“Hindleap is simply the best. From booking to residential, the care for our school and children is exemplary! Accommodation, food, and the experience and expertise of the instructors is second to none. Our children loved their visit and would live there if they could. The forest surrounding the centre is stunning and there’s always something new happening. In 30 years experience of school residentials, Hindleap stands out.”
