Hi,

Given the age of the party, have you considered using a youth hostel instead of a hotel? They will be more geared up to the needs of kids of that age, will have games rooms etc available and Junior House in Castletown even has an indoor swimming pool and gym etc because it's on a school campus. Most hostels now also have separate twin rooms for staff/accompanying adults so there's no question of having to sleep in a dormitory yourself. The larger ones will offer a fully catered service right down to providing packed lunches!

Yes, it will be a bit more basic than the Hilton for the adults but the kids will be as happy as larry with all the facilities on offer and you will have the peace of mind knowing that the staff are used to dealing with parties of kids, any other guests will have booked knowing full well that there will be youngsters around and you won't be worrying about whether they are distrubing other guests etc. Depending on the size of your party and the hostel you choose, you might even be able to block book the whole place at a reasonable price and have it entirely to yourself. Even less hassle when taking a group of kids away - believe me :-)

PS They might even be able to help you set up your fixtures with local teams
