• "The only toilet cubicles were very small I think there were only 3 in the ladies."

• "Sadly i loved this place once, now locked toilets for a refurb in the spring? Need some new management there, thats what off season is for. Beautiful play equipment fenced off i guess to lasy to repair."
• "The play area could do with a bit of work, but that's to be expected with an outdoor play area."

• "We ended up at the cafe which was ok for a quick visit, although nothing special."
