Scout Adventures Omdömen 

The staff at Youlbury were incredibly helpful with some last minute changes - (I would add much better when you speak to them in person than via email).
Our group of 16/17year olds had a fantastic time and really appreciated all of the activities put on for them; they even got fully involved in songs around the campfire! We would definitely go back again.

Our Beaver Scouts had a fantastic day at Broadstone Warren and loved the Low ropes activity. Amber and her team were so helpful and welcoming. Many Thanks

We had a great week in many aspects of the whole experience....accommodation/food and grounds were excellent. There was a wide range of activities and the children enjoyed taking part. However some activities did not have enough for the children to do and they became bored. The leaders were polite and kind but some lacked enthusiasm and so the interaction with the children was not as exciting for them as it could have been.
We would definitely return as overall the experience was good.

We had a great time at Youlbury on the climbing wall and crate stacking. The leaders were great and lead our groups well. Inspiring them with confidence to cope with the heights off the ground.
The centenary lodge was good, clean and ready for us to move in, but we needed more bowls and plates. This was due to a school visit before us, using Bear’s Den too and swapping crockery.

Nice overall venue for a celebratory group camp. Friendly staff, but some activity boxes were lacking in equipment - these were removed from our invoice, which was much appreciated. Freezer in building needed major de-icing due to door being left open by previous users. No dustpan and brush in building and hoover was blocked. 2 hoovers but only one had a metal pipe to use. Kitchen was well equipped.

Really really really poor customer service, like really really bad! I am a committed volunteer scout leader and it is a real shame that I have to write this, but they need to recognise that their booking process is awful, their 2+ week reply times are not good enough and lack of flexibility means I won’t camp here again. Find another campsite, there are so many better options!

Very comfortable and clean. Easy to book and good communication

Attended archery permit course at Gilwell, was really well led and felt well-supported throughout. Engagingly run, too

Activities are well lead by friendly staff. Lodge was warm and comfortable. Food was good.
That's why we come back year after year.

don't listen to dietary requirements and the catering staff were rude

Fabulous! Staff were amazing we couldn't have had more fun.

Thank you

Always a warm welcome:
kind and attentive staff
enthusiastic and caring scout leaders
generous and tasty meals
Five stars every time!

Everyone really bent over backwards to make the stay at Youlbury as easy and enjoyable as possible. All staff interactions were positive and the staff were very friendly. Overall it was a fantastic time for the young people attending.

Great facility - perfect for our requirements.

Brilliant day today. 40 beavers from Enfield using Branchet field for a fun sports day. We needed a table and chair and this was dealt with very quickly with the friendly staff member I spoke to. Thank you Gilwell. The District Beavers will be back.

The setting is incredible. We used the tented village for Cub pack. It has a well equipped mess tent with benches and tables. Excellent toilet facilities are not too far away.
The range of activities is fantastic and the Cubs enjoyed theirs and overcoming the challenges.
The down side - several tents were out of commission due to broken tent zips - they are not robust enough. The kitchen oven could do with a deep clean.

Great facility for scouting groups, very friendly kind staff, lovely food if get catering package and lots of fun activities. In great location with some beautiful views. Nothing is too much bother or a problem if need something. Will be back again for more fun.

I want to say a massive thank you to the staff who were there for our day. They supported our group amazingly in awful conditions and brought out hot drinks. They encourage them to part take in the water activity when they were not so sure. They were great. Very helpful indeed.
Facilities were good hot showers for the group after activities and plenty of toilets. We were moved into the tree area for camping which worked great would have struggled on the grass area as it was boggy and wouldn’t have been big enough for the amount of people we needed to tent.
All in all. A lovely facility and great staff would recommend it being used again.

The Youlbury site is a wonderful place! Acres of woodland to wander and enjoy wide games, campfires and generally being outside!
I took a group of 24 young people from our youth group, we had 3 activities booked, they chose one and the activites ran at the same time. We enjoyed archery, zip wire and aerial trek - instructors were great with the young people. Thank you Youlbury!

Great friendly and helpful staff. The activities were all excellent. Modern, clean toilets and showers. Large enough site to be isolated if you wanted to be.
