NPF Bassetts Pole Adventure Park Reviews Summary

Staff and Instructors

Pros:

• "Jay was fantastic, he made the experience really fun and competitive."
• "Had an awesome time at archery and axe throwing with Jay and Jake today who made the experience twice as good!"
• "Our marshal Aki really knew him stuff and was fair, laid back and informative, whilst still keeping us all safe."
• "Our marshalls Pat and Amar were excellent."
• "The staff were very friendly, helpful and made sure we were aware of the safety regulations."
• "Big shout out to Kerry for helping me organize things and Dillon for being one of the best marshals I've ever had."
• "Everyone loved the day we had so much fun, the staff were amazing especially Dale who went above and beyond."

Cons:

• "Unfortunately ran by kids who don't know enough or want to help properly. Won't be going back as it was far to go more expensive than other places too."
• "Unfortunately we weren't met when arrived and then when our session the young lad wasn't overly professional."
• "Great fun and reasonable prices however a marshal named french kept making racial jokes."
• "The staff who should monitor the game (Marshall) not always was polite and useful."
• "The Marshall we had was being overly strict and constantly hurrying us up even though we were not being slow."
• "Marshalls do not implement safety rules - they may have just had a bad day but ignoring safety rules is not on!"
• "Overall somewhere with ignorant staff and little care for your safety."

Activities and Facilities

Pros:

• "We started with the Peaky Blinders pistol experience where we dressed up and had so much fun shooting targets."
• "Definitely the go to place for a Stag."
• "The whole place is very cool and we will definitely be coming back to try more activities."
• "Really enjoyed my nephew's stag do, helpful staff and clear health and safety measures."
• "Staff are really helpful, went out of their way to ensure the 3 children with us had a great time on the laser tag."
• "Excellent people, excellent site, excellent equipment."
• "The quad biking is ideal for kids up to the age of about 12."

Cons:

• "You criss-cross over the same tracks repeatedly and see the same main features of the forest 5+ times throughout 45 minutes of slowly meandering round the dirt track."
• "4 time at airsoft and probably the last. The cheating at this place is horrendous."
• "The Peaky blinders section isn’t all they make out either as it’s just a small target range with a bar if you could call it that."
• "Also the protections are for the upper body only."
• "Parked outside in a HGV 20.00 hrs Friday night, gates are closed. Two guys turn up to access the property and start shouting and swearing at me."
• "The paintballs were very, very, very expensive; on a level that will force me to never ever return."
• "The quad biking we were told 'don’t expect to be ragging them about as you will be going around 10mph max'."

• "You might enjoy it, but I am not sure I did."
• "Except for the fact that the instructor was extremely disrespectful and racist since the beginning of the session."
