PGL Travel Reviews 

Experience was ok but slipped because of poor health and safety also there was definitely fleas in the bed because I came back with massive bug bites and the shower was dirty and horrible

We had a great trip with a group of 160 year 8 students. They had a wonderful experience and were kept busy by the PGL staff.

2nd Chepstow Brownies has an amazing time and pgl was amazing with my late additional needs and our food allergy girl and a girl with us that had a broken wrist ty to all staff

The staff at Little Canada were so accommodating. Nothing was too much trouble for our group leader. The catering staff went above and beyond to support pupils and staff with food intolerences. We all had a great time.

We recently took a group of students to PGL Liddington and had an exceptional experience from start to finish. The organisation, facilities and activities were all excellent, but what really made the trip stand out were the fantastic activity leaders. They were enthusiastic, professional, encouraging and built great relationships with our students from day one.
The inclusivity shown throughout the week was particularly impressive. Every student, regardless of ability, confidence level or individual needs, was supported and encouraged to take part. The leaders adapted activities where needed and ensured everyone felt valued, included and able to succeed.
Our students returned with greater confidence, resilience and countless positive memories. Thank you to the entire PGL team for creating such a welcoming and inspiring environment. We would highly recommend PGL Liddington to any school looking to provide an unforgettable residential experience.

Excellent experience well organised and great value

I went there and it was great the staff were nice food was good and the activities were great apart from the last day which got cut short due to a virus but it was to do with the school not the site so I would definitely recommend.

We brought a group of Y8 and Y9 pupils and we had a brilliant time - dragon boat racing, vertical challenge, sensory trail - something for everyone. I would definitely recommend it - this is not just for primary schools.

Our Y6 residential trip was excellent! Our leader was fantastic, ensuring we were in the right place at the right time. The range of activities were great too and gave our children many opportunities to try something new. This was one of the best residential trips I have been on! I can't wait for next year!

We stayed at Newby Wiske PGL with Rangers (Girlguiding) aged 14-18. Every activity was pitched appropriately, the food was delicious, the accommodation comfortable. If you are a Girlguiding leader looking for an adventurous residential with your girls - Go For It!

Our recent trip with PGL was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. The experience was fun, engaging, and thoroughly enjoyable for everyone involved. The leaders were outstanding—friendly, interactive, supportive, and great at encouraging all of the children to get involved and challenge themselves.
The children engaged positively throughout the trip and had the most incredible time. They conquered fears, built confidence, developed friendships, and created memories that will stay with them for years to come. It was wonderful to see them thrive away from home while enjoying new experiences alongside their friends and teachers.
Thank you to the whole PGL team at Boreatton Park Shropshire for providing such a well-organised and unforgettable experience. We would highly recommend PGL to any school looking to give their pupils a fun, rewarding, and confidence-building adventure.

Our residential trip to PGL Boreatton Park was an absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish. The children embraced every challenge with enthusiasm, showing courage, resilience and teamwork throughout the week. From the exciting activities to the beautiful surroundings, every moment provided opportunities for learning, personal growth and unforgettable memories.
The PGL staff were exceptional—supportive, encouraging and full of energy—helping every child to feel confident and included. It was wonderful to see friendships strengthen, new skills develop and so many smiling faces throughout the trip. A truly amazing residential experience that will be remembered for years to come! 🌟🏕️👏

An absolutely fantastic experience! Every child was engaged, safe and now walking away with some amazing experiences and memories! Charlie was a great group leader, the instructors were fantastic and chef’s kiss to the care and attention from the Chefs.. we had a range of dietary needs and they went above and beyond for each one… we are looking forward to booking again!

Our recent PGL residential was brilliant. We were there for 3 days during the heatwave and the children had a fabulous time. Gorgeous settings and we stayed in the tent village, so that was lots of fun! Our timetable was jam packed with exciting activities and they even changed one to a water activity when we got there as we were missing anything like that on our timetable and it was super timing, as it was a hot day!
The food was great and there was a lot of choice, we felt very looked after. The instructors were very helpful, informative, fun but we felt very looked after and safe too. Lots of the children tried activities they initially were very nervous about. Any problems we had (there were not many!!) were sorted out very quickly and our fab leader, Ava, was brilliant.
Our school have already booked in for next year, can't wait!

the staff, our groupie was amazing, we took yr 11 SEN pupils and the staff really helped, it was a very small group, but they made the trip. Catering has improved a lot and were very helpful with fussy eaters, waking night staff on site were very helpful with wondering pupils and sorting room issues. overall a really good experience and farewell to the leavers. The activities we had were also really good and not what they had tried before.

Amazing experience. Friendly staff who went above and beyond with our students and catered for all of our needs. Will definitley be booking again.

Booked for June 2027 already.
Excellent adventure for all.

Me and my friend got stuck on the giant swing and didnt get another try and the mattres felt like rocks

We had an absolutely fantastic experience at PGL Bawdsey Manor and could not have asked for a better residential trip for our children.
From the moment we arrived, the enthusiasm, professionalism and encouragement from the staff were exceptional. A special thank you must go to Gracie, our amazing group leader, who was simply outstanding throughout the whole trip. Her energy, patience and ability to build rapport with every child helped make the experience truly unforgettable.
The range of activities was incredible. The children threw themselves into challenges including the zip line, abseiling, climbing, challenge course, raft building and the giant swing, along with many other exciting activities. Every activity pushed the children out of their comfort zones in the best possible way, helping them develop confidence, resilience, teamwork and determination.
What impressed us most was seeing sides of the children that we had never seen before in school. Some children discovered newfound courage, others emerged as natural leaders, and many surprised themselves and their peers with what they were capable of achieving. The activities brought out hidden strengths, encouraged friendships to flourish and gave every child the opportunity to shine.
Watching children support one another, celebrate successes and overcome fears was incredibly rewarding. The sense of achievement on their faces after completing challenging activities was priceless.
PGL Bawdsey Manor provided an experience that was fun, adventurous and educational all at once. The memories made will stay with our children for years to come. Thank you to Gracie and the entire PGL team for creating such a positive, inspiring and unforgettable experience. We would highly recommend Bawdsey Manor to any school looking for an exceptional residential adventure

Great accommodation for the children and challenging activities. Lot of our pupils, have stated that PGL will be the most memorable experience of their last year of primary school - would not hesitate to recommend it to other schools.
