We were looking for a fun outdoor activity for a while. Archery was new to us. Our instructor Glenn was brilliant! Very safe environment, surrounded by trees and wanted squirrels :) I think we just became an experts in archery! Definitely will come back! Thank you!

We had an absolutely fantastic afternoon at Insight Activities, and a huge part of that was thanks to Glenn. His guidance and support throughout both axe throwing and archery made the experience not only great fun but also easy to pick up and enjoy. Glen struck the perfect balance of being professional, knowledgeable, and encouraging, while also keeping the atmosphere relaxed and full of laughs.

A few weeks ago a group of us went to Insight Activities and did the MedievalTrio for my daughter’s birthday. It was absolutely brilliant! Nick who taught us, so knowledgeable and fun, we all had a great time. Good value for money as well! Thank you!

We visited Insight Activities for a family session of Archery. 2 adults and 2 kids, 8 & 6yr olds. Nick was fab coaching us all, straightforward simple instruction with slight adjustments throughout the session to help hone what little skill we had! The kids absolutely loved it and now we’re researching local clubs to pick it up as a new hobby. Adults equally enjoyed the challenge and had a little friendly competition whilst the kids shot at a zombie. Something for all of us. Worth noting not to be put off by the rain, there’s a couple of sheltered areas. Thanks again for a fun filled afternoon Nick!

A really excellent day for the family or any sort of group really. Glenn was our course instructor - he was outstanding. Clearly a high degree of knowledge but importantly very approachable and made the day all the more fun. Highly recommend. Picture here of the kids and Glenn.

We had an excellent morning doing the Medieval Trio. Our instructor was great and made it so fun, and gave us really helpful tips to help our archery skills. The crossbow and axe throwing were great too. Would recommend to anyone- three people in their 30s and two in their 60s loved it!

Great day out for my team. It was fun and interactive and lovely setting in the forest. Nick was a great instructor and very good at what he does. Thanks again. The whole team thoroughly enjoyed it

Went wakeboarding and then on the aqua park afterwards. It was such good fun. We went on a Friday (free parking) at the end of September so it was pretty quiet. Ben was our one to one tutor on the wakeboarding which I'd never done before but managed to get up first time. Ben was an excellent instructor, very encouraging, friendly and full of positivity and tips on how to improve, I had a smile on my face the whole time. We then had an hour on the aqua park which was a great laugh, smiles all the way. Didn't have any food/drink so can't comment on that , but had a great time and would definitely go back again especially during quieter periods.

I love it here! Staff are all friendly and smiley. Also super useful with tips on the wake park. The wake is generally pretty empty so I can get a good session in. Pricing is very good. Food is decent. The inflatable park is amazing fun and the lifeguards do a good job.

A fantastic day out for the family! Our nephews have been to the water park for the last two summers when they’ve been to visit us in Brighton and absolutely love the day out. The first thing they said when they got off of the water park was “how much is it for an hour?” To see if they could use their pocket money to go again. Brilliant facilities and friendly staff. Would highly recommend a visit.

The facilities and activities are excellent. The lower rating reflects their policy of not allowing you to bring a picnic because they sell food. This is true and I have no issues with the vendors or their offer. What is unacceptable is trying to grab more money after paying for the activity and parking. Many families cannot afford £50 for lunch and drinks so bringing your own food makes sense. Other rival attractions do not have this policy. People were understandably ignoring this. Do they want families who cannot afford to eat out to go hungry?

Great place to go, plenty of seating for those not participating. Places to eat and even a bar. Sell swim shorts (my son forgot his 🙈) and T-shirts and bits. Lots of fun, but not for unfit as my husband found out! 😂

This is such a great day out. You have to get there and hour before your allotted time which seems a little excessive however, there is plenty of seating and also a cafe. You get an hour on the apparatus which is plenty of time. They also do other water sports there. Great for a birthday party or just a day out with children/friends

Great hour of climbing over inflatables. Efficient processing before the activity. Brilliant viewing platform. Great cup of tea and beer with excellent service. Highly recommend as an activity for kids and adults and spectators.

We took our 2 grand daughters for their first ride on a horse, the staff were amazing, nothing was too much trouble and the girls loved it. I would definitely recommend it to anyone especially if you have a nervous one!!

Me and my friend did the 1 hour walk/trot hack! Was a great experience, the staff were lovely! They really helped my friends enjoy her ride as she had never ridden before and she had a great time thanks to Jenny who was a great tutor, she guided her so well and it was a great experience! Izzy lead the group, she was only 18 and so experienced and professional, really really impressed with the whole thing! The horses are amazing! Really well looked after too and you can see they all care for them and really love working with them! I’d definitely go back there, such a stunning location to hack out! Thank you

My partner and I recently visited Arniss Equestrian and had an incredible time. The ride was full of long, exhilarating canters through beautiful countryside—an absolute dream for any confident rider. We were lucky to be taken out by Katrina, who was not only knowledgeable and professional but also great fun and made the whole experience even more enjoyable. A special mention also goes to Jan, who handled our booking with such warmth and care. She made us feel truly welcome and ensured everything ran smoothly from the start. Arniss Equestrian is a wonderful place for riders of all levels, but it’s especially brilliant for those with experience who are craving those fast canters. Just keep in mind that, like all responsible stables, they prioritise safety for both horse and rider, so you will need to be graded. If you're hoping for an advanced ride, I highly recommend giving the lovely Jan a call—she’ll guide you through the process and make sure you’re matched with the right experience. We can't wait to return. Highly recommended!

Had a lovely hour hack with my daughter, while on holiday at Green Hill Farm Holiday park, just 25 min away. A great way to explore the commons, from a different view while keeping your feet dry. We saw deer, ponies, rabbits and cows. Great horses which were matched to our ability, we both felt very safe. Our horses Rosie and Molly looked after us with great care. I even managed a cheeky canter on the brow of the hills and a bit of off-roading too. The booking process was great and avoided the delay of filing in the h&s forms on arrival. The loan of hat/boots was ideal, as meant we did not have to add those to the packing list. Will definitely be back next time we’re in the area.

We've visited twice whilst in the area, 1 hour hack and 2 hour hack. Our daughter (12) loved it, really enjoyed the hacks. Horses were well cared for and forward going, billy was a cheeky scamp. Staff were great, friendly and accommodating. My daughter has already asked to go again when we're back in the area. We're considering the lodge there also rent out

Daughter booked a one hour hack. Very friendly staff, lovely horses and beautiful area to ride. All abilities were catered for on the hack with those more confident in trotting and cantering able to go off with staff if they wanted. Lovely place.

I don't usually leave reviews but in this case I think it's worth taking a few minutes just to say what a lovely time my partner and I had yesterday. Couldn't ask for more attentive, knowledgeable and experienced guides. I had no horseriding experience but Claire was so patient with me. My partner hadn't ridden in a number of years and she had a lovely time too. Thank you both so much

This lovely house was well worth a visit. When you buy your ticket you are given a timed entry to join a tour. Our guide was excellent and full of useful and fun information. The position on the hillside, means that there are lovely views, and there are woodland walks around the estate. There is also an excellent cafe, Saxon church and museum. The house is also an Historic House, so free for members.

Had a great time at Breamore House. The house tour with excellent guide Kevin - such an interesting history - followed by delicious lunch in the cafe. Can highly recommend the smoked salmon and avocado on sourdough toast. There's also the museum and a great shop.

The cafe, farm shop and little artisan shops are wonderful. The cafe and leather / vinyl works shop especially. We didn’t go in the museum as it’s quite expensive for what it is. The ‘“lady” of the house has no business being as entitled and privileged as she is. If she doesn’t want people in certain spaces she can put up signs instead of expecting people to read her tiny mind. We made a small mistake with where we walked (nowhere near her house, but on what looked like public access grounds, after we were told we can walk the gardens by someone on the phone). She verbally abused my sister, my sister politely apologised and we left, yet she sped up to us in her car and verbally attacked us again with barking dogs in her car. We were with my niece, a 3 year old, who was immensely upset by the interaction, I’d say that will be a horrific core memory / trauma for her. What a violent person. I hope she gets the therapy she needs. Imagine owning such a beautiful piece of history, letting people tour it for an unreasonable price, then shouting at people for walking on what looks like public right of way. Clearly we aren’t the only people to have made this mistake as we were told so by some staff. Put up signs around the grounds saying private, or stop opening it up to the public. Can’t take money from people then shout at people for walking in places where there are no signs to say it’s private. Can’t have it both ways, aggressive human.

Historic Elizabethean Mansion. Well worth a visit. Book in advance for a guided tour (no self guided tours). The tour guide was great, picking out all the notable features with background stories. Made the visit so much more engaging. The tour took about an hour. 😎👍👍👍👍

Lovely House nice guided tour well worth money

Dogs not allowed in the garden. The house isn't dog friendly either which I understand and if you want to visit it you need a ticket but we couldn't see where to buy them. I think we must have missed the sign. However we had a nice day.

Great tour of the house but watch out for the owner’s dangerous dog, who is off lead who just attacked my dog who was on lead. She had no control and tried to tell me off for being there! She obviously has not heard of the Dangerous Dogs Act “Police have warned owners that dogs are their owners responsibility, and that owners will be held responsible for the actions of their pet”.

We had such a wonderful experience at this farm shop! From the moment we arrived it felt so welcoming – really family-friendly and even dog-friendly, which made it easy for all of us to relax and enjoy ourselves. The breakfast was absolutely top quality, beautifully cooked and full of flavour – one of the best we’ve had in a long time. What really stood out though was the staff. They were genuinely lovely and took the time to make our visit extra special, even letting my daughter stroke one of the guinea pigs, which made her day. It’s clear they truly care about their visitors. There’s so much more here than just a farm shop – it’s a whole experience, with great food, friendly faces, and lots to see and do. We’ll definitely be coming back and would highly recommend it to families, foodies, and anyone looking for a warm and enjoyable place to visit.

We loved it here. Chatting to the staff on the farm we realised their passion for rehoming animals, and for their farm as a whole. The cafe was cosy and welcoming. We had a full breakfast and cream tea respectively. Both were excellent, as was the coffee. We would definitely recommend a visit. (dog and child friendly)

This is a great place with farm animals, shop, cafe and aviary so a good place for families. The cafe food was good quality and very fresh and great cakes and cream teas. The Veggie breakfast is also very good. Shop had plenty of things to help stock up whether you are a local or on holiday. Also the farm animals are great to watch

Absolutely perfect cream tea here today! Cakes were fabulous and the cheese scone savoury tea was out of this world. Georgie was very accommodating and made sure our elderly friend had a sausage and egg bap even though it was very near time to stopping hot food. The farm shop and animals are also lovely. A perfect sunny afternoon. Thankyou so much Georgie and the team we will definitely be returning.

Our Daughter had visited the week before we went and recommended this place to eat as one of us were vegan and it was an easy access for myself being on two walking sticks. Absolutely delicious food, nothing was too much trouble. The food was piping hot and there was so much of it. The chef didn’t mind checking that the food was vegan and cooked it separately as well. I had granary toast and a bowl of baked beans. The menu was varied and catered for everyone. The cakes were homemade and looked scrumptious, not little slices either. The Ladies who served us were kind and respectful. There was a basket of extra cushions and blankets should you need them. The cafe was dog friendly and there were healthy dog snacks you could purchase. I would recommend this venue highly and would go back in the summer to have the opportunity to eat outside. In the complex there was also a small petting farm, some shops there was literally something for everyone there. We have family friends who live close by and they visit often with their grandchildren. It’s a delightful friendly place worth a visit.

Where can you go to have a fab breakfast, stock up on meats and wines oh yes and see some Alpacas and farmyard animals?. “Hockeys” Well worth a visit, sad that we found this place on our way home😔 but will definitely visit again🥰

Had an amazing afternoon tea last weekend. The staff were lovely and made us very welcome. The food was outstanding, the best afternoon tea we’ve ever had! Throughly recommend and will definitely return again.

I only really stopped off while passing the town, because of the Augustus John connection. They did him proud and the staff were so friendly and knowledgeable.

Absolutely amazing day out, went with the wife and kids, spent all day there. Recommended wearing suit. BEST WORKOUT IN FORDINGBRIDGE

Interesting small museum. Free entry and knowledgeable staff.

A little gem! Extremely interesting displays inside. The curators have so much knowledge too.

Very interesting museum with the history of Fordingbridge. Knowledgeable and friendly person in attendance

Friendly helpful staff, well laid out displays, interesting articles

Quaint little museum, definitely worth a look if you're in the area, interesting ww2 info.
