Kingswood Reviews 

The DearneValley team are amazing !!!!

Enormous shout out to Matt (Matthew) who was a legend. Went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly.

Super stars on the team include will, and the ginger fellow with the good vibes AND THE NIGHT TEAM ✨

We had about 250 young people from different parts of the UK take part in the Loud Speaker Easter Weekender at Dearne Valley.

The facilities were fantastic and just what we needed to create a high energy, positive atmosphere for 5 days and 4 nights.

The staff all the way from the top were wonderful too! Kaylei, Matt, Myke, Naomi and Marley - to mention just a few names of the incredible staff members at Dearne.

We had such an amazing time and I can't wait to visit again very, very soon!

Thank you Kingswood.

Thank you Dearne Valley!

Rich from Loud Speaker.

The staff were really polite and attentive over the weekend. Really enjoyed all of the outdoor activities as well.

I cannot express how much I enjoyed my trip to Kingswood. We had 140+ pupils over 5 days at the Isle Of Wight site and the Kingswood staff were THE ABSOLUTE DREAM!!! So helpful and just absolutely positive vibes, Always willing to help out and get stuck in. Shout out to Yasmin, Dan the man, Luke, Kyle aka DJ Jam Sandwich and every other single Kingswood staff member that I've forgotten!!!

Thank you KINGSWOOD IOW

I recently worked a 5 day residential in Wales and found Kingswood to be great! The staff were considerate and helpful, they hosted a great variety of activities for the young people which they seemed to really enjoy. Overall a great experience and we will definitely be working with them again!

Fantastic staff, super helpful and an enjoyable atmosphere. Great activities and a fantastic experience for young people to develop with enriching activities.

What a great organisation this is! Absolutely loved visiting here and I always go back. Arranged many trips with these guys and they never fail to disappoint.

Activities are spot on, comms are spot on and more importantly the whole vibe is great! Thank you, Kingswood for your continued support.

Yours Truly

This biggest C

Very Friendly and outgoing customer service.
Activities were spot on our children loved them.

We recently stayed at Dearne Valley and had a wonderful time. From the whole process of booking and liaising with Ben Ireson from start to finish including his enthusiasm and real interest of our group made us very comfortable in booking Kingswood. The team at centre were brilliant, the kids loved it which made our life much easier. We will certainly be back.

The only feedback we would have is that it would be great to see some fresh exciting new activities and that beds were made for arrival.

We have recently returned from a weekend residential for 100 people at the Staffordshire site. The young people who attended were aged 15-17 and all had a blast.
Great site, activities, food and accommodation.
The staff and team were extremely accommodating and were on hand to ensure our group had the best experience.

The staff, location and facilities at the site in North Devon are amazing. The residential was a great experience for all our learners and the NCS programme delivered offers an opportunity for young people to access an opportunity which they potentially would not be able to. Having a full package, including the transport was a huge incentive to offer this opportunity.

We visited the Dearne Valley Kingswood centre with 57 students for a 5-day residential. The facilities and activities were amazing, the staff were friendly, supportive and patient and the students cannot wait to go again. The rooms were spotless with regular visits from the cleaners and the food menu was varied and plentiful.
Thank you for an amazing visit. The experience was enjoyed by staff and students alike.

We had a good time at Kingswood. The pupils (13-14 years old) enjoyed the activities. The instructors did a nice job. Pupils could learn a lot of things. The bedrooms were a bit worn out but we still slept well.

A welcoming and dynamic team for planning, adventure and catering. Rooms are clean. The activities are original, varied and great fun. The crew is always available and flexible on last-minute requests. The place is nice and safe for school groups, with greenery all around. A great experience!

My daughter has just arrived home from a fantastic trip which she really enjoyed, and got so much out of. Andy was very helpful with my pre-trip enquiries.

We took our year 4 children to Kingswood in March. They had a great time and all the activities were safe and lead well.
The food was good and very accommodating for allergies. Nothing was too much for them, right down to hot sandwiches on the last day.
We stayed in the pods which are lovely, only downside was that they were cold in the night and should have had the heating left on.
We will definitely go again next year.

this place is actually nasty. my school went here on tuesday and it was fine until my friends started complaining about leeches and bugs in our rooms. there was hair in the food and the food was nasty. the bed sheets are stained and we’re not even allowed to close her door. the instructors are rude and really annoying. the activities were really messy and i didn’t have enough clothes cause i had to change 2 times yesterday. my friends stuff got stolen cause i when we came back from activities before lunch our room was really messy. people got food poisoning. some one got hit in the eye with a harvest and they told the instructor but they said they should have caught it.

we would just like to say a big thank you to all of you for making our stay so amazing for all our learners and as easy as possible for our staff.

We had a blast and the learners are still buzzing about it!

A particular mention to Pete, Jack, Rhys, Carl and Roman who led our activity groups, but we are sure there are other names we can't remember too! Everyone was great.
The kitchen team and cleaners were also pretty amazing and the fact that everyone was so flexible and accommodating really made it such a great visit.

We can't remember the name of your dining manager, but she was wonderful and ensured all our guys were catered for beautifully by the team throughout our stay.

Our wonderful learners have their challenges, but everyone was so patient, understanding and kind. Nothing was too much trouble to ensure everything was accessible. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to others.

PEOPLE STUFF WENT MISSING.BUGS EVERYWHERE. WORSE EXPERIENCE.DIRTY BED SHEETS
INSTRUCTIONS SHOUTING AT PEOPLE DISGUSTING EXPERIENCE staff are rude people steal and yeah and bed are horrible and yh

Terrible place, cramped and dirty. Food awful.
If your daughter is going please INSIST that her facilities will be single sex only. Because they will allow boys who say they’re girls to use female showers toilets and dorms.
