Glentress Forest - Peebles Reviews

This was the best Go Ape experience EVER! We came to Glentress Forest and stayed at one of the Forest Holiday cabins for my moms 60th. We decided to try Go Ape for the first time and the entire experience was super lovely

Visited GoApe with my partner and 3 kids (only my partner, 15 year old and 10 year old participated!) for the Treetop Challenge. It was the most amazing day. The staff are exceptional - friendly, attentive, polite and extremely knowledgable. The venue is perfect and the treetop challenge is ran very well and instructors on hand to help throughout. Special mention to Chris - Chris was first class. He was great with the kids, patient, warm, friendly and very professional. A real asset to GoApe.

Fantastic experience start to finish. Very welcoming and knowledgeable staff (big shout out to Luca!) who give clear and simple instructions before getting on our way and they are around if you ever need them. Would love an extra Tarzan swing on the course but the zip line experiences are amazing.
