What makes this great accommodation for School groups?

A family-run business we have been welcoming school, university and youth groups for more than 20 years. Regular customers include primary schools on activity holidays, secondary schools studying sciences and geography, and Colleges and Universities studying Biology, Geology and Sports Science. We are also used as a study retreat in the winter for A Level students.

Property Description

Outdoor Alternative is situated 300m from the coast in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Our purpose-built, comfortable 3-star bunkhouse style accommodation sleeps 42 people in 9 bedrooms several of which are en-suite. School and youth groups have access to exclusive use of the accommodation.



The large common rooms can double as classrooms or even laboratories for science groups. There are also break-out rooms available for smaller groups. Internet facilities can be made available to groups.

The Centre has 7 acres of grounds providing scope for games and team-building activities.

We have established links with local AALA licensed outdoor activities providers and activities such as kayaking, climbing, coasteering and orienteering are all run within walking distance of the Centre.

The main beach in Rhoscolyn, Borthwen, is 5 minutes walk from the centre. It is a sheltered bay with a golden sand crescent beach and is safe for swimming and ideal for beach games and rock-pooling.
