Excellent weekend at Windmill Hill with my Cub Scout pack.
Everything went as planned, 10 activities completed with many of the cubs pushing their boundaries way beyond what we - or they expected!
Food was great, rooms were clean and well planned and the PGL leaders we had with us were fantastic!
I’d been as a leader before but this time I was the organising leader and it was better than the previous time 3 years ago…
We will definitely be back!

Fantastic experience. Great friendly staff.

My son went on a discovery two night stay at the Liddington camp in Wiltshire and came back enchanted. He was very well looked after by his group leader and other members of the team. Communication with parents was excellent. A great range of outdoor activities was provided throughout the stay. My son came back with a greater sense of self confidence and independence.

9 year old loved his break
ADHD & autism but The camp team were brilliant with him

A wide range of activities, really friendly staff. Great food and accommodation.

It was easy to book - using a provisional date until we could confirm numbers.
The instructors were superb, knowledgeable and approachable.
The food was great - well labelled for dietary and cultural considerations. When some of our party were delayed the canteen staff made up sandwiches for them as some folk arrived after the canteen shut. The canteen staff interacted well with our children.
Our team leader Tobyn entertained the children well and was very patient and tolerant with them. They loved his costumes.
Everyone enjoyed learning new songs to sing between activities. There was no hanging around waiting for things to happen, the activities followed on one after another and no-one had time to be bored or homesick. The programme was well balanced with a physical activity followed by something less strenuous. The instructors knew their subject well and gave clear instructions.
Considering the amount of food on offer and the varied activities, the cost of £150.00 was extremely reasonable.

The activities were amazing but the food was horrific, I couldn't even bring my self to eat. The meat was dangerously undercooked, the yoghurt was 12 days beyond its expiry date. Many kids on my trip had fallen ill.
A few had rashes, hopefully due to the rough pillow cases and not the lots of bugs in and around the room. There were dead flies in the showers, or should I say the only shower that worked. There was a dorm for twenty one kids but luckily only fourteen where in it only because only one of the two showers in James Dorm worked so even when we where allowed in our dorms there wasn't enough time to get showers.
I had to go home early and miss the causeway walk because I was sick and trembly and I wasn't the only one there were multiple other students saying how sick they felt. The trip was over £300 and I feel as though we deserve a refund. The accommodation was an essential part of the residential trip and we were disappointed to have been let down so badly.

We had an amazing family weekend at PGL Caythorpe Court! The team were friendly and welcoming, the activities were brilliant, and the laughs we shared with our group made it unforgettable. The lodge was cosy, the meals delicious, and everything ran perfectly. We can’t wait to come back!

PGL is a professional, friendly, caring, safe organisation that puts the children's interests at its heart. No issue is to small, they go out of their way to make everyone enjoy their time. The food choice is excellent and if you have children with food issues they will offer alternatives. No child went hungry. Big smiles all day.

I was a first time trip leader for a Brownie sleepover to PGL and can’t wait to arrange our next adventure there. Everything was so straight forward - nine amazing activities with variety. Would recommend unreservedly!

Room sizes were good and all accommodation was in one area.
Some activities cut short due to inclement weather but no alternatives planned.
Large party with specific catering needs but not always enough choice available.

Great staff and a well-organised centre. Good balance of activities, nice accommodation and a beautiful setting in a real castle. The children will remember this visit for a long time!

Our Young Carers had a fantastic time at Dalguise, they conquered some new heights and fears, whilst forming new friendships and making memories to last a lifetime! The staff are fantastic and really do the make effort with the young people and staff! Highly recommend.

PGL were excellent and helped to take a great deal of the stress out of this Paris Residential Trip. The tour guide and activity leaders were excellent.

I wanted to give a huge shout-out to PGL Little Canada for their exceptional service during our visit. Lucy went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed, offering help with a positive and friendly attitude. Additionally, Sam and Jacob were lifesavers when we found ourselves in a bit of a bind. We truly appreciate the dedication and teamwork from the whole team—PGL Little Canada always leaves a lasting impression on us!

Parents Get Lost! Our children had the best time, from the activities to choices of food. Staff went out of their way to make the children's experiences magical Year on year we have seen improvements made to the centres. Your children are in safe hands!

Our PGL residential experience was absolutely fantastic. Everything ran smoothly from the moment we arrived — the team were organised, welcoming, and fully prepared for our group.

The accommodation was clean, comfortable, and well suited to our pupils and adults. The catering was excellent, and special attention was given to dietary requirements, which was very much appreciated.

The range of activities was brilliant — well planned, age-appropriate, and kept the children engaged throughout, special attention was given to SEND Needs, The days were packed with fun and challenge, allowing pupils to experience as much as possible during their stay.

Overall, it was great value for money and a thoroughly positive experience for both staff and pupils. We’ll definitely be returning next year!

The staff at Little Canada are excellent and understand the complexity of needs in any group. Staff are enthusiastic and want every child to engage and enjoy their experiences.
There is a great range of different activities available.

From the minute we arrived at Barton Hall we were treated with professionalism and care. Our group of 8 SEN students were communicated to with respect and the relationship between PGL staff, Students and school staff was amazing. Information, activities meals, accommodation was fantastic. We will be visiting again and with a larger group. Thank you.
