I took a group of adults from Germany for a day’s team building activities. One of our students was in an electric wheelchair and obviously had mobility issues. All of the group were adults and a bit nervous to be away from their comfort zones. We undertook two activities – team building in the morning and the mini highland games... More

The good points of the bunkhouse were that it was clean, warm (central heating but no open fire)with a lovely kitchen with one great big gas oven and plenty of hot water (although showers took a little getting used to). However we were very disappointed to find that there was no lounge or anywhere to relax on comfy seats. We... More

We usually adopt a policy of not responding to reviews, good, bad or indifferent, but in this case feel that we do need to clarify the situation regarding some of Kate's comments. We are of course grateful for all business that we get, & are pleased that Kate & her group chose to book with us on an exclusive basis... More

We went Gorge walking and Canoeing on the Spey. It was a great day. The staff were very friendly, helpful and easy to have a laugh with. Gorge walking was a completely new experience and was great fun...but be prepared to get a little bit cold. (It might be quite a good hangover cure) Canoeing was also good fun but... More

Three of us enjoyed an archery session at Craggan and we'd all recommend it. The instructors were helpful and organised but also joined in the banter so it was a good laugh - a good option for families or groups of friends if you fancy trying something different. More

I took part in a 6 week entry level course for aspiring outdoor instructors and had a fantastic time. I came away with a range of qualifications and invaluable experience. The staff were very friendly and put everything into running a top quality centre. The range of activities available and the quality of instruction offer an experience second to none... More

I participated in Craggan's entry level instructor course and it was a great experience. The staff were all very friendly and had excellent technical skills and effective teaching styles. I learnt a lot and came away with all the qualifications possible in the timeframe for my level and this owes a lot to the patience and efforts of the instructors.... More

45 P7 pupils had a fantastic time at Craggan, experiencing Archery and Problem Solving activities. Instructors were great and clearly explained tasks and encouraged all to participate and reach their potential. A super place to visit to develop outdoor education within schools. Will be in touch Keith about repeating this next year! More
