What People Say

Reviews from our trips

It is a great trip and experience for the pupils and we will be heading back in 2023!

Alex, 2022

The price of this holiday was extremely good value for money. So much so that we’re booked to visit the Ardeche, France with Acorns this year.

Gareth, 2023

One of the best holidays I've ever had. Great location, such a fun atmosphere the whole time. The pace and schedule of activities was perfectly pitched. Staff were friendly and helpful and the coach and drivers also added positively to the experience. The Ardèche kayak descent is a once in a lifetime experience. Highly recommended!

Ian, 2023

The instructors and all staff were friendly, encouraging and always on hand. We will be booking again for sure!

Paul, Facebook Review

We have had the best few days experiencing raft building, climbing, canoeing and archery to name just a few activities. The staff were exceptionally helpful and knowledgeable
