Jo
Farrington has been organising activity holidays
for the past twenty years. Moorland Hall is a beautiful Victorian
Country House to run courses from.
The
house, which also has a swimming pool, stands in its own five acres
of gardens and paddocks in some of the most beatiful scenery within
Dartmoor National Park in West Devon.
Children
live with the Farrington family and with numbers of between 20 -
40 children staying at any one time, they soon feel very at home
in the relaxed and happy atmosphere of this beautiful family home.
A
holiday at Moorland hall is a holiday with a purpose. Everyone has
fun and makes new friends, but above all they come away with a sense
of achievement and with skills that they will value for the rest
of their lives.
The activities that
we organise include many of the things that young people dream about
doing, even if they are designed to develop qualities of leadership,
stamina, teamwork and confidence! Our aim is for everyone to have
fun while achieving the challenges set for them.
Safety
is our priority, and our equipment is modern and well maintained.
Fully qualified instructors always supervise all the activities,
which include:
There
are also many indoor activities:
 Our
guests live as part of the family and sleep in the attached coach
house, in rooms of between 5 and 10 children. We have male and female staff, who
together with Jo Farrington provide close supervision
at night, so that there is always someone close at hand if the need
arises. In the main house there is a large sunny sitting room, a conservatory, television
and dining room.
One
of the features of Moorland Hall is that it is a family home and
because of the relaxed atmosphere, children do quickly feel at home
here.
Most
of our guests are aged between 9 and 15. Many of our guests come
alone, but very soon mix with all the other children. Those who
have not been away from home before may like to bring a friend.
Because we are a small organisation, we can keep a careful eye on
how everyone is getting on, to make sure they are happy and enjoying
their holiday.
We
have a large number of children from overseas coming to stay with
us too, including Austrians, Spanish, French and Portuguese. They
are here to learn English, and enjoy mixing with our English guests,
often forming strong friendships that last for many years.
We
believe that our popularity is partly due to our unrivalled facilities,
but most of all to the warm and cheerful atmosphere that pervades
the house.
