Some lovely reviews from our customers
It was awesome! The children have said that it was by far the best holiday we have had as a family. Staff were fun and friendly and encouraged us all to push ourselves. The timetable was well planned and kept us all busy. Lovely having it all planned for us. Brilliant!
Just back home from a week at the Ardeche centre. Couldn’t recommend it highly enough. First class food, even freshly prepared on the river bank. Brilliant. Instructors very knowledgeable and brimming with enthusiasm. Steve and Lauren caving – great. Rich( dick) homer kayaking super. And Becky on the decent – brilliant. Thanks again. Kids in bed, me soaking in the bath! Cheers Paul( the daft bald fireman).
First time been with acorn at their Normandy campsite, it was BRILLIANT!! We both loved it , activities were great , food really tasty , staff fantastic . Met a great bunch of people.
My 5 year old daughter is still, 3 weeks later, talking about the paddleboard instructor (he looked a bit like David Walliams!!) who put her in the water to splash around, whilst I got chance to paddleboard. Awesome day! Thanks to him please, as otherwise I would have had to leave the activity as I did with kayaking. Much appreciated! Thanks to everyone. Faultless holiday. Perfect.
If you want happy, exhausted children then try this holiday. There was an excellent mix of activities and evening entertainment that we would not change and left my son wanting more
As mentioned previously this is the fourth year my son and I have holidayed with Acorn (two times in Brecon and once here). We absolutely love it and always rave about it to our friends. As a single parent it is good value for money, we always make friends and have a laugh. What more could you ask for from a holiday! See you next year
Without exception the staff were caring, polite, professional and exceptionally enthusiastic. The staff made the trip enjoyable and always ensured that all people were fully included and engaged – Exceptional service
We can’t speak highly enough of the staff – they were friendly, warm, hardworking, good natured, tolerant, helpful, fun and professional –
each and every one. A fantastic team to be proud of.
Different altogether and a wonderful experience.
We had great fun! Thank you all very much! My boys learnt a lot more independence while staying here!
I can honestly say I’ve had the best time ever!.
One of the best family holidays. Was looking for activities with kids and Acorn ticked all the boxes.
