What People Say
Reviews from our trips
The best part of the trip was the activities and the location. The activities were excellent, well run, a great challenge level, very few idle moments for the students. The location was postcard level stunning. There were no worst parts of the trip.
Northgate High School
Acorn were so helpful and supportive! They took the stress away from arranging the activities, they were very organised and were quick to answer any questions/ queries we had. An Acorn team member welcomed us to the site and were very supportive throughout the week we were in the Dolomites. The year 8/9 students loved the activities and are still talking about their experience weeks later. I would 100% use them for another European Adventure.

Northgate, Llangorse Multi-Activity Centre
Centre was lovely, staff were very friendly and the activities were great!
SHSB, Dolomites Adventure
Excellent activities, location, staff and accommodation. Both children and school staff had a really enjoyable week which was well balanced with rest time and activity time. Venues used for food were excellent.
Culmstock, Bude Adventure
All of our needs were met and majority exceeded!
Elana, Ardèche Adventure
Excellent experience with Acorn Adventure for our 50 strong Cub, Scout & Explorer Group. Easy booking process and effective communication throughout. The result was a challenging, rewarding and beautiful week long stay in the Ardechè. Good facilities onsite including tents, food was varied and well prepared and the team on-site were excellent. Coach travel was excellent too. Excellent location and lifelong memories made for all.

It is a great trip and experience for the pupils and we will be heading back in 2023!
Alex
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
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
The instructors and all staff were friendly, encouraging and always on hand. We will be booking again for sure!

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
