Excellent pool, good service, However, I ask the administration to pay attention to the fact that the new toys in the form of flat smileys and ladybugs look great, but my children developed irritation on their chests after using them.

Hidden gem... heard about this place, but always thought the 100 mile round trip excessive for a swim... not any more... kids loved it.. main pool is easy the warmest outdoor pool I have swam in (and that's a fair few), two toddler pools seemed even warmer which the kids loved... flue runs on the half hour and is long enough to get a shout out of the older kids..... the on site cafe is great, food is well priced and there is coffee and cakes for parents. The General Swim sessions go on all day so once you're in, you're in..... the play park at the rear of the is also a welcome distraction and a good space for picnics.... .What3Words: dolls.purest.decency (its a bit tricky to find)

Lovely outdoor 25m main pool + learner pool, paddling pool and flume. We went for the adult lane swim session and the pool was heated to around 24°. We booked in advance via the website (but I think we might have been the only ones that did). Session not too busy - around 12 people in the pool, so plenty of room. Ample changing rooms - communal changing with cubicles plus separate male/female changing rooms. Warm showers and clean toilets. Well maintained lockers (£1 refundable). Attentive lifeguards and a good cup of coffee from the cafe. Free parking on site.
