Arete Outdoor Education Centre Llanrug

22/7/24 - 26/7/24 gold dofe residential. The staff are lovely and really pushed us to our limits, it was an amazing experience with the best day being coasteering. The beds were surprisingly comfy and there was plenty of food and it was really good and home cooked with a yummy cake every evening. I went alone not knowing anyone and I have met so many new people, everyone was so lovely, it is definitely a 5/5 and I would go again. It was also in such a good position in Wales where the journey to the beach wasn’t too long but it was long enough to have a nap when you’re tired. Also Snowdon is so close and the mountains are fantastic on a good clear day. Thank you Arete Team for the amazing experience!

This is a great place. It's in a beautiful area and there is so much to do. All the instructors were really nice and the activities were amazing. Food was good too. I would highly reccommend for school trips/residentials, especially for secondary schools.

I went to the centre with my school as a residential for 2 nights, we did rock climbing, canoeing, gorge walking and body boarding, and all of the activities were so much fun!!! The staff were also very kind, the food was yummy - my instructor Matt was very helpful and funny and overall, me and my friends had an amazing time!!! I would definitely come again :)

We had the place exclusively. But was a really nice place and everything worked. We even managed to use the BBQ

Super helpful. Excellent accomodation. They saved us after our tent flooded and offered accomodation for a family of 3 late at night. Thank you so much for being so kind. We will be back for a action packed stay next time.

Remembered this place around 4 years ago because I went there with my secondary school. The place is good, the staff are marvellous and the activity's were amazing. If anyone who is still in school wants their school year to do a trip, I would recommend this place because there are perfect with schools manly teens.

Organised white water kayaking with a small group of friends with mixed abilities. Gareth, our instructer was superb. He gave clear instructions and catered for everyone in the group giving individual feedback to help us improve and supported us when we needed encouragement. Everyone left smiling and feeling a sense of achievement. Would highly recommend.

It is a great place to get out and about with amazing and supportive people. We did rock climbing and even though some of us were scared, we got through it! Felt so good about ourselves after we did it. The food and accommodation is really good. Everybody is so nice and friendly, I would recommend it to so many people!

Had the pleasure of visiting here for a few days with a young group of children. The staff are absolutely brilliant. Their approach to the children helped them to make many experiences and memories that will stick with them for life.

Thanks for the best experience of my life and the surport I was given to go past my fears and overcome them I visited with nunnery wood in dec 2021 and wished I could go back but sadly all the places for the trip got taken I had Mary as my group leader and she was amazing would go again if given the opportunity

Great hostel location, not far from Llanberis and snowdon.

Absolutely love this place!

Recently attended an RCI course here and was impressed with the organisation and depth of knowledge from the instructors. Highly recommended 👍

When I went I did lots of really fun activities. I would say if the weather was always sunny then you could do a lot more activities.

Amazing destination for an activity day outside
So many options and the ability to adjust to your level
Will be back to try out more

Beautiful
