Really lovely day out. Clean, nit too crowded and reasonably priced. Would be better if they had changing and shower facilities

The water is very clean, and the people are pleasant and well-mannered. There are separate beach areas for children and adults, so everything is nicely balanced...

The worst mini golf you can think of. This mini golf needs a lot of love. No creativity, No fun, No smooth flows of “obstacles” build by amateurs below my DIY abilities. People are friendly. Parking is 15£🤯 mini golf 5£. If you think you go there just to play mini golf DON’T will be a huge disappointment.

Nice time with my family on a warm day, 3-4 snack snacks, large sand beach, and plenty of activities like paddle boats, mini golf, and huge obstacle course. Crew comes through during the day to pick up rubbish which was nice

We booked ahead by 4 days & caught a very hot day. There was plenty of natural shade off the beach area to stay cool in ! The water was cool but not cold & obviously busy as families splashed around. I counted 4 lifeguards !! Very vigilant and perhaps when it's very busy ball games in the water should be discouraged!! Everything was clean, the bins were emptied every hour & toilets looked like it was the beginning of the day...not the end! Well done cleaning teams! We loved our day & will bring our grandkids back soon.
