Really good 4x4 experience. Instructor was a really friendly chap. Plenty of useful guidance, but not too controlling. A good mix of hills, slopes, mud, water, bumps etc. Also has men's and womens toilets and a selection of teas, coffees, cakes. I would recommend.

We had a fantstic time doing offroading and clay pigeon shooting with our instructors Ryan and Matthew, both really friendly. Would give 6 stars if I could.
The offroad track was long, varied, and challenging. The clay session was adapted to our shooting skill and despite the poor weather we were pretty successful thanks to Matthews excellent instructing.
Superb value for money, would recommend to anyone.

Had a great day here and would really recommend it.
Everyone was really friendly and knowledgeable about all of the activities, and had all of our group hitting targets with bows and crossbows, clay pigeons with shotguns, flying round fields and dirt tracks on quad bikes, and driving on an offroad track that I'm shocked a car can make it round!
The full day is a great deal with 5 activities, a steady supply of tea and coffee and includes a decent meal halfway through (ours was great and included a veggie option).
To top it off the whole site is surrounded by amazing views, which just adds to

Had a really good time on the quad bikes. Trails are good even for someone who has never ridden a quad before. Would do it again

Went quad biking with the family and loved it. The quads were good (250cc) and we were out for an hour for £50 each. The instructor talked us through the quads, we had a quick practise and then he led us on the trails which were well made and varied. I liked that you went around the practise track again at the end which let us see how far we’d progressed. Surprise treat at the end in the form of bottles of water and homemade biscuits (which were amaaazing). Would go back!

Had a fantastic morning here with the family, the quad biking was brilliant and so was the axe throwing! Matthew made everybody welcome and was a great instructor too... so good that we've booked again already and I would recommend them without hesitation, thanks for a great day out 👍🏻

Visited last weekend as part of my hen do. We had a great time clay shooting. George, who looked after us, was great. Gave clear, understandable instructions and was full of helpful tips. He even played along with the girls who were keeping the activity a surprise so I didn't know what we were doing until the very last minute. There is also ample tea and coffee facilities with incredible homemade cakes available at the main site.
