2023 Testimonials

I recently enjoyed an absolutely incredible week in Mallorca on my first ever cycling holiday. I was recommended Stuart Hall by a friend of mine, and I was not disappointed. As it was my first cycling holiday and I was flying solo, I was slightly apprehensive, but was made to feel welcome by both the Stuart Hall staff, and by those also on their cycling holidays. The hotel was great, as was the food, and the roads and scenery were stunning. I hope to go back there to see more of the country.

Liam & Rob, Mallorca Autumn 2023
Hi Stuart, I just wanted to say that I had an absolutely fantastic time on my holiday. It was very hard to adjust back to normal life after a perfect week in the sun and on the bike. All the guides on the rides I completed were excellent and very friendly. Special mention for Rob, Wayne, Beth, Jesper and Joe, all who were great on and off the bike. I thought the whole setup was very professional and well ran. I had no issues with my bike and would happily ride it again without question. All the guests were really friendly and a good bunch, so a combination of the Stuart Hall staff and other guests made me feel very at ease on my first trip. The hotel was great, with good facilities, surroundings and atmosphere. The only nitpick I would make is that the evening meal was a bit hit and miss, particularly on my first day. Breakfast and bar facilities were great otherwise. I’m looking forward to coming back next year, so I am keeping my eye on the website for when dates become available. Thanks once again for the great holiday! Peter
Peter, Mallorca Autumn 2023
Stuart, Many thanks to you & the team for organising a most enjoyable holiday. There were many impressive things about your organisation. Firstly the way that from the start you gave us ride options that suited the (considerably) varying abilities of everyone in the group. A special mention to Helen; her knowledge of the backroads on the first two days gave us great rides, but also kept us clear of traffic. I was also impressed that having stayed on for two days with no cycling, you still sorted my transport to the airport. Hotel was fine; good room size, slightly ‘functional’ decor and meal quality for a 4*, but a very friendly vibe to the place and nice that it isn't just full of Brits! Thanks again for your hard work Jonathan
Jonathan, Mallorca Autumn 2023
Hi Helen and Stuart All I can say is fabulous time. Maybe the best one yet. Great great staying at the Mar Senses so got the benefit of the nicer hotel but still social. Loads of choice on the group rides too. Thanks for a fab time. Until the next one!
Dawn, Mallorca Autumn 2023
Hi Holiday was great thanks. Guides old and new were spot on, Marcus his usual strong riding self and the new guys Joe and Beth were excellent also. Good choice of rides and quality cafe stops. Can’t wait for next year.
Martin, Mallorca Autumn 23
We really enjoyed the holiday. We wanted a hassle-free holiday, and we got exactly that, so thank you. The guides were all friendly and helpful, and went out of their way to help us access any particular rides we wanted to do, including adding a minor alteration to the group ride to drop us off at a good attack point for the mountains. We enjoyed the group rides but also did our own thing at times. The freedom to perhaps do a shorter morning ride then potter off to explore under our own steam was a plus for us. The Playa Mar Hotel proved to be an excellent choice and we liked the 'sociable table' set up.
Jane, Mallorca Autumn 2023
Hi Jenny, Helen and Stuart, Corsica was fantastic from start to finish. The Island of Beauty did not disappoint! We loved the routes, a great mix of coast and country. The days were challenging but achievable, leaving plenty of time for some evening exploring. Particularly enjoyed Calvi and Corte. Hotels were all lovely - Scopa Rossa was our favourite for that local/rustic feel. All topped off with the usual mix of interesting participants you find on a Stuart Hall tour! Big shout out to Ian - absolute star on this tour. Couldn't fault his enthusiasm, guidance and support. Many thanks to Ray too for stepping up to the plate. We would be very keen on similar tours in the future.
Jean & Richard, Corsica 2023
Hi Helen Just to say thanks very much to you and all your crew for a great trip last week. All very well organised and I had a splendid week. Bit tough coming back to the wind and rain here! I reckon I'll be back for more (just maybe not as much as some of the addicts!) Thanks again Ian
Ian, Mallorca Autumn 2023
Great to be back out in Port de Pollenca with my twinnie Jayne Metcalfe and first timer Karen Calder! Stuart Hall cycling never fails to deliver .. fantastic guides for all abilities in a brilliant location . Loads of cycling and loads of laughs is standard ☀️🚲😁 Think we’ll all be back Kim
Kim, Mallorca Autumn 2023
Just back from a fabulous week on my own in Mallorca with the Stuart Hall cycle crew. All I had to do was ride. Everything else was taken care of. Great hotel and food, strong guides, top rides, excellent bikes and super fun with some fun people😃😃. Such a great value trip . I will be back Kevin
Kevin, Mallorca Autumn 2023
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
Sammy & Sarah, Mallorca Autumn 2023
Dear Stuart Hall, Many thanks for your e-mail. Everyone in our group had the most fantastic time and, overall, we consider that, of the similar trips that we have made in recent years, this was by far the best organised. The hotel was excellent and the rides out very well thought through with different options to suit our varying abilities and with excellent lunch stops. The evening meals out were also particularly good. The guides were brilliant and I would like to send special thanks to Helen, Beth, Neil and Wayne who were in charge of the rides I did. With many thanks Nigel
Nigel, Mallorca Autumn 2023
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 ).
Gabrielle, Mallorca Autumn 2023
Dear Stuart Hall Cycling, I came to Mallorca 12-19 Sept on my own and stayed at the Playa Mar. I enjoyed every minute of it. I rode with Wayne’s group and I thought he did a great job of keeping everyone happy. The room was bigger than I needed and I would have traded the bed in the lounge for a desk so that I could more easily have done some work on my laptop after the day’s ride. However I understand that it is a family not a business hotel and it was worth being there to have dinner and drinks with the rest of the group. I would definitely like to come back, although not sure when that will be.
Rob, Mallorca Autumn 2023
Hope I’m writing this in the correct place. I’ve just had a fantastic week riding from Puerto Pollensa with great guiding by Wayne and Marcus and the other guides too numerous to name. Thanks very much to all concerned and hope to see you in Spring next year.
Des, Mallorca Autumn 2023
I did the Raid Pyrenees with Stuart in June from Hendaye to Cerbere. An amazing experience, incredible scenery, good choice of hotels and a great bunch of guys. Tougher than we had envisaged but lots of encouragement from the guides kept us going! The only thing I would tweak would be to offer a little more variety on the evening meals, there is only so much pasta and chicken you can eat! Overall I highly recommend, the organisation was great, routes sublime and guiding/support/logistics just the right balance. Our group will be booking another trip soon....
Darren, Raid Pyrenees 2023
Stuart and the team made our Trans-Pyrenees trek a truely memorable event. Their knowledge of the route and all its challenges ensured the whole group made it through safely to the Med. Aches and pains all round but a real feeling of achievement. We'll be signing up for another adventure next year for sure. John
John, Raid Pyrenees June 2023
Hi I certainly enjoyed the trip from start to finish. As I have already told Stuart the organisation and dissemination of information was spot on from start to finish. Being ex military I like to know what I’m doing when and where etc and I was certainly left in no doubt both prior and throughout the trip. Your admin instruction with the route, gpx files and hotel names etc was invaluable. As suggested all the routes were loaded to my Garmin which allowed me to ride at my own pace knowing that at the end of the ride I’d arrive at the hotel. The support vehicles were invaluable on the harder and wetter days, food stops were great and there was always food and water when required. Hotels were well located and perfectly acceptable for the trip. They say that people make things work regardless, well Stuart and his team certainly did that. Regards Glenn
Glenn, Raid Pyrenees June 2023
Stuart Just to say how much I appreciated your excellent trip. It was very special, did not have a single glitch and, thankfully, was with a nice bunch. Am grateful to both you and your team for organising me as well as encouraging me along the way which was much appreciated. I enjoyed a good laugh with you as well as some fun banter. The last dinner was a nice note on which to end. The route and countryside were brilliant. I will be back one day. No wonder Ian made the Pyrenees his home. One last thing- in your blurb is the following, which sums me up to the tee: “You need to be a competent cyclist and comfortable climbing and descending, but stamina, determination and a can-do attitude are more important than speed. “ All the best, Andrew
Andrew, Raid Pyrenees June 2023
Hi, I thoroughly enjoyed my trip. Hotel perfect base for cycling and plenty of food options for hungry cyclist. Rides were great. Will book again in future. Thanks Jo
Jo, Mallorca May 2023
Merci à votre beau groupe... j'ai adoré mon séjour j'espère qu'il y aura un autre rendez-vous...bonne fin d'été..
Gisele, Mallorca May 2023
I thought everything about the Stuart Hall cycling experience was superb Sure the bikes are not Pinarello - but they work great - and do the job just fine. And they are fabulous value. The hotel was brilliant - clean - super food - very relaxed. The all-inclusive was a sensible price - that felt very customer focussed - and everything was really easy The bike riding felt safe and fun I would love to come back Gary
Gary, Mallorca May 2023
Hi Stuart, Helen and Team Apologies for not having e-mailed before. But when you get home from a holiday, life takes over. Please extend my sincere thanks to your entire team for a great holiday. The ride leaders and sweepers, (in my case Bart – bless him), were all great. Their knowledge of the island and the numerous tracks away from main roads was so instrumental in providing us all with safe, enjoyable and occasionally exciting riding. Not to mention the beautiful countryside. I’ve been visiting Mallorca for 30 years but with you guys I discovered so much more. Congratulations on a putting together a superb formula for great cycling holidays. Best wishes Graham PS The Mar Senses hotel was also excellent. Lovely friendly staff. Great food and very comfortable rooms.
Graham, Mallorca May 2023
3rd time with Stuart Hall Cycling this time in prep for a road race, really welcoming as always and some great rides for all abilities 👌. Take the opportunity to go Andratx if you can, it’s challenging which ever way you do it but the views are immensely fulfilling 👍
Iain, Mallorca May 2023
Hi Jenny/Stuart, Just wanted to drop you both a quick email to say a big thank you from all of us for an amazing few days cycling. We enjoyed all the rides and enjoyed everyone’s company and hopefully we will be back again next year to enjoy another short break.
Grant, Mallorca May 2023
Hi Stuart, Helen and team especially Wayne and Oliver. This was my first organised biking cycling holiday and I can say that it was truly fantastic I’m every possible way from organisation and logistics, through to bike hire route selection and group leaders, to accommodation choices and transfers. I had just ridden Japan with a friend which was great but this was a whole new level and I am hooked. Hooked on cycling holidays and hooked on going away with Stuart Hall cycling holidays as my European cycling holiday provider. I will be returning next year to Mallorca and will book early enough to get a Raid spot. Huge thank you to Wayne the overt star of the organisation for outstanding elite selection, group selection and control and reading the group. Also a huge thank you to the covert hero Oliver der Mechaniker…..who does an amazing job of keeping the bikes on the road and in outstanding condition and is fun to cycle with. Oliver must learn to share his ‘cake by location’ knowledge. Amazing time with amazing people. Thank you from Down under. See you next year.
David, Mallorca May 2023
Huge thanks for making this another great trip with 8 perfect days cycling, rides were very well organised, smoothly kept together, ride leader Wayne always ensured everybody was kept together, safe and well looked after 🙌 10/10. Creating more super memories of my trip to this beautiful island. Thank you!
Kerry, Mallorca Apr 2023
Hi Jenny, Please pass on our thanks to the Stuart Hall team for another very enjoyable trip - bikes & hotel were brilliant & all went very smooth. Looking forward to joining you again next year.
Andrew, Mallorca Apr 2023
This was my second trip to Majorca and once again it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. We booked through Stuart Hall who leaves nothing to chance with a well oiled set-up from booking, collection at airport and return to first class accommodation. His variety of rides with excellent ride leaders provides an experience, all cyclists and is a great way to see some of the most stunning views on the island. Would highly recommend Stuart for anyone thinking of travelling for a cycling holiday to Majorca and hope to return there once again in 2024.
Tony, Mallorca Apr 2023
Hi there. Just a quick email to say thanks for a great week with you guys. I think this was my fourth time and probably the best yet. I didn't get to do the Andratx ride this year due to the uncertain weather, nor the lighthouse, which would have been perfect today, but the bike is in the box (great excuse). I think I was lucky with the groups out here also, had a cracking time with the Welsh. With just over 400miles in 6 days, I'm feeling happy about the start of our coast2coast ride through France again. Hope to get out again next year. Thanks very much.
Simon, Mallorca Apr 2023
Dear Stuart, Another great holiday with you. I am already planning a return trip for next year and possibly joining you in November. This year I found the range of organised rides extremely good and very well suited to my return to cycling after a foot operation. Some new destinations for me which was nice. The ride leaders were all very consistent with their pace and all rides had a sweeper which ensured everyone was well looked after. I particularly enjoyed the rides with Geoff, Patrick, Brendan, Neil and Rob. The hotel is perfect with friendly, helpful staff, comfortable clean rooms and a good selection of food in the buffet. The all inclusive worked well having lunch up until 3pm. Organisation was excellent, pick up and drop off both on time. The pre ride briefings were useful and informative. Best wishes, Kate
Kate, Mallorca Apr 2023
Stuart, Helen and the team, I just wanted to say what a fabulous time we had cycling with you all in Mallorca. The playa mar hotel was fabulous, the food was amazing and the staff were so friendly and attentive. It was such a treat to sit in the poolside bar after a day on the bike with a glass of something cold and chat about the day’s adventures. It was great to meet other groups and also chat to your wonderful staff about where they had been too. Our greatest memory was the ride that you organised for us, from Andraxt back to the hotel. Wow, that was something else. The bikes were really good and well maintained and any mechanical issues were addressed straight away. We enjoyed the views, the chats, the beautiful roads, the cafes …. Need I go on? We all had such a great bonding experience and can’t wait until next year. Sarah
Sarah, Mallorca Apr 2023
Hi Jenny, Just a short note to say thank you to all @ Stuart Hall cycling for yet another fantastic week of cycling! Graeme and myself stayed in the Mar Senses hotel. The room food and staff were excellent. We went out with Wayne on all our rides. He is an excellent group leader and has excellent local knowledge. See you all again next year.
Fergus, Mallorca Apr 2023
It was a fantastic week in Mallorca. What a great organisation. Met some really special people this time. Brilliant, brilliant crew (and the barman at the Mar Senses pours a mean measure of rum). Back next year.
Jim, Mallorca April 2023
Hi Stuart: Thanks for a wonderful 10 biking days I just spent with you and your team in Mallorca. I missed you before I left so I could not tell you in person about my experience. I liked the different rides, especially all the switch back climbs. Sa Calobra and Andratx stand out. Looking forward to seeing you again in 2024. Have a safe ride,
Torbjorn, Mallorca April 2023
Thanks Jenny, A note of thanks to you, Helen & the whole team for the week in Mallorca. Always really well organised, friendly atmosphere and prompt responses to any queries. We were also delighted with the Mar Senses hotel. All in, a brilliant week in Mallorca and finished the 312!!!! We look forward to doing more trips with you guys in the future.
Barry, Mallorca 312 2023
Hi guy’s, What a fantastic holiday, first time away without my family and a cycling holiday no less! I cycled every day and achieved limits I never thought were possible. The guides are fantastic and very positive people. Hotel was so welcoming it became home for a week and everyone knew you to see. Majorca has such beautiful coastal & Mountain View’s hard keeping eyes on the roads. Lots of stops and opportunities for photos, no pressure within the group.
Caroline, Mallorca April 2023
Hi just to say i had a great time. Your team were on the ball and couldnt be more helpfull. Happy to recomend to anybody and if i do this event on a package deal again you will be my first call.
Colin, Mallorca 312 2023
Hi Stuart, Everything was perfect, the hotel, the facilities, pools, spa were stunning, All the staff were so friendly & helpful, Really enjoyed the evening entertainment. The food was absolutely delicious, so much variety, something for everyone. Great craic with the ride leaders out on the many iconic cycling routes around pollensa (great coffee stops) Myself & my wife Mary had a lovely relaxing week in the Playa Mar, cheers
Kieran, Mallorca April 2023
Thank you very much Stuart - we had another great weeks cycling - hope to see you. Again later in the year 🚴‍♀️😎Penny
Penny, Mallorca April 2023
Stuart/Helen/Jenny, Thank you all for a fantastic trip. Everything was first class from the minute we landed. Your staff are brilliant, the hotel was brilliant the spins were brilliant, and you even organised the weather for us! We will recommend your company to all our cycling friends back in Ireland and we will definitely be back again next year.

Hey Guys, Had a fab time as always hence the reason I keep coming back… love it ❤️. The ride leaders are a great bunch especially Wayne (his rides just flow), he communicates well with the group both Jez and I loved his rides. Oh and Patrick he is a scream… so funny ! We were entertained on his ride to Manacor… lovely bloke. Stu’s rides were ok (joke) as always most enjoyable ❤️.
Linda, Mallorca April 2023
Hi Jenny Just want to thank everyone at Stuart Hall Cycling for the great experience on the Mallorca 312 trip. From leaving home to returning last night everything ran smoothly from flights, transfers, getting the event numbers and the staff in the resort. Thanks again
Moray, Mallorca 312 2023
Hi Helen and SH team, On behalf of everyone at Usher Irish Road Club I wanted to acknowledge the hard work you put into our recent trip to Mallorca. We had a brilliant week and even enjoyed the 312! A special mention to Wayne on our spins who facilitated us greatly leading to the event and made our spins very enjoyable… We look forward to our next trip with you guys hopefully in October, in the mean time take care and thank you again for all your help!
Damien, Mallorca April 2023
Hi Helen Thanks for all your ongoing help with making trip work for those of us who cycle with " team Stuart Hall " …… all went without a hitch and everyone at hotel especially the leaders / mechanics left no stone unturned to make it all work. See ye all in October please god Kind Regards. Tony
Tony, Mallorca April 2023
Just back from an amazing week in Mallorca. My first time there with your company and I cannot praise you highly enough. The set up is just brilliant, hotel great, excellent selection of rides every day. All the leaders were amazing especially Ian. Loved every minute and definitely looking to return either October or next April.
Alison, Mallorca April 2023
This is my second time coming to Mallorca cycling with Stuart Hall. The reason I came back for more is because I loved my first experience a lot. And I must say, my second time was also amazing. It was great to be in Pollença (I was in Palma the first time) and it was brilliant to find Marcus and Tiago still there as guides and to see Ruth again. The cycling was incredible. I enjoyed all the climbs and the faster days (trying to hang on to Marcus for dear life 😀). The Mar Senses Hotel is fantastic and all in all the overall experience was unforgettable. I want to thank everyone who has made my 6 days in Mallorca just fabulous. I would love to the Alps and I am just debating whether I am fit/strong enough for what looks like an epic adventure. Stuart Hall Cycling is just the best and I have been recommending it to everyone I know.
Maria, Mallorca April 2023
Just come back from a Stuart Hall cycling trip in Mallorca - found everyone, guests, guides and Stuart Hall himself really nice and very welcoming, hotel and food was spot on too!! Will definitely be booking with them again!! Fantastic trip!!!
Richard, Mallorca April 2023
Hey Stuart and Helen, Myself and Christina had an amazing time at your cycling camp. The resort, food and riding was top notch. I mostly wanted to write this to say thanks to Marcus and Tiego. They made our experience unreal and unforgettable. Having such strong, fun ride leaders was a real difference maker. I hope to see them again next year.
Kyle, Mallorca March 2023
Missing you already, thanks for an awesome time last week. Special thanks go to our guides Marcus and Tiago!
Stuart, Mallorca March 2023
I have recently returned from a week based in Palma with Stuart Hall Cycling. Everything was seamlessly organised. The rides were great and the break represented excellent value for money. I am booking again next year and hope to also attend the 2024 Raid Alpine. Stuart and Marcus were excellent ride leaders and did their very best to cater for slightly varied abilities within the group. This was a great way to get some base mileage in at the start of the year. The food and accommodation as well as the facilities at the hotel were good & I would have no hesitation in recommending Stuart Hall holidays to anybody wanting some early season mileage on a great island for cycling.
Mark, Mallorca March 2023
Stuart, et al: I have only one suggestion after my incredible trip to Mallorca, and that is to shorten the lunch breaks by either allowing the riders to fan out and seek their own lunch (rather than all gather at one small, short staffed cafe) with a one hour time limit, or assign a guide to those riders who want only a brief lunch stop, so they can get back on their bikes more quickly. Ninety minute lunch stops were too long, IMO. Otherwise, every aspect of my trip was exemplary, and I would recommend your organization without reservation. I particularly liked our guides, Marcus and Neil. I hope to see you again.
Mark, Mallorca Feb 2023
Hello Stuart and Helen - I had a great trip and very memorable, enjoyed my first visit to Mallorca. We got lucky with the weather (each day was warmer) and the groups that we rode with were very compatible with what we wanted to do. We came to Mallorca with the expectation that we would do some rides “on our own”. We did not resort to this and we are all glad that the ride leaders (guides - especially Marcus and Neil) were there to make sure that we did what we wanted to do and got back to the hotel on time. The rooms were good. The food was plentiful and we did not go hungry! All in all, a great trip that I hope I will be able to do again.
Bevan, Mallorca Feb 2023
Just wanted to let you know that I really enjoyed the camp and I’ll definitely be back again it was more than I expected and a very good experience. Thanks so much
Dominic, Mallorca Feb 2023
Hi Stuart and Helen. Home now after a wonderful weeks cycling with nothing but the best days. Loved every single minute, even Tuesday and my little mishap, but thanks to Stuart the life saver, we made it. Great rides, great company, fantastic routes, what more could we ask for? I'll be back.
Mike, Mallorca Feb 2023
These holidays are awesome...I'm on my first one and I'll be back.
Dean, Mallorca Feb 2022

2022 Testimonials

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."
Emma, Mallorca Oct 2022
I was initially nervous about going away on a cycling holiday to Mallorca by myself. I doubted my ability to keep up with the group. The thought of eating alone in a crowded restaurant filled me with dread and I almost backed out at the last minute. However I put my big girl pants on and sucked it up. So glad that I did. I had the most fantastic time with Stuart Hall Cycling . Most of the other people were also solo cyclists and half the group were women. The guides Ben, Tiago and Marcus made me feel welcome. There were group meets in the bar, we sat together for meals. The cycling was superb and I kept up. I made new friends and had such a great time I'm going back in April.
Ruth, Mallorca Nov 2022
I spent 5 AMAZING days in Majorca cycling with Stuart Hall. I can't recommend them enough! I had the best time ever. Stuart and Helen are very attentive "hosts". The hotel near Palma was really nice. The bike rented from Stuart was in fantastic condition and was a pleasure to ride. And what to say about the outstanding guides: Ben, Marcus and Tiago. They aren't just incredible riders with great knowledge of the roads but they are super personable, easy to talk to and always up for a laugh. I really did not want to come back to the UK. I am certainly considering coming back for more. Thank you to Stuart Hall Cycling for the amazing experience I had. Majorca is a cycling paradise!!
Maria, Mallorca Nov 2022
Jenny just a quick email to say a big thank you to yourself for all your help with all the booking details for my recent cycling holiday in palma staying in the Playa Mar hotel.Everything was top class the hotel & food was fabulous going all inclusive was a great idea thanks.To Stuart & all his guides excellent even though this was first time I will definitely be going back hopefully next year when will the prices be out for accommodation etc for next October for same thing ? I would be grateful if u could let me no thanks really enjoyed the meeting up on the rides everyday with all the other cyclists & also the fun with everyone & the dinner table Once again thanks again Jenny to you & all your team for such a great time John
John, Mallorca Oct 2022
This was our second trip with Stuart Hall Cycling Holidays in the past 12 months and it was another fantastic experience, fulfilling all of our expectations. In no particular order, the transfers from & the return to Palma airport were slick, the hotel was perfect with comfortable large rooms. The hotel food was fresh, plentiful & tasty. There was a great bar area at the hotel to chill post ride. Most importantly, on the cycling side, the choice of routes catered for all abilities, we enjoyed the company & had complete confidence in the group leaders. The weather was fantastic. If you are considering a cycling holiday in Majorca we suggest you have look at what Stuart Hall Cycling Holidays have to offer.
Alan & Carole, Mallorca Oct 2022
Dear Stuart / Helen, Thank you again for a wonderful week. Having got soaked today, I wish I was still there! Everything was perfect and to meet up with friends who I met in April and to meet new friends – fantastic week The rides were well organised and varied, two days with Marcus and Tiago was enough! Shame we only had two days with Wayne as he is a legend. It wouldn’t be the same without him. Look forward in seeing you and the team again in April Best wishes Simon
Simon, Mallorca Oct 2022
Hello Helen/Stuart I’d like to start by thanking you for such a good experience in Mallorca it was amazing, yourselves and your staff are amazing and Me and rob will definitely be returning! Be proud of the business and everything you do we can see it can be hard work at times but you manage it really well. Thanks again and we will be recommending you whenever possible. All the best Liam and Robert
Liam & Robert, Mallorca Oct 2022
Just finished a fantastic week of cycling with Stuart and the crew. Would defo recommend it to anyone and will defo be back next year. Travelled on my own and was looked after from start to finish and made to feel very welcome by all. A special mention to Stuart for sorting all the arrangements and to Rob and Brendan and the rest of the guides for really going the extra mile to look after everyone and have the craic at the same time. Excellent!! Bobby
Bobby, Mallorca Oct 2022
Hi Helen So often people only email to complain so here is just a quick email to say how great it was last week in Mallorca. The rides were well planned and superbly managed by the ride leaders. Of note both Wayne and Rob managed groups with split abilities so well it was hard to tell who was fast or slow. Both Wayne and Rob are a credit to your business. Wishing you all the success for the future Dale Blake
Dale, Mallorca Oct 2022
Hello Stuart, Helen and Jenny Another wonderful few days cycling with SH - thank you! As we knew the drill (and with no Covid paperwork and faff), we found everything pleasantly familiar and easy. Mars Senses was it’s usual lovely self - service, food and helpful staff. This year’s SH boys were really great. Special mention Ben, Roy and Brendan who looked after us on a ‘medium’ ride with a large group of [club] riders who were determined to push the pace. Your chaps ensured we didn’t drop off the back and managed a few tricky characters really well. We hope to return again next year…..just need to get it authorised by our families 😉 Thanks to you for your clear communication, providing decent bikes and slick airport transfers. Fingers crossed, we’ll see you in 2023. Have a great season! Warm regards,

Hi Jenny I’ve just returned from a trip with you company and would like to comment on a few things. From being picked up at the airport to being dropped back at the airport the experience was first class Hotel absolutely first class includes service food cleanliness Rides again first class but I would like to single out Neil,arron,Brenden and Wayne, these four guys were fantastic and made my experience even more enjoyable Please show this email to your staff as they should be extremely proud of how they conduct themselves and most importantly you should be proud of them In my work any company is only as good as it’s staff
Lloyd, Mallorca Oct 2022
Thanks guys. Had a blast (again) in Mallorca. Special thanks to: Ben for expert pacing and good conversation all the way up ‘the pig’ and for riding until 6 to get the ride done. Geoff for looking after our pal Norman when he took ill at lunchtime and needed nursing home, some 30+ miles. The rides out with Brendon and Rob are some of the best I’ve enjoyed in Mallorca. Great craic and expert leadership. Even on my last day Brendon and Geoff lead us up Sa Calobra and back. I finished at 4 and was on the bus to the airport at 5. A great end to a great week. 487 miles and 28,400 ft of climbing in a week!! Overall, everything was spot on. The Team were great. Rides well organised and the hotel very comfy. (Hopefully) I’ll be back next September.
Martin, Mallorca Sept 2022
I’d just like to take this opportunity to say how great the cycling holiday I had was. A good set of riders and leaders and the whole setup just was spot on, thanks Stuart for a brilliant time and I can’t wait to go next year
Stephen, Mallorca Sept 2022
Had a fantastic week in Majorca with Stuart Hall holidays. As a single traveller I can’t complain, from start to finish service and support couldn’t have been better, all the guides were super supportive and very conscious of everyone’s enjoyment and safety. Rides were well organised, riding through beautiful quiet roads of Majorca at a good pace with excellent coffee / lunch stops Off the bikes staff were just as engaging and encouraging, it was great to see Stuart and all guides show real interest in guests, making sure it felt like a team effort, socialising and laughing making the week very enjoyable. If in doubt about booking, don’t be just book you won’t regret it! Already planning trips for next year
Michael, Mallorca Sept 2022
Thank you to Stuart Hall, Rob, Ben, Roy and the whole Team. What a memorable week we have had and now understand why cyclists keep coming back .... just so hard to resist! Take care and ride safe
Tracy, Mallorca Sept 2022
Hi Jenny, Just back from the September Raid Pyrenees trip. Had a fantastic time and great adventure. Couldn’t fault the Stuart Hall set up. Excellent from start to finish. Easy booking, comprehensive pre ride information, charming French hotels and challenging cycling. Felt safe and supported throughout. Great bunch of cyclists to ride with and new friends made. Just brilliant! Many thanks Jenny and off course thanks to Stuart, Ben and Ian.
Richard, Raid Pyrenees 2022
Just back from a fantastic week in the Pyrenees. A great route and a well-organised trip. Stuart and his team proved all the help and support you need in an unfussy way, enabling you to enjoy your time on the bike. The hotels and food were good and the routes were well-pitched, to be challenging yet achievable and enjoyable, with all our group getting supported whatever their pace. The Pyrenees themselves are awesome, unspoilt yet spectacular, with long climbs, some steep ones too, scenic peaks, quiet valleys and enjoyable descents. Highly recommended trip and a great company.
Anthony, Raid Pyrenees 2022
Just back from a fantastic week of cycling the Pyrenees from the Atlantic to Med. Many thanks to Stuart, Ben, Ian and the rest of the team at Stuart Hall Cycling. Everyone on the cycle tour were great and we had a lot of fun. Tourmalet was the highlight for me!! Greg
Greg, Raid Pyrenees 2022
Brilliant week, thank you everyone for making it very special. The support crew were fantastic, not sure Richard and I would have made it without Stuart’s bike expertise.We are already talking about our next challenge. Good luck everyone. Jean and Richard.
Jean, Raid Pyrenees 2022
A fantastic trip, great company and thank you to Ben, Ian and Stuart for all you did. Keep turning those pedals, till next time. Yvonne and Glenn🚵🏽‍♀️🚴🏻
Yvonne & Glenn, Raid Pyrenees 2022
Thanks everyone for a fantastic week. It has been a truly special time and I have loved every minute of it. Big shout out to Ian, Stuart and Ben for your support. chat and advice.👍👌 Have a safe journey home everyone it’s been a pleasure to meet and spend time cycling with you all.👍 mark
Mark, Raid Pyrenees 2022
We have ended our journey and before we all disappear in different directions - Canada, Sweden, Ireland and UK- and before this WhatsApp group closes I would like to say to you all what an amazing time I have had this week and it’s all down to you guys. (the climbs, views and descents may have something to do with it of course). The support and camaraderie between us has been inspiring. An experience never to forget and made possible by those amazing chaps Stuart, Ian and Ben who have been, quite frankly, the best. Must give thanks to my friend Adrian who, many months ago, suggested the ride - so happy he did. 👍🏻 One big happy family. Will miss you all. Take care. Anthony
Anthony, Raid Pyrenees 2022
This was a great trip for my first experience in the Alps! Stuart and the staff were very helpful and supportive through the whole experience. I was lucky enough to ride with a great group of people and had good experience on the bike and each day at meals and exploring in the small towns. Pushing myself on the big days added to the overall reward at the end!
Todd, Raid Alpine 2022
An unforgettable six days riding across the Pyrenees. Great route, great company and a big thanks to Ben and Ian for looking after us so well. And also to Jenny for handling the logistics so well prior to the trip. Ben
Ben, Raid Pyrenees 2022
Excellent trip riding the Stelvio, Gavia, and Mortirolo passes in Italy. Well organized both before and during the trip. Helen, Ian, and Aaron were lovely and our hotel was fantastic. Great lunch and dinner stops and nice hire bikes as well. Highly recommend; we will definitely be doing another trip in the future!
Stelvio 2022
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.
Neville, Stelvio 2022
Fantastic week of cycling with the SH team. Special thanks to Simon who's straight talking and endless knowledge was shared in equal quantities! This is now definitely yearly event and maybe the 312 one year? Toby, Barrie and Jules
Toby, Mallorca May 2022
Hi All, Just to say thank you for another amazing trip with everyone & Stuart Hall Cycling. We stayed at Mar Senses this year and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Food was excellent and staff were outstanding, very friendly and efficient. The cycling is always awesome, sun and smooth roads! The ride leaders are friendly and navigate the many lanes with ease, always finding great café stops. Overall the organisation from booking to airport transfers and everything in between ran smoothly. Great trip, looking forward to next time. Thanks, Seona & Harry
Seona & Harry, Mallorca April 2022
Just want to say another BIG THANK YOU to Stuart and staff for another awesome bike vacation in Mallorca. My friends from Colorado were impressed and had a great time. Thanks Again.
Steve, Mallorca May 2022
Hi Jenny & Stuart, Just a short note to thank you for a fantastic week of cycling last week. Hotel was excellent , the cycling was excellent and the whole trip was excellent. The only complaint I have is it went way too fast 😊 Keep up the good work we will be back !! Take care
Fergus, Graeme & John, Mallorca May 2022
The trip, as always was great. I had the benefit of staying at Mar Senses for a week and then three weeks at Playa Mar, both pleasurable experiences. My room at Playa Mar was excellent. I appreciated being on the ground floor and to having the morning sun. The meals were fine and the staff cooperative. As for the SH crew, they were informative and courteous and the rides were varied and interesting. Altogether it was an excellent cycling holiday experience. I plan to return in October.
Harold, Mallorca April 2022
Booking with Stuart Hall last minute for the 312, great organisation, hotel, race numbers all ready - really took the nerves away for us all to enjoy the day - a challenging but beautiful 167 completed with smiles under blue skies ☀️☺️
Suzanne, Mallorca 312 2022
Just like to say a huge thanks all involved at Stuart Hall Cycling. We had a fantastic time during the Mallorca 312. Superb organisation, Hotel, people, food and weather ! The day before the event the organised ride out to spin the legs was just right. Great to ride the quiet local lanes and enjoyed the coffee stop under an Olive tree in typical Mallorca village, couldn’t fault it. We had a successful 312 ride and will definitely come back again. Thanks everyone.
Neil, Mallorca 312, 2022
Jenny A belated thank you from me. I’d entered the 2020 edition, which of course did not take place, so I had been waiting nearly 3 years to ride the event. It did not disappoint - it was fantastic. Your choice of hotel and its location was also spot on. I very much hope to be able to travel with you again next year, so please do include me on your mailing list when your 2023 packages go on sale. Thank you Best wishes David
David, Mallorca 312 2022
Hi Jenny, Back from the Mallorca trip. Just a note to thank you and all the team for a very smooth, enjoyable and well organised trip. Hope to go back again. Kind regards Kevin
Kevin, Mallorca April 2022
Fantastic 2 weeks cycling in Majorca with SHC, thanks Stuart/Helen and team for a great time as usual!!! 👍😀
Peter, Mallorca April 2022
Finished of my seventh ride yesterday climbing Selva Gorge with Stuart Hall Cycling, many thanks to Stuart and his staff , throughly recommended to any one wishing for some excellent accommodation, guided group rides and cafe stops as always.
Perry, Mallorca April 2022
I'm home from my first cycling holiday with Stuart Hall Cycling in Mallorca. I had such a great time - Super riding, socialising, food and drink. Kept very well organised even with a little changeable weather conditions and the continually changing dynamic of different riders arriving and leaving. Loved the mix of different routes each day which allow you to cover different parts of the island. I'm currently booking my next trip - Thanks. Ed
Ed, April 2022
Hello Jenny Just a quick email to say thank you for all of your help and that of Stuart Hall’s for my Mallorca trip this year. Been a great first holiday to Mallorca with Stuart Hall. I will be looking to book again for 2023. Thank you Rob
Rob, April 2022
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
Tony, April 2022
Hi everyone, Just wanted to say thanks for another great trip. Everything worked perfectly (as ever) from being picked up at the airport to the time I got dropped off again to go home. Great guides, routes and cafe stops as usual and it felt great to be back with old friends again after what seems like forever (actually only 2 years) due to COVID restrictions. I'm already planning my next trip so should see you all again in October. Hasta pronto! Lou
Louise, April 2022
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
Andrew, April 2022
Hi Helen / Stuart, Just a quick thanks for giving both Tricia and I another fab cycling holiday. Big thanks to both Rob and Patrick for looking after us on our rides. Wishing you all the best for the season. Andy and Tricia.
Andy & Tricia, April 2022
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
Kieran, April 2022
Thanks - Helen - we are having a brilliant holiday thankyou. The team have been great and the hire bikes perfect. I certainly will recommend to my friends.
Stuart & Scott, Apr 2022
Hello, We had a fantastic time at The Mar Senses Hotel with Stuart Hall. All your team did everything they could to give us a great cycling holiday, it was so much fun. Great routes, ride leaders, they accommodated all abilities and provided us with great refreshment stops. The hire bikes were super as well. We will certainly be back. The only thing that could be improved on might be the dinner at the hotel, there was not always clear choices for vegetarians. Also the jacuzzi in the spa was a bit chilly. Everything else was great. Thank you so much. Cathy
Cathy, April 2022
Stuart Thank You and your really great staff for another memorable cycling and fun holiday. Super hotel, accommodation, food and challenging trips. We look forward to returning to you guys down in Pollenca in Spring 2023 DV. In the meantime,very Best Wishes. Gerard & Ursula
Gerrard & Ursula, April 2022
Thanks for another great week riding country lanes in search of cake (success!). Your knowledge of the local road and weather conditions is extraordinary and makes for a good time for all. Wayne, Garth and Simon also added their personality and experience. I will be back, and may bring my son with me next time! Feel free to post my comments. You provide exceptional value. Gracias!
Bob, April 2022
Just got back from a great 11 day trip to Palma with SH. Clear blue skies, empty roads, lots of route choices, great anecdotes from Stuart and not a pothole in sight! Thanks Stuart and Helen- see you in March
James, Jan 22
Hi Stuart and Jenny Sorry this message is so late but I wanted to say a big thank you for a fantastic week in March! It was my first time cycling abroad and despite the weather throwing some challenges, the riding was fantastic and routes certainly seemed to make the most of the weather we did have! Didn’t have to worry or even think about anything from arrival at Palma airport which was a blessing. The ride leaders and guides were a fantastic support and great fun also, and special thanks to Wayne and Aaron. The flight home was slightly painful after a few too many drinks (and shots!?!) in the Mar Senses bar on the final evening but everything made it back in one piece! Thanks again Lottie
Lottie, March 2022
Just a quick thank you ! Just to say great food, accommodation & our tour guide Wayne done a great job verry impressed, will definitely recommend, thanks, the two Micks & David
David, March 2022
Hi Stuart Just a quick line to say how much myself Dave & Mick enjoyed our 5 days with your company. I would like to single out Wayne our cycling guide who was very professional, diligent and whose humour kept the smile on our faces in very challenging weather conditions. I will definitely be booking another cycling break with your company in the future Kind regards Mick
Mick, March 2022
G'day Stuart I loved my time riding with you guys. The bike was great. The guides really good especially Wayne and Garth. Love Sa Calobra. Will spread the good word Down Under on Majorca and Stuart Hall.
Geraldine, March 2022
Just quick message... Stuart... thank you so much to you, Aaron and Rob for a brilliant week... see you hopefully in October... regards Angela
Angela, March 2022
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
Frances, March 2022
Brilliant few days break with Stuart Hall Cycling! Great hotel, great group rides with really good leaders!! Will be back for sure! Thanks! 🚴🏻‍♂️
James, March 2022
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
Paul, Mallorca Jan 2022

2021 Testimonials

Hi Stuart and Helen, Trust you are both doing well and looking forward to your well earned break. Cycling - awesome. Lucky on weather. Good routes and a variety of hard and eat which allowed for good recovery and the much needed endurance mileage. Ride leaders - you were all epic! Feedback on how to improve is always welcome. General organisation - easy to do business with. When you look at the website you get a good feel for what you are going to get and how much for. Fees are also very reasonable and deposit/ payment plan is excellent. Coming back - hell yeah. Looking forward to it. Need to agree dates with work and let you know. I’m usually a last minute dot com. Thanks again to all 3 of you. Merry Christmas Marianne
Marianne, Mallorca Winter 2021
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.
Alan & Carole, Mallorca Winter 2021
It was a really excellent holiday which we thoroughly enjoyed. All your staff, especially Wayne and Matt, were very friendly and helpful. We also enjoyed the Mar Senses hotel even more than the Playa Mar, as we thought the check-in was slicker, the staff very friendly and the food was excellent. Best regards, Wayne
Wayne, Mallorca Autumn 2021
Hi, Just a quick note to say thank you for 9 great days out in Mallorca recently. Really enjoyed both hotels stay, particularly the Playa Mar in Puerto Pollenca which I will definitely return to for another cycling trip in the not to distant future hopefully. I big thank you to all Stuart Hall staff who’s local knowledge and experience is invaluable. Found the whole trip great value for money. And met some great people. Trying to persuade friends to come out next time with me. Once again really enjoyed. Cheers Andrew
Andrew, Mallorca Autumn 2021
Thoroughly enjoyed it. Can’t think of any ways to improve on what it sets out to be. And it’s my second ride with SHC, and in Majorca - there’s a good reason for that! It’s a great format. Thank you. SHC service absolutely faultless. As a minimum it takes the organisational hassle out of booking, but more importantly provides an oasis of like-minded people and unsurpassable local knowledge of roads, restaurants etc. Yes, definitely will be back again. May also try SHC in other places too! Angus
Angus, Mallorca Autumn 2021
Dear Stuart, I was very impressed with the organisation of the holiday and the standard of the hotel. All the staff were friendly and helpful. They were persistent in dealing with a small niggle on the bike that I hired. The rides were well described and supervised. I was particularly impressed when the ride in the mountains was changed to a flat ride for safety’s sake when it started to rain. I thoroughly enjoyed the holiday and would return in the future. Cheers David
David, Mallorca Autumn 2021
Booked for October m312 at very short notice. Helen and the team were outstanding at organising everything and fitting me in with their group. Bike rental is good value. Good bikes, good kit. Great value at £490 for 4 nights plus m312 entry and transfer. Condesa hotel was ideal for this event. Thanks Kenny
Kenny, Mallorca 312 2021
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
Jean, Mallorca Autumn 2021
Hi, Having recently returned from my cycling holiday with you , I would like to congratulate you & your staff on a great week. Hotel quality & staff excellent, rides &leaders first class. Thanks Peter
Peter, Mallorca Autumn 2021
Hi! Cycling in Mallorca is always the highlight of my cycling calendar. Since Carl encouraged me to join up with Croston a couple of years ago it’s been the thing I look forward to each year. The holiday and in particular the rides are great fun, and the Stuart Hall ride leaders are always supportive and interested in how you feel and what your looking to achieve each day. I can’t think of anything that could be either different or improved: the holiday is very enjoyable, the hotels and staff are fab, the cycling is sometimes challenging but it’s always fun and the weather is great.. What’s not to like?!! Thanks for another great holiday - I’m now looking forward to the next one. Might do 2 next year if the funds allow! Kind regards, Rich
Richard, Mallorca Autumn 2021
Hello Stuart, I want to say a big thank you for another brilliant cycling holiday. It is also worth mentioning the flexible approach you took in allowing me to use my credit caused because of the pandemic at any time that suited me and in that I am really grateful - thankyou. I spent the days cycling with guides: Ed, Wayne and Phil and I must say these guys are a pleasure to cycle with. These genuine, down to earth guys always have a smile on their face and just as important I felt safe in their company cycling around town.... I look forward to cycling with these guys again soon. It really does feel like a big cycling family and having our evening meal together in the hotel is another thumbs up. I would have loved to have stayed longer than the 6 nights but it is currently difficult due to work commitments - another time. It was also really nice to see you. Thank you Mario
Mario, Mallorca Autumn 2021
Hi Stuart / Helen Many thanks for a very enjoyable trip in Mallorca as always. Coming on my own was very rewarding in meeting so many interesting and varied individuals, including some who live very close to me on Hayling Island and ride for Clubs that I know well. Trips would not be so enjoyable without the time and effort that you both put in to ensure that everybody has a good time. From being picked up at the Airport, the welcome briefing, the Playa Mar Hotel, the routes and of course, Wayne, Simon & Ed for their enthusiasm, encouragement and local knowledge all helps contribute to a winning formula. I was surprised by just how many people had previous experience of a Stuart Hall trip, which is always reassuring so you must be doing things in the right way. I look forward to my June 2022 Dolomites trip and will plan to return again to Mallorca in October 2022, hopefully with my non cycling family (wife, daughter & son-in-law) who are eager to sample all that the Playa Mar has to offer, while I spend the day out cycling. Many thanks once again. Best regards Jamie
Jamie, Mallorca Autumn 2021
Dear Stuart, Many thanks for your message. Another great trip which I thoroughly enjoyed. It is good to see things are picking up again for you. Wayne and Ed were excellent as ever and I felt very well looked after. I am hoping to get out again at the end of April beginning of May 2022. Best wishes James
James, Mallorca Autumn 2021
Dear Stuart, Helen and Jenny, Just a note of thanks for facilitating a fabulous few days cycling in Majorca. The communication and flexibility of your company is excellent and most appreciated in these Covid (challenging) times. Mar Senses is a lovely hotel; clean, great food and helpful staff. Your team were very welcoming and professional - Ed’s technical expertise, Simon’s extensive cycling knowledge and empathy for the non-pro rider and Wayne’s friendly company at meal times! You were highly recommended to us (by my brother-in-law) and we will certainly be spreading the word to our cycling friends. We are already missing the sun, sea and spectacular cycling and will do all we can to return again next year. We wish you well with the autumn season now that restrictions are being lifted further. Warm regards, Katherine and Liz
Katherine and Liz, Mallorca Autumn 2021
Hi Stuart, I hope you are enjoying your week back home in Mallorca. Thanks again for guiding us through the Alps last week and looking after all the logistics involved. We couldn’t have done it without you and everything was laid out to perfection. The hotels were lovely & the food & company was great. A big thank you to Ian also for being so helpful all week. The climbs themselves were breathtaking and I have never enjoyed anything like it, the scenery was so stunning it was beyond description. I am already looking forward to going back again at some stage and I will certainly be recommending Stuart Hall Cycling to anybody thinking of doing Raid Alpine. See you in Spring 2022 all going well. Best regards, Tomás
Tomás, Raid Alpine 2021
Hi Stuart, I would like to thank you very much for an epic cycle across the Alps last week. I'm not sure if it has actually sunk in yet what I completely but no doubt in the coming weeks it will. The Stuart Hall Raid Alpine is a fantastic adventure, taking in the iconic climbs that we watch the Pros contest on year after year. I often dreamed about doing one of the climbs, but to do so many in the week is incredible. The advice offered by you and Ian each day was invaluable, and my climbing technique improved as the week progressed. We were well looked after on the road with excellent lunch breaks, and the hotels for our overnight stays in the various ski resorts were full of character. I could not speak more highly of this event and of your organisation, suffice to say that I look forward to doing it again with you in the coming years, Thank you again for everything, Mike
Mike, Raid Alpine 2021
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
Mark & Rachel, Mallorca Autumn 2021
Dear Stuart, You beat me to it as I stayed an extra day in Inverness and my first job after returning was to write and complement you on a well organised trip. It was all a superb experience with hotels well placed with regard to distance, restaurants close by and magnificent catering en-route. Each morning we had a briefing and a general indication of where the breaks would be. Lo and behold as the days unfolded there they were. Ed and Phil were excellent as ride leaders as it is not easy to manage a disparate group with differing needs. Especially as the age range went from 22 to 71 (me) with each of us having our own individual pace. My complements to a well organised and well administered ride. A few of us are considering your Majorca trips and we are talking about the ‘Coast to Coast’ for next year. Regards John
John, Lejog 2021
Dear Stuart and Helen, Thank you for a very enjoyable cycling holiday. Myself and my friends (The Rambling Roses) thoroughly enjoyed our holiday with you. Special mention needs to go to your team, Mark, Phil and Ed not forgetting Jenny too for their organisation, good humoured help and effective support. This was my fourth holiday with you and there is no doubt I will be back for more as soon as I can make time for another cycling holiday. I hope to see you soon, thank you. Mike
Mike, Coast to Coast 2021
I struck gold this week with you lot, thanks for brilliant trip
Nigel, Raid Pyrenees 2021
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!
Linda, Coast to Coast 2021
Dear Stuart Re the recent C2C ride. I thoroughly enjoyed this trip and had a great three days riding. Phil, Ed and Mark were fantastic in every way - organising everything so we didn't have to do anything apart from cycle. They were always on hand to transport day bags, provide drinks and motivation, and make sure everything happened when it need to. The route was stunning although harder than I expected - but I have ridden in the south of England for most of my life and underestimated the climbs of the Lake District and the North York Moors! Luckily I had enough gears so coped OK. The first hill out of Whitehaven was a complete shock though as a 17% climb in the first mile was unexpected and none of us was warmed up. Maybe there is another route out of town? Apart from that the cycling was fine. The GPX files that I downloaded to my Garmin worked perfectly so there was no risk of getting lost. I look forward to riding with you again sometime. Kind regards Mark
Mark, Coast to Coast 2021
Wonderful to spend time with you all, great leadership, great camaraderie, great ride! Let’s definitely do it again!!
Jeff, Coast to Coast 2021
Thank you to for the great organisation and fantastic ride and great company
Gino, Coast to Coast 2021
Thank you everyone for a great trip. It was really enjoyable and the great company made the hills manageable. Maybe somewhere flat next.
Donna, Coast to Coast 2021
Thank you Phil, Mark, Ed and the lovely Jeff for all your support and encouragement over the last 3 days. I have learned so much, met such an amazing group of people from all over the country and watched some very determined riders climb some horrendous mountains. Good luck everyone. Hope to see you all again soon, but I will be at the front next next . Take lots of care everyone xxxx
Michelle, Coast to Coast 2021
Thanks for all your help and encouragement. Great trip full of memories. See you in Majorca.
John, Lejog 2021
Thanks everyone for a great LEJOG experience, especially to Ed and Phil for the great support! It was nice to meet you all, and, being a solo booking, feeling so welcome within the group. 😊😁
Kevin, Lejog 2021
Hope everyone has a safe trip back, thank you so much to Ed and Phil for being such amazing guides and thank you to everyone else for being so lovely and looking after me for the whole trip, it’s been the best experience!
Chloe, Lejog 2021
Cheers Stuart , great week with Ed and Phil , weather was kind for Uk and Scotland brought the sunshine ! But , see you in Mallorca next time 👍

2020 Testimonials

Review Whitehaven to Whitby Coast to Coast September 2020. Thanks for organising such a fantastic ride taking in the lake District, the Pennines and the North Yorkshire Moors. The route was great; the scenery spectacular; the café stops excellent; the hotels great (especially the one at Trenholme Bar); the support provided by Ben and Mark was brilliant. To have been able to organise and run it, given the Covid 19 constraints, was amazing. I would definitely recommend this trip. I even got the chance to test my eyesight at Barnard Castle! Thanks Lynne
Lynne, Coast to Coast 2020
Good Morning Stuart, I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank, you & your team in Porta de Pollenca for a brilliant weeks cycling. Your team of Wayne, Ed, Aaron & Chrissy, could not have been more accommodating if they tried. Myself and Dave had a fantastic time & definitely will be booking in the new year to come back out. Once again thank you. Regards Stuart
Stuart, Mallorca Oct 2020
Hi Helen and Stuart What a fantastic cycling trip! The accommodation was perfect - a lovely family-run hotel, which the Italians appear to do especially well (the place we go to with my bike club in Cesenatico is similar). The food was fantastic and Covid-19 awareness/adherence within the hotel was as a good as it could be. The scenery was stunning! The group of customers were great and we all seemed to get along, but the guidance/support from Stuart Hall Cycling was simply excellent. Ian was great (as usual) and was always there when you needed him. Aaron was a welcome bundle of young energy and I think that everyone enjoyed his presence/support. Ed was simply outstanding. He really was. He guided and marshalled everyone in a very effective way throughout the trip, but also carried out repairs on quite a number of bikes (mine included). Nothing was too much trouble for him and he carried everything off with unassuming good grace. You have a real star on your hands. Personally, I would probably have enjoyed the end of several of the harder rides a little bit more had I been lighter and fitter, but to get away on a cycling trip in the current circumstances was amazing, so thanks very much to the both of you. What's up next Helen? Best wishes David
David, Dolomites 2020
Dear Helen, I am writing to firstly say thank you for getting the Dolomites trip organised in the face of adversity; although the climbs were still tough (I told myself it was cooler than last year so should be ‘easier’), I had a great time. The group was brilliant. I’ve made some new friends who along with old friends I hope to see on future trips. Secondly, Lorenzo and his staff once again did us proud with a warm welcome, comfortable clean rooms, superb homemade food and a well-stocked bar! The taxi drivers were friendly and arrived early on which took the stress away. Finally, I want to say how impressed I was with Ed’s leadership and organisation. Not an easy task for a young man with some ‘old and not so old bulls’ in the group. Ed handled the group with aplomb, allowing the stronger ones their head and encouraging those at the back to keep going. What an asset. Ian was his usual supportive, calm self and was like the shopkeeper in Mr Ben magically appearing at the side of the road in all the right places with support and loads of water. Arran was great on those difficult moments on the climbs, and we had a couple of in jokes between us. All in all another fantastic trip and I hope to be on the Corsica trip next year! Best wishes Catherine
Catherine, Dolomites 2020
Hi Helen – well done, that was a really good trip thanks! Nice hotel, great routes, Ed and Ian were excellent. All the logistics worked smoothly. Such a relief to get away! Keith
Keith, Dolomites 2020
Thanks for arranging such a good trip to the Dolomites. It was a great group and a super location with dramatic scenery everywhere you looked. The cycling was challenging, the hotel friendly and Ed, Aaron and Ian looked after us really well. I’d recommend it to anyone.
Andy, Dolomites 2020
Hi Helen Thank you so much for the absolute no hassle way with which you have dealt with the covid cancellations. I'm so glad that the Dolomites trip happened and we managed to have an amazing holiday safely and with such a great bunch of riders. Very typical of a Stuart Hall holiday. A special thanks to Ed for leading the group. He was a very supportive and knowledgeable lead and made the holiday even more enjoyable with his relaxed and approachable manner. I'm really looking forward to coming out with you guys again and I'm keeping my fingers crossed for 2021. Hope you, Stuart and the team are all keeping well BW Farhan
Farhan, Dolomites 2020
Just completed the Lands End to John O’Groats in 9 days with Stuart Hall Cycling. Fantastic from start to finish, couldn’t recommend highly enough! The route, organisation, support, accommodation, food, and the group itself were all superb. The leaders, Ed and Ben were always there when you needed them, couldn’t have done more for everyone and made sure we were all safe and well catered for. If you’re thinking about a cycling adventure, this is the place to start! Looking forward to the next time! 👍Alastair Stewart
Alastair, Lejog 2020
Hi Stuart. I just wanted to thank you and your brilliant team for facilitating the LEJOG trip. It was a trully amazing experience. The challenge and the sense of achievement were fantastic. Ben and Ed were excellent guides. The group was lovely. I certainly won't forget my 50th. A superb trip Stuart. Thank you 😀 I tagged Stuart Hall Cycling on my facebook comment re the trip but do let me know if there's anywhere else I can post a review for you. I know others would happily do the same. Hope all going well in Mallorca and fingers crossed we'll be able to make it back there in the spring 😀Karen
Karen, Lejog 2020
Hi Stuart. Hope your trip to Mallorca is going well. I am on the train back to Leeds after an incredible experience thanks to you and your team. Thank you. This journey meant a lot to me for different reasons, but it was a real quality trip. Ben and Ed did a fantastic job and were great company too. The hotels were good and the food also with the meals on the last and penultimate nights absolutely exceptional. I will certainly recommend you and may well join you again. My thanks also for pointing out my saddle height was wrong and helping me sort it. The saddle sores may well already have been started by the time we got it lowered but the difference it made to relieving pain in my hips and lower back was remarkable. Best of luck with your move to the Balearics and thanks again.
Grant, Lejog 2020
Many thanks Jenny that's great. I would also just like to say that of all the companies I've dealt with for holidays, Stuart Hall are by far the most friendly, accommodating and understanding. Hopefully as things get back to some normality the approach you have taken during the pandemic will only enhance your reputation amongst the cycling community. I've also been following on Facebook the exploits of those taking part in the LEJOG, Coast to Coast and Dolomites:) Kind regards Brian
Brian, Mallorca Oct 2020
Hi Jenny We were on the Spring Break in Majorca with Stuart Hall Cycling, when everything changed and lockdown began. We hope everyone is managing in these tricky times, we would also like to thank you for a fabulous holiday and all of your help in managing our last days in difficult moments with flight cancellations. Please find attached some marvellous memories, which shows the holiday is not just about cycling. When we start looking towards normal again, although we are uncertain what normal will be ? We do hope we can come back to Majorca with Stuart Hall Cycling. Kind Regards and Stay Safe Sally

Hi Stuart, l would like to send on a big thanks from all the lads for all your help in getting our money back. We are so disappointed that our trip had to be cancelled as we were all training so hard for it and we were all looking forward to it. We all hope that we can arrange another trip in the future and hopefully we can get a few more to tag along. One thing that we are all agreeing on is that when we do arrange another date that suits us all we will definitely be booking it with you. We would like to wish you all the best in these difficult times and hopefully when these restrictions are lifted you will be back bigger and stronger than ever before. Go luck and thanks again Adrian

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
Brian, spring 2020
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

Stuart, I think I speak for all of our group when I say thank you very much for your quick response in refunding the payments. We look forward to better days ahead when with certainty we can look at re-booking with you. I'd like to think that this will be in the autumn, however only time will tell. Thanks again, Mike

Hi Stuart Just to say thanks for sorting out the refunds for me and my group of gentlemen cyclists! It is good of you to do this in these difficult times - and it will very much enhance your reputation We were entered into a Birmingham - Cov veto event and paid c55 each - they cancelled and did not refund a penny! Never book with them again! We look forward to signing up again with you very soon With kind regards Mark

Dear Jenny Thanks you very much for your recent emails, I have been very impressed with your proactive and balanced approach to this whole crisis. I will definitely look to book with you in the future, but for my current booking I would like an Option 5 refund to my Credit Card Ian
Ian, spring 2020
Hi Stuart and Jenny, I just wanted to say thank you for the refund for our cancelled trip to Mallorca. We have been trying to recover the monies via our insurance policies but have been experiencing a negative response. We are, therefore, very appreciative of your understanding despite the obvious financial implications for your company. Your cycle holidays are a unique experience and will be welcome change from the isolation that we are currently experiencing once a vaccine or a viable means of managing the virus have been found. I wish you well and sincerely hope that some time in the future we will be able join you in Mallorca. Kind Regards David
David, spring 2020
Hi Jenny Thanks for your communication which has been excellent all along. It’s such a shame as this would have been my third spring training camp with you. At the moment my wife and I are not sure of our availability in September or October, so could we have a refund please? If we are free to book in the autumn then we’ll do it nearer the time. Rest assured it will be with Stuart Hall Cycling. I wish your company all the best at this difficult time. Best regards David
David, spring 2020
Dear Jenny Thank you for the update. I'm sure this is a difficult time for you all . I do hope you are able to weather the storm. Cycling in Mallorca with Stuart has been my little bit of heaven for the last 5 years or so . I still have fingers crossed that my trip will go ahead on 25th April but if it doesn't we will of course be happy to transfer to another date. Thank you to Stuart and the team,let's hope it's only a 2 week shut down Kind regards Elizabeth and Paul
Elizabeth & Paul, spring 2020
Hi Jenny Thanks for the update in what must be really challenging times for Stuart Hall Cycling.

Danny, spring 2020
Dear Stuart. So sorry that you, a fair minded guy, have been so affected by this terrible virus. Who could ever had imagined the terrible death and economic damage this is causing. Just hoping that coming into the summer the virus will subdue in its potency. Life sometimes can be so unfair and I am just hoping that Helen and yourself can turn this around. Take care and best of luck. Peter

Thanks Stuart for yet another great holiday. Lovely hotel with great food. The bikes were excellent and the weather fantastic. Your leaders/mechanics were very friendly and helpful. See you in the spring.
Muriel & Tony, Mallorca Oct 2019
Hi Stuart, Just wanted to send you a quick note of gratitude for a great weeks holidays last week. We had an excellent week last week which was enhanced by the great organization and people of Stuart Hall Cycling Holidays. As an employer myself I know the importance of having great people representing you and you have a great team. I particularly want to thank John who is an absolute gentleman and a great ambassador to have, I really enjoyed his company even at night when he wasn’t on company time. He made time every night to have a chat, his knowledge of bikes and cycling is second to none. He also went beyond the call of duty in the help & guidance he gave us when purchasing our new bikes last Thursday. I bought a bike that is perfect for me and I will enjoy cycling it for years to come thanks to the help of John. I wish you and your team every success in the future and am looking forward to returning to Stuart Hall Cycling Holidays for another great week in Spring 2020. Thanks again, kind regards,
Rodney, Mallorca Oct 2019
Had a fab time in Mallorca in October. Great rides, out of the comfort zone, though really supportive team. Will be back in May.
Steve, Mallorca Oct 2029
My husband, Jason and myself had a great trip with you this October. Our third time over and each time gets better. The rides were brilliant, offering a great mixture of flats and mountains. We also enjoyed some longer rides being put in the mix, both participating in the 100miler. Although, you always have to account for Bens added 10% making it up to 114! Very enjoyable day!! All the leaders were very approachable, with Wayne making lots of our rides great fun and accommodating, enjoying a few chain gang efforts! It was our first time too booking on to the Andratx trip and it certainly didn’t disappoint! Stunning ride with breath taking views and great company! One we will definitely do again. It may of even temped us to take part in the 312 next year? I have attached some photos for your gallery to choose if you’d like. We look forward to booking our next visit next year! Many thanks Ros
Ros, Mallorca Oct 2019
I had a great time thanks.. I booked as part of the Croston Vélo Cycling Club having been encouraged to come out by my friend and ski colleague Carl. I'm kicking myself that I never came out before. The hotel, food, location and company are all fantastic, and the cycling routes and Ride Leaders are all brill too. We road the iconic climbs and raced around the lanes. It's going to be 2 weeks next time, without doubt, so I get a rest day in the middle! Cheers and I'm already looking forward to the next camp.
Richard, Mallorca Oct 2019
Thanks as ever for an awesome trip and some great cycling 👍

Nigel, Mallorca Oct 2019
The riding was incredible, I’ll be back with you next autumn. The hotel was good,the food was exceptional for a 4 star. The ride leaders were fantastic – special mention for Sue, she was so supportive and considered and she was great fun. Dave was incredible, I really enjoyed his experience and company. And young Aaron was full of beans, it was nice to have him around, we had some fun too, racing on the way home. I loved the meet and greet lady, sorry, I didn’t catch her name, but she was delightful. Finally, Ben (I think that was his name?) he seemed to be in charge. He went out of his way to take on our route requests and the one day I rode with him, he was great company.
Chris, Mallorca Sept 2019
Thanks Stuart. We've had a fab few days and will definitely be back! Great people, great rides and lots of fun.
Kathy, Mallorca Sept 2019
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!
David, Mallorca Sept '19
Can I compliment your organisation, my entire trip was fabulous from all sides. Ben, Aaron, Sue and Dave were superbly supportive friendly and a joy to spend time with on and off the roads.
Michael, Mallorca Sept 2019
Thank you. I’ve had an incredible week. I’ll be back. Kudos to Sue. She’s been wonderful 😊
Chris, Mallorca Sept 2019
Hi Stuart, Just to say what a fantastic trip that was. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I must say that the guides and support staff were excellent and I could not fault anything with their organisation, planning and support.
Steve, Raid Pyrenees 2019
I took part on the Raid Pyrenees 2019 and thought the staff, Ivan & Ian in the vans and Ed & Dave on the bikes were first class friendly and helpful, brilliant. The course was tough but doable with some epic climbs and backup was always at hand helping riders with various problems which was so nice to know at different times in the ride.
Steve, Raid Pyrenees 2019
Hi Stuart, After a memorable week completing the Raid, I have to say I was highly impressed with the service. Starting with your staff, the professionalism, support and ability to manage a group with varied ability was excellent. Ed and Dave were fantastic guides and top blokes. Ian and Ivan provided great support throughout the week. The hotels were all clean and comfortable throughout the week, and I felt great value for the overall price of the trip. In terms of food, I would have like to have liked a bit more variety for dinner. I think we had pork and pasta for three consecutive evenings for example. In the mornings, it would have been nice to have some oats/porridge to get us prepped for the day. I love pastries (especially when in France) but it’s not the best fuel for the day. Lunch was fine. The route was spectacular and clearly eclipses the official raid route. The only suggestion I would make is regarding the final climb of day 1. It was absolutely savage and put the fear of god into the entire group for the week ahead. We all love a challenge but I think a lot of people burned far too many matches on that climb and was one for many to forget rather then celebrate as an achievement. If you can find another way around that miserable thing, I’m sure many wouldn’t be too disappointed. Overall - brilliant value, top craic and thoroughly enjoyed the week with Stuart Hall. Would definitely use you guys again. Cheers Mike
Mike, Raid Pyrenees 2019
Hi Stuart great trip with the right level of difficulty hotels and food good with no complaints from me. Ian David and Ed were superb leaders along with Ivan they went that extra mile to make it a most memorable week, having done this raid before the route ridden by us far exceeded my last experience so once again thanks and we'll done to all. All being well see you in April.
Steve, Raid Pyrenees 2019
Stuart Hall had a fantastic weekend and a big thanks to Ian Turner for his support.
Matt, Marmotte Pyrenees 2019
A big thanks to Ian and Stuart for organising and delivering such a fantastic week of cycling in the Alpes. Thanks also to Andy, Merv and Shane for your patience and good spirit, waiting at the top of each big climb. I really enjoyed the Raid Pyrenees, but have been blown away by the beauty of the different scenery of the Alpes, as well as the challenge of simply getting through each day. Great company, superb and varied overnight stops just leaves me wanting more! What’s next up? Best wishes to you all. David
David, Raid Alpine 2019
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.

Thank you for an AWESOME cycling & sipping Dolomites holiday! Each day's routes led us through spectacular surrounding with incredible challenging climbs that made the apres' cycling wine taste simply delicious! Helen, Ed & Dan were fantastic hosts/guides. And, the hotel in Cortina was the perfect home base with friendly staff and terrific food. Cheers to another super fun SHC detox to retox cycling adventure! Stefani
Stefani, Dolomites week 2019
The following are some excerpts of a (long!) club write-up done after our 2019 Dolomites trip: In late June, three of our club embarked on a once in a lifetime trip to the Italian Dolomites with Stuart Hall Cycling for a week of pleasure and pain amidst the most breath-taking landscape anywhere in Europe. […] Day 3 the day I’d been waiting for - the Sella Ronda. Six climbs and some of the most gorgeous scenery in Europe. It started with the ubiquitous Falzarego, followed by the Passo Pordoi – a long and beautiful climb to a high col surrounded by ski lifts and cable cars. But these were just the appetizers. After a bit of lunch and lots of espresso, the Passo Sella and Passo Gardena were beyond beautiful and having the roads pretty much to ourselves made it all the more memorable. You sometimes just have to stop and drink it all in, and take photos of course. These moments are what the memories are made of - I could have stayed here all week and just stared. […] So, how do I summarise our week in the Dolomites? Well, it was a week that I will never forget and I’m sure my friends will agree. The company was great and the spectacle was everything we could have imagined, if not more. I, for one, have vowed that I will return there one day. If any of you are inspired to follow in our footsteps, do so without hesitation. I guarantee that you will not be disappointed!
John, Dolomites Week 2019
I knew I was going to love my time in the Dolomites, but what I didn't expect was to actually fall in love with the Dolomites. Think, falling in love with the 70's Sophie Loren, for those old enough to remember, so as you can imagine all I can think about is rekindling that memorable romance with those majestic peaks, that glorious food, those wonderful people.
Mani, Dolomites Week 2019
Just to say thank you for a brilliant trip to the Dolomites! stunning scenery , incredible riding, hotel & food & of course great company. Special thanks to Helen,Dan & Ed for looking after us all so well & for organising a wonderful week of weather! Can‘t wait to do it again ( when I've recovered!)
Dolomites week, 2019
Hi there, Thank you for such an amazing cycling experience in the Dolomites. I can't praise it enough. Helen, Dan and Ed were excellent - friendly, well organised, helpful and v. efficient. The Hotel Bellaria was superb. Lorenzo & his team were so hospitable; the food was incredible - really good cycling fayre. We were even treated to pizza, pastries, sandwiches when we arrived back from our tough rides - a lovely touch. We were lucky with such fantastic hot sunny weather & the scenery was absolutely stunning. Cortina was a great town to be based in. I would really recommend this cycling experience; the cycling was certainly tough especially in those soaring temperatures but well worth it for the views and the great descending. I would definitely recommend a 32 rear cassette and some pre-knowledge about the traffic (some quite fast motorcycles, sports cars and lots of coaches) Thanks once again.
Ken, Dolomites week 2019
Just wanted to say that I had a really good couple of days. Lost a day with rain so made sure the all inclusive bar was working well had a great ride with the guys on the Orient 80 miles! We a great steady pace as I'm not fast by any means and was a bit worried I wouldn't keep up but no problem. Thoroughly enjoyed it and can't wait to go again! Lush hotel and food. Great friendly people super bikes and location. Karen
Karen, Mallorca May 2019
Just wanted to say a quick thank you for last week. It was my first cycling holiday didn’t know what to expect. Had a brilliant time and really well looked after by all the support crew and riders Ed, Ben, Wayne, Dan, Arran and Helen. Already looking forward to getting out again next year, although talk on the group whattsapp is a trip in October. Hopefully those that joined us in the rustic café on Friday night weren’t too hungover!
Peter, Mallorca May 2019
Just returned from a 3 day stint in Mallorca with Stuart Hall and got to say everything was 1st class, hotel, location, weather and the cycling, special shout out to Martin Carter for bringing up the rear on Sam's magical mystery tours. Michael
Michael, Mallorca May 2019
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.

Hi Jenny and Stuart, I just wanted to say on behalf of Mark, Lincoln, the group and myself a big thank you for an amazing week’s cycling. We had a brilliant week, even if the weather was a bit windy for the last 2 days! Thank you to Dave, he was a great asset and understood the intricacies of our group and how they approach their rides. Dave was very complimentary towards our guys and how they have grown in confidence since last year. Stef was lovely and she got us very quickly! It was great to see her beat the boys on a managed hill climb!😂 Majorca,I think has become a permanent fixture on our calendar! Thank you for offering us the ‘all inclusive’ option that worked very well and I think that it proved very cost effective! The hotel was as good as last year as was the food! The hire bikes were excellent. Thank you very much for giving the guys Dream bikes. Ben J especially enjoyed riding his and how it enhanced his cycling. Thank you also for repairing Stefan’s mid week and for helping making Leanne’s cycling a little easier by adjusting her gearing. The transfers to and from the airport were excellent this year with plenty of space for us and a great trailer for the bikes - thank you. As I say another fantastic week was had by everyone and we look forward to challenging ourselves again in 2020.
Specials Olympics Group, Mallorca Apr 2019
I had a fantastic trip and honestly I couldn’t fault anything. The 2 ride leaders - Ed and Martin were excellent please pass my compliments onto them also. I will definitely be coming back.
Joe, Mallorca May 2019
Morning Jenny Just a quick email to thank all of the Stuart Hall team for a fantastic week at Playa Mar. The 26 of us from Fareham Wheelers had a very enjoyable time and for those of us for whom it was a first visit, were hugely impressed. We could not fault the Hotel with the accommodation and food of excellent quality and quantity. The variety of rides each day helped us plan our itinerary from the tough days of Sa Calobra and Andratx to the flatter rides of Algaidia and Montuiri. Andratx for me was one of the best day’s cycling that I have ever experienced. We are very grateful to the Stuart Hall team for guiding us each day and for making the week so enjoyable. We are hopeful of being back again next year.
Fareham Wheelers, Mallorca Apr 2019
Thank you for a great time at your Mallorca Training Camp. Hotel was beyond expectations, except for the food. There was too much variety, it was too well presented and there was too much! The rides were well organised with plenty of variety and choices of difficulty. Please also pass on my thanks to the bike mechanics, without their assistance my activities would have been considerably reduced. However, overnight repairs by them had my bike running sweetly for the ride next day. If I can find a slot in my diary I will definitely be back again for another trip this year.
Peter, Mallorca Apr 2019
Thanks Stuart . We've had a great trip . The rides were excellent and bike was fab . Location just beautiful.
Steph and Eiko, Mallorca Apr 2019
A fabulous week, thanks for your and your team’s attention to all our needs. Accommodation, bikes, service all brilliant.
James, Mallorca Apr 2019
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
Phil, Mallorca Apr 2019
Hi Stuart, I would just like to say thank you to you and your team for our trips in March and April. They must have worked as I qualified comfortably for the worlds in Poland later this year. It proves that you don't always need to be going out in the fast group. Thanks again, Nigel and Wendy
Nigel, Mallorca Apr 2019
Having an amazing time. I will be back.
Pete, Mallorca Apr 2019
Hi Stuart, Jenny Just wanted to drop you a quick line, after my Recent trip out to Majorca Fri 19th – 28th Sun It’s as ever been a wonderful trip, apart from the 2 days rain, But the rides and company have been absolutely wonderful. But more importantly, I want to say a massive thank you to Wayne, who I rode with every day, The guy is a star, and has kept us informed, entertained, and more importantly safe, 10 out of 10 marks for him, I hope you keep him working for you for years to come… Was really chuffed as an added bonus, he drove us to the Airport, Result.
Richard, Mallorca Apr 2019
Hi Jenny Thanks a million, our trip was perfect. This was our third time and we are already planning our club trip for next Easter. Thanks a million Carol
Carol, Mallorca April 2019

Wendy, Mallorca April 2019

Fabulous week of cycling in Majorca with Stuart Hall. Great team of people, great food and great craic. 435 miles cycled and 21,000 ft climbed in 7 days. Home tomorrow for a rest!! Anne
Anne, Mallorca April 2019
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
Julia, Mallorca April 2019
Hi Stuart, Just wanted to send a quick email to say thanks very much for a great training camp. I had a great time and thought the organisation, ride leaders, accommodation and food was spot on! Thanks again - I hope the rest of your year goes well and hopefully see you again next year. Kind regards, Abby
Abby, Mallorca April 2019
Just came back from my third trip with Stuart Hall Cycling. 450 miles and 26,896 feet of climbing over six days of riding - best week yet! Dan was amazing and patient w the bike fit, and kudos to Ben for putting up with kvetching about tired legs. Already looking forward to next year! Gabby
Gabby, Mallorca April 2019
Thank you to Stuart Hall and the guides and helping to make it another amazing trip cycling in Majorca. Missing you already, see you in October. Siobhan
Siobhan, Mallorca April 2019
Hi Stuart, I just wanted to pass on my thanks to all you team. I had never been on a cycle holiday before and was a little bit concerned at riding in a group and keeping up etc. You have such a professional set up. From Helen who whilst cycling behind noticed my gears weren’t changing properly, Simon who told me to drop my saddle a few cm. Wayne an awesome guide. Dan whose expertise in the bike shop tuned up the gears. Ed who could tell I was knackered on my last ride kept me in the group on the last hills. I would definitely recommend your organisation to anyone and ( after a bit of hill training ! ) I’ll be back. Regards Alan
Alan, Mallorca March 2019
Stuart Thanks for your help in arranging my wife's pickup at short notice. Just a quick note to sing the praises of Ed, your new ride leader. Had 3 rides with him and he was really good on all aspects. As you know the ride leaders make a difference to your holiday, and Ed was first class. Ben was also very good. Thanks again for a good week. Thinking of booking in October already.
Mark, Mallorca Mar 2019
Hi Stuart, I wanted to drop you a note having just gotten back late last night. Too often we are great at picking fault in things and not quick enough to dish out praise when it is due, and I have to say that Rich and I had an absolutely awesome time away with you and your team last week. The hotel was great, the rides were brilliant and the leaders were lovely. We both met some great people out on the bikes and in the bar afterwards. I only took up cycling 18 months ago and i surprised myself over the holiday how far/hard i could actually push myself. Please pass on our praise and thanks to everyone, and I have already shared my great experience with the club guys who are coming out over Easter. I really hope to be able to come again next year. Thanks again Marc and Rich
Marc & Rich, Mallorca March 2019
Stuart, Simon here, we have had a great holiday largely due to your excellent resort team and organisation. Wayne has imparted knowledge that has been incredibly helpful in overcoming some issues I had on the bike and I return home a better rider. The rides have been superb too and I will definitely return in the future and pass you on to my friends as a recommended outfit. Many thanks Simon
Simon, Mallorca March 2019
Dear Stuart/Jenny/All, As always my Stuart Hall Mallorcan Cycling trip was fantastic. Always out of my comfort zone so always delighted with myself for getting through the day. Five days with you and ten days to recover. Perhaps I should start training more in between… Good luck with everything and will probably see you all next year.
Claire, Mallorca March 2019
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.
John, Mallorca Feb 2019
Dear Stuart. I have returned home after a week cycling with your team in Mallorca. I had a great time and would like to thank all the team that looked after me. They were all very helpful and encouraging. Both hotels were very nice with plenty of vegetarian options on the buffet. It was my first time to Mallorca and with you, I look forward to come back next year. Mike
Mike, Mallorca Feb 2019

2018 Testimonials

Great time in Mallorca cycling with Stuart Hall, enjoyed going fast (for me), sunshine and storms, and meeting lots of characters!
Joanne, Mallorca Oct '18
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!
Lucy, Mallorca Oct '18
My wife and I were with SHC in early October. I have been twice previously, however, this was my wife's first experience with Stuart Hall. She absolutely loved it, from being picked up at the airport, the room. food, cycling, guides, fellow cyclists, hotel staff and the resort of Port de Pollenca itself everything was great. We are definitely planning to return and would recommend SHC if you are planning a cycling trip to Mallorca. Thanks again Stuart and staff. Best wishes Stephen & Margaret
Stephen & Margaret, Mallorca Oct '18
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.
James, Mallorca Oct '18
We've just returned from another great week with Stuart Hall Cycling in Mallorca. Once again, we've had some great rides and met some great people. The highlight of the week was the Andratx to Pollensa ride (Thanks to Stuart for organising it and having riders en-route to check that we were OK). It was great riding with you all again...Until the next time, all the best! Wayne
Wayne, Mallorca Oct '18
Thank you Stuart Hall for a super week of cycling and great craic. See you again in April. I was sorry to leave Puerto Pollença.
Anne, Mallorca October '18
Hi Stuart, I missed you before I left today but just wanted to say thanks for a great week. I really enjoyed it, the rain was even an experience in itself. It was my first organised cycle holiday and was travelling alone but it was made so easy and everyone working for you made me very welcome and I met so great people to ride with amongst your other guests too. Hopefully see you in May. Emma
Emma, Mallorca October '18
Hey Stuart, I really enjoyed my week riding with your groups. The ride leaders were great! Challenging rides, recovery rides, good pace and safe!
Blair, Mallorca October '18
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.
Stuart, Mallorca Sept '18
Thanks for a really good week. Great rides, top guides, nice hotel and good company.
Chris, Mallorca Sept '18
Great few days of cycling. Enjoyed all of them, slow and fast. You have a great group of guides there.
Matt, Mallorca Sept '18
Dear Stuart Hall Cycling, I had an amazing Tour de France trip & enjoyed every minute. Stuart's knowledge was invaluable & made the trip special. Seeing each stage from different points each day was great & Stuart's ability to change plans due to road closures made sure we got the best view each day. The accommodation was clean & comfortable, not luxury but good for the price, breakfast basic, we ate out for dinner & the food was great. I would love to see more of the Tour another time.
Claire, Alps & Tour de France, July 2018
Hi Jenny, Just to let you know that The Alpine Raid was the greatest experience I have ever had on two wheels it all went better than expected. The climbs were hard but being on the same roads that the tdf uses made it extra special. The hotel stops were great and living out of my bags was a new experience but made me much more organised and tidy. I knew most of the riders from Mallorca and those I didn't know we soon understood each other on the Cols. The last ride down into Nice was magical fast descent and then the ride along the seafront. I grabbed a beer after a quick swim in the sea then back to the hotel for a well earned shower.
Phil, Raid Alpine 2018
My thanks to SHC and crew for a great week of cycling. I just returned from the Raid Alpine. It was stupendous. The climbs, two to three Cols per day, were awesome; the descents thrilling and never ending. Unbelievable, really. As an example, from the top of the Galibier, we rode 60 kilometres downhill to the Alpe d'Huez climb. I kept looking at my Garmin - 30 kms, then 40, then 50, and finally 60 kms. How does that happen. Who cares; it did and it was so much fun. And, that was only one of many such descents. In fact, if you'd been a kid, with a pocket full of quarters at a Midway amusement fair, where the rides were only a nickle a piece, you would not have had more fun. Exhilarating is insufficient to express the feeling of flying down the Cols to the next climb. If you're thinking about riding the Raid Alpine, do it. The alpine scenery is breathtaking; and, SHC and crew are excellent hosts and guides. Not to be missed.
Harold, Raid Alpine 2018
Epic trip! The ride of a lifetime for me. It’s still sinking in what I did. Brilliant organisation and support from Ian, Helen, Ivor and Stu.
Catherine, Raid Alpine 2018
Hey Helen & Stu! You guys rock! Thanks for a super fun trip! And, thanks too to Ian and Ivor, who were terrific. It was great to spend time with you guys and the gang detoxing & retoxing! Have great rest of the summer and look forward to seeing you in October! xox, Stefani
Stefani, Raid Alpine 2018
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
Paul, Marmotte 2018
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.
Ian, Marmotte 2018
A HUGE thank you for kicking off my training for the Maratona dles Dolomites so effectively. I was coming off zero training with less than 3 months to go. The holiday in Majorca was just what I needed. Friendly, relaxed Stuart Hall team, beautiful routes, great tips from Stuart on cycling technique during rides, fantastic pre-breakfast core sessions...AND...I bought my awesome Cervelo second hand through Stuart, too! I have completely fallen back in love with cycling and can't thank you enough. Chapeau!
Louisa, Mallorca May 2018
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!
Stephen, Mallorca May 2018
Hi Stuart, just back from cycling in Mallorca where i joined your group for the drop in cycles a few days. Many thanks, i thoroughly enjoyed my cycles and found it easy to join and very well organised. I will be back next year without a doubt.
Mallorca May 2018
Hi Jenny Just a quick note to say we had a great time on our cycling holiday and loved our stay at the Mar Senses hotel. We’d also like to say a big thank you to you for all the help and support, also arranging our transport to Palma and to Dave for our excellent guided tours. Best wishes Mary and Michael Jamie and Mandy
Mary, Michael, Jamie and Mandy, Mallorca May 2018
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
Lucy, Mallorca May 18
Hi Stuart. Everyone back from Majorca now from the CLEAT doctors group. We had a great time and were very impressed with your staff. Would be keen for another next year.
Lawrence, Mallorca May 18
Hi Stuart Just a quick note to say thank you very much for our recent trip to Mallorca. It was perfect. The hotel was great, couldn’t have asked for better. Jon enjoyed the ride.....very proud of him! He is looking forward to the Marmotte now! Thanks so much for all of your help, greatly appreciated! Only wished we had booked for longer! Nicky
Nicky, Mallorca 312 Apr 18
Just a quick note (now I am back in Durango, Colorado) - I had an awesome, awesome time. Your staff and the hotel staff were just great. I will certainly recommend your tour company to all my Colorado friends. First class operation. Special thanks to Stuart and Julie for helping find my lost luggage and loaning a few items so I could ride. Thanks to all for great time. Steve
Steve, Mallorca Apr 18
Hi Stuart, Just a quick email to say thanks to you and your team. You and your team delivered excellent customer service – 5* I thoroughly enjoyed the whole “Stuart Hall” experience during my recent trip to Majorca and I am already looking forward to your Raid Pyrenees trip in August 2018. Keep enjoying the cycling in the sun, stay safe and see you soon x Best regards, Marcus.
Marcus, Mallorca Apr 18 & Mallorca 312
Hi I'd just like to thank everyone at Stuart Hall for helping to give me the best holiday I've had for a long time. Everyone was so friendly, helpful and kind. Despite being a very average cyclist no body made me feel like I was a pain if I was a bit slower than everyone else. Being given encouragement and genuine support meant I succeeded in completing the Sa Calobra which I honestly didn't think I'd manage. All the instructors/mechanics were brilliant and made the holiday. I was also very fortunate in so much as I was lucky enough to be put in a room with Caroline whom hit it off with immediately. We laughed a lot and I made a friend for life. Apart from the ants in the bedroom the hotel was brilliant and food fabulous quality and plenty of it. The staff there are also great. So I'm afraid it's highly likely you'll be seeing me again in October.....!!! Please please pass on my thanks to everyone....and Helen please don't lap me too many times in Richmond Park !!!! Many thanks again to you all With love Zoe
Zoe, Mallorca Apr 18
Hi Stuart and team Just wanted to say thank you for a great week's training and the best cycling-holiday atmosphere I've ever had. Mallorca is brilliantly set up for cyclists and the hotel was a perfect base for us. I've never seen so many cyclists having breakfast together and the pre-ride and day-after chat was always fun Best of all, the team at Stuart Hall Cycling has restored my faith in cycling holiday companies. I had a horrible experience last year in Tenerife and this year, it was such a relief to find ride leaders who can and do manage their groups effectively on the road. It was also inspiring to ride and chat with Julie, Sophie and Helen. It's great to see more talented women riders on the roads and they reminded me just how much I enjoy the dynamic of a mixed-sex training group. I'm already looking forward to my next trip with Stuart Hall Cycling and in the meantime, I'll be watching out for our Sophie in the Tour de Yorkshire 🙂 Best wishes Jane
Jane, Mallorca Apr 18
Hi Stuart, Sam and Team Thanks all of you for a great holiday. You came highly recommended and you did not disappoint. It was great that you were willing to be flexible with the rides because we were confident we could do the climbs but weren’t sure we would keep up with the faster groups. Very happy that you put on some that suited us as it would have been a shame to miss out on some of the most spectacular scenery. I was very impressed with my brand new Dream hire bike, I wasn’t expecting one of such high spec – no excuse for not making those hills either 😉 Playa Mar hotel was excellent, wide choice of delicious food, not sure how they manage such a range for huge numbers of hungry cyclists day after day; and very friendly service. We’ll be back for more (cycling not just food).
Fiona & Steve, Mallorca Apr 18
Hello Jenny, Just got home and I have to say it was brilliant. I Loved it. Firstly, the staff at my hotel are all brilliant, always happy to help and very efficient in their work. Secondly, the guides who work for Stuart are brilliant. very knowledgeable. Just to mention a few of them: Gaz, Andy, Julie, Tom and Ben. They will always keep an eye on how people are doing in the group... The difference ability rides on offer each day is excellent. Look forward to the next one
Mario, Mallorca Apr 18
A fantastic week was had by SoMTB, a special Needs cycling group from Surrey. We achieved so much. Thank you Dave and Ivor for being our super guides. Thank you for making our first visit so memorable. We can’t wait to return 😄
Sue, Mallorca Apr 18
Last day on the bike in Mallorca. We’ve had such a fantastic week with Stuart Hall cycling. Already making plans to come back again. Massive thanks to Sam for his excellent leading skills. Ivor and Julie too.
Dawn, Mallorca Apr 18
Hi Stuart, Wanted to drop you a short mail to thank you and your staff for an amazing few days. What an experience from the transfers, the hotel, the selection of rides, the friendliness of everyone during each day, and of course the quality of roads and weather!! A few of us connected and have become friends in such a short period, we are planning for October and next April !!
Simon, Mallorca Apr 18
Dear team, My son and I have just returned from a few days cycling with your company at Playa Mar Pollenca. We would just like to thank you for a really well organised short break, and the hotel couldn’t be faulted.
Michael, Mallorca Apr 18
Just wanted to say we had an amazing trip with you at the start of April. Location, hotel, food, rides, staff were all absolutely spot on, we couldn’t have asked for more. You even fitted in a sa Collabra ride for us on special request which was absolutely awesome. We will be booking again
Alex, Mallorca Apr 18
I simply wanted to say what a great time I had on those fast roads in Mallorca, your staff were great and Andy is by far the kindest and most attentive- I enjoyed his company and rides very much. So simply a thank you to you and also to Jenny for all her help. Great holiday, efficiently organised, nice hotel with great staff and like most of your clients I will be there again next year.
Tom, Mallorca Apr 18
Stuart and Team Many thanks for an excellent holiday in Majorca. I have been with you before but had a 5 year break due to living away. I am super impressed with the way you have developed in the last 5 years. We had at least 5 rides to choose from each day and body core classes each morning. Large, modern bedrooms and an excellent spa. You have managed to keep the relaxed elements of the business – no need to sign up for a ride, just be at front of hotel at 10am and decide where you want to go, plus great places to stop for a coffee. Whilst also having great organization in the background – mechanic in hotel, notice board with all key information, enough leaders to be able to split big groups, and leaders who really know the lanes of Majorca and support with transfers to airport. We really enjoyed it and will for sure be back, keep up the good work.
David, Mallorca Apr 18
Jenny, Please pass on to Stuart and all his staff, thanks and appreciation from myself and the rest of my group. As you know, I brought 16 people out this spring and although many of us were return customers, there were a significant amount who were either, first time to Mallorca or first time with Stuart. It is safe to say that everyone very much enjoyed themselves and I received many positive comments. Over the few years that I have been a customer, there has been a continued subtle but apparent improvement to your operation. Improved website & online communication before the holiday, a move to Playa Mar / Mar senses, a notice board with plenty of information, welcome briefings for new customers, friendly, helpful guides, in house repairs (my thanks to Sean!), massage from the Hillmanator, I could go on..... There is much enthusiasm among those that joined me this time and I am sure this will lead to more return visits! I look forward to joining you all again in the autumn, have a great season!
Steve, Mallorca Apr 18
Thanks to all for a wonderful cycling experience. I particularly enjoyed the ride up the gorge from Selva and Sam's amazing green routes through the farms and pasture land, vineyards, artichokes, donkeys and ponies. A great location and fab hotel.
Stephanie, Mallorca Apr 18
Stuart, On behalf of our group of cyclists and non-cyclists we wish to thank Stuart Hall Cycling for a most enjoyable week at the Playa Mar resort. The entire Stuart Hall Team were excellent and could not have been more helpful in the advice and encouragement they gave to all of our group, so much so that some of our non-cyclists may plan some rides in the future. Speaking of which we would plan to return to you (if you'll have us!) in April 2019 (22nd to 29th) and you could provisionally book us in for a similar size group. Thanks again Stuart and we'll chat soon, Mike
Mike, Mallorca Apr 18
Just wanted to say thank you to you, Helen n the team for another fantastic trip. Both had a great time. Thanks, Seona
Seona, Mallorca Apr 18

Dave, Mallorca Apr 18
Hi Stuart, I just wanted to send my thanks to you and your team. I joined three rides over the weekend for my first time cycling in Mallorca and I'll definitely come back in the future. All the leaders were great and I made some lovely friends. Thanks so much!
Laura, Mallorca Apr 18
Hey Stuart Just wanted to say thank you for the pick up today, great service 🙂
Simon, Mallorca Apr 18
There is nothing better than cycling in Mallorca. No Wait.. There is!! Cycling with Stuart Hall Leaders in Mallorca, Sean, Andy, Ben , Gary , Nick, plus any I missed. Beeping brilliant blokes, great hotel, couldn't want for more. Except less snow and wind. Thanks everyone a SHC, hope to see you again in May.
Doug, Mallorca Mar 18
Hi Stuart, I never got to meet you when I was in Mallorca last week(18th to 25th March) but just wanted to say that all the guys that you have working out there were brilliant. I also had a question before going and Jenny replied to my email within 24 hours answering my question witch was great. I’d highly recommend anyone wanting to go cycling over there to join you’re team and I’ll be back again next year. Thanks
Keith, Mallorca Mar 18
Second that what a great week of cycling with great company thanks Stuart Hall ☀️🚴‍♀️
Danielle, Mallorca Mar 18
The best training trip out in Majorca! Amazing riding, weather, food and company... what more could you want!? Thanks Stuart Hall Cycling Stuart Hall for making it mega!! #wannagoback #livingthedream
Sophie, Mallorca Mar 18
Another excellent Mallorca trip with Stuart Hall Cycling and a bunch of awesome damas y callaberros already looking forward to 2019! Now for a snow-driven, four-flight, two-day adventure home ... 😂
Anwar, Mallorca Mar 18
Thanks to Stuart Hall for another wonderful week of cycling in Majorca; 4 quality rides with your great guides clocking up almost 500km, only beaten by the weather in the last two days. Hopefully meet all the same lovely people again next year!
Sarah, Mallorca Mar 18
Hi Stuart Just a brief email to say thank you to you and your ride captains for 7 great days of cycling in March. The food was good, the weather was brilliant compared to the UK (such a relief to be able to cycle in shorts and even a short sleeved top) and your guys took us on some brilliant rides at good speed. I improved my cycling fitness massively in just 7 days. I will be joining up for the Alpine Ride in August. Looking forward to it and to coming back to Port de Pollenca. Many many thanks
Duncan, Mallorca Mar 18

2017 Testimonials

Dear Stuart Many thanks for your follow-up email re our Cycling Holiday in October – we were so impressed in April we returned. We had an excellent time which was the consensus of all in our group. In April we stayed in the Mar Senses & this time the Playa de Mar & we were very pleased with the accommodation (although ours was a little tired); the food, was excellent and the staff were pleasant & helpful. Again there was a good range of rides & your leaders were excellent – in fact I have already encouraged two other local clubs I ride with to consider booking with you for their oversees tours. Lorraine, my wife, was particularly pleased with Ivor (after a chat to Helen) who took her, and another woman, who had been doing the steady rides with Sam, on a ‘steady’ Orient ride which they otherwise would not have considered. This was a great highlight for them. We will certainly give very positive feedback on your FB page & on your website. Again – many thanks for the follow-up & the great service you, and your team provide, and we hope to be with you again in the future. Regards – John & Lorraine
John & Lorraine, Mallorca Oct 2017
We have now been home for over a week after having had a great ten days cycling in Majorca with Stuart Hall cycling. The hotel, the Playa Mar is very good. The food is excellent and nothing could be too much trouble for the staff. The accommodation is comfortable though the apartments that haven't yet been refurbished have quite tired bathrooms and kitchen areas. We sat in the pool area quite a lot this trip and that was well maintained. There was a good variety of rides each day with a choice of hills and flat rides and varying distances. The ride leaders were excellent as usual though I personally don't like being part of a large group on the small lanes near P. Pollensa. It was always more comfortable and felt safer being part of a smaller group. I appreciated and benefitted from some tips on technique given by ride leaders. Kevin was lucky to be present when there was the chance of doing the lap of the island with some of the ride leaders and other clients. He really enjoyed the experience and benefitted from the support and company of the other riders. I would ( and do) recommend the experience to other riders. We hope to be there again next year! Bev

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
Lindsey, Mallorca Sept 2017
What a super day out on the bikes it was, the 2 pros did ok really, we backed it off for them when required... haha... yeah right... thanks to Stuart for organising chatting to the girls gave a real interesting insight into ladies pro-cycling.
Daniel, Mallorca Oct 2017
Thanks guys for making our first visit out to Mallorca so enjoyable, great rides with nice people! Cheers and see you again soon
Tarquin, Mallorca Oct 2017
Just to say had a fab time cycling out with Sam giving me such encouragement and confidence to be out there riding, meeting some lovely people and making new friends. Got some good miles in and even managed Sa calobra. Great experience. Thank you, Wendy
Wendy, Mallorca Oct 2017
Hi Stuart Thank you for another great holiday. Everything about it was good, the hotel was excellent as usual and the staff were really friendly, nothing was too much trouble. Your leaders were really friendly and helpful, especially Andy and Sean who sorted the bikes. It was nice to be greeted by Jennifer, much appreciated. Also thanks to Sam and Ev who we have got to know quite well "similar age group". The weather was good too. Look forward to April. Have a good winter. Regards Muriel & Tony
Muriel and Tony, Mallorca Oct 2017
Hi Everyone at Stuart Hall, Just a short note to say how much I enjoyed the holiday, even though it's taken me a week to recover!​ I rode most days with one of the medium pace groups which seemed to suit my ability and requirements. After 3 fairly long rides I dropped down to Sam's ride for 1 day and appreciated the slightly easier pace. All the leaders were very helpful and road knowledge was excellent. I have been going to Mallorca for the last 10 years and they still managed to find lots of lanes I hadn't come across. The hotel was very good with an excellent choice of food, although taking the bike through the hotel to the room was something new as all other hotels I've stayed at have had secure and equipped underground garages. I wondered how non cycling guests viewed this. All in all, I thought it very well organised and the transfers were very smooth. I'm not sure if you have contacted my room mate, Michael, but if not, I know that he would have similar comments. If our ageing bodies hold up until next October, I'm sure you'll be seeing us again. Many thanks for a great holiday. Regards, John.
John, Mallorca Oct 2017
Thanks Stuart for an awesome extended week of cycling. Got exactly what I wanted, lots of miles, good food, great company (even if I kept to myself a bit), and rekindling the legs. All the best. Steve
Steve, Mallorca October 2017
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 🚲
Ruth, Mallorca October 2017
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.
David, Mallorca October 2017
Had an amazing week cycling in Majorca and made some new friends thanks Stuart Hall for a great week we will be back next year ☀️🚴‍♀️
Danielle, Mallorca Oct 2017
5 star time! Great guides - and they were even able to burn the candle at both ends!! Many thanks - hope to be back!
David, Mallorca Sept 2017
Hi Stuart, Just a short note to say how much we enjoyed our recent three day cycling trip. We stayed in the gorgeous Mar Senses Hotel, Puerto Pollensa. The cycling was brilliant and Andy Capper and Dave Maughan looked after us superbly as always. It's a great time of year to visit and it could become a regular trip Looking forward to April. Thanks, Barbara
Barbara, Mallorca September 2017
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.
Harold, Raid Pyrenees 2017
Hi Jenny, Just a quick note to say that we had a brilliant week with Stuart in Mallorca and really enjoyed the cycling. Please pass on our thanks to him and the team for making it such a positive experience. We will definitely be back! Can I also say how happy we were with the upgrade to the Mar Senses hotel – what a lovely place! We thoroughly enjoyed staying there. Thanks very much! Best regards, Sue
Sue, Mallorca Spring 2017
Thank you Stuart Hall and Co for making my 4th time with you guys fab as always. I forgive you Stuart for tricking us into that 2nd climb on my last day 😂 will def make another booking soon. Wish I was still there 👍👍x
Linda, Mallorca Spring 2017
The Mallorca 312 sportive was an unforgettable experience. Stuart arranged an early morning breakfast for the 312 riders followed by a transfer right to the start line. This meant we didn’t need to hang about on a chilly morning and the event got off to the perfect start. And what an event! Well-marshalled, great organisation and loads of cheering support along the way. The well-stocked food stops meant I arrived back with the energy bars I set out with still in my pockets and the standard of riding was perhaps the best I have experienced in any sportive. Riding through a world heritage centre on silky-smooth closed roads in cycling paradise. What’s not to like? Well, admittedly there’s the monstrous distance – 194 miles and more than 5,000 metres of climbing - but thankfully latching onto a well-organised group helped get me over the line in a decent time and I didn’t have to make use of the out-of-hours hotel buffet Stuart had arranged for us in case of a late finish. Instead there was time for a short jaunt to the famous cyclist’s haunt Tolos, where the Garmin ticked over 200 miles and the draft Estrella provided the perfect recovery aid! Cheers – here’s to the next one!
John, Mallorca 312 Spring 2017
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
Mike, Mallorca Spring 2017
Hi Jenny, please can you send my best regards to Stuart and all his little helpers for my wonderful weeks cycling in Majorca two weeks ago. The weather was perfect and the routes were varied and spectacular. It was good to meet so many really nice people and will be looking to book another trip in the future. Best regards to all at Stuart hall cycling. Best regards, Andrew
Andrew, Mallorca Spring 2017
Thanks Stuart Hall Cycling for a super bike and an absolutely brilliant week of cycling, definitely see you next year and maybe again in October if the duchess allows... Damien.
Damien, Mallorca Spring 2017
Just a quick note to say thanks for a great week’s cycling, bike was excellent, your rides and team leaders were all really great, and I thoroughly enjoyed myself, even if I still can’t climb to save myself. Please convey my thanks to Sam, Rob, Gary and John. Hope to see you in October, there are still a few rides I didn’t get to do.
Rod, Mallorca Spring 2017
From being picked up promptly at Palma for the transfer by Ivan, to the welcome at the hotel by Ev, the bikes all ready for us to pick up, then the choice of rides each day. Everything ran like clockwork, which is brilliant news for newbies like us! Many thanks to Stuart Hall Cycling for making our first visit to Mallorca one to remember. We both enjoyed the variety of rides and benefitted from the wealth of knowledge that each ride leader has. Everyone was so friendly and efficient, so many thanks to Andy, Ben, Dave, Gary, Rob, Sam and of course Helen. (The names are alphabetical so no preference is shown! We also sincerely hope we haven't missed anyone out as it isn't intentional). Sa Colobra and Orient are now ticked off my bucket list, expect us for a few more visits to complete the rest! Hope to see you all very soon!
Karen & David, Mallorca Spring 2017
Just to thank you all at Stuart Hall Cycling for making my first time with yourselves cycling such a great time. The rides were good, and sociable, with some great cafe stops. I will be putting in a return visit in my diary for next year. Thanks.
Linda, Sam & Simon, Mallorca Spring 2017
I just wanted to say thank you for a great week. I didn't do any of the group rides after I came off and bust my shoulder the week before I came out but I loved the fact that all the leaders were still asking how my rides were going, it really made me feel part of the bigger group. Garry even offered to check that I'd put my bike together again safely which was a welcome gesture! I thought advertising the rides the night before was brilliant and would definitely benefit me on future trips.
Hannah, Mallorca Spring 2017
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.
Anne, Mallorca Spring 2017
Thanks for bike loan and kit Stuart you all went out of your way to give a ride I was clearly not geared up for / it made my family holiday one to remember with your teams help - I will be out next year with my team & do the week with a bit of luck !!! 🚴🏻
Dan, Mallorca Spring 2017
Big thank you to Stuart and all his guides and helpers fantastic 10 days riding. Back to normal now cutting grass and cold winds. Andrew
Andrew, Mallorca Spring 2017
What a week... big thanks to Stuart Hall, little Leg lil'ring Garry Cannondale and of course, Capt John Watson for smashing us up every Col and down each decent like a boss. Highlight for me was Selva Gorge climb, pushing on down the decent from Sa Calabra into Pollenca trying to keep away from James McPherson, and those arm warmers. Greeners & Darren was here... thanks Nomads. You all rock. Paul
Paul, Mallorca Spring 2017
We're home now and already missing the sun, cycling and great company! Thanks for a great week- a big thanks you to Stuart, the two Dave's and Sam for all the great teaching and "encouragement" 😂🚴🏻☀️ See you in October!! Best get out into those Welsh hills and practice! 🚵 Jess

Dawn, Mallorca Spring 2017
As an early birthday present my generous other half gifted me an amazing week cycling with Stuart Hall Cycling in Mallorca last week. Stuart had donated the week to a New Stepping Stones nursery fundraiser. All deserve a mention! I wanted to say that this was an amazing experience with excellent accommodation, food and some very lovely people. The cycling was beautiful and I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in getting out on their bike for a few days especially if they are trying to get back some fitness after winter. Tom

Jim, Mallorca Spring 2017
Hi Stuart Back home now, just wanted to say thanks for great service. In the past my husband has found transfers the most stressful as always seemed to have issues whoever we used. This is the second time we have used yourselves and we would now never use any other transfer service in Majorca. The ease of booking, reasonable cost and clear instructions for meeting were exceptional. We would both particularly like to praise the driver who picked us up for both transfers, he was professional, polite, prompt and very friendly and courteous-would appreciate if you pass this feedback onto him. Thanks Again Emma and Andy
Emma & Andy, Mallorca Spring 2017
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
Jonathan, Mallorca Spring 2017
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

2016 Testimonials

Hi Jenny, I just returned from my trip to Majorca having had a great time there. This was the best of the three trips I have made with Stuart Hall and I found the new hotel (Playa Mar) a definite improvement.
David, Mallorca April 2016
Stu, just a quick thank you for another great time cycling in Mallorca. Things were super organised and the crew were friendly and helpful. Also, the rooms in new hotel were spacious and the food was first class. I really appreciate having a choice of rides each morning and also having an opportunity just to do my own thing, if the mood suits. I think Mallorca is so great that I have offered my buddies a money back guarantee. If they don't like cycling in Malloca, I'll reimburse their expenses. Unfortunately, they all still work for a living and don't have the time to get away on a cycling holiday. Still, I'm hopeful I'll have some takers soon. Harold
Harold, Canada - Mallorca April 2016
@SHallCycling Thanks to you and your team for a great couple of weeks in Majorca. Would recommend for anyone considering a trip out there.
Croston Velo, Mallorca April 2016
Jenny, Firstly can I thank you and Stuart for a fantastic 8 days in Majorca. The hotel was great as was the food and the organisation. It was a welcome improvement having the rides posted up the day before, allowing checking of maps and a more informed decision of which ride to go on and as usual the company and leaders were friendly and helpful. So all in all another great week – I’ll be back next year.
Kevan, Mallorca April 2016
Dear Jenny I would like to say a big thanks for the recent trip, another great experience. I will be highly recommending you and passing the details around to fellow club members. Hopefully more of us can join you again next year!
Kerry, Mallorca April 2016
Hi Just a quick note to thank you for a great cycling experience with Stuart Hall Cycling. I loved each of the 5 rides that I managed to do (unfortunately around work this time), and when the boss of the enterprise comes back for you on a ride and also changes your inner tube, you know you are on to a good thing. Excellent facilities and really nice staff at the Playa Mar, which makes for a superb base. Please don't change the base for 2017 as my wife has agreed to come out next year. It was certainly worth making the effort to get out to Mallorca following the cancellation of my original flights, and I subsequently produced the best time that I have ever done at my club's sportive on Sunday. Best wishes and good luck for the rest of your Spring season.
David, Mallorca April 2016
Hi Jenny, would just like to pass on my thanks to all of you at Stuart Hall Cycling for another thoroughly brilliant trip. Just wish I could have stayed longer!

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.
John, Mallorca Feb 2016
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

2015 Testimonials

What's not to love about a trip to the Pyrenees to watch the Tour come through? I've been to Mallorca with Stu several times over the last five years and had a good idea of what to expect from this holiday. Namely, a well organised trip with a group of like-minded individuals, all with a shared interest of all things bike. We stayed in an authentic French country house on the Tour route from which we made our own forays into the Pyrenees and the cols that awaited us. In the end, we rode 6 of the Tour Pyrenean cols including the Col d’Aspin. If you've never experienced theTour caravan coming over the hill you haven’t lived! Stu provides great and knowledgable guides that look after you on any of the rides you choose to take and at the end of the day you come home to good food and camaraderie at the wonderful base camp. Talk about gear ratios, past glories, or just nonsense, over a local beer or two. Everything is looked after for you; flights, transfers,accommodation. A great way to see, and ride, the Pyrenean stages of theTour.
"Skinny" Dave, The Tour in the Pyrenees with Stuart Hall Cycling, July 2015
The best week away cycling ever and such great value for money.
Andy, Mallorca October 2015
Hi Jenny, please pass on our thanks to Stuart Hall. Lawrence and I really enjoyed our trip to Mallorca and the bikes were fantastic. I didn't have to alter mine at all, a perfect fit from the start! Will definitely use his bikes in the future. Looking forward to our next trip! Many thanks.
Rosemary and Lawrence, Mallorca October 2015
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!
Giles, London-Milan 2015
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.
Jodie
Just a quick note to say thank you to you, Stuart, and all the team at SHC for a wonderful holiday last week. All 23 of us had a fantastic time. The hotel & food couldn’t be faulted, and we enjoyed the variety of organised rides throughout the week. We’d particularly like to thank Joanne, David and Jen who looked after us off the bikes all week and made sure everything was organised when we arrived and were leaving.
Graham Beckett
I am sending you an email to let you know how much I enjoyed my week in Majorca cycling with Stuart Hall. Cycling with Sam and Bryan’s group each day was brilliant and the guys really looked after me and were wonderful company/ambassadors for your business. The routes they took us, cafes we stopped in and care they took to ensure our safety/enjoyment of the rides each day was great. I really appreciated the small groups we cycled in over the island and the local knowledge of routes etc was brilliant. On my last day they even changed the route plan so that I could achieve another climb ride which the steady group don’t usually do. The rental bike I had was excellent as well. Have been telling all my friends what a great time we had – down to the friendliness of the airport transfer and everything. Top marks Stuart Hall.
Zoe
Had a great week over Easter in Majorca with all the gang. There were 10 in total and have all promised to come back again. Just like to say thanks to all the crew especially Andy and Jo who I spent most of the days cycling with but others were also complimentary about their respective guides!
Eamon Hill
Just want to thank you and Stuart for a super trip yet again, they get better each year. You were so helpful with dealing with all the details and I’d like to pay a special thank you to Jo as she was brilliant filling in for Stuart. She could not be more helpful, friendly and great fun. I’d also like to thank David and his wife for same as they could not be faulted for anything and our Dermot was well impressed by David’s wife (sorry I never got her name) for getting up at 4 am to make sure he got picked up for the airport. And I’d like to thank Sean for sorting us all out with the bikes and doing a super job, really nice guy cheers. And not forgetting the guides Matt and G and of course both Jacks and anyone I forgot to thank… Jenny if you could pass this on to all above from me
Dermot and all the Irish guys
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.
Brian
I just wanted to say a big thank you from all of us at Berwick Wheelers who stayed with your team last week. The hotel, the staff and support we received during our stay was excellent, in fact it was superb, please pass on our gratitude to the on site team, they really were that good! We very much hope to reacquaint ourselves with Stuart Hall cycling in Mallorca next year and hope you will keep us informed of any early bird offers etc.

Thanks from all at Onimpex Bioracer team
Just a short email to say a big thanks for a great week in the Mallorca, sorry we took the weather back to the UK :). The transfers were bang on, the Pollenca Park as good as ever and nice to have all the reservations made for us. Our stats for the week were 528 miles and just over 9,000 metres of ascent.

Hi Stu – I just wanted to say thanks again to you, Jack and Mark for such a great holiday. Andy and I had a blast – everything was organised like clockwork and the cycling was fantastic. I am sure we will come again :).
Sarah (Cheshire)
Just a quick thank you for your very efficient service and can you pass our thanks on to Stu & Rhys. Hopefully see you next year with a few more lads.
Sean (Builth Wells)
Just wanted to drop you a line to say thanks very much for a fantastic week of riding, and for the help and advice from you and your guys. Since you were all so indulgent, thought you might like to know that the training and the advice both really helped me out in my race yesterday – in particular, I kept in mind everything you told me about getting up hills (each time I went up the nasty little hill) and tried out some advice Rhys gave me about moving the bike around more when I’m out of the saddle. Anyway, it all must have helped because I came third in the all cats race 🙂
Michelle (London)
Stuart, thanks for an excellent trip! Great experience! Great bunch of guys to ride with.
Martin (Wiggan)
Hi, just a quick note to say thanks for a great trip. Good hotel, transfers went well, great riding. Please thank Jack and Sam for showing us the island!
Phil (Plymouth)
I didn’t get to see Stuart or the Phils before I left so can you thank them for their advice and help. I enjoyed the trip and hope to return in the future.
John (Devon)
Just wanted to say a big thanks to you and Stuart for an excellent trip. Everything went very smoothly, the hospitality was superb and finishing the ride was extremely satisfying. We’re already thinking about doing it again next year (I think there must be something wrong with us…) so please keep us up to date with entry info for 2014.
Dan (Clitheroe)
I hope your Tour watching trip is going well. Huge thanks for a great trip the other week – both Ian and I really enjoyed it. So much so, that I am thinking of coming back out to the Alps in late August to do the Les Deux Alps version (TT and Granfondo on 24/25th).
Clare (Oxford)
Just wanted to say thanks for a great holiday, the cycling was as good as you said it would be and the choice of hotel was brilliant. Sandra would also like to say a big thanks for looking after her, the whole trip met her expectations and more, especially the banter.
Dave (Tyneside)
We would like to say thanks a million for a fabulous week in Majorca, the whole trip was spectacular, the transfers worked well, the hotel was lovely, the buffets were bountiful, your team of riders were funny, supportive and impressively fit. It’s sad being back to the cold sun-restricted hours which limit cycle time, without the coffee, orange and almond cake stops. We hope you are all keeping well; you have given us many happy memories and opened our eyes to a new future for cycle training. Best wishes and happy riding til the next time!
