This was a great experience for our boys during the October Break. Andrew was a fantastic instructor, so skilled and knowledgable with plenty patience and humour! Was an excellent introduction to clay pigeon shooting on 4 stands. Highly recommend.

Visited the red deer range after recently taking up photography. I googled where to photograph wildlife in my area and this popped up. I had a fantastic time. At first there didn't seem to be any deer around so I went for a short walk along the path and was thinking oh well I don't think this is my day. Back in the hide I thought one last look then I will go and nearly jumped out of my skin when I opened the window and the big stag grunted with his nose right at the window. They blend in so well with their surroundings but clearly love to come down to the feeding area in the hope of picking up a few carrots. Three of them hung around for a long time allowing plenty of photo opportunities. Would be a great place also to take kids. Don't forget your carrots !

What a lovely place for all the family and even those that didn’t take any!! Well thought out layout, with excellent quality furniture and fixtures. Everything is at hand and the families we saw were all enjoying themselves. We just went for lunch and thoroughly enjoyed, soup of the day, Brie and Bacon panini. Good value it has to be said!! Great place to go!
