Great holiday in a lovely location.
The good points – fantastic location right on Malham tarn, excellent range and number of activities ran by helpful and very friendly staff – we never left the centre during our whole stay except from the planned excursions. The food was excellent. The grounds had brilliant outside areas for the kids to safely explore and run around in. The room was spacious and en-suite. I would happily return to Malham again – thoroughly recommended.
The bad points – the room had a fair bit of damp in it and smelled foisty. The games room while good in principal wasn’t really usable – the pool cues were broken and there wasn’t much else in it. There were a few families there that were incredibly disrespectful and selfish (e.g deliberate vandalism of facilities and taking vast quantities of food from the ‘off limits’ kitchen to their rooms) – it must be noted that the centre or staff is in no way responsible for these idiots behaviour. These individuals (one large asian group) had no interest in taking part in any activities or the ethos of real family holidays, they were just using the centre as a cheap place to doss. Their behaviour greatly angered everyone else there till they were barred.
