I booked air rifle shooting and archery for 3 people for 1.5 hours costing 3 x GBP35.00 = GBP105.00. The shooting range is a grass area of around 25 metres in length with a number of targets varying in distance and size. Shooting is from a covered area with tables and seating. We were accompanied by a friendly young instructor... More

Sorry I'm a bit late in getting this reply done. I 'm also sorry that this particular party did not feel we gave goo d value for money. It appreciate that they liked our venue, and that they acknowledged the quality of the instructor. The reason we do not allow any more that two people to shoot at a time... More

We booked a 2 hour session 1 hour for archery and the second hour for Quad bikes. I must admit while archery was fun they only had one target so we had to take it in turns to fire, which i felt was time wasting. Quad Biking was awesome, we all had a good time and the trainers were up... More

It's really disappointing to see this review, as it's pretty good until you get to the locked in part ! This did happen, obviously by mistake, and it did take a couple of hours to track me down. The moment I was informed, I rushed to unlock the gate, and found that the gentlemen involved had driven their car into... More

We signed up for half day activities. Starting with digger moves, digging a hole and filling it up again and spinning round, we moved onto axe throwing (too hard!). Had a go at clay pigeon shooting (became easier once I kept my eye open when pulling the trigger!) and finished with air rifle shooting, which was easy!! Fun day out... More

Dropped by while visiting good friends in the area. We were on vacation near by for the new year. Our crew of 2 dads and one each 8, 11, and 13 year-old boys got their fill go carting, shooting, and quad biking. Staff was super and showed great humor in the chill as the flurries came down. Boys and dads... More

3 of us went quad biking and it was excellent, we started off just going around the field and we all thought this was as adventourous as it was going to get but then we went off into the forest and around their 4x4 driving track, it was pretty hard going, huge boulders, long muddy tracks for sliding and massive...

As a group of friends we were looking for a selection of activities for an afternoon, and these were catered for in the form of Karting, 4X4, quads and clay pigeon shooting.... All commented on the good choice of venue and would go again.. And the Aberdeen Angus Burgers will become legendary! More

I booked an hour Quad Biking at Deeside for my husband and 4 friends, we all had a great time with excellent tuition before we ventured out. Advise you to take Boots and Waterproofs and ideally your own helmet if you have one - they are supplied though so not a priority. Not really able to take a large camera... More

Stopped off for a quick lunch....simple menu and your typical country cafe style but it was very tasty. Lots of activities on offer so a day here would be well worth it. Small cafe, restaurant, brewery and cheese making onsite.....it's a good local business. Intend to come back and try the Sunday lunch, word on the street is it's great. More
