From the Stag Party

I cannot heap enough praise on the Bearded Men. We stayed with them for my brothers stag doo at their new camp in the woods. It honestly was one of the best weekends we have ever done. The camp is beautiful and super well laid out. it is also miles from civilisation so no chance of the noise police getting you. Hugh, Jason and the BMA team were great, any issues we had were sorted within minutes and they went overboard making sure we had the best time. Highly recommend the Canyoning, everyone loved that, the rafting was superb and a really good way to end off the weekend (and get rid of the hangovers…). The last thing to say is that the food was awesome, quality and HUGE BBQ on the Friday and nothing, I repeat NOTHING, will beat the breakfast baps. We had several vegans and vegetarians in our group and they all got the same top quality food. Do not hesitate to book with BMA they were excellent all round.
