My girlfriend and I visited the North Devon Shooting Ground, as part of a birthday activity day. Neither of us having tried clay pigeon shooting before and it was on our list to try. We were both nervous, but so looked after by one of the staff members. He took us out and gave us one to one tuition. He was brilliant, very patient and encouraging. We were thrilled to hit lots of clays and can't wait to try it again soon. Would highly recommend.

We just stayed for a week in July 2020 in Basset apartment and had a great time. We had access to the swimming pool by ourselves for an hour or two each day which was lovely, probably nicer than normal as had pool to ourselves. Theme park currently closed to general publuic due to covid but we had access to mini golf and crazy snooker which the boys played and had good fun as well as walking round gardens. Spacious apartments, very clean, TV, kitchen with cooker and fridge, dining table, sofas, bunk bed room and double bed room. Bathroom with bath and shower and good size. We booked last minute having had to cancel our holiday to Thailand / Borneo due to covid. Had a lovely week there - as well as swimming, crazy golf and snooker we went on a boat trip to Lundy where we swam with seals then walked round the island (Wild Frontier), a coastal boat trip with a beautiful sunset (Ilfracombe SeaSafari) and went gorging (Adventure Okehampton). Had lovely fish and chips in Ilfracombe and a couple of terrible Chinese meals from Coombe Martin and a meal at the restaurant by Watermouth Lodges where had fresh fish which was excellent. Coombe Martin is also very pretty.
