Really good place for activities and stay for groups between the ages 10 - 19 years old. Very friendly staff and excellent facilities. Spent three days of both water based activities and land based with 18/19 year olds who loved it. Added bonus of having private pool sessions.

Took the U11s on rugby tour about 3 weeks ago. It was great. The staff could not have done more. Super friendly team, well organised. Activities were focused around team building and were fun for both the lads and the dads! Perfect for a weekend with this type of group. Will consider a re-run next...

Staff were really friendly and helpful, equipment was good quality and we'll maintained, and activiti...

Hands down the best Residential location in the country. Having taken a group of Year 6 children to various Residential centres over the last 4 years, I can honestly say that Skern Lodge is without a doubt the best in the country.
The high level of care given to you by the incredibly helpful and en...

Great place for week of adventure, plenty of quality activities and decent accommodations. I can only judge breakfast, which was nice. The activities are very enjoyable, surfing and high ropes the highlights for me, and the staff are fantastic and kind. Would recommend to all.

It was amazing. The best trip I've ever been on. The activities were great, as well as the instructors. I think what makes it so good is that everybody can get involved, even if you are unsure or nervous about the activities, the instructors encourage you, but don't push you to make you feel uncomfo...

A fantastic centre. I visited recently as a teacher with my school and it is the best residential centre I've been to. The rooms are clean and well-equipped and linens are provided. The children's rooms are a good size and don't require too large a group, which can sometimes cause issues. The food i...

The activities are amazing they are so much fun for everyone and there are lots of them.

It is in an amazing place with beautiful views and a fascinating history.

But what let s it down is the food, the food is atrocious and really is what gives it a 3 star instead of a 4 or 5.
