Attended 2 day corporate event at Plas Menai. The facilities were fantastic, meeting rooms were immaculate and perfect for the presentations. The food was of a high standard with all requirements catered for. The activities (high ropes and caving) were superbly well organised and controlled by a dedicated and enthusiastic team. My thanks to Steve and the entire for their attentiveness, care and drive to make the experience excellent throughout. I would highly recommend making use of this great place and would love to go back for more activities. Not a bad view from the conference room or the top of the high ropes course either.
We had a great morning on the discover sailing session! Our three children between 8 and 14 were looked after brilliantly by Mo. Having never sailed before we weren’t sure how they’d get on but Mo was great, patiently explaining everything and making the session fun. They were all sailing between buoys by the end and no one ended up in the water!! The centre were great at communicating when the weather turned and managed to move our session so they could get out on the water. Would definitely recommend!!
We had an amazing sailing weekend with our skipper Ollie! His extensive knowledge—shaped by his experience in ocean racing—was evident throughout. He actively engaged us in all aspects of sailing, from preparations and safety to sharing practical advice on handling challenges at sea. His cooking was a delightful bonus, and his youthful, positive energy made the experience even more enjoyable. Our crew shared plenty of laughs and unforgettable moments. We highly recommend choosing Ollie as your skipper and hope to sail with him again soon!
Just completed a 2 day sea kayaking improver course with Giles as my instructor. Great info, excellent reception, brilliant kit, great in house cafe…….but much more importantly absolutely excellent instruction from Giles - calm, inclusive, patient, hugely skilled and knowledgeable….. A+ weekend. I would highly recommend Plas Menai national outdoor centre for anyone wanting to start, learn, improve, hone or develop their outdoor activity skills.
My two grandsons had a wonderful experience paddle boarding. From the minute we walked in reception we could not have been more welcomed. The safety training was brilliant and the staff were amazing. A gang of kids all strangers went out for the afternoon to learn to paddle board. Had a whale of a time and all came back like best friends. It was wonderful to see them all tired but with happy smiling faces and fun tales to tell. Thank you so much for this exciting experience. Would recommend to anyone.
