Adventure Connections レビュー 153

I booked my hen party at Rhos Sea Manor and honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The house itself was incredible - beautiful, spacious, and perfect for a special weekend with loved ones.

From start to finish, the homeowners and Adventure Connections were attentive, flexible, and so helpful throughout the whole process. Nothing felt like too much trouble, and they made everything so easy and stress-free for us.

I would highly recommend Rhos Sea Manor for any group celebration or getaway. We had the most amazing time and made memories we’ll never forget!

We stayed at the Brighton pavilion gatehouse, we had a fab weekend, we celebrated our bride to be with a group of 24 people, the house was spacious and very well equipped, and in a great central area that’s close to everything! Grace at adventure connections was great too.

Just celebrated our bride to be at Brighton’s pavilion gatehouse. 24 of us and was perfect. Brilliant location for brightons nightlife. The house is very spacious and perfect for what we needed. Would absolutely reccomend for a big party booking!!

We have an absolutely smashing time in our accommodation in Brighton. The adventure connections team were extremely helpful and ensured we had all the information required. Highly recommended.

I honestly can’t thank this company enough for organising the most incredible hen do for my best friend! From start to finish, everything was planned perfectly and ran so smoothly.

The team was professional, responsive, and made the whole process completely stress-free. They really listened to what we wanted and brought it all together in a way that exceeded our expectations. Every detail was taken care of, which meant we could just relax and enjoy the weekend.

The activities were so much fun, the organisation was seamless, and the bride had the absolute best time — which is all that mattered most to us. It was such a special and memorable experience, and that’s all thanks to their hard work.

I would 100% recommend them to anyone planning a hen do. You won’t be disappointed! 💕

We recently used Adventure Connections for a uni reunion. We had a lovely property in the New Forest- Hideaway Lodge. All the staff at Adventure Connections were professional and helpful, assisting us with finding a suitable property which was suitable for our stay. Sam and Grace were our point of contact, and made sure our visit was planned to our needs. Nothing was too much trouble, queries were answered in a timely manner. We would definitely recommend this company. Thank you.

We used Adventure Connections for my sisters Hen Do and stayed at an incredible house in Manchester. They planned and sorted all the details of the activities we wanted to include, and checked in every step of the way. Communication and customer service were absolutely fantastic from start to finish and I’d definitely recommend planning big events through them! Can’t fault them at all.

Used Adventure Connections for a stag do in Bristol - was unreal! They handled everything and were super helpful. Questions were answered quickly and the house was just what we were after. Would def use again

We stayed over Christmas with our family and couldn’t have been happier. The house was perfect and Grace was so helpful, even helped book a chef for christmas eve. Would definitely book again

The whole process was very smooth, communication was excellent. We had a great time with all the activities, great value for money as well. Thank you very much.

Great service - helped find a house for a large group of us based on our requirements!

Nice house, good service

Do NOT book through this company. Wish I had read the reviews before. I booked and paid through the phone for everything with Sam as I was having trouble accessing the portal so was told not to worry and everything can be done over the phone. I asked for the location of this accommodation after payment and was told they couldn't release the address until closer to the time but it would be in the centre of the northern quarter and a close walk. (Fair)

Paid in full, and was told yep that's everything done! Nothing else needed now and you'll get your check in details closer to the time. Brilliant.

Until 2 days prior to the event I get an email requesting another £500 for a security deposit which I was not told about when booking/ anywhere throughout the process. Never mind leaving it 2 days before like I have £500 just sat in the bank! Caused me so much stress that I didn't need.

Day of the event - Turns out another group of 20 girls were also at the accommodation sharing access to the hot tub which is advertised as though you get it included in your apartment ( it was in the basement) which we were told nothing about and made it seem like this was an accommodation you got to yourselves. The locks didn't even work so no security to the property at all and it was a 25 minute walk to the northern quarter, (not a short walk at all)

The customer service you get is shocking don't bother. False advertisement and once they have your money they don't care.

The mirror in the bedroom had been knocked off the wall by accident and they kept £120 back to replace a B&M cheap mirror. Joke!

I booked one of these smart houses for my 40th birthday and paid in full 6 weeks in advance. 3 days before check-in, Adventure Connections called to say the owner of the house had cancelled the booking without explanation.

When I asked how this was possible they said it just is. For some bizarre reason, Adventure Connections’ business model allows the owners of the houses to cancel ANY time (including the day before). Even when fully paid (which begs the question as to why pay deposits, what exactly are you paying for when you pay in advance?)

AC offered me 2 different houses - 1 was £900 more than my booking, the other had 3x 1-star reviews saying the owner had swindled guests out of their deposits (the ’Grand Lothian Retreat’). Both options unacceptable.

I asked for my money back so I could book somewhere else, AC said it would take 28 days. They offered to do it in 5, but this meant I was out of pocket until after my birthday weekend, so I was unable to book anywhere else.

I asked for a BACS transfer to get my money back the same day. They refused, citing something about anti-money-laundering (difficult to believe given there were legitamate transactions, and an email paper trail between me and them).

Had friends travelling from Oz for this, they had nowhere to stay, had £100’s of food bought (pal is a chef) - all wasted, couldn’t even book a restaurant as it was so short notice. 40th birthday party for 16 people utterly ruined; complete shambles.

Please beware: if you are booking with these guys, YES they have smart houses, NO, you are no guaranteed the booking - even if you pay in full - it can be cancelled by the owner any time.

Great accommodation, smooth process with good communication and understand of our large groups needs. Would recommend to anyone looking to plan a weekend away for a group of friends or family. Thank you

The customer service was great throughout my experience with Adventure connections, especially with Sam and Grace.

The property more than lived up to the pictures and everything went smoothly without a hitch.

Would highly recommend this company to any one I come across,

Great communication with this company, very pleased with everything. Would 100% recommend to anyone. Thank you 😊

I recently attended a weekend away with 17 university friends. I booked through Adventure Connections to have the protection of a company booking on our behalf and already having connections with the homeowners.
The process was straightforward, and they provided all the information needed. At times, communication was not great via email, but a quick phone call, and someone is always on the phone to answer any questions.
Would most definitely use again!

Just book an Air BNB instead.

I had an awful experience through this company. I was organising a stag do near Oxford and had everything booked and the deposit paid early in the year. The full balance was paid a couple of months later and a couple of months in advance of the stag. 2 weeks before the stag which was on a bank holiday weekend I was informed that the property was no longer available. An alternative much smaller property was then suggested. No discount was offered until I asked for it. I asked for 50% off but was offered £600 off which was more like a 25% of the cost. At this point I had such limited options that I had to begrudgingly accept or cancel the stag. Shortly after this was agreed I was informed for the first time, despite having paid the full balance for the larger property and being owed a £600 refund, that an additional £750 security deposit was required! It took several weeks for the £600 to be credited to me so shortly before the stag Adventure Connections had thousands of pounds of my money on what felt like very shaky grounds. The alternative property that was ultimately made available to us was much smaller and of a very disappointing standard. The kitchen was infested with ants and the small garden was covered in what I would assume was dog shit.
The stag did go ahead but the stress in the build up to it was awful and the quality of the property was very poor for the money but due to the timings I was over a barrel with very limited alternative and with Adventure Connections holding my funds and failing to refund me in short time period.
It took over a month for me to be refunded the "surprise" security deposit.

It was a terrible experience and I have organised several trips like this and have never had so much difficulty. As Adventure Connections acts as a broker you could argue it's not their fault that the owner of the property pulled out last minute but based on what happened it raises the question what role does Adventure Connections play if they can't control what they are selling you? Furthermore the way that the finances were handled meant that I was completely blindsided with an additional charge of £750 at time when I was being told I would be owed a refund of £600 in what was already a very disappointing situation. AC will say you are not charged for the security deposit but it left my account and was not accessible to me for over a month at which point it was eventually returned.

I wish I had taken on board a review like this or the others like it before considering making a booking with AC. There are so many more professional easy to hand accommodation sites out there that don't come with surprise last minute charges.

Recently returned from a hen weekend at “Mulberry House” in Bournemouth, only the property had a different name (confusing) and absolutely does not match the description on the AC website.
I wasn’t the organiser of the trip, but as far as I’m aware Adventures connections themselves were good to work with. My review is about the property and attitude of the owner, not a criticism of Adventure connections .
This is the published description: “ABOUT BOURNEMOUTH MULBERRY HOUSE
When it’s time to rest, Mulberry House has five beautifully decorated bedrooms to ensure a peaceful night’s sleep for all guests.

Fully equipped kitchen with modern appliances, ample counter space, and a wide range of utensils”.

This could not be less accurate. The decor throughout is plain white and completed to a very poor standard.

The so called “well equipped kitchen” did not even have a kettle! The one teapot was for two cups only… in a house which sleeps 18 people!

There was not enough space in the kitchen or lounge to seat all 14 of us and the dining chair blocked the fridge.

Some areas of the house were filthy and in poor condition, such as the patio doors.

The lounge sits 7 at a push on two ridiculous sofas which have no back support! There is one additional “chair” which is filthy and in poor condition. There’s barely any room to bring in any dining chairs either. The outdoor cushions take up a lot of space, stored in the lounge and they are filthy.

The bunk beds are extremely uncomfortable and too small for adults. They are rammed into each room with no shelves, drawers, wardrobes or even a measly hook to hang anything! Even the bathroom had nowhere to hang anything or even put a toothbrush down, never mind a washbag!

We just managed to stretch out the toilet roll supply between 14 of us for 2 days!

The bathmat had a suspicious looking brown stain on it! The windows were difficult to open and close and there are too few plug sockets in the rooms with beds blocking the use of some!

The heating kept coming on - in June! So it was far too hot at night.

Advertised as a property for large parties, it is inevitable that there will be some noise…. The property is in a residential area and a “security guard” lurks outside to stop hirers using the hot tub or making too much noise! Frankly this was horrible. A house full of women, knowing there was a man lurking outside felt very uncomfortable. It’s a party house, where partying is forbidden! How ridiculous. I feel this property does not reflect Adventure connections in a good way.
