Fabulous place, giving people with disabilities the chance to embrace the outdoors, go climbing, see what it would feel like to go caving and so much more.

Changing places, accessible rooms, hoists, and most importantly amazing staff who go above and beyond to give everybody an amazing experience.

We had a great time at Bendrigg. All the staff are incredibly kind and welcoming; it felt like a home away from home. The meals were spot on, and you could help yourself to coffee, snacks, and fruit in between. Our lead instructor, Simeon, was fantastic—gentle, patient, and always making sure my daughter, who has special needs, experienced all the activities, even when I was worried for her. I can confidently say that no one felt left out, and we all had a lot of fun.

One more thing, I love the scenery of the countryside; it reminded me of my growing up in Nigeria, it's such a perfect place for some reflections as well.

It is an amazing place with an amazing view. Staff are accommodating to every level of need. The activities offered here are specially adapted for wheelchair users with health and safety at the forefront of all areas. It truly is a wonderful place for an inclusive activity holiday. We have visited Bendrigg for so many years to give opportunity to our residents with complex health needs. To see them achieve things they wouldn't normally have the opportunity to. The smiles on their faces speak for themselves. I can't recommend it enough.

Really well organised, but very flexible to indivual needs (including dietary). Expert and friendly staff, so the whole group felt relaxed and confident. Plenty of opportunity to step out of activities and social if needed, but it was lovely to feel we were all 'in the same boat', having fun and achieving together (very nice group I was in, without feeling any pressure to socialise).

Awesome Activity Centre. I didn't even know it was here. I have driven past the lake many times but never knew over the hill was this little gem. I attended a canoe coaching course here yesterday. The site was clean, tidy, had friendly staff and loved what I found out about the place in what it does. Fantastic. Thank you for sharing your venue.
