Don't just take our word for it...

Just to let you know, we had a
great time. No issues with any of
the arrangements or logistics.
Venue and tournament was great
too. Please pass on our thanks to
the team who helped us arrange
this tour.

Coleraine RFC P7

Pre-arrangements were very good, thanks to the Burleigh team,
we left feeling confident about the trip and what was to come.
When we arrived at the centre the team were welcoming and it
was pretty slick given how many coaches were arriving at once.
The whole centre was clean and easy to navigate.
I thought the format for the rugby worked well and the games
were very competitive. The hosts were very welcoming. we
stayed for a few beers after an enjoyed the facilities they have -
would recommend them as a club.
The service from Burleigh Travel was really helpful - pleasure to
work with!

Harpenden RFC U15

All involved said it was one of their
best weekends they have ever had.
It was good accommodation and the
rugby club was excellent host.
Thank you to your involvement and
to your rep who was very helpful and
pleasant.
