Ian provided the most amazing weekend for my sister’s hen. Communication throughout was fantastic and meant we had a truly unforgettable and amazing weekend. The site is amazing with the most incredible views. Ian created a number of excellent activities, including axe throwing and archery which we all loved. Had a few first time campers, who were a bit anxious but absolutely loved the experience. The food all weekend was delicious and both Ian and Elle went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed.
The silent disco on the second night was so much fun and we all have so many incredible memories.

I came here for my stag do and had the most incredible time. I love camping and said i wanted a camping/wilderness experience for it. My brother arranged it and I didn't know wjat to expect but I was absolutely blown away! Ian (the host) was absolutely terrific and made sure we had the best time! Him cooking and making sure we were all okay made sure that we were all relaxed and focusing on the drinking and good times! The activities we did were unbelievable, I especially enjoyed the butchery of the deer and pigeons as it was hilarious watching 12 men get squimish. This is a weekend I will be talking about for the rest of my life and I cannot recommend enough.

We had an incredible weekend organized by Ian! His communication and organizational skills were outstanding, especially when handling last-minute changes. Ian's patience during the stag do event was commendable. We enjoyed a variety of activities, including clay pigeon shooting, axe throwing, air gun, escape room, archery, butchery, and a fantastic gathering around the fire. It was a refreshing alternative to the typical high street stag, and I highly recommend Ian for an unforgettable experience. Thank you, Ian, for making our June 2023 weekend so memorable! - Nial

Went for a stag do and it was absolutely brilliant. Ian is a superb activity leader and all round good lad. The facilities were perfect for our group of about 10 and the days were really excellently paced. There was no rushing or needling to get things done, just a great atmosphere with great people doing fun things. Would highly recommend!

I had my stag do here and it was nothing short of incredible. Ian was the best. He made sure we were well fed and safe (mostly from ourselves ?). Gave us plenty of activities to keep us busy for the whole weekend and also gave us the space to make the weekend our own too. Would highly recommend! Perfect space to catch up with friends and bond in a different way. 10/10

What a weekend. I organised a stag do for my brother and was not disappointed. Turned up and met Ian who was so friendly and directed us to our new home for the weekend. Bell tents set up before arrival with futons, blankets and sleeping bags in beautiful surroundings, toilets and even hot showers. We first settled down by the fire under a canopy while a huge BBQ was prepared for us by Ian and Duncan and with a few drinks and full bellies had a great night. Woke up the next day and a full English breakfast is being prepared for us before heading down to take part in clay pigeon shooting which was so much fun. We walked back up to the site to see a deer hanging up and was skillfully taught how to skin (my brother even ended up wearing the skin as a right of passage) and butcher which also included pheasnt, trout and pigeon before once again settling down while it was all cooked for us. Next we had a session doing shooting, archery, axe throwing, and fire lighting which turned into the embers challenge. We then had a great eating challenge but won't give the game away ( be prepared). After settling back by the fire we were treated to a huge venison stew with dumplings (the best thing I've ever eaten) and another night by the fire. Woke up and you guessed it, another full English before learning wood carving skills and primitive fire making. I honestly could go on and on about how brilliant the whole weekend was, how Ian and Duncan are so friendly and knowledgeable. Thank you for making the weekend one of the best experiences ever

Just returned from a stag do at Embers Bushcraft and all I can say is it was fantastic. Superb facilities from the bell tents to the hammocks and fantastic hosting from Ian and Sam. The knowledge and passion that they bring to the activities is second to none and we were incredibly well looked after all weekend. A massive thank you for everything you did for us and everything you took us through even if I couldn’t get those axes to stick….! Oh and Sorry for destroying patches of nettles searching for lost cricket balls - blame the stag!

Taken me a week to get round to writing a review for my stag do last weekend as have only just gotten over the awesomeness of it all.

Peaceful, private setting with everything we needed and more that we didn't think we did. Met by Ian who helped with all our bags and got straight to work making us feel extremely welcome.

Great tents with beds and and even pillows and sleeping bags provided. Roaring fire under canopy with hammocks that rock you to relaxation like a happy pirate after a good days plunder and grog.

Food....wow!! Not only bloody good but plenty of it. Full English breakfasts, BBQs and wild game. Had the great opportunity to prepare wild game including deer pigeon and pheasant.

For me it wasn't just the experience but the wealth of knowledge that Ian and Duncan brought to everything we did. Why eat meat without learning where it came from, the history of its origins and preparation. Shall we just do some archery.....no!.... we'll do some archery with a healthy dollop of the history of the bow and how they were made.

This theme was present in every thing we did from primitive fire lighting to woodcraft and knife work.

All in all I would fully recommend everyone to check these guys out. You'll not only fully enjoy yourself but you'll come away with an amazing appreciation and respect for the outdoors.
