A aimé Everything about our stay was 100% brilliant - all our children (and the adults) are already planning a return visit next year 🙂 The site is in a beautiful, peaceful location, with tall trees dotted around it. We came as a group of 3 families for 3 nights (with 4 children aged 6-9 years and a 16-year-old) with our own tents and we had the camping field to ourselves, which was magical. On site we saw a buzzard, swallows, robins, bats and a deer - it really felt wild. The site is enclosed and it felt safe for the children to roam. The showers and toilets are clean. Although there are mixed gender toilet and shower blocks (separate cubicles) there are also a few small, lockable cabins with 2 showers in each, which made it easier for me (a mum) to help my sons get ready for bed. The activities provided were huge fun and were enjoyed equally by all children and adults in our party. In our two full activity days, we did climbing, two different obstacle courses in the woods (all adjustable for varying physical abilities, including both confident adrenaline-junkies like our friends, and also those afraid of heights like me and my sons!), axe-throwing, archery, epic laser tag battles in a woodland setting (repeated on both days by popular request!), a campfire with marshmallow toasting and S'mores, wooden bird-box making, and finger-weaving multicoloured 'cordage' bracelets (a relaxing pastime that quickly hooked all of us). There was no chance of anyone getting bored. The children especially enjoyed going with the staff to feed the goats, donkeys, rabbits and chickens each morning after breakfast, getting to stroke and feed the animals by hand. The staff were wonderful (friendly, kind, inclusive, humorous, patient and encouraging). Big thanks to Marc, Cameron and Mark (activities staff) and Marie (who cooked us generous, child-friendly meals) for looking after us and making us feel so welcome. Having food provided, rather than having to worry about the logistics of camp cooking, meant that as adults we were able to fully relax and enjoy the activities ourselves, and not bring as much equipment. Finally, the whole trip was fantastic value for money - with all-inclusive food and activities packages (purchased separately from the camping) that made the break affordable for our family (please keep it accessible and don't hike the prices! 😉)

N'a pas aimé Nothing at all about our stay. But be aware that the booking process was a bit tricky, because there are some glitches on the Centre's website and also there were some delays booking the food and activities through Brent Council (who own the site.). None of this is the fault of the Centre staff though - things ran flawlessly once we arrived - and I believe they are trying to sort out the website. So don't let this put you off, it is worth persevering because the holiday is so excellent!
