Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Had a great time rock climbing with Hatt Adventures. Great instructors made sure we all got the best out of our experience. Special mention to Kyle who was a very enthusiastic guide and made sure everyone pushed themselves!

Hatt Adventures were brilliant! We were running a charity abseil event and Tom and Andy were so calm on the day and knew exactly what they were doing to help get our supporters abseiling down the cliffs. Some of our supporters were very nervous and the Hatt guys made them feel at ease.
The event ran smoothly and we are delighted to have raised over £6,500 for our charity! Emma was also extremely helpful on the lead up to the abseil and helped us advertise our event on social media.
A very positive experience- would highly recommend. Our supporters were keen to do future events for us and had nothing but good feedback for Hatt Adventures too!

I am doing a charity abseil this month so last month thought I'd practise and booked into an abseil at Blacklands with Sam. From beginning to end he was supportive, encouraging and patient with all of our nerves, the others on the course were all fantastic and friendly, Sam created a real sense of camaraderie and I had an unforgettable day. Now I feel less terrified and am looking forward to abseiling down some cliffs in a few weeks time! Thank you Sam!

I attended the two-day Level 3 ITC Outdoor First Aid course at Blackland Farm delivered by Hatt as required my our new roles. It was EXCELLENT. A good mix of theory and practical learning, we were straight into it after a quick briefing. The cohort was just small (just 5 of us plus Dai, our teacher) which really helped the learning experience as it meant that we could work together closely and our instructor could spend a lot of time with each of us to support our understanding. The scenario learning with constructed participatory first aid situations was a brilliant way to put all of our learning into practice. Dai, our instructor was super enthusiastic and clearly very experienced, as well as an excellent listener and supportive in his feedback. The company I work for hadn't used Hatt before, but I will be recommending to my managers that staff are sent to them for future outdoor courses. I thoroughly enjoyed it and can't wait to receive my qualification certificate!

Had a fab experience on Sunday 28th at the Spinnaker abseil with Anya and the team. Really well organised and I felt safe the whole time, views were stunning too.
Unforgettable experience and would do it again.

Absolutely! The lake is very gently sloped if you wanted to just paddle and you can choose whether to go in at all!
