“Crogen Estate was perfect for our recent leadership team away-day. We needed a space that could facilitate our corporate and strategic planning sessions, but also somewhere we could genuinely relax and do some fun team-building, both indoors and out in the amazing grounds. Crogen absolutely delivered on both fronts.
We’ve all been on those ‘away-days’ where you leave the office, but your brain stays stuck at your desk. What made Crogen different was its tranquility and the complete absence of any corporate feel. It allowed everyone to truly switch off, shed their usual work stresses, and really be themselves. That’s why it was such a worthwhile day – everyone felt comfortable enough to ‘bring their authentic selves’ to the discussions.
Crogen genuinely stands out from any other venue we’ve used. It is not a hotel, so there are none of those generic conference rooms, machine coffee, and predictable sandwich lunches. Crogen has so much character and charm, and Sarah Robertson’s warmth and the fact that she’s welcoming you into her family home (not to mention her fantastic homemade lunch and refreshments!) instantly make you feel at ease.
From the moment we first got in touch, Sarah could not have been more helpful. She instantly understood our brief, was prompt and reliable with all her communication, and basically made the whole thing run without a hitch. She worked closely with me and our facilitators to fine-tune the schedule beforehand, and responded instantly to any changes we made during the day.
We left feeling refreshed and invigorated, and determined to return. Crogen isn’t just a venue; it felt like a home away from home that helped us connect and think better as a team.”

“….I am just writing to express my deep appreciation for the splendid day’s sport you laid on for us last Friday. It really was a spectacular day’s shooting, every drive was excellent.

Please pass on the deep appreciation of myself and the other guns to Shaun Duffy for managing the drives with such consummate skill. You gave us a memorable day. Thank you!…..”  General S from London

“….having had such a successful trip last year, there is always the fear that the follow-up would not live up to expectations. I needn’t have worried…I have been lucky enough to shoot in many varied places over the years, but I can honestly say that Saturday was up there with the best I have ever witnessed. The quality of the birds and the way in which they were presented really was first class and testament to all of the hard work that has gone into the estate since it returned to the family. Crogen is such a magical place – great hosts, delicious food, exceptional shooting and wonderful views…..” Mr H from Hampshire – stayed 3 nights with walked up day followed by driven shooting.

….you worked so hard to look after us all so beautifully and to feed and water us non-stop and with an abundance of everything delicious…..how could one not have a fabulous time in the most stunning countryside with such glorious views. We all loved your picker uppers who were so kind and fun, the whole experience was fantastic and I can’t wait to return next year with our team.” Mrs L from Suffolk – stayed two nights with 2 days driven shooting.

“Thank you for making Saturday such a special day. The shoot arrangements were superb…… and everyone had plenty of shooting on each drive regardless of their position, which is a great art rarely achieved!…..” Mr R from Dolgellau

“…..I would like to thank you both very much indeed for making our stay with you at Crogen such a huge success. We all had a splendid dinner and your hospitality could not have been bettered…..” Mr H from Cheshire

“….what a wonderful weekend we had – such fun and wonderful shooting on glorious scenery. A very big thank you for making us feel so at home – we felt like old family friends as opposed to paying guests. I have a feeling we will definitely see you again, i certainly hope so…..” Mr K from Oxfordshire  2- night stay with walked up day followed by driven day

“….I can’t tell you how much we enjoyed our time at Crogen. It far exceeded my expectations and it was just what I think the team needed after a couple of years shooting leg-down partridge elsewhere. Crogen is a very special estate, incredibly scenic and with the most fantastic sporting ground, but what made the weekend was Henry and your enthusiasm, charm and devotion to ensuring we all had a incredible time. Staying in the coach house was fantastic – such a great building and very comfortable.  You have a fantastic team, everybody from Pat, to the keeper, beaters and Stephanie – all made our time so special….”    Mr K from Ireland – stayed 3 nights in Coach House – driven day followed by walked up day’s shoot.

“….I was thrilled to be able shuffle my diary in order to get up to Crogen….Each bird I shot with a victory. We all went to lunch having had a thoroughly great morning.  it was very special to have the entire Robertson family out beating picking up and Sarah practising her impressive Welsh…..227 in the bag, we all headed off in different directions having had a thoroughly excellent day shooting, some serious sport to test us, great hospitality by Henry and Sarah with a very entertaining team of guns. What a happy day….”  Mr F from Staffordshire
