Hagg Farm - Hope Valley

Our school brought a group of Year 6 children here for a 3-day residential stay this week. We couldn't have been more pleased! The children and staff alike absolutely loved every minute of our time at Hagg Farm.

The instructors were extremely knowledgeable, professional and welcoming. They led our groups on several exciting activities, such as abseiling from a bridge and caving near Castleton. The more nervous children were put right at ease, and they were encouraged without pushing them too far. It felt like a very safe experience, despite all of us being pushed out of our comfort zones!

We took a hike around the local area and to the local reservoirs, which provided the most breathtaking views. The local area is full of exciting wildlife and educational opportunities, which the children revelled in.

The buildings themselves appear to be up-to-date and possibly recently renovated. The bedrooms were comfortable and spacious, providing space for items to be stored away safely. The games room in the larger building kept the kids entertained for ages! In the smaller building, the little social room with a TV was also great for them to sit and relax. We were provided with excellent catering options, even providing gluten-free and vegan options. Teaching staff were also provided with back packs full of safety equipment, radios, phones with reception and first aid packs. Everyone was provided with walking boots and suitable empty backpacks too.

I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to book a residential!

I went on a trip with youth here and it was great yesterday we did rock climbing and lip line where we had to try get the "octopus" (it was a frog) in the circles to get points. Today we went into a river up in the hills and as everyone was falling and laughing I took the dry option but then the puddles got me feet wet as I went in them and then I just said I might as well jump in so I did. Real nice place staff are very friendly and helpful and reassuring if ur scared of heights or scared of anything that's is involved in the activitys and then u will do it and wish u had done it before.
Beautiful view looking over the sheep's in the back field area with a lil slide. Great place would definitely go again and suggesting it to ppl

Basic hostel facilities, rooms clean but can smell of sweaty feet! Very well equipped kitchen. Shower rooms and clean linen available for an extra cost. Located in a lovely area of Derbyshire great walks from the location.

Great educational residence and a pleasant place for a corporate stay, Howard was a great guide and a credit to the place. Will probably bring the kids in the future. The accommodation is designed for kids so if your looking for a luxury stay, find somewhere else, if you just need a place to leave kit, have a shower and lay your head then it's fine as accommodation.
