We weren't staying with Karen and Sean but they were very helpful in helping me find alternative accommodation and sorting out an archery session for four of us. We all loved it.

Sean is a really good teacher, friendly and informal and it was a pleasure to be taught by someone with such expertise and obvious enthusiasm...

Sean is an excellent teacher, very informative with the history and techniques of the long bow and also has a great ability to keep it relaxed and fun. We would highly recommend everyone tries...

My husband and I booked in for a private lesson with Sean towards the end of our holiday as a last minute add-on. I am so glad we did - it was the best fun and Sean is an excellent teacher and just a thoroughly nice bloke. As well as giving us well over the allotted hour of target archery,...

We were meant to have an hour long lesson which lasted almost 1.5 hours. We had such fun, and wecwill most certainly be booking again...
