Lara Quarterman review 25 Aug 2014
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?
Being in the Welsh countryside and kayaking along the coast.2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
Be prepared for lumpy mattresses, but otherwise decent accommodations. Not 5 star, but certainly comfortable. Group sizes for the activities can be a bit large (12 people is too many for kayaking when you have many different levels)3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Yes, all three.4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?
Great time and a great way to spend the bank vacation weekend.Read the operator's response here:
'Thank you for taking the time to review us Lara. We are very happy to hear you had a great bank vacation weekend with us. Regarding some of the mattresses in the ecolodge, we’ve taken your feedback on board and have already invested in some new comfy mattresses – as we know how essential a relaxing sleep is after a day out on the water. Thank you for your comments and we will also look into the other issues that you have raised.
