Have done Land Rover experiences at 3 of their centres before visiting the West Country Experience near Honiton. Previous ones have been good but I have to say West Country Experience edges the others. Our instructor Will was excellent. His knowledge of the Range Rover systems was second to none and I learnt so much about what my car can do with it's driver assistance programmes before we even left the car park. The off road driving was exceptionally good, especially as there had been a lot of rain over a period of days making it interesting but also showed off the car's capabilities to the best. Fantastic day and thanks again Will, you were brilliant!
We had a great afternoon at the Land Rover Experience West Country. The staff were welcoming and the meal before we started was very good. Our instructor Will was very knowledgeable and made the whole experience really great. Thanks for a really good time.
Brilliant experience would love to do it again, we didn't know what to expect but when we arrived Harry asked us what we wanted to get out of the experience. We chose which car we wanted to drive in. Of course we went for the defender so we could get the full experience in the woods. 5* can't recommend enough
Absolutely 100 out of 10; these guys are brilliant! From the moment Bob greeted us by name at the entrance, through to the way Shaine and Harry bought into our mini tournament. Then Will arrived and took our young driver off for his go, before the the three of them communicated and gave us a final challenge. We finished in the room, coffees provided. We got our points. The. bob emerged with a small trophy (water bottle) for our winner. I cannot recommend this enough hands down the best experience.
What an experience! I would never have attempted some of the climbs, descents and obstacles before but now I really appreciate and understand how incredible these vehicles are. Thanks to our instructor/host Clive for the excellent tuition with some good laughs
