Where do I start? Arrived and got thrown a package with no information at all. Just to “look at the timetable”. Heaters in room weren’t working and was told it isn’t that cold. …

Travelled last year and just rebooked for this season coming. Had a great time and was well looked after by the staff. I would definitely recommend The Lab for groups travelling together. The staff make it like one big family giving tips on where to ride, took us out at night and were basically 10/10. See you soon crew.
