  • "Tried to book and there doesn't appear to be any availability for weeks, even on a week day."
  • "Warning don't go when you think it might be quiet because you'll get there and find that the heating is off so the water is so cold that your child will end up shivering after 15 minutes and by 40 or 50 minutes minutes you're back in the changing rooms trying to warm them up."
  • "The things that let it down are the poorly laid out café and slow service."
  • "Can get very busy in the pool, changing areas for the pool could be better."
  • "Another waisted trip due to cold water temperatures. Half the pool was also shut. Not the most welcoming staff put on the payroll. And while I'm having a moan up the changing cubicles are way short of demand!"
  • "Sessions are now only pre-booked for lagoon pool and you are allowed 1 hour!"
