Ride as regularly as possible
You’ll get more enjoyment out of your holiday if you’re already riding regularly. Ideally 6-10 hours a week over 4-5 rides if you plan to join the faster groups.
This trip and experience was a dream come true!! The entire staff; mechanics, guides and management at Stuart Hall are nothing short of superb! My wife and I booked an Oct 2023 Majorca trip with them for my 50th birthday present and they only met, but exceeded our expectations! Warm, friendly and professional, it was a real pleasure to spend our vacation there and to get to know all of them. The hotel management and entire staff are nothing short of exceptional as well. The grounds are quite charming and we were delighted by our stay at the Playa Mar in Port de Pollenca. This was my 50th birthday present (cycling in Majorca) and our 8th wedding anniversary. What a magical place with so many wonderful people…guests and new friends, guides and hotel staff. It will always hold unforgettable memories and be a special place for us. Do yourself a favor and book with Stuart Hall for your next cycling adventure!!…you won’t be sorry! Thank you for the lifelong memories! ~Sammy & Sarah
Hi Helen, I never got chance to speak to you before I left unfortunately. Just to say I had an amazing week cycling with your team and it’s probably one of the best holidays I have ever had. Thanks so much to you and all your team in Mallorca. Gabrielle 🙂
Morning Jenny
Just to let you know that I had a fantastic week in Mallorca. It was my first time with SHC and I would definitely recommend them to any other cyclists (particularly a woman who travels solo). Only negative point is it went far too quickly (next time I’ll stay longer ).
I had a brilliant trip with Stuart Hall Cycling. From arrival to departure everything was organised for me. I stayed in the same hotel as the Stuart Hall crew which was amazing, not only did I throughly enjoy the cycling but also enjoyed the breakfast and lunch and dinner with the guys. The guides Stuart, Marcus, Ben, Rob and Tiago were brillaint ensuring that everybody was comfortable and noone left behind. Would highly recommend and not just because of the very reasonable prices. You are guaranteed a good holiday with these guys.”
That was an incredible first experience you gave me cycling in Europe. What a great 6 days,the transfers,the hotel,the loops,the climbs,the lunch stops,the support van,the road captains,the evening recovery meals. An absolute blast. THANK YOU.
Just back from a six day cycling holiday with Stuart Hall in Mallorca. From start to finish, the professional approach of Stuart Hall and his team ensured that our entire party of 20 were excellently looked after in an non intrusive but professional manner. All the highlighted cycling trips proved to be well planned and immensely enjoyable taking in some of the islands breathtaking scenery. Would highly recommend Stuart Hall Cycling to those thinking of venturing on a cycling holiday either as a group or an individual. Also his choice of hotel for our stay The Mars Senses was ideal with great food and excellent staff. In the immortal words of the Terminator……we will be back. Tony
Hi Stuart & Team,
It was our first time cycling in Majorca, have to say we thoroughly enjoyed evey bit of it, from the hotel, bike hire, guides, routes etc, couldn’t find a fault.
We certainly plan to be back again in April 2023.
Regards
Andrew
If carlsberg did cycling holidays, this was it, hotel, facilities, location beside the beach, shops, restaurants food, staff, cycling guides, top class, looking forward to returning next year, highly recommend 👍
Kieran
Morning Jenny, just a quick note to say thank you to you all for our stay with you this week. Stuart was the perfect guide on the road ensuring we got to ride the many hidden quiet roads on the Island, we will be back to be expertly guided around the island again. Wishing you a great season ahead
Regards Frances
Can’t recommend Stuart Hall Cycling enough – have now cycled north and south of Mallorca with them, routes are always well chosen and appropriate, guides are excellent and great company. The hotels they use are in excellent locations, comfortable and very friendly with all the facilities you’ll need on a cycling holiday. Bike hire also top quality and good value. Given the way we’ve all had to live over the last few years their flexibility and ability to accommodate last minute changes is equally admirable
This was the first time we had participated in a leader led cycle activity and it was brilliant. We really enjoyed the experience.
The booking process / general organisation was very relaxed – ‘well oiled’ – supported with information as & when requested. We had absolute confidence in ‘Stuart Hall Cycling’ with regards to arrangements such as transfers, hotel booking & cycling experience and the general organisation was excellent. The hotel (Occidental Playa de Palma) was perfect for us. The food was good and generous.
The rides were good. Interesting, very enjoyable and sometimes challenging, which has given us a benchmark for our next trip. Ed had us weighed up & measured quickly (ability / fitness wise) and tailored the routes / itineraries perfectly.
The hire bikes were great value for money, set up perfectly and with Ed & Stuart on hand we had full confidence in the mechanicals.
In summary, the experience was just what we had imagined and you did not disappoint, far from it.
I had a fantastic week in Majorca with Stuart Hall Cycling. My first cycling trip overseas and first venture into group riding. The experience was very memorable, as a lone female cyclist I felt looked after from the moment I arrived at the airport until my departure. The staff could not do enough to make my holiday great fun with guidance where needed.
A highlight for me was a group ride at pace where Helen both supported me and gave me guidance how to ride in a peloton. This gave me confidence and knowledge for the future.
I made lots of friends never feeling alone. I will certainly be back in Spring hopefully catching up with the friends I made.
Thank you.
Jean
Hi Helen
It’s just over 2 weeks since we contacted you about a potential short cycling trip to Mallorca.
From the beginning to now sitting here waiting for our flight back to London the service we have received and experienced has really been beyond exceptional.
In our opinion it’s always starts with ‘location, location’ and Mallorca, Puerto Pollenca and Mar Senses Hotel are spot on.
All the staff we met were fantastic, from the taxi driver from the airport, Ed the mechanic and Wayne and Simon as cycling guides. Not to mention ALL the staff in the hotel.
We are working hard already to organise ourselves for a return trip to Mar Senses next year. Please could you look at your availability around Easter weekend 2022, 5-7 nights. We are reasonably flexible about dates. Ideally, leaving UK on Thursday 21st April 2022 please.
It’s very exciting to be able to plan ahead a bit more.
Thank you once again, you’ve been brilliant and we shall spread the word about you to our many cycling friends.
Best wishes
Mark & Rachel
I struck gold this week with you lot, thanks for brilliant trip
Rode with Stuart Hall cycling on a recent C2C. The team Phil Welch, Mark Hall and Ed Moesli were superb, full of knowledge, supportive and motivational. Nothing was too much trouble, all good guys to be with through 3 tough days of climbing. Wouldn’t hesitate to book another trip with Stuart Hall cycling. 5 stars 🌟 team!
Have to say I am unbelievably impressed with your response to all this, and a lot of other travel companies could learn a lot from you. This type of thing is not forgotten when things get back to normal.
Thanks
Martin
Hi Jenny
Thanks, excellent service. I have no qualms about using your firm again in the future!
Paul
Thanks Jenny
You most certainly will [see us in Mallorca in the future]. So very impressed with your company. Will recommend to anyone. Good luck and hope all work out well 😊 Nick
Thank you so much, you are obviously a very classy operation.
Rob
Hi Jenny
Many thanks for refund. I appreciate that this must be a difficult time for the company and I’ve read that other companies haven’t been as understanding as you. Brian
Hi Stuart
Just a note to confirm I received my full refund into my account recently.
Many thanks for your attention and excellent customer service. It is a credit to your organisation in what must be extremely difficult times for a business such as yours.
I sincerely look forward to booking with you again for Spring 2021.
Until then, stay safe and well.
Kindest regards
Niall
Good specced bikes in tip top condition. Hotel chosen was excellent and food amazing. Slick operation lots of repeat customers
We just finished two weeks there with SHC. Best vacation we’ve ever had. Dave
Hi Helen and Stuart
We have just really enjoyed a very relaxing week in Mallorca at the Mar Senses. The cycling has been great and all the guides have done a terrific job (nice relaxed rides, good food stops and good fun). My wife wants to come back again (same time, same place), so Stuart Hall Cycling certainly gets a 10 out of 10 in my feedback!
Thank you. I’ve had an incredible week. I’ll be back. Kudos to Sue. She’s been wonderful 😊
We have just completed a Marlow to Champagne cycle ride organised by the team at Stuart Hall Cycling and it was brilliant! The team were really supportive and very well organised, the entire trip went incredibly smoothly. As a team of mostly novice cyclists we needed as much motivation as possible and they definitely helped with that. Thank you so much for everything, this was a great way of team building for us and I am sure will be talked about for years to come.
Thanks for all your hard work and for all the leaders who led us out on some stunning rides and looked after us so well. I thoroughly enjoyed the bike rides and superb location of the hotel which meant rides covered a variety of scenery. The food was great with choices to suit everyone and the accommodation was very comfortable.
It was my second time with Stuart Hall in Mallorca and I would highly recommend his organisation and friendly accommodating approach with rides to suit everyone. My non cycling companion also had a great week.
A fabulous week, thanks for your and your team’s attention to all our needs. Accommodation, bikes, service all brilliant.
Evening Stu,
A big thank you to you and the team for making my first overseas cycling trip a memorable one!
You’ve got a great set up and team . . . and I’ve left inspired to take my cycling up a notch.
All the best
I had a great cycling holiday with Stuart Hall. In particular I loved the Andratx to Port de Pollença ride and Sa Calobra. High praise for the planning and tour guides, the hotel, facilities and bikes. Highly recommend.
Julia
Stuart,
Sorry I missed you on my trip. I had a great time and rode about 500 miles in the seven days I was in Mallorca.
The staff, hotel and food were outstanding. The routes were wonderful. I loved the flexibility each day with the different rides.
Please tell the guys that they really helped my training. I returned home late last night and went racing today. I won two criteriums! Both were about 25 miles each.
Thanks again and we will see you next year.
2nd time with Stuart Hall cycling in one year and can’t fault it- from the hotel, food, staff, rides it was amazing. If you enjoy riding your bike in the sunshine with great company book this holiday you will not be disappointed!
A good setup, well run and great fun. I can highly recommend Stuart Hall and his team. I will definitely be returning. Thanks Stuart, best wishes, James.
Good Afternoon Stuart,
I just wanted to take the opportunity to thank you and your staff for a brilliant holiday 23 – 30 sep 2018.
From the moment we arrived everything was excellent, the room in the hotel, the bike and set up, helped by Dan.
The rides each day were very well organised and the three ride leaders, Dave, Tom and Wayne, made the rides even more enjoyable.
I have already told everybody at the club I ride with about Stuart Hall, recommending they use you, if they come to Majorca.
I will definitely look to book next year and look forward to cycling with your company again.
Thanks for a really good week.
Great rides, top guides, nice hotel and good company.
Morning Jenny
Just want to say thank you to the whole team for a wonderful weekend.
The trip was extremely well organised, the accommodation was ideal and Stuart and the rest of the lads were great company.
I loved the ride as the route and views were breathtaking and thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience.
I’m very interested in taking part again next year once the ride is announced please could you drop me an email to let me know.
Regards
Paul
Stuart,
I have to thank all of you at Stuart Hall Cycles for organising and supporting me thoughout the week of the Marmotte. You kept the pressure off the riders and the professional advice in the days before the race was invaluable (you even told me how to breathe).
The race day will always be one of the best days of my life and the race went so well. When I came down off the Galibier to find Dave by the van shouting “You did it man, man you did it!” I was sure that I would be a finisher. When I punctured in the last tunnel going down to Bourg, Dave and Ian rocked up to help before I even had the tyre off, it was great.
So at 69 I completed my first Marmotte and rode all the way, I have the medal, the long sleeve jersey and the memories!
Very many thanks for all the help.
Hi Stuart
I recently returned from a week cycling with you between 28 April and 5 May 2018 with a group of 10 other friends. This was my second time with SHC and once again it was a great experience from the uplift at the airport, the hotel, cycling, staff and the drop off. The choice of routes and scenery is fantastic.
I also had a minor mechanical with my bike, which your staff sorted out in a few minutes.
I will be returning in October with my wife and we are both really looking forward to it already.
Thanks again!
Hi
Just returned from a week cycling in Mallorca. Had the best time and just wanted to take the opportunity to say what a wonderful group of staff you have, especially David going above and beyond to ensure all guests are happy!
Thanks again I will definitely be back
Had the most fantastic time cycling in Majorca with some great friends, great guides (Stuart Hall cycling), and meeting new friends. 840 miles cycled in 11 days! Can’t wait to go again!! Lindsey
Just home last night after an epic 5 days riding with this great bunch. Best holiday ever. Can’t wait for the next trip #sorebum 🚲
Had a great holiday my partner and I. 10 out of 10 from start to finish. Looking forward to the next time which will be in May.
5 star time! Great guides – and they were even able to burn the candle at both ends!! Many thanks – hope to be back!
I just completed the Raid Pyrenees with Stuart Hall Cycling. This was Epic, with a capital ‘E’. Yes, no doubt, other tour companies can get you from Hendaye to Cerbere but not likely on the secondary roads, by-ways, lanes, and obscure Cols that only Stuart manages to discover. If you want a memorable adventure and an experience of a life-time, then, Stuart Hall’s Raid Pyrenees will deliver in spades. This is no easy ride; and requires one to be in peak aerobic condition, with legs of steel, a resolute mind, and a willing spirit. It’s just fabulous, and a worthy goal for any serious cyclist. It’s six days of concentrated effort; you’ll be tired, yes, but you won’t stop smiling.
Stuart,
Just a note of thanks from our group of cyclists and non-cyclists for a beautiful few days at your cycling camp. For most it was the first taste of what is on offer in the way of cycling and relaxation in Majorca, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the experience and the routes. We were all really impressed with the Playa Mar, you have a terrific base there with great facilities and quietness when you need it!
Some are already planning for 2018.
Best wishes,
Mike
Amazing week of cycling with 370 miles done in 6 days. I also met so many lovely people. Home to real life tomorrow and many thanks to all at Stuart Hall cycling for the best week yet. Great cycles, great food and super great company. Thanks Stuart Hall – I will be back soon.
Long miles, winding roads, beautiful scenery, new friends, same great staff and wonderful spring training experience at Stuart Hall in Mallorca. Can’t recommend this place highly enough. Hope we meet again next year! Kristi
Hi Stuart.
I am sat in the plane home with a smile on my face after another fantastic week.
Thanks to you, all those who lead rides and those behind the scenes.
Each year I come little things change. They are always for the better but the core elements remain intact. Your trips are low key, relaxed and always about riding bikes. You make me and the others I talk to feel valued.
The six months until I return will hopefully fly by.
Kind regards.
Jonathan
Stu, these boys are… a pleasure to be with!! It’s great you’ve found people of the same mindset as yourself.
Three days spent with the guys and other repeat clients, have made the short break invaluable. Professional, knowledgeable, and inclusive are words that spring to mind. In short Andy, Ben and Garry are top guys who know their riding, and go that “Extra Mile” to deliver a Fantastic, Memorable, Experience.
Thanks for another great time.
Cheers Chris
Hi Stuart
Back home now 🙁
Just a quick note to thank you for a fantastic time. It exceeded my expectations. Fantastic rides, staff, company, accommodation, food, hire bike & transport…and good cycling weather too 🙂
I would love to come back (multiple times if only I could retire!)
Regards and thanks to all
Just returned home yesterday having spent 11 days at the Playa Mar, I would like to pass on my thanks to all for such an excellent time. First time with you in Majorca and it won’t be the last, a very special thanks to Emma, Ben, Dan, Lucy and yourself Stuart. Many thanks again.
Hi Stuart
Just a note to say how much I enjoyed my trip last week. Exactly what I wanted. Your guys did a great job with a small group managing to keep everyone satisfied. Will use you again in future for sure.
Hi Stuart,
Just a short note to say how impressed am I with your outfit. The guides were excellent, incredibly knowledgeable about all the backroads, the hotel was adequate and the food fine. The prompt and efficient attention to detail was remarkable, including setting up of the bike which required no further tweaks from the specs I sent through.
You’re doing a great job, many thanks for providing an excellent week of riding.
Warm regards,
Steve
Big thank you Stuart to you and your team for looking after us all the way and ensuring we all made it to the end. A journey I’ll never forget!
I just wanted to say thank you again for the great trip I had training with you all in March 2015! On Sunday I raced at Ironman Wales and came first in my age group by over 2hrs which meant I qualified for the world championships next October! Look forward to coming out next year to train with you all for this.
Thank you very much for an amazing week in Mallorca. The cycling was brilliant, we felt challenged and your planning was excellent. Needless to say, we will be back next year.
Just a few words to say a big thank you for the 9 days, probably the best 9 days concurrent cycling I have ever done. The weather helped, the company certainly did, and the roads and routes were superb.
Just wanted to say this trip was a baptism of fire for me as I only took up the cycling thing in February, that said it was a fantastic holiday and I had brilliant time whilst learning many new things about group riding and hill climbing. I definitely have the bug, thank you for a great time, especially to Sam (catweazel) who made me feel welcome and gave me confidence.
