Fantastic day out for 8 lively 9 year olds, staff were fantastic with the boys, making sure they were safe and having fun. 6 well run games spread out with plenty of breaks to refuel. Every one of the boys had a blast and have been talking non stop about it since then, we'll definitely be back ????

Absolutely hysterical night, Jasper was so quick witted and kept us entertained with his jokes, magic and mind reading. Very brave man to accommodate 16 women alone. Kept to covid regulations and wore mask and plastic screen. Would strongly recommend this for a group looking for an evening of surprise!

Cosmeston Lakes Country Park

Reviewed By peterjones456

We decided to take our young grandchildren to the lake at Cosmeston Country Park to feed the ducks. There was onsite parking and a large lake surrounded by woodland, walks, grassed areas, a cafe and picnic spots. There were lots of birds residing on the water and the children enjoyed feeding the swans and ducks, before enjoying a picnic. After eating, the children spent a few hours on the swings. The entire parkland was immaculate.

Porthkerry Country Park

Reviewed By Guys1982 - Northamptonshire, United Kingdom

What an amazing park, that seemed to have everything: wood sculptures, an amazing variety of stunning trees, a viaduct, that you can walk up to and see trains travelling along, a beautiful cafe that seemed very popular, flat mown areas for walking, woods, streams and a boardwalk down to a pebble beach. We stood looking at the viaduct and noticed acorns dropping onto our heads. A ranger walked by and informed us that the acorns were being thrown at us by a group of territorial squirrels! She stated that if we watched for long enough we would see the squirrels throwing acorns at us from the 2 huge majestic oak trees. We only saw one of the squirrel, which we named "Asbo". We also named the other elusive two " Delinquent" & "Thug" Highly recommend a visit if you are in the area.

Fonmon Castle

Fonmon Castle is situated within a 340-acre rural estate in the beautiful Vale of Glamorgan. Just 30 minutes from Cardiff and the M4, Fonmon Castle is often considered a ‘hidden gem’. Built in 1180, this unique home has been owned by just two former families in its 800-year history. Combining history, charm and adventure, Fonmon Castle offers beautiful Georgian interiors, perfect for business meetings, private dinners and small celebrations, whilst outside you are surrounded by acres of beautiful grounds. At the end of the south lawn is a shady dell & the folly; within the walled gardens, there are several different garden rooms - an enclosed scented garden with thatched summerhouse, flower-filled secret garden, herb beds & an area for growing produce for our kitchens. New for spring 2020, we present our contemporary Wedding Village featuring our ‘three-top-hat’ Tipi for weddings & special events; a medieval farm & grange hamlet where history comes alive & nature walk with Dino park.
