We love staying here for a weekend every September with our student leaders from church. It's a great venue to make your own and with about 25 of us the size is great. Perfect base and love having multiple gathering spaces downstairs.

My Children, and Our Church Teen stayed here for Easter camping this year. When I visited the area, the atmosphere was welcoming. Great location, beautiful inside and out. My daughter played the old piano at the main entrance. The kids love the environment.Too much place to run around outside. Lovely bunk bed and the shower room very tidy and clean. Massive kitchen to cook your own food. Definitely will come back.I will recommend to anyone looking for a decent place to host Children or Youth event.

I went here with my youth group during the October holidays and while the staff and food were nice, the dorms were VERY dirty, the carpet was falling off the floor, and spiders were crawling out of the walls. DO NOT GO HERE.
