At a glance
The Grange in the Isle of Wight has been awarded four star guest accommodation by the AA and receives TripAdvisor's Certificate of Excellence year after year. The Grange has also been awarded the 'Good to Go' accreditation by Visit England which means all steps are in place to meet government guidelines, ensuring you have a safe and enjoyable stay. Meet like-minded new friends and explore your potential with inspirational, skilled facilitators who will support you. Do as much or as little as you choose.
About
Skyros attracts mostly solo travellers from all over the world. Although all ages are represented, approximately 70% are between 35 and 65. The Grange is a stunning Georgian country house, surrounded by greenery and close to Shanklin's sandy beach, cosy pubs and restaurants and the local train station.
Accommodation
Share a room with a friend or family member or choose single occupancy of a room. The supplement for single occupancy is £70 for two nights.
Inspiring Courses
Your course weekend includes six hours of tuition across two days. This leaves plenty of time to explore the island on coastline walks or enjoy health and beauty treatments (book these in advance). Courses take place outdoors wherever possible and 'households' are socially distanced from each other by 2m. If held indoors social distancing of 2m will be in place or, if 1m plus, risks will be mitigated with the use of face coverings.
Food & Drink
Holidays are inclusive of breakfast, lunch and dinner. Meals are taken outdoors where possible. If indoors, tables are distanced from each other with more than one sitting. You can 'buddy up' with another individual or household for mealtimes if you choose. Table service will be in place. Packed lunches are provided as per hospitality guidance at this time.
