The staff were very accomodating and worked hard to ensure all adults and children were happy, with excellent food and suitable activities. The house itself was quite dirty in some areas, with cobwebs, dirty floors and some mouldy food found under beds. In one of the staff bedrooms was a distinct smell of mould and damp, which meant the member of staff had to sleep elsewhere the next night. (September 2024 - Primary School)

Whitwell is great for outdoor learning, enjoying the outdoors, team building, learning new skills. (June 2024 - Primary School)
Organisation of the time table of activities took too long to come through to us.
Activities mostly well organised although the orienteering route did not have a clear path meaning the children had to walk through a lot of stinging nettles and branches.
Pottery, boat building, kayaking, fire lighting were the most popular activities with the children. (June 2024 - Primary School)

personal development and outdoor learning (September 2023 - Primary School)
The venue was a little more run down this year. Taps not working, some toilet and shower doors did not lock, the grass was very long causing more dew. The activities were very late to start on our first day and no real activity for the group in the afternoon / evening.
The team building was fun, but this caused lots of waiting around as the year group were altogether and could have been in smaller groups to engage them more. (September 2023 - Secondary School)
I have done many residential trips but this is by far the best I have ever done. We felt so welcome and the location and venue are brilliant for a bespoke experience that the Whitwell team provide. I can think of nothing I would change and ourselves and our children loved it. I would highly recommend. (July 2023 - Primary School)

This was a trip to prepare those vulnerable children who are going on the residential. None of the above therefore apply. (June 2023 - Primary School)
