Terrible management
(Hiring but will tell you about them) I applied in early March, being told the earliest interview was in mid-April, but I took it anyway, as I really wanted to work for them. However, it was then cancelled the week before, after they said that they had filled all their spots before I even had a chance to interview. After that, they then called me in late April asking me if I wanted to interview for the same job at the same place because the role opened up again, and I accepted, as the interview was a few days later. However, just to be thrown around more, they then cancelled it 10 minutes before the interview because they filled it again (the interview time was at 8 am). If this is how they are in hiring, I would hate to see what actually working for them is like. HIGHLY UNPROFESSIONAL especiall since the job is still up on all sites as hiring whilst writing this.
Cassie Newton is a super star
Cassie Newton is a super star, her and the team made the whole thing pleasurable and efficient.
The students really enjoyed themselves, and the value for money is the reason we return year after year.
Girlguiding Takeover Weekend
Took my Girlguiding units, a brilliant place excellent staff and facilities. Everyone enjoyed their visit were already planning another trip and only been home a week.
We have always had a great experience…
We have always had a great experience at PGL, and I would like to highlight that the catering was outstanding. The team managed dietary requirements exceptionally well, and the support provided by the dining hall staff—from managers to chefs—was excellent.
My daughter is shy in nature
My daughter is shy in nature, and came back having had the most fantastic time. Loved all the activities, the people she met, the team working with her.
Shes looking forward to going back this summer.
A very pleased mum with a very happy daughter.
My daughter has been on a number of PGL…
My daughter has been on a number of PGL Activity weeks, and always comes back, having made lots of friends and tried out lots of activities. As a parent, knowing it's a week with less time on phones, is also a big positive.
shocking not good
Brilliant Brownie Takeover at Osmington Bay. Everything including the weather was…
We booked early and the office Staff were really understanding and accommodating as we had Brownies with special needs. Everything we asked for was met meaning when we arrived it was an easy to settle into rooms and late meal
everything including the weather was brilliant. Organisation was really good, staff helpful and caring. Site and accommodation really clean and cared for. The Brownies had a mega super time with super memories to share with their families.
Accommodation in France- SHOCKING!
A great company, but it is a shame that the accommodation and some staff members let it down.
The accommodation for the young people was very poor, stains on sheets and bathrooms were very mouldy. It is certainly not value for money for schools to go. I have used the site several times now and this latest time was very poor.
I would definitely recommend PGL trips…
I would definitely recommend PGL trips to other schools. There was an excellent range of activities for the children to take part in, including abseiling, zip wiring, and campfires, which kept everyone engaged and excited throughout. The food was very good, with no complaints at all, and the sleeping arrangements were comfortable and well-organised. The staff were friendly, supportive, and highly accommodating, which really contributed to the overall experience. Most importantly, all of the children had a fantastic time.
This is our 5th year of attending PGL…
This is our 5th year of attending PGL sites for our residential trip. They are always so well organised and the staff are well trained, and lovely. The accommodation, food, and activities are all excellent and there really is nothing I can fault, especially the cost.
A great experience
This was made fabulous for children because of the kind, caring and knowledgeable staff. As trip leader any anxieties I had were allayed. Good both day and night. Go to Bawdsey as it is a great site with a wonderful community culture.
An Excellent First Visit
The facilities were excellent, the activities well organised and staff friendly and helpful.
A great way for young and old to enjoy…
A great way for young and old to enjoy a family holiday, fun things to do all day from breakfast through to the bar in the evening. Twins and parents went to bed tired but smiling every evening food for everyone, activities for all interests from the calm to the dynamic, to the competitive to the individual challenge, thoughtful to the instinctive.
Great staff
Great staff. Clean environment. My daughter has attended since the the of 12. She has just gone on her last visit as she is now 16. She has gone on her own to various centres. The development of her confidence interpersonal skills and access to different activities has been substancial. Always happy involved and has made lots of new friends across the country. Great use of childcare vouchers for older children
Activity Day
We went for a day as a family. 3 activities and lunch. Fantastic value for money. My son has autism and wanted to visit prior to his school residential to alleviate any anxieties. The staff were aware of this and went above and beyond to make it a fab day for him and for us all. They were all so welcoming and positive. They encouraged and supported so well. I would highly recommend this experience to families.
