Facilities & Cleanliness

Pros:

• "The facilities, although a little dated, were extremely well maintained."

• "All facilities incredibly clean."

Cons:

• "The chemical toilet is in a cupboard, which makes it a bit of a chore with having to lean in to empty etc."
• "The shower floor is not cambered correctly, so water puddles beneath the drying area rather than draining fully."
• "The toilets have quite a lot of black mould above the shower area with big loose bits of cracking and peeling paint."
• "Water in the showers simply just doesn't drain. A bodge job of a rubber strip on the shower floor is hazardous to say the least and does nothing to solve the problem."
• "Showers could do with some work as you end up stood in a huge puddle when trying to get dried."
• "Shower,/toilet block, although clean, are very tired. Showers are cramped and do not drain so when finished showering you end standing in half an inch of water."
