Fab afternoon spent mountain biking around beautiful Castle Ward. Bike were ace - they even had a perfect fit for my 6’5” tall husband. The Boundary Trail was perfect for our 14 and 12-year-old so would highly recommend this activity for a family looking an active afternoon out! James was the perfect host -service was quick and efficient and he was really knowledgable. Have booked in for the kayaking tomorrow we were so impressed!

I just had my sons 7th birthday at clip and climb! 10 5-7yr olds - it’s was fantastic! Most of the kids had never climbed before so I was a bit worried but the all had a ball, the staff were always on hand to clip them off and on and I got a key to do it to! There was a great range of walls and all the kids were able to climb!! The kids climbed for 1 hr after half hour getting harnessed up and a short talk which they all enjoyed! The kids were wrecked after it!! I highly recommend this for a party, I’ll be back again next year! Something a bit different and with Macdonald’s on the way home it was the cheapest party I have ever had!! 5 stars - great staff, so friendly & great fun xx

Scrabo Golf Club

Reviewed By Caine118 - Bexhill-on-Sea, United Kingdom

What can I say...the motto “we arrived as visitors and left as friends” couldn’t possibly be any truer!! Within 30 seconds of arriving at the bar after a solo round cut short by the weather during a work trip, I was welcomed by Joe and having been introduced to another half a dozen people was subsequently invited to join them in their social roll up the following day. ☺️ Not bad for a rain drenched Englishman!! Several beers and stories later I felt completely at ease with these guys. Unfortunately I won’t be able to return on this visit, but will most certainly be rejoining Joe, Robert, Frank, Marty and all the others when I return in October. If you want to test your skills on an immaculate, yet tough, course with some of the most breathtaking views in Northern Ireland then this is the place for you. See you soon guys. ????️‍♂️????????
