We purchased coupons labeling the experience as a ziplining tour, but it would more accurately be…read moredescribed as tree trekking. It wasn't what we were expecting, with very little ziplining (1 'big' zipline lasting about 20s, a smaller 5s one, and finally propelling down at the end of the tree trek). We were a group of four adults, with a man and his daughter joining us with our guide. The whole thing seems to be geared more to the 8-14 age group, as the kids/young teens were light and short enough to walk the tightropes etc as intended. For the rest of us, especially the three men in our group, the height of the wires and the way things were balanced made it very difficult for anyone over the height of 5'5 to comfortably navigate themselves through the trees. My boyfriend is 6'2, as was the father who joined us, and they had a lot of trouble with the wires hitting their heads and shoulders at the wrong angles. The one younger person in our group had a much easier time as the ropes and wires were never interfering with her trek. About halfway through our trek, a manager in a black ball camp came to the base of the zipline/tree trek areas and began to shout at the guides. It seemed everyone was doing something wrong in his opinion, even the guests were shouted at (one fellow for not doing a particular tightrope the "challenging" way, another for starting slowly on one of the tougher lines). He made everyone very nervous, and I don't think he realized how unprofessional his behaviour was. Nobody wants to see the guide in charge of ensuring your safety be continually (and loudly!) berated. All in all, I'd say this would be fine for kids or young teens, but as far as the website's claim about being good for groups or corporate training, I'd look somewhere else. Our group would like to go again, but we're going to see if we can find a place geared more specifically toward adults.

I had a great time here!…read more Eaglecrest accommodated the extra-large group of 14 climbers we had, even though the maximum group was somewhere closer to 10. I was under the impression it was going to be 3 hours of zip-lining, but it wasn't, it was mostly a high-ropes course. It was a bit disappointing at the time, but was still fun though! The high ropes course had three levels of difficulty, and you got back on the ground between each difficulty, giving anybody who wanted it, the chance to stay on the ground. The staff there were pretty knowledgeable and helpful throughout. One young man in particular, Tyler, was very helpful and encouraging to the slower, more afraid members of our group. He knew exactly who to joke with and who needed words of encouragement and was very charismatic in general. We all completed the entire course, and it was a very rewarding experience. A bit of a team-building exercise, as you could yell back and forth to the trees in front or behind you to encourage people in your group. It was some physical activity, but not too strenuous. I did have some difficulty doing the games 'properly' as I am a little shorter than most, and was pretty close to the minimum height. Some of the games I couldn't reach the top ropes on, and some I couldn't reach the second foot rope on, so I had to do it all 'cheating' with both feet on one rope. I still had lots of fun though. We were also allowed to bring cameras with us which was really cool. Tyler warned me about having my camera on and dangling at my hip, because the lens would scrape and get damaged but I chose to ignore his advice. My camera was fine in the end, and I got lots of great shots of everybody [and more importantly didn't hold up the group]. I would recommend having someone on the ground to take pictures as well. All in all, a fun experience, a great way to get up and get moving a little bit, as well as enjoy the fresh air outside. Would definitely return [but not too soon as the courses would be exactly the same. Would go back next year though!]

Every morning started with a mouthwatering full breakfast, a yogurt to whet the appetite, followed by something savoury and then something sweet. One day, a cheese omelette and sausages then french toast; asparagus scramble and blueberry pancakes the next. They are surrounded by several km of trails that they built and named after their dogs, and provided us with snowshoes to trek around in the cold Highland winter. While we didn't have time to make use of the hot tub in the solarium upstairs, we could definitely see the appeal. There is a lot of neat history behind the place, and Don was happy to share their stories about the building and their vintage/antique furniture. I booked us the dinner package from their website, and after a long day of winter hiking and sledding, we were treated to a warm and lovely dinner by the fireplace. Jessie served us Cornish hen with maple glazed carrots, roast vegetables and peas, with a side of creamed cauliflower, served family style. Highly recommended visit if you are planning to visit the nearby campgrounds or trails, or just want a nice secluded getaway. I would like to come back in the spring or fall for some foraging and hiking.

I don't know how I'm going to be concise about what an amazing business this is. It is probably the…read morebest run business I've ever encountered. Ecclestone Cycle has been caring for our old (30+ years) bikes for several years without ever suggesting that we should really get new bikes - which is basically what I was told by other local bike shops when I was initially repairing the old bikes. Ecclestone got us new parts and installed them at very reasonable prices and then continued to make repairs and tweaks at extremely good service prices for the last several years. Recently we decided we would really enjoy new bikes and we didn't consider going anywhere else. The service and great attitude we have received there was enough to sell us that there is no better place to get bikes, parts and service. And this week we became the owners of new Kona bikes - the owners and staff spent literally hours helping us learn about bikes, helping us choose bikes and then teaching us how to work the gears and new things about riding etc. It isn't possible to have a more positive experience than we've had. The owners and staff, including the students who work there, are genuine, warm, friendly, helpful and never pushy. Exceptional!!!!
