Beautiful clean pool. Friendly staff, great lifeguards. £8 non members -bought online - I thought a little expensive BUT the pool is still heated still in mid Sept and the shower after was hot so that’s fine. Swam here Weds eve 7-8 slot Thurs 7-9 slot - Much busier as they have a get together after. The outdoor shower after - looking at the Castle in front of you.. just amazing. Clean toilets and a handy hairdryer. I’ve visited about 20 lidos around Uk ( thus far) this one was very enjoyable - Thank you

We went today for a New Year swim and it was lovely, a really special event. We were visiting friends who live locally and they booked it as a treat. The pool was heated just for the festive period. Happy New Year to all the staff who were brilliant xxx

We love swimming here and regularly visit from Horsham. Plenty of space to sun bathe, picnic and relax. Always clean and well run. Good but basic facilities. Stunning views of the castle. What's not to like?
