Why Choose Acorn?

Some lovely reviews from our customers

It was awesome! The children have said that it was by far the best holiday we have had as a family. Staff were fun and friendly and encouraged us all to push ourselves. The timetable was well planned and kept us all busy. Lovely having it all planned for us. Brilliant!

REBECCA GEDDES

Just back home from a week at the Ardèche centre. Couldn’t recommend it highly enough. First class food, even freshly prepared on the river bank. Brilliant. Instructors very knowledgeable and brimming with enthusiasm. Steve and Lauren caving – great. Rich( dick) homer kayaking super. And Becky on the decent – brilliant. Thanks again. Kids in bed, me soaking in the bath! Cheers Paul( the daft bald fireman).

P Rowlands

First time been with acorn at their Normandy campsite, it was BRILLIANT!! We both loved it , activities were great , food really tasty , staff fantastic . Met a great bunch of people.

C R Granger

My 5 year old daughter is still, 3 weeks later, talking about the paddleboard instructor (he looked a bit like David Walliams!!) who put her in the water to splash around, whilst I got chance to paddleboard. Awesome day! Thanks to him please, as otherwise I would have had to leave the activity as I did with kayaking. Much appreciated! Thanks to everyone. Faultless holiday. Perfect.

J Safari

If you want happy, exhausted children then try this holiday. There was an excellent mix of activities and evening entertainment that we would not change and left my son wanting more

Mr Parsons

As mentioned previously this is the fourth year my son and I have holidayed with Acorn (two times in Brecon and once here). We absolutely love it and always rave about it to our friends. As a single parent it is good value for money, we always make friends and have a laugh. What more could you ask for from a holiday! See you next year

Anne Marie

Without exception the staff were caring, polite, professional and exceptionally enthusiastic. The staff made the trip enjoyable and always ensured that all people were fully included and engaged – Exceptional service

Nicola McDermott

We can’t speak highly enough of the staff – they were friendly, warm, hardworking, good natured, tolerant, helpful, fun and professional –
each and every one. A fantastic team to be proud of.

Catherine Jennings

Different altogether and a wonderful experience.

Briony Davies

I can honestly say I’ve had the best time ever!.

DIY Family Holiday vs. Acorn Family Adventure – Which Offers the Best Value?

Planning a family holiday to France can be an exciting experience, but with so many costs to consider—flights, transfers, meals, activities—it can quickly become overwhelming (not to mention expensive!). At Acorn Family Holidays, we believe that adventure holidays should be stress-free, great value, and packed with fun. But how does our all-inclusive Ardèche Adventure compare to a DIY self-catered holiday? Let’s break it down…

Kayaking the Ardèche River: An Unforgettable Family Adventure

Looking for a thrilling yet family-friendly adventure this summer? Kayaking the Ardèche River offers an unforgettable experience filled with excitement, stunning scenery, and expert guidance to ensure a safe and enjoyable journey. Acorn Family Holidays provides the perfect opportunity to explore this spectacular waterway as part of an expertly led adventure for single-parent families.

Stress-Free Travel to the Ardèche: Why Our Coach and Ferry Package is the Perfect Choice

Planning a family holiday as a single parent can sometimes feel overwhelming. Between finding the right destination, balancing a budget, and ensuring the kids are entertained, it’s a lot to manage on your own. But the good news is, with a little bit of planning and the right holiday choice, you can create an unforgettable adventure that you and your children will cherish forever.
