Excellent instructors. Admin a bit disorganised. (September 2021 - Secondary School)

Young people really enjoyed the day the instructors are really down to earth friendly and vary professional, the instructors made the day. Calton lodge is well managed and kept, the admin staff are amazing and nothing was too out there for them. Really looked after the group before the trip and during. (August 2021 - Secondary School)

Carlton Lodge provided us with a great day of activities to replace our planned residential week. The instructors were great with the children and everything was organised really well (June 2021 - Primary School)

Carlton Lodge was simply the venue for activities organised by other companies therefore I feel I can not give a fair evaluation of the centre and its own activities. (November 2019 - Primary School)

Amazing 3 days (July 2018 - Primary School)

(July 2018 - Secondary School)

This was the first time that we have visited a smaller residential centre for our annual year 6 visit and we will never look back. The site is fantastic: very safe, secluded and purposeful with outstanding facilities. Being a smaller centre, the highly skilled staff team were able to listen to the children's needs and were brilliant in tailoring activities for each group's needs and interests. I was amazed at how well the staff seemed to know the children and provided such different variations of the same activity (kayaking and raft building for nervous / competant swimmers etc.)The offsite programme was also very well planned. Children were able to have 'real' experiences of caving and bouldering at Brimham Rocks and the Manchester hole under the safe instruction of the centre's expert instructors. Being one of only two schools on site, with our own accommodation and amenity block, really maximised the children's experience of being away. They had time to enjoy the activities fully and freedom to unwind properly on an evening. We have already re-booked for next year. (June 2018 - Primary School)

Staff were fantastic. The children did a good range of activities but were hampered by the snow on one day where we should have had a better back plan of alternative activities. (February 2018 - Primary School)
