“For me it has been a good experience. Francis in reception is more than helpful. Physiotherapist Andrew is really good at his job. He advised me and explained everything well at each appointment. I would recommend this practice without hesitation.”

“I'm a 67 year old man who's led an active life playing a variety of sports including training in karate at a basic level. About 6 weeks ago I read an article in which it was said that aikido is a very beneficial martial art for any age and that its techniques place less demands on the body than other forms. In other words a good place for older people who want to take up a martial art. I discovered that my nearest dojo was with Martin Acton Sensei in Dromore, County Down. I got in touch with him to arrange a 1:1 lesson and turned up to the dojo feeling nervous and self conscious. However I found Martin very welcoming and friendly. And over the weeks I have come to value his understanding, patience, knowledge and encouragement as he takes me through the main qualities he's trying to foster and the gentle techniques he's teaching. Unlike my previous experience of martial arts aikido emphasises developing qualities we all need to become better human beings, more loving, more compassionate, more grounded.”

“At first daunted by the exercises and machine , but really felt i had worked the whole body.all the tutors have different approaches but equally good. I will keep attending. Oh and I am 70 with arthritis and osteopenia!!”

“Our little girl Nina absolutely loves going to her drama class with shell. We couldn’t believe how confident she was on stage at their Christmas show after just a few weeks of going!

He provided an exercise plan thereafter and I had just a few more needed sessions. I would highly recommend.”

“Absolutely amazing accommodation! Can't wait to go back”

“An exceptional and amazing forest to visit. Native Ancient Irish woodland and with only 2% coverage in Ireland a real gem. Some of the trees are truly majestic. Bought by the Woodland Trust in 2021 it is due to open to the public summer 2022. A truly amazing place.”

“A lovely campsite and caravan park with ehu. Kids loved the playground and they loved the massive slide zip wire and loads of space just to run around. Good toilet facilities which are close by. Alan is a great host and always made us feel very welcome”

“We had fab weather for it. Took us a good 20 minutes of wondering around to get to the middle. We were told there was a bell in the middle to ring but it doesn't seem to be there anymore. It was €5 to park in the car park and then we could walk around the grounds as we pleased. The lake was gorgeous also”
