I've been going since July 2021, and I have played well over 50+ games.
The staff have been great ever since I started, and have helped me when making purchases for certain RIF brands. They are all kind, friendly people who are extremely competent (and certainly not unfair) players.
I had doubts about playing there at first, as I have nerve damage, but Taffy and the gang have been incredibly understanding and accommodating by offering breaks and a lift back to the safe zone via jeep.
This next part is rather long as it explains the playable areas at the first site:
The Village, usually the 'warm-up site' for the mornings, is located downhill from the safe zone. Attackers must expect some CQB if they breach the Village, but there are a few vantage points for marksmen to hang back to offer support. The same applies for the Defenders, which keeps the game relatively balanced for both teams.
The Village is being altered and improved every so often, with additional extensions to the buildings to further balance the game.
Nearby is the Hill (or the Mound), which is situated in a more open area. This encourages slightly more co-ordinated team management as defenders of the Hill need to cover almost 360°s of the area. There are barriers, trees, small buildings, and a miniature trench that give the defenders some cover.
The attackers 'spawn' at the Slaughterhouse and can push towards the Hill from almost any possible angle, save for a small 'out-of-bounds' area near the back. A treeline provides the attackers some good cover so they can attempt to flank, and some players may also choose to pass through the Village to get around from the opposite side.
While I would argue the Hill is easier as an attacker, do not underestimate the players, they can get crafty with their hiding spots and defensive strategies :)
The Slaughterhouse is a rectangular metal building, with windows that act as gun ports for the defenders to open to shoot through, and shut for extra cover. The attackers start from the Village. The defenders don't have much cover at all, but while that encourages players to enter the Slaughterhouse, a lot of attention is focused on clearing that building. Attackers do not have a huge amount of cover, either, so this particular part of the first site is usually over faster than the Village or the Hill.
To stop myself from going on and on, I will leave out any information about the second part of the site, and the quarry, as well as the Mil-Sim game mode.
TL;DR: Great staff, great players. Balanced maps and game modes.

Great site, good members of staff, good on the safety rules, good rentals any problems with them you get a new one.
Great group of people go here always friendly, never really had any problems going here to be honest, people take there hits which some sites there's normally loads who don't.
Staff are friendly and always happy to help.
Size of the site is huge, no way you won't be knackered after going here.
Would highly recommend going to The Ex site.

I’ve hired out The Ex Site twice for my sons birthday and he and his friends LOVED every second of it. We’ve been there several times with parties too and it’s always been great. My son always comes and tells me that the other (I think members) that play along side them, help them out, teach them things and tell them stories. The staff have always been very helpful and friendly. I’ve never had an issue at all. Thanks for making my sons parties great!

Played here a couple of times as unexperienced players. Great site.. Both the staff and the Regular players are very helpful.
Everything is well explained and all the hire gear supplied is great.
Had a great day each time.. very welcoming, friendly, good banter and lots of fun.

Brilliant site, good solid outdoor areas for engagements. Taff runs a good site, you’ll benefit the most if you go regular, so you get to learn the whole site properly. Perfect in summer, great views and great opportunity to start air-soft, like I did. Wish I could go more but adult life has taken over sadly.

As a first time airsofter this venue is amazing. I have been a few times and it has always been great fun. The area is massive with woodland, buildings, a quarry and even a range to practice. The owners are supper friendly and helpful and the kit is really good and is great value for money. The regular players are really supportive and the games are well organised and played fairly. Would highly recommend.

Ive been playing airsoft on and off for about 17+ years and played at a number of different sites in the UK, I can honestly say that Taff, Lewis and the other people that help run the site are the nicest bunch I have met! Its why I keep coming back.
The site can offer a number of scenarios such as woodland or close quarter which is great too. Always have a great day out, cheers guys.
