What People Say

Paul and I would just like to say how grateful we are for the activity weekend that you put on for us recently.

Bex, Scott and George were absolutely superb hosts from the moment we arrived throughout the activities until we left the following day.

With yourself and your colleagues supporting us internally you made it a very enjoyable weekend for our very boisterous rugby team.

The accommodation and facilities were exactly what we needed and we would highly recommend this to anyone thinking of making a booking.
