Activities
Canadian Canoes
Canadian Canoes are open canoes that need two people to steer and can also carry a third passenger. They take a bit of practice to get the hang of, but after a bit of zig-zagging you should be able to steer them in a straight line and head off down river. You can pack a picnic and a few beers into the canoe and then set off to explore stunning countryside at your own leisurely pace.
The river winds along for around 10 miles before finishing in the
picturesque village of Hay-on-Wye where you will be picked up and
transported back to your starting point.
More Details
- Canoes require two people to control and can carry a third person
- This activity can be booked with or without an instructor
- Wear comfortable clothing that’s appropriate for the time of the year.
- Life jackets will be provided but you should also be a competent swimmer
- Duration half or full day
Horse Riding
Riding horses is a marvelous way to explore the outdoors. So why not mount a steed during your hen weekend and enjoy a trek that ventures along woodland trails, across open moors and through streams or rivers. Whether you walk, trot, canter or gallop will depend on your level of experience and will be at the discretion of the instructors. Most treks last for one or two hours but more experienced riders can often opt for a half day ride and include a lunch stop at a country pub.
More Details
- Wear riding boots or sturdy footwear with a heel
- Wear long trousers and comfortable clothing that’s appropriate for the time of year
- Riding hats will be provided but feel free to bring your own
- Your instructor will assess your ability before deciding on the nature of your ride
- Duration 1 or 2 hours
Visit the Local Pubs
After a tiring day of exciting activities you will no doubt be in need of some liquid refreshment. There are plenty of country pubs to choose from where you can enjoy a few glasses (or bottles!) of wine and a hearty meal.More Details
- Keep drinking until you hear the bell
- Pubs are just short taxi ride away in Brecon or Hay-on-Wye

Thank you myself and all the girls had a fantastic weekend! every one of us would recommend the cocktail making it was brilliant...the hotel and service was fine.<br>
by S Harris (May 2012)
We had a absolutely brilliant night!!! The cocktail making was fantastic and the party buss even better. The hotel was much better than I expected. After I had read reviews I was quite worried but the hotel was clean with a great room...and the staff were really friendly and helpful so that was good too...Thanx for providing a brilliant hen night. Please tell David thank you as he really saved us from the mistake I made in booking the wrong night (doh!) and answered all my questions and most of all set up the hen night with everything we wanted perfectly.

We had a really good time, the Hotel was great, Paul the manager made us more than welcome. We didn’t have any complaints at all.<br>We had a ball and the photo’s reflect that………….Thanks very much :)
by S Jones (May 2012)
Yes we had an excellent time and I think the biggest thank you should be to you guys at Escape especially David, for making it relatively easy for me as organiser. The guy from the butler company called Harry, was lovely, prompt, polite, and very very good sport, he had no quarms about being 'quiz master' for some of the games the girls had prepared.<br> <br> The accomodation was well appointed, clean and good location...The cocktail making was fantastic, much better than similar activity that some of us had done previously with work, the mixologist was very very good and entertaining, the food provided was an adequate snack (in line with what we were expecting, we ended up staying a while and buying more) and two full drinks each plus the cocktails we made tasting was good value we thought. They were exceptionally accomodating of one of our guests who was on tranquilisers folowing a fractured lumbar spine and made sure she was comfortable and made up non alcoholic mixes for her.<br> <br> All in all a very positive experience and I have already passed on your companies details to other people. Thanks once again.

I would like to say thank you. We all had a fantastic time. The food at the restaurant you booked for us was very enjoyable. Our favourite part was the hotel. It's facilities were amazing and the staff were vey frendly. Bar service was a little slow but we were happy with the atmosphere so didn't mind waiting around a little longer for drinks...Thank you for efforts in organising this trip. It's much appreciated.

Our hen weekend was excellent and we can not fault the service we received both from yourselves and your suppliers.Hotel was excellent all rooms big, clean, comfortable and nicely furnished. Breakfast was great, cooked items very fresh and not at all greasy and a good selection of pastries, fruit and cereal. The spa was very nice but small, three of our party had massages which we all enjoyed.<br><br>Restaurant food was very nice and plentiful and all the staff friendly and welcoming, they had sat our party under a heater and provided blankets as it was a little chilly. They also gave us a free jug of sangria. The maps provided with the VIP cards were a great help in finding our way around as many of the nicer bars are spread out. <br><br>All in all an excellent night and I would have no hesitation in recommending Escape trips to my friends and would certainly use you again should I need to arrange anything similar in the future.
