New England Tennis Holidays

Hi just wondering if anyone out there has experience of this tennis resort as I%26#39;m contemplating going there end May / beginning of June this year. Would you rate it and also is this a nice time of the year to play tennis outdoors? I like the sunshine but not crazy out searingly hot weather nor mosquitos :(

Thanks

Hi Rooster,

I%26#39;ve been twice to the NH location and absolutely loved it!

I don%26#39;t know how the bug situation would be in June as both times I went was in September. For what it is worth, there were no bugs to speak of in September and the weather was moderate. Keep in mind that it is in the mountains so I suspect that the temperatures are a bit cooler because of that in June.

You have choices of accommodations depending on what type of experience you want - or prefer. The first time I stayed at the B%26amp;B which is nice since I was traveling alone. The second time I was with a friend and we rented a condo (actually a townhouse) that was so large and almost on a ski slope - very cool. The program is all inclusive (meals) which are usually at restaurants - some of which are very, very nice. On each occasion I wondered how they could provide so much for such a reasonable amount.

What you might really enjoy about NETH is the amount of tennis you get every day (approx 5 hours of solid instruction). This was the draw for me and why I chose it the first time.

We%26#39;ll either be going back to NH or try their Florida location next winter. I believe that all three locations will be just as well managed. My sense is that they really care about the quality of the packages and truly listen to any feedback that they receive.

Thanks for your feedback - what is the age range and would you need to be quite fit to survive?!

All age ranges and levels of play are accommodated. My group of 2-6 35-45 year old women (depending on the year) has been there several times at the end of May/beginning of June. In NH they have black flies at that time of year. They can be bothersome, but a very slight breeze or some insect repellant takes care of them.

Northern NH at that time of year is beautiful. It%26#39;s before the heat and humidity set in. Also it is so just before tourist season so there are no crowds or traffic. There are indoor courts in case of rain.

The camp is challenging and fun, but not rigorous and overly demanding. You%26#39;ll be tired at the end of the day but not wiped out. Everyone always shows up the next morning.

It%26#39;s great fun. The pros are good and the other campers are always an interesting mix of personalities. I don%26#39;t think you could have a bad time.
