our host Andrea provided an impeccable service often going over and above the call of duty. I’m disappointed to see that you are not offering the same holiday next year."

"I asked my daughter how she would describe our holiday in Lanzarote and she said ‘fabulous’. I totally agree. Sandra is a wonderful host and, alongside the super clean and comfortable hotel, the all-inclusive deal with great food and drinks, the lovely swimming pools and, of course, the good company of other families, this proved to be a really great holiday. We loved our camel ride, the trip to Rancho Texas zoo, the beach with pedalos and banana boats, walking along the seafront to the marina, visiting Teguise market and cruising in the glass bottomed boat – all great fun. Many thanks once again."

"Thanks you once again for a fab holiday in Lanzarote. Me and Emily had a lovely time. Great hotel, food and a wonderful host, too! I would recommend this firm to everyone, the company is super in every way. Thank you…."

"This was my first Single Parents on Holiday and we both thoroughly enjoyed it. The quality of the hotel, food and location was excellent (proved by Theo going back several times at each meal!). Theo learnt to scuba dive and loved the camel rides up the volcano. Best of all however was the way Sandra made everyone feel so welcome and like part of a small “family”. The holiday had the best of both worlds, it allowed me to have a special holiday time together with Theo and to also socialize in the evening with other parents and the children. A great holiday that is a “cut above” the rest of the competition in terms of quality and atmosphere. Congratulations Sandra and looking forward to the next one already!"

"This was our third holiday with SPOH and the best! Marie -Rose was amazing and did everything possible to ensure our holiday was perfect. My girls (13 and 10) had an amazing time and said it was the best holiday they had ever had!! I would 100% recommend this holiday.
Thank you so much. We are looking to book again already! "

"A truly magical holiday, thank you. The range of activities are excellent and the overall balance with being able to relax also was perfect. We felt very well looked after by our host and also from resort staff throughout the trip. "

"I am so grateful for this much needed and exceptional holiday.
Being part of a safe, single parent community was such a joy and a relief.
Interesting people, loads of interesting things to do, great food, a cultural experience – we LOVED all the cooking, lovely hostess, a digital and pester power detox too 🙂
PERFECT
Thank you so much, we can't wait until the next one ;-)"

"I had an amazing holiday at Gelindo De Magredi. The photos do not do it justice. Everywhere is green and filled with flowers. There are shady terraces under grapevines. It’s incredibly charming. The kids were able to play ‘free range’ – whilst a kids club is fun it’s not the same as having freedom to run around and explore in a safe outdoors area. The activities were fun and varied - especially the cooking and the farm animals - and the days felt very full. We met lovely people and the SPOH tour helper was so kind, caring and patient- what an extremely lovely woman. We were well organised and able to make adjustments to the itinerary based on the weather which was very smart to optimise the holiday. I was nervous about travelling as a single parent but this is a great holiday and I think all parents would find it meets their needs in terms of facilities, comfort, food, experiences, safety and making happy memories. "

"Our first SPOH trip exceeded expectations! Was a little worried about how myself and 12 year old would get on with the other families but we all hit it off and was wonderful to enjoy some time with other adults without having to worry about the kids being bored. And lovely to see my daughter get stuck in with the activities and make some lovely friends. Farm and food was amazing. Pool was perfect size and kept clean. Claudia our host was wonderful, she couldn't do enough for us even though we had a few extra challenges /requests for her! "

"Great rooms, pool and surrounding area. Walking distance to a wee village if you feel like it. I liked that bikes were available to use. It was nice that the children could hang out – lots of space. "

"We had an amazing time in Magredi and didn't want to leave. Sophie says the Venice trip, swimming pool and playing with all the other children were her favourite things about the holiday. We both had a great time with the other families, lots of laughter, and it was a privilege to meet such wonderful inspirational parents. At last, this was a holiday that I came back from feeling relaxed and not worn out!! "

"My first experience of a single parent holiday and can't recommend it enough. Claudia, our host, was exceptional and made everything run perfectly. Food, entertainment, events, accommodation were all lovely. Family run farm and they all worked so hard making everything run smoothly and ensuring we had a good time."

"We had a very good holiday overall and especially appreciated the variety of activities arranged for the children—horse riding and learning about bees were real highlights. We enjoyed a mix of activities and relaxation, so the balance of pool time, trips and kid-friendly activities worked well for us.
It’s a beautiful part of Italy to visit, with the added bonus of being able to take a day trip to Venice, which we really enjoyed.
All of the staff worked very hard and were friendly throughout our stay. Having a host on hand to interpret was extremely helpful—they played an integral role in ensuring everyone’s needs were met and that things ran smoothly.
I’ve never been on a single parent holiday but would highly recommend to anyone.
Above all it was the families we met that really made the trip extra special. "

"Great holiday, especially for young children. Excellent support with booking process. Would recommend."

"Fantastic holiday with endless activities for the kids. SPOH team provided great service from the first enquiry and Claudia was amazing at ensuring everything went as smoothly as possible during the week at the farm. "

"Such an amazing holiday, many happy memories and new friends made. Highly recommend this holiday to any single parent as it was without a doubt our best holiday as a single parent."

"This really was a wonderful holiday experience for myself and both children. I have not previously travelled abroad with them and was a little unsure of what to expect in terms of a group holiday...am so glad we did it... None of us wanted to leave!
The farm was idyllic. We did the two day trips and all the farm activities, but also had lots of time to relax by the pool.
Although the activities were listed, the little surprise elements along the way made it feel really special. Food was delicious and it was nice how we didn’t always have our meals in the same place, so each evening felt a bit different.
Everyone was friendly. Our host, Claudia, spent so much time accommodating peoples requests and making the holiday run smoothly. I really couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you for a lovely holiday! "

"We had a wonderful holiday which was full of surprising and great adventures. My son enjoyed hours of pool side play with all the other children who were very welcoming. We enjoyed the trips, horse riding and all the activities. Our host Claudia was fantastic! Very grateful for her kindness and organisation skills. And it was lovely meeting all the other mums."

"This was hands down the best holiday I've had with kids. The kids had a ready made group of friends to hang out with and disappeared off most dinner times, leaving us to be able to have adult conversations and a glass of wine. I also loved all the activities, I didn't realise it was possible to pet this many animals in one morning! It's a winning formula for every single parent with young kids!"

"Re-visiting and again feeling like at home there. Peaceful but vibrant and never boring place. One big family atmosphere with smiley staff faces. Easygoing and relaxing. I felt safe there. Kids bonded on day two and were happy together. Activities, horses, swimming.... our day was too short... Evenings were always entertaining for all of us. Dinners with chatting, laughing and drinking prosecco. Carpe diem... None of us could believe this was happening.. I will definitely go back to Magredi next year!"

"We had a wonderful time. Our host was welcoming and attentive, and the place was beautiful. The holiday was a good mix of activity and relaxation. My daughter said it was the 'best week ever'!"

"A wonderful holiday on a farm in Italy with horses and lots of fun activities. "

"This holiday was everything we were looking for and more. I chose this as the farm idea with a pool sounded very appealing to my 7 year old. The activities organised by the hotel appealed to the range of ages of children on the trip. They all seemed to enjoy them. The horse and carriage and tractor rides were a particular highlight. The pool area was lovely. The whole place had a friendly and relaxed atmosphere and the staff were great. On day 2 my daughter said she never wanted to leave and on the last day did ask for reassurance that we would be back. "

"It was so lovely to return to Magredi after a couple of years. As before, Daniela the host welcome us warmly and looked after us throughout the stay. It was wonderful to meet another friendly group of parents and children and there were so many fun activities to enjoy together. The children (of all ages) bonded so well as did the parents and it was very sad to say goodbye. The Italian food provided was fantastic and the accommodation was very comfortable. If you are considering a holiday to Magredi, I would 100% recommend it, you will love every minute."

"Our holiday in Magredi on the farm this summer was memorable. Clara loved discovering the workings of a farm (learning to identify crops, picking fruit, making jam) and being ferried about in a horse-drawn cart. She also rode a horse for the first time - something she will continue back home as she is now hooked ! This was our first holiday with SPOH. We loved it and have already booked our next. "

"Spent the best week of my life in Magredi. This place was just magical and "absolutely perfect" according to my daughter. Having so many beautiful horses around was an unexpected bonus. Riding lessons were fun and well delivered.
Apart from that, additional 2 activity a day were educational and fun.
Kids were also having fun splashing in the pool and having yummy lunches at the pool bar.
We were looked after by Sandra who is an amazing person. Always with a smile and so classy. She always went the extra mile to accommodate our needs and preferences.
The trip to Venice was the cherry in a cake. We cant wait to return there next year. "

"This was a first for my daughter and i going on a single parents holiday, and i must admit we didn't know what to expect, but the moment we arrived at the hotel we met up with some lovely parents and our lovely leader Therese who made us feel so welcome. There were two activities a day which you didn't have to join in if you did not want to but we always went along and they were so informative and great fun. From day one we all bonded so well as a group and the kids sat on one table for dinner and we sat on the other table to enjoy our meals, It was so relaxing and so safe for the kids especially as there was always someone to play with in the pool or just have a chat to, a brilliant way to meet other single parents, and make new friends. We started a group what's app so we could swap photos and hence i have way more photos of my daughter and myself than i have ever had on other hols. Don't hesitate book today. "

"This was the trip of life time. As a newly single mum, i had lost my confidence to travel alone with my girls. This holiday has reawakened my desire to see Europe and give my girls an understanding that the world is exciting and beautiful. Magredi is simply stunning. The backdrop of the mountains is breathtakingly and life on the farm is full of adventure and activities we've never tried. The horse and cart experience was laid back and unrushed. We have had many new experiences... Horse gymnastics, mosaic making and plenty of cooking experiences. The children bonded well, leaving the adults to enjoy some grown up time, with lots of laughter, wine tasting and food. I couldn't have had a better holiday and wish I could do it all again. Huge thanks to Therese who helped make us feel so welcome and organised us so well. Xx"

"This was our first holiday as a single parent family, and I was very nervous as I didn't know what to expect. All I can say is WOW! Myself and my daughter thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience - the activities were well organised and great fun, especially the wine tasting for the grown ups! Daniela, Donatello and Gelindo made our stay so memorable - we will never forget the friends we made and would definitely recommend this holiday and SPOH to anyone. Thank you!"

"Can I thank everyone at Magredi and at Single Parents on Holiday for a truly memorable experience. The Location and Hotel were great but the people we shared the time with were magnificent. The most important thing for me was that my 8 year old daughter enjoyed it and I'm happy to say she said it was the best holiday that she has had.
The Staff at Magredi were wonderful with a special mention for the ever-present Donatello and our host Daniela was great making sure we had everything we needed.
I can only wholeheartedly recommend this trip to single parents with kids between 5 and 10 years old."

"Thank you SPOH for the opportunity to go on holiday and meet like minded individuals and just have a stress free holiday. If anyone is doubting or worried about going I would say don’t think about it, do it. You won’t regret a second of it."

"I booked this holiday at a very last minute and got a bit anxious before leaving as I did not know what to expect ... what can I say? It was such a great surprise: excellent staying, super food, fantastic people to share the holiday with. My child and I had a blast, made nice friends and we are already thinking about booking our next SPOH break :-)"

"My daughter and I had a fabulous Italian experience in this rustic farm for a week.
Relaxing and enjoyable, we would both love to return to live/work on the farm!
Here are the views of my daughter: Amazing, fantastic farm activities & trips with delicious food."

"I would recommend this type of holiday to any single parent, my kids loved the farm and activities, I particularly enjoyed being with other parents in similar situations. The balance of activities and time to chill was just right, out host was amazing and I honestly felt 10 years younger by the end of the week."

"We had the most wonderful week with a great group of adults and children, a very helpful and friendly host, delicious Italian food and fantastic farm activities. Magredi Farm is a real gem set in the beautiful Italian countryside! This was my first holiday as a single parent and it exceeded all my expectations. If you are thinking about booking, I strongly advise it! "

"Danielle, who was our host made sure everything was organised for the children's activities which were wonderful. They made pasta, biscuits, created mosaics, went horse-riding (extra cost), rode on a horse and cart and more. Unfortunately, myself and my daughter missed the trip to Venice because we arrived two days late, but we visited a beautiful lake where the children played in a park and took a little walk to the ice-cream shop. Afterwards, we had time to stop off in an old town for lunch on the way back. The parents all quickly bonded and had a great time together chatting with the occasional glass of wine. "

"I have been reflecting on the wonderful week we just had at Gelindo de Magredi. It was great from start to finish and I feel that we were fortunate having such a great group of people who really gelled. My daughters, 7 and 4, had an absolute ball as did I. We all really enjoyed the wide range of activities that were included with the day trip to Lake Barcis being a particular highlight. Having horse riding lessons on site at a very reasonable price was a real bonus. There was a great mix of organised activities but also down time by the pool as well. Andrea was an excellent coordinator. She was friendly, fun, and went the extra mile to ensure we were having a good time. I highly recommend this holiday in a beautiful part of Italy. "

"This was our third holiday with SPOH and the best! Marie -Rose was amazing and did everything possible to ensure our holiday was perfect. My girls (13 and 10) had an amazing time and said it was the best holiday they had ever had!! I would 100% recommend this holiday.
Thank you so much. We are looking to book again already! "

"A truly magical holiday, thank you. The range of activities are excellent and the overall balance with being able to relax also was perfect. We felt very well looked after by our host and also from resort staff throughout the trip. "

"I am so grateful for this much needed and exceptional holiday.
Being part of a safe, single parent community was such a joy and a relief.
Interesting people, loads of interesting things to do, great food, a cultural experience – we LOVED all the cooking, lovely hostess, a digital and pester power detox too 🙂
PERFECT
Thank you so much, we can't wait until the next one ;-)"

"I had an amazing holiday at Gelindo De Magredi. The photos do not do it justice. Everywhere is green and filled with flowers. There are shady terraces under grapevines. It’s incredibly charming. The kids were able to play ‘free range’ – whilst a kids club is fun it’s not the same as having freedom to run around and explore in a safe outdoors area. The activities were fun and varied - especially the cooking and the farm animals - and the days felt very full. We met lovely people and the SPOH tour helper was so kind, caring and patient- what an extremely lovely woman. We were well organised and able to make adjustments to the itinerary based on the weather which was very smart to optimise the holiday. I was nervous about travelling as a single parent but this is a great holiday and I think all parents would find it meets their needs in terms of facilities, comfort, food, experiences, safety and making happy memories. "

"Our first SPOH trip exceeded expectations! Was a little worried about how myself and 12 year old would get on with the other families but we all hit it off and was wonderful to enjoy some time with other adults without having to worry about the kids being bored. And lovely to see my daughter get stuck in with the activities and make some lovely friends. Farm and food was amazing. Pool was perfect size and kept clean. Claudia our host was wonderful, she couldn't do enough for us even though we had a few extra challenges /requests for her! "

"Great rooms, pool and surrounding area. Walking distance to a wee village if you feel like it. I liked that bikes were available to use. It was nice that the children could hang out – lots of space. "

"We had an amazing time in Magredi and didn't want to leave. Sophie says the Venice trip, swimming pool and playing with all the other children were her favourite things about the holiday. We both had a great time with the other families, lots of laughter, and it was a privilege to meet such wonderful inspirational parents. At last, this was a holiday that I came back from feeling relaxed and not worn out!! "

"My first experience of a single parent holiday and can't recommend it enough. Claudia, our host, was exceptional and made everything run perfectly. Food, entertainment, events, accommodation were all lovely. Family run farm and they all worked so hard making everything run smoothly and ensuring we had a good time."

"We had a very good holiday overall and especially appreciated the variety of activities arranged for the children—horse riding and learning about bees were real highlights. We enjoyed a mix of activities and relaxation, so the balance of pool time, trips and kid-friendly activities worked well for us.
It’s a beautiful part of Italy to visit, with the added bonus of being able to take a day trip to Venice, which we really enjoyed.
All of the staff worked very hard and were friendly throughout our stay. Having a host on hand to interpret was extremely helpful—they played an integral role in ensuring everyone’s needs were met and that things ran smoothly.
I’ve never been on a single parent holiday but would highly recommend to anyone.
Above all it was the families we met that really made the trip extra special. "

"Great holiday, especially for young children. Excellent support with booking process. Would recommend."

"Fantastic holiday with endless activities for the kids. SPOH team provided great service from the first enquiry and Claudia was amazing at ensuring everything went as smoothly as possible during the week at the farm. "

"Such an amazing holiday, many happy memories and new friends made. Highly recommend this holiday to any single parent as it was without a doubt our best holiday as a single parent."

"This really was a wonderful holiday experience for myself and both children. I have not previously travelled abroad with them and was a little unsure of what to expect in terms of a group holiday...am so glad we did it... None of us wanted to leave!
The farm was idyllic. We did the two day trips and all the farm activities, but also had lots of time to relax by the pool.
Although the activities were listed, the little surprise elements along the way made it feel really special. Food was delicious and it was nice how we didn’t always have our meals in the same place, so each evening felt a bit different.
Everyone was friendly. Our host, Claudia, spent so much time accommodating peoples requests and making the holiday run smoothly. I really couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you for a lovely holiday! "

"We had a wonderful holiday which was full of surprising and great adventures. My son enjoyed hours of pool side play with all the other children who were very welcoming. We enjoyed the trips, horse riding and all the activities. Our host Claudia was fantastic! Very grateful for her kindness and organisation skills. And it was lovely meeting all the other mums."

"This was hands down the best holiday I've had with kids. The kids had a ready made group of friends to hang out with and disappeared off most dinner times, leaving us to be able to have adult conversations and a glass of wine. I also loved all the activities, I didn't realise it was possible to pet this many animals in one morning! It's a winning formula for every single parent with young kids!"

"Re-visiting and again feeling like at home there. Peaceful but vibrant and never boring place. One big family atmosphere with smiley staff faces. Easygoing and relaxing. I felt safe there. Kids bonded on day two and were happy together. Activities, horses, swimming.... our day was too short... Evenings were always entertaining for all of us.

"Enjoyed the holiday. Lovely people, friendly staff. My only regret is that I didn't wait till my daughter was older as she was too young for some of the activities.
"

"I had a fabulous holiday in Marrakesh as a single parent of a 7 year old boy. I had no idea what to expect but it turned out to be a wonderful holiday. My son was crying and did not want to leave as he had formed bonds with the other children. Jane was a great host. She was very warm, immediately put me at ease, and was extremely helpful and patient as she navigated a lot of different needs. She was excellent with the younger kids. She brought her 19.5 year old son along, who was a huge hit with all the kids. My 7 year old son loved him! It would be great for future holidays if Will was available to co-host with his mum and do some activities with the kids. I think that would work really well. I look forward to my next holiday with single parent families."

"We had a lovely time on holiday in Marrakesh. The resort was fabulous with lots to do, comfortable rooms and delicious food. The weather at Easter is ideal, nice and sunny without being too hot. We enjoyed getting out and about, seeing the sights of the city of Marrakesh and also exploring further afield to the Berber villages in the Atlas Mountains. Highlights were going camel riding and watching the sun set over the Djemaa el Fna.
We were with a fabulous group of mums and kids and were well looked after by our amazing host Jane, who was always helpful and positive. "

"Great holiday and lovely resort. Jane, our host, was excellent. The tours weren’t all designed for younger kids or with road safety in mind. Souk trip only appropriate for older kids e.g. secondary school age. Overall would recommend if the issues with the trips were sorted. [SPoH: Thank you for your feedback. We have since changed the tour company that supplied the transport for the excursion outside Marrakesh. Trips to the souks in Marrakesh are usually very much enjoyed by even the youngest who love the exotic atmosphere and colourfulness of the markets, but there is some walking involved.]"

"I took my 5 year old daughter on this trip and it was a sensational holiday for us both. The excursion to the souks was a real cultural experience - with snake charmers and handmade items galore. The vibrant colours and vivid designs were truly breathtaking. The local guide meant that we were not hassled too much and I’d recommend checking local prices to avoid being ripped off. I’d also take a buggy/stroller if your child isn’t great at walking longer distances. The weather was absolutely perfect varying between 25 and 29 degrees which meant that the children spent the majority of their time in the swimming pools. The Atlas Mountain excursion is well worth it. Overall an amazing holiday that we didn’t want to end! We managed to find a local camel ride which just topped everything off! You won’t regret going on this holiday."

"I fell in love with Marrakech, it was a wonderful holiday and I met some lovely people on this holiday. It was a well organised trip that I felt safe to explore and enjoy Morocco with my son. "

"Brilliant holiday, my 14 year old son loved it. It’s perfect for them to learn about other cultures and differing way of life. The hotel is lovely and the food amazing and you can eat all day long!"

"This was my second Single Parents On Holiday trip and very different to the first. This is more of a city break with the added benefit of a nice hotel with a pool. It was a great and safe way to see Marrakesh with children in tow. My boys were literally gobsmacked when Karmel lead us out of the Souk into the main square with its colours and snake charmers, dancers, monkeys and street sellers. The mix of old and new takes your breath away."

"My son and I have just returned from a trip to Marrakesh and wanted to let you know what a wonderful time we had. It goes without saying the weather was fantastic; so lovely to leave a cold and wet Britain and travel to warmth and sunshine. The hotel was all inclusive so, as expected, we got the usual bounteous buffet for breakfasts and three course lunches and dinners, but, what I hadn’t anticipated was that the hotel snack bar would continue to provide food and drinks throughout the day without additional charge. “Snacks” ranged from freshly made pizzas, burgers, chips and pancakes and both alcoholic and soft drinks were served. The pizzas and pancakes made my son particularly happy! The hotel also had a wide range of facilities, including crazy golf, tennis, table tennis, boules, indoor and outdoor pools, football and volley ball! Enough to keep us entertained for the whole week even if we didn’t feel inclined to do any of the day trips. That said our guided adventures to the souks, the mountains and a very memorable dromedary ride were colourful and informative. Some of the families got into the real spirit of bartering. The two guides, Mustafa and Kamel, were wonderfully friendly and attentive. They kept an eye on the children, even whilst at the hotel, and joined in in playing crazy golf and table tennis. My son now wants a table tennis set after the tuition they gave him! The guides were also very flexible in changing trips or dates for trips to suit the families. As usual, with a SPoH holiday, I also got the chance to meet and make friends with the other families and we all got on so well we hope to meet on another holiday soon. So thanks again SPoH."

"It's my first time booking a single parent holiday and I was concerned, specially a ski holiday and being a beginner skier with an advanced daughter, but from the booking to the accommodation, to the classes incl. the last day, everything was better than good. Also, the group was very good and made me feel we were all friends from long time. Definitely booking next year."

"This was my first trip away with Single Parents on Holidays so needless to say I was a little apprehensive before meeting everyone. However, I had nothing to worry about. The hosts were incredibly warm and welcoming; the other guests made me feel at home from the get-go; all of the things that mattered organised (so all I needed to do was turn up - bliss!) and the most important thing is that my son absolutely loved it and now wants me to book a summer trip. I couldn't recommend these holidays more! "

"Mayrhofen provides a great family skiing experience. There is a good range of slopes taking learners from gentle to more challenging terrain, and a few tougher ones to keep the speed demons happy. Also the direction of the pistes ensures there's always somewhere good to ski even when the sun is doing its best to melt the snow. The children had an amazing time making new friends and catching up with old ones, while I had the time to enjoy a great week with a welcoming and wonderfully diverse group of people. Thank you SPOH for making this possible."

"The ski school in Mayrhofen was absolutely brilliant. Being situated at the top of the cable car it really felt like my son was properly in the mountains with me even though he was just at the early stages of learning. The end of week ski races and medal ceremony were such an occasion and it was lovely to share that with all the other SPOH parents all cheering on our children together. "

"Another year and another winning holiday with SPOH. Great hotel and skiing week with old friends and new and as always my personal and kids favourite week of the year. Many thanks to Sandra and Tennessee for an outstanding week and looking after us as such great hosts."

"It couldn't be any better! The kids and I had an absolutely brilliant time. Great company, lovely organisation, very smooth and warm and everything is made so easy by Sandra. The best holiday we've had, thank you."

"Thank you to SPOH & Daniela for a wonderful holiday. The range of activities on offer were fantastic - so many of which I wouldn’t have done if it was just me and my child away on our own."

"What a wonderful experience. Kids had a ball. Adults relaxed and socialised. The accommodation and activities were amazing. "

"The group were like a family from the moment the holiday began."

"I absolutely loved our SPOH break in Reith with my 7 year old. The hotel was really brilliant – great rooms, great service, amazing and huge buffet, which was all inclusive and we spent a lot of time at the pool.
Lisi World (the kids area) was wonderful as it was a huge play barn where the kids could run around supervised for hours if adults wanted a break or to chat after dinner. There were also other on site activities such as Mountain Drop and a climbing tower and tennis courts.
Daniela hosted wonderfully and we had some great days out which had a range of options so you could pick what suited your child's age and appetite for adventure. Great group of families as always, and we made lovely new friends. If you are on the fence, give it a go – we've been on two SPOH holidays now and loved them both."

"Hotel is of the highest of standard with great facilities for both kids and parents alike. A good choice of food and one of the best cheese boards I have ever seen. And I can say this, having been in the hotel industry for the last fifty years. I am a grandfather taking a 10-year-old child. Our hosts were friendly, professional and helpful. Well done to all and I hope to see you again next year if my knees are not too painful"

"This was my first holiday booking with Single Parents Holidays, and I'm so glad I did it! The whole trip was incredibly well organised, and both my son and I had such a great time. We made some lovely friends, and it was so special to connect with other families and not feel alone, like I have on other holidays.
Ian and Sabine were amazing hosts-so kind and full of patience! This was the first holiday where I was actually able to relax, knowing my son was being well looked after on the slopes, especially as I don't ski. I couldn't have wished to share my holiday with better people. I'd 100% book with Single Parents Holidays again!"

"A Holiday That Truly Healed and Exceeded Expectations
After the loss of my son's father five years ago, holidays have often felt more like emotional hurdles than escapes. But our first trip with The Single Parent Holiday Co. in Obertauern Austria has changed everything. From the moment we arrived, we were met with warmth, care, and an incredible sense of belonging.
Ian and Sabine were exceptional hosts, and beautiful souls — thoughtful, supportive, and genuinely invested in making the experience special for every guest. The itinerary was perfectly balanced, giving us time to connect with others, try new things, and enjoy the breathtaking surroundings.
The hotel was great and had so much for the kids to do. The staff were excellent, very friendly and patient. One of the most special parts of the trip was watching my boy learning to ski — something I never thought I would be able to navigate as a single Mum. The joy and confidence it brought to him was priceless. Watching him come down the slopes on the last day had us both beaming with pride, and it was so enjoyable to ski WITH him. His Dad would’ve been delighted.
This trip was more than just a holiday; it was a step forward for us as a family. We both left with full hearts, amazing new friends, and unforgettable memories. Thank you to everyone who made it so meaningful. We’re already booked the same trip for next year. "

"We love SPOH ski trips and have made wonderful friends each time (both kids and adults). The group size was perfect, allowing for personalised care while fostering connections with others. Getting the whole group out for lunch on the piste on the last day was a great way to end the holiday and made sure everyone was included, even those who were new to skiing. We made some great memories and would love to return next year. "

"We had a brilliant holiday in Obertauern . The resort is great for early intermediate skiers, with lots of easy runs that take you round the whole valley. We had fantastic sunshine on most days (Easter hols) so the snow was slushy and hard to ski in the afternoon but we were both very glad to hang out and relax in the hotel. Hotel Steiner is superb with fantastic luxury facilities and food and friendly helpful staff. We were taken excellent care of by the hosts, Andrea and Daniela, sorting out all the practicalities, but also quietly and unobtrusively attentive and reassuring so that everyone was included and we all had a really good time. We can't wait to go again. "

"While this will seem like hyperbole, I can honestly say this was the best week's holiday I have ever enjoyed. The girls had the most wonderful time, made firm friends among the group and thrived on the secure independence which the whole arrangement gave them. Hotel Steiner is quite extraordinary (in the truest sense of the word) in terms of the provision for - and tolerance of - youngsters of all ages. The atmosphere fostered by the hotel and by the SPOH team was nurturing, supportive and friendly. This really was a near perfect holiday. Thank you!"

"First ski holiday. Kids had an absolute blast, learnt loads, made excellent friends and it was lots of fun. Ski school particularly superb! We’ll be back for sure."

"This was our second skiing holiday with SPOH, and I can't fault it. We came back as we had enjoyed the first year so much, and so there was an element of trepidation that this time it wouldn't live up to our high expectations. I didn't need to be worried! From the moment we set foot in Obertauern, we were greeted with a smile by our hosts Ian and Tracey, and were so well looked after throughout our time there, without anything being too intrusive. We met a really lovely bunch of people, with whom we had a fantastic week skiing, and have come away with new friends and great memories. I would recommend SPOH to anyone travelling on their own with children. It is a fantastic formula for both parents and children alike, allowing for time together as well as time making new friends. "

"I was nervous about taking my son skiing for the first time, and reading testimonials could see that others had felt the same and felt very supported by the hosts. I felt Andrea and Daniela were incredible hosts - making everything so easy from airport transfers, to finding our rooms, to hiring skis, to sorting out issues with the ski school and making sure everyone was having the holiday experience that worked for them. There was opportunity to do things as part of the group, but no pressure to do so. I was also very touched by their warmth and particularly by their care when my son had a thankfully minor non skiing accident. I am not sure it would be possible to be better looked after."

"Another wonderful holiday with the SPOH crew. It is such an amazing formula for single parent families and totally brilliant for adults and kids alike. Everything is just spot on - lovely destinations and hotels, great kids facilities in the hotels, caring and super helpful hosts, lovely guests to get to know and relax with. SPOH has been a total game changer for us and our holidays; I only wish I had discovered them sooner in my journey as a single parent. "

"SPOH was recommended by a friend and they did not disappoint. They are well organised and think of the details so you don't have to. I went with my 17-year teenage son and he had a great time. Sandra, Andrea and Gunther are fabulous hosts and very attentive. I would definitely go again but for adults only as my son will be an adult himself soon. I would recommend anyone with young children to book a holiday with this company."

"I couldn't speak highly enough of our skiing holiday to Obertauern with SPOH. My daughter and I had a wonderful time and met some fantastic people along the way. The organisation was second to none, and I felt entirely reassured that everything was taken care of. The accommodation was of a very high standard, and access to the slopes was easy. The resort had plenty of skiing for us for the week, and our hosts Sandra and Andrea helped us to navigate and also to find people to ski with throughout the course of our stay. They were on hand to help us with anything we needed, always with a smile. We were both very sad to leave, the sign of a great holiday, and have come away with some lovely memories and new friends."

"Brilliant holiday!! We had every detail thought through and taken care of. The kids all quickly ran off to play together in the incredible facilities. Leaving adults to relax often together. I even got some time in the glorious adult only outdoor pool and spa. Me and my daughter are new to skiing and the lessons were awesome. Sandra and Andrea were really accommodating of the group and helped meet everyone's needs regardless of their ski level. We had groups going out together at paces that suited each individual. We made some great friends and we are already planning a meet up with my daughters new "BFF". If you want a hassle free, fun, relaxing ski holiday with the kids - you couldn't ask for more than SPH and this location and hotel is brilliant - guaranteed snow for the time of year, incredible facilities, food, location - 5* all the way!"

"Both my son and I had a wonderful time. Sandra is an incredibly attentive host. This was my third trip with SPOH and I plan to go on more."

"Another year, another fabulous SPOH Obertauern ski holiday. Sandra and Andrea are wonderful hosts and everything was so well organised and made so easy for us. Obertauern is a great resort for Easter skiing and the hotel is amazing for adults and children alike, with great food and facilities (rooftop pool/spa/children's play areas and family pool). Everyone on our trip was so friendly and funny and firm friendships were formed for both my daughter and me. We love everything about holidaying with SPOH and can't wait to travel with SPOH again."

"Amazing, great fun, Sandra and Andrea are super professional and attentive (picking me up from the slopes) .
Always happy to go anywhere with them!"

"We had a fantastic holiday. Great food and a lovely ski in -ski out location perfect for families and skiers of different abilities. I felt confident that Sandra and Andrea were available to help with any issues I had and was relieved to meet like minded and fun families. "

"It was so well organised that I didn’t really have to think about anything. The group of people were great and likeminded so I felt immediately relaxed. My daughter enjoyed hanging out with new friends so I had time for myself as well as enjoying grown up conversation over a few drinks and delicious food. "

"We had such a wonderful ski holiday with SPOH. It was our first trip with SPOH and I wasn't sure what to expect but we had an enjoyable and relaxing time that actually felt like a holiday! The hotel and pool were amazing and we loved Obertauern, which was a great place for my daughter to learn to ski. She loved going to ski school with her new friends and spending time with them in the play room and pool at the hotel. We loved the service offered by SPOH and the security of travelling with other families and would definitely book with SPOH again."

"Great bunch of people, great skiing, great food.
Many thanks DANIELA for black run adventure. Made Maja's so thrilled. See you soon! x
"

"What an amazing week! This was our first SPOH holiday and indeed group ski holiday, and the quality of hotel, arrangements and the people we got to know was fantastic. Many friendships formed. The holiday is well hosted with 3 people on hand to help. Skiing with two young children, whilst always a little stressful initially, is made a lot easier in a group, and the hotel is perfectly set up with kindergarten and playrooms allowing for actual relaxation après ski. I thoroughly recommend joining, we will be back for many years to come! "

"Another superb skiing holiday and a treat to spend the week with such a fun, inclusive and supportive group of people. The resort offers a good variety of well-linked pistes and, even late in the season, snow coverage was good. Both children were happy in ski school and loved having use of the children's room and pool. Thank you for everything SPOH, we look forward to joining you again next year."

"I was unsure what to expect on staying in a hotel with my six year old son. The whole experience was fantastic with so many other children for him to play in a safe environment with great facilities. While the hotel was super child friendly it add all the right touches and level of luxury to relax and unwind properly after a day on the slopes."

"A great holiday in Obertauern for my son and I. Hotel with its spa was amazing and the food so tasty. Also perfect organization made by fantastic hosts: Ian, Jacob are a real credit to Sandra ‘s company. They couldn’t have been more helpful and friendly. Sandra was amazing.Thank you for looking after me and Gabriel aged 6 so well . No doubt we will use your company again and recommend it to others. "

"Our 8th holiday and 7th year with SPOC, and probably our best trip ever. We have been holidaying with Sandra since my daughter was 7, and even now she’s 15 it’s top of her list every year to book again. Sandra and the small dedicated team of familiar faces, deliver a holiday experience that no other company can ever come close too. With so many repeat travelers in the groups, firm friendships have been made over the years so thank goodness for the Solo trips now, as I was worried my trips with SPOC would be over once my daughter was 18 !"

"Our 3rd holiday with SPOH & what a holiday! The hotel far exceeded any expectations, we were looked after from start to finish. Even though now back home, we are still smiling; It's not often you call a skiing holiday relaxing but this one was. My daughter made firm friends, the ski school very friendly and approachable, the hotel staff didn't bat an eyelid about the kids and usual kid behaviour. Our group, although small was very friendly and everyone approachable. Daniella was her usual lovely self who couldn't do enough to accommodate all our individual requests.. even resulting in her taking my daughter to try the local foods that she now loves (but apparently hated!). I can't compliment the hotel enough and loved be able to ski back for lunch everyday. We will be booking a 4th..."

"A wonderfully relaxing holiday, thank you so much! Well organised, fabulous hotel, a good mix of lovely people and great hosting by Daniela and Jacob. Plenty of other children and a huge games room ensured Sebastian was fully entertained in the evening, leaving me to enjoy a bit of adult conversation. We're definitely up for a second SPOH week."

"My daughter and I have just enjoyed a second fantastic holiday with SPOH. Extremely well organised, fun group of people, fabulous accommodation / food and excellent skiing. We'll be back again next year! I would highly recommend a holiday with SPOH."

"George had a blast - lots of kids around his age.
I would highly recommend this holiday and I will be back next year."

"A great holiday with everything organised to ensure a stress-free experience."

"Rory and I both love the SPOH formula and I have nothing but the highest of praise for the holidays they offer. We can't wait for our next SPOH trip! "

"We had a fantastic time in Paphos. My 9-year-old daughter said she wanted to live there! It was lovely to be able to relax with the other parents while she ran off with her new friends. And our host Jane was wonderful! So welcoming, ever-helpful and brilliant fun."

"Another great holiday with SPOH. The hotel location right on the beach was brilliant. "

"Zac and I have thoroughly enjoyed our 2 weeks in Paphos and will certainly be booking a holiday for 2024. We have made some great new friends for life who just 'get' what it is like to be a single parent. Thank you to our amazing host Jane and everyone at SPOH for making our first holiday so welcoming and memorable. We look forward to many more."

"This was our first Single Parent on Holiday experience and I can honestly say my expectations were totally exceeded. It was amazing to spend quality time with my family but also a privilege to meet a like minded group of people who were interesting, friendly and fun. My children formed a real bond with many of the other children which made life very easy and it was great to have adult company. The friendships formed for all of us will last long after the holiday. Our host was superb and made sure that we all had a relaxing and stress fee time from beginning to end. "

"A 10 to 15 minute private transfer from Paphos airport to the Athena Beach Hotel. Greeted by our wonderful rep Jane at this stunning hotel. Our room was large with air con, everything you want a mini bar, hairdryer, tv, iron, super comfy bed.
The hotel was full but there were never queues for drinks/food and we always got a sun lounger (you have to be early for one around the pool). The hotel grounds merge onto the beach, the sea is clear however the sea bed is undulating rocks but it didn't stop us snorkelling and swimming.
Food is in abundance and very nice too, waiter service was faultless both in restaurants and around the hotel grounds.
Jane organised several trips including aquapark, sunset cruise and a little shopping in the old town of Paphos and its harbour.
My son and I made amazing friendships and spent the days and nights with new friends, mums and dads all looked out for each other's children, whatsapp came in handy with meet ups and times of what's going on, such as cocktails on the terrace. My only downside a little was that the evening entertainment was nice but repetitive. There is still plenty of places to go outside hotel if you wish.
SPOH was amazing, you have the comfort of someone to help you if needed. Jane was fantastic on our trip."

"A fantastic first holiday with SPOH. My girls and I met lots of new friends and my girls spent most of the week busy in or by the pool. The food for varied and the hotel excellent. Would definitely use this company again."

"Great holiday, brilliant location, high quality facilities! We loved the pool, the sea and the delicious fresh food. It was great to meet like-minded people and for the children to mix and make friends. Would definitely go again! "

"Incredible first SPOH holiday - I was nervous going abroad with the children alone but this made it so much easier and friendlier. All the parents looked out for each others' children around the pools and at mealtimes and the children made friends quickly."

"What an amazing holiday! This is the first time that I've ever been on a single parents holiday, and it's the most relaxing and enjoyable holiday experience I've had for many years! Sandra was amazing throughout, as was her daughter, Naomi. My daughter made friends with the other children really quickly, and I barely saw her after that for a couple of days.
The hotel, food, location and facilities were really well chosen and we felt relaxed almost instantly. The group were all great company, and the atmosphere was fab throughout."

"Cyprus was our third SPOH holiday. I wanted rest and relaxation and good adult company. Eva wanted to play all day around a swimming pool. We both got exactly what we wanted and had a fabulous holiday. Added bonus was the all inclusive package and excellent buffets. I just didn't want it to end. Till next year."

"Very relaxing holiday in a well equipped hotel. Lovely pool. Sandra and Naomi always very helpful and so friendly. "

"This is the ideal company if you want to holiday with your child but at the same time enjoy the company of other adults and children. We made lots of new friends, had great fun and adventure, lots of lasting memories made, and we can't wait for next year. "

"James and I attended the Peak District holiday in August 2021. We arrived at the same time as another family, James asked the two boys to play football and they became firm friends! The farmhouse was amazing, each bedroom was beautifully decorated, clean and modern. There was a huge kitchen where we could all eat together. There was two living rooms, which was ideal when parents wanted quiet time away from the kids. But the best part was the well-equipped games room in a separate building where James and his new friends spent many happy hours having fun.
Our holiday coordinator organised some fun trips, which we did as a whole group, group meals in the farmhouse and a local pub. Being part of such a friendly, large group of families was such fun. James and I have seen some of the families since the holiday, we are delighted to have made good friends. This is one of our favourite holidays, I cannot recommend it enough. Very well organised and fun with like-minded people. We will be doing another SPOH again for sure, we might even do this one again next year- maybe see you there!! "

"My daughter and I had a lovely time at this converted farm. The children enjoyed playing in the game room and watching TV together. The adults hung out in the evenings either outside or in one of the reception rooms. We enjoyed the outings to the Heights of Abraham and to Chatsworth house. Will be returning if I can. Made some good friends that we will be seeing again. Ian , the host , looked after us well "

"Thank you to SPOH & Daniela for a wonderful holiday. The range of activities on offer were fantastic - so many of which I wouldn’t have done if it was just me and my child away on our own."

"We had an amazing holiday in Ramsau with SPOH and met some wonderful families. Daniela made our week stress free and nothing was too much trouble for her to organise. The hotel and location were beautiful and we loved all of the activities, from swimming in the lake and white water rafting to the glacier and family hike. Daughter (8) had a blast making new friends too. "

"Single Parents on Holiday is an incredible experience for meeting wonderful children and adults, and holidaying in a way that feels safe and supported. From being met at the airport with transport to trips while you're there, it's the perfect way to take a break with your children as a single parent. Every person on our holiday wanted to do another one - that's the best recommendation you can get. "

"As a dad taking away my little boy of 4 for the first time, and being an active family I was a little nervous of trying to do this all on my own for what was a very big adventure for us both. The choice of holiday in Austria was ideal, activity based and we managed to participate fully in everything that went off. This was simply down to how at ease all the parents and kids where together and this of course had the benefit of allowing me to set aside the concerns I had, and a shared understanding and willingness to just enjoy ourselves. And that we did. It was one of the best holidays I've ever had and I cannot thank SPOH enough, and all the new friends Rufy and I now have. We cannot wait for next year! "

"A truly wonderful way to go on holiday as a single parent. The children were mixed age which made it feel rather like a large family. My 13 year old for example took charge of the four year old and they developed a very sweet connection. This then gave the parents some much needed space and opportunity to chat and connect with other adults. It was so harmonious…it felt like we’d all known each other forever."

"Amazing setting, the activities are so fun filled. Enjoyed Toboggan, cable cars. My 11 year old enjoyed the Zorb. The grounds are lovely at Simonbauer."

"Myself, Alfie (9) and Oscar (5) had a blast in Ramsau. The team were extremely helpful pre holiday letting me know which activities Oscar would be able to do and which he wouldn't; being on a group holiday meant that Alfie didn't need to miss out and could join the others if I couldn't do it. It was a great mix of making new friends, getting out and about in the day doing activities and then having fun back at the hotel playing football, tennis, ping pin and snooker - this was just as important to the boys. For me, it was nice to be able to relax and chat with others knowing the kids were safe and happy. Thoroughly enjoyable week and I would definitely use SPOH again. "

"Ramsau, Austria is not just for winter! It's a great place in summer and a beautiful place to explore the natural beauty and scope of its surroundings. The age range and size of the group does not matter, as most if not all of the activities suit families of all ages. We did lots of firsts on this holiday and created many happy memories."

"We had a great time, nice vacation if you like outdoor activities. I think great vacation for kids over 10-12 years, not for small children."

"We had an excellent holiday, Daniella was a fabulous guide and offered great activities which we could all enjoy irrespective of age. The hotel was lovely, swimming lake, sauna & steam room all appreciated after busy days."

"Another great SPoH holiday with great people! Daniella worked exceptionally hard to organize everything for us and flexibly worked around wet weather constraints too. The Dachstein area is very pretty with wonderful scenery. The family run Hotel a peaceful place to stay with good food which was enjoyable after building up appetites following our walks and various outings. A good head for heights needed for some activities! Would highly recommend this holiday for teens. My son loved the rafting, paragliding and the glacier visit. We had a fantastic time and have returned home refreshed and ready to think about our next trip away with SPoH!"

"We had a great holiday in Ramsau. There were lots of fun activities to do together – rafting, tandem flying, walking etc. We had some rain while we were there and Daniella, our group leader, juggled everything very efficiently so that we hardly noticed. Being in a group and having a helpful leader enabled us to do things that we wouldn’t have been able to do if I had taken the children on holiday on my own."

"This was by far the best holiday we’ve been on for a long time. From the moment we arrived, our host Daniela made us feel very welcome and had a really exciting programme of activity planned for our week. I really liked the fact that nothing was set in stone and that the group had the final say on what they wanted to do which took account of everyone’s needs and expectations. We had a fun packed week and got to do things that we would never have done on our own. Ramsau beach and the surrounding area was a perfect location for paragliding, mountain carting, hiking and just generally chilling in the mountains. It was perfect as the kids had a great time and equally so did the adults! A group holiday like this takes the stress out of going it alone. I would recommend SPOH to single parent families for this reason alone. A big thank you to Daniella and Sandra for all their efforts to make it the best holiday ever…..watch the video."

"Single Parents on Holiday lay on some great holidays and this one was no exception. The kids got to do some amazing things – including paragliding down a mountain – and I got to hang out with some fascinating and fun adults. We had a ball! Special thank you to Daniela for always going the extra mile for us, can’t wait to do it all again some time soon!"

"From the moment we arrived at the airport it felt like our holiday had begun. We met up with one of the other families travelling whist boarding the plane and the holiday just got better and better. My children made friends instantly and the relaxed nature of the hotel meant they were free to play and enjoy them self. Daniela, our host, arranging all the trips to work with the weather and considered the abilities of the group. We have a fantastic time and enjoyed every minute, one week disappeared far too quickly and if felt like we had barely touched all we could do in the Austrian mountains."

"Another superb SPOH experience – very happy & contented children & mummy! The Dachstein region is truly stunning and offers a wealth of possible adventures and experiences. We met some super people, in Daniela we couldn’t have asked for a more efficient or delightful hostess. A really special and relaxing holiday."

"This was one of the best holidays we have ever experience. The office staff in the UK were very efficient. Daniela, our rep, was outstanding and nothing was too much trouble. Her enthusiasm and professionalism shone through and was infectious! Our only problem was the holiday went too quickly and we had to come home!"

"This was my first holiday on my own with my son and I was a little apprehensive beforehand. However, the SPOH group really blew me away. My son had an amazing time, the group stayed really close and supportive of each other and it felt from day 1 that I was going away with close friends. We both loved it. "

"My son and I loved our holiday! It was the first time we had been on a holiday with other family groups like this and it made such a difference. Over the first couple of days my son gradually settled in with the other kids and after that a group of them around the same age spent much of the rest of the holiday together, playing in the pools and water park, etc, leaving the parents free to relax, read and chat with kindred spirits."

"First holiday as a single parent with my 7 year old. Felt held, supported and safe surrounded by a network of new friends and our wonderful tour guide Emilie who was great with the kids. Gorgeous hotel and location. I feel very rested and rejuvenated. My daughter and I made friends for life. Definitely recommend SPOH."

"This was my first SPOH trip with my 14 year old son and I can’t recommend enough! We both had a fabulous holiday, the host was amazing and the other parents lovely!"

"SPOH's approach to single parent holidays gave us an amazing experience. We both had a blast, met great people, shared adventures & built memories. Croatia was stunning, the night time speedboat was a definite high! From a nervous Mum, asking myself shall I book, to looking forward to next year!"

"This was our first holiday with Single Parent Family Holidays and it exceeded our expectations. My 8 year old son made firm friends with the other children on the trip, I got to bond with the other parents and all this in luxury and fantastic weather. We will definitely do this again. "

"As a mother of two young boys aged 4 and 8 and recently widowed, I was fretting about them missing out on a summer holiday simply because I was too scared to go abroad on my own. Then I discovered this company and cannot recommend it enough. The holiday exceeded all my expectations in terms of customer service, the rep whilst we were there, the organised activities and of course the company! I have come away feeling so much stronger as a newly single mum as well as having made amazing friends for life! Can’t wait for my SPOH trip next year!"

"Rory and I both love the SPOH formula and I have nothing but the highest of praise for the holidays they offer. We can't wait for our next SPOH trip! "

"Being a new single parent, the thought of going on holiday with just my son was daunting. This was our first holiday with SPoH, and having a group of people in a similar position was great - people to talk to, kids to play with. The hotel and resort were excellent, and plenty of trips were available if you wanted them. Just a shame that the week went so quickly!! 🙂 I cannot recommend SPoH highly enough and we'll definitely be looking to use them again! ""

"We thoroughly enjoyed our first holiday with SPOH. My children made friends quickly and it was lovely to have other parents to chat to. The hotel, food + beach were great too. Jane was a friendly and helpful host. Thank-you for a lovely holiday!"

"Ian the host went above and beyond what I would have expected. Thanks to his dedication, the holiday ran smoothly and a great time was had by all (both parents and children).
The activities were well organised and there was a variety to suit all ages, but you had the option to opt out of activities if you wished.
The farm was idyllic location for children to all play together (in our group from 4 up to 15 years) without their phones, and they all made really good friends. By the end of the week we felt like one extended family!
Asked 'what was the highlight of her week?', my daughter answered 'everything!'"

"We had a brilliant, fun, restful holiday with lovely people and lots of fun activities! I cannot recommend SPOH highly enough :)!"

"Devon was an amazing location, so much to do! Our host was super and so helpful to all the parents. "

"I took my nearly 3 year old son and at times we would leave early from visits because he would need his nap, that's the only thing different about taking a toddler. But I think the nap was more for me than him!
The accommodation was perfect (I asked for a bed against the wall for co sleeping and I got what I wanted) but I still needed to keep a sharp eye on him when wondering around the place which is understandable because it is not enclosed. The accommodation was split and he liked to pop down and up all the time... I was more tired than he was! Every morning he would groom the donkeys and his favourite visit was the farm (cuddling the piglets) and the beautiful beach where he explored the rock pools looking for crab with all the other children on the holiday. Everyone was really helpful and were lovely company. We look forward to booking again next year. "

"A fab holiday from start to finish. Sandra spoke to me on phone first as it was my first SPoH trip so I had some questions. Then when I got there it was so well thought out. Blackadon Farm was a great place in a beautiful setting. We loved that you could walk to the river and across the golf course to their clubhouse for yummy food. I was nervous as a single parent trying a holiday like this but Ruby was so welcoming and friendly. She really looked after us. She organised all our trips to various attractions as a group. She joined us on all the adventures and the chilled out evenings too. She got us chatting as a group and played board games with the kids in the evening so us mums could catch up over a glass of vino. We got on very well as a group. I'll be booking again! "

"I was hesitant about going as my son is only 2 years old, however our host was really welcoming and good with him and he had a great time mixing with the other children. The proximity of the room to the communal area gave me the chance to socialise in the evening too. We were able to join in with the daytime activities around the local area but we equally enjoyed playing in the stream and with the donkeys at the cottages. I’d definitely recommend this holiday for adults and children of all ages."

"The holiday was really well organised and our host could not have been better. She was great company and helped us all bond together. My daughter enjoyed it very much."

"The week was fantastic! My son loved learning to ski and making new friends and I loved the ability to “be a grown up” as well as a parent.
My first proper break since I was widowed over a year ago. "

"Fab ski week in Stuben, vast ski area, lovely hotel and service with a great host."
