    Some recent comments from groups that have visited Mellowes

    “We brought 24 Beaver Scouts, aged between 7 years and 9 years to Mellowes Adventure Centre for a Bearer Scout Camp and what a fantastic experience it turned out to be for us all. From the moment we arrived Steven made both adults and children feel very welcome. Mellowes Adventure Centre is a gem of a spot, exceptionally well thought out and kept in pristine condition. It was safe and very suited to this age group. The children had a ball, the bouncy castles and go-karts were favourites, but they also loved the Animals and Steven even managed to do some gardening with them. This was our seventh time to take Beaver Scouts away and according to them, the most important critics, it was the best yet. Where to we go from here, back to Mellowes Adventure Centre, I think”
    Mairead Hurley. 41st Dublin Beaver Scouts

    “Brilliant day out, really enjoyed learning all about gardening our beaver scouts loved it.
    Children really enjoyed feeding the animals and learning all about them. Great day out, enjoyed by all.
    Adults really appreciated the tea and coffee facilities”.

    1st Meath Dunboyne - Beavers Scouts

    “Must say that Beavers and Leaders enjoyed the visit. Plenty to Do. Staff very good and explained everything very well. Nothing was too much for any of the Mellowes staff both on the camp and phone/email”.
    179th Huntstown Beaver Scout Camp

    We had a warm day to go with the warm welcome our beaver scouts received at mellowes adventure centre. The set up is fantastic, the beaver scouts had a great time. Steven was a great host. Beavers got to play and learn at the same time. There is something for everyone at mellowes adventure centre. Great entertainment, good knowledge. Steven took charge of the beavers during their tour so the leaders had one of the most relaxing field trips ever. We had an all round great day and will defiantly be recommending mellowes adventure centre to all. We will be planning our next trip to mellowes as soon as we get home. Thank you for a great time

    “We found the facilities at Mellowes excellent from start to finish. From being greeted on arrival throughout the weekend nothing was too much trouble and the atmosphere at Mellowes is relaxed. Debbie and Steven have done an amazing job in creating an educational fun environment for kids. It can be done! Would love to come back”
    2nd Louth Blackrock Cub Camp

    “Wonderful place. Lots of variety also great Eco Garden and Animals. Brilliant that it is all explained by staff on site. Gives leaders time to cook and organise other activities. Staff very friendly and welcoming. Facilities second to none. Superb”.
    179th Huntstown - Beaver Scouts

    “This has been a fantastic day. All children and adults really enjoyed the whole experience from beginning to end. I would recommend Mellowes for all Beavers, Cubs and even family days out. The staff are very friendly and look after the days programme. The leaders are just extra help so not lots of adults are needed. We thank you for our time spent here and look forward to our next visit”.
    24th Tallaght - Cub Scouts

    “Very good. Very welcoming when we arrived. Enjoyed the Eco Garden with Reuse, Recycle, Reduce”.
    1st Laois Portlaoise - Cub Scouts

    “The children had a fantastic time - great weather on the day. Staff are so friendly and helpful. Price was well worth it, even though we were late we were welcomed with open arms and the children didn’t miss out on anything”.
