Had a fantastic time. There’s a range of obstacles to throw yourself at (and off), health and safety was clearly and concisely explained and there were a range of (still wet from the previous session) wetsuits and buoyancy aids to fit all sizes. My only complaints are that I wish there had been a 10-15min warning as the session came to an end to give people a chance to have a final go at their favourite obstacles. The changing rooms also need some work. The changing rooms are essentially a wooden shack with several curtained off cubicles featuring a signal set of hooks with no shelf/bench and no way to secure the curtains. There’s not enough for everyone from one session to get changed at one time and the curtains are very easily blown open by a light breeze or knocked open by children messing around. And being made of a thin fabric the silhouettes of your neighbours are very visible. This would be less of a problem if the space was divided into a men’s and women’s area but it isn’t… I was also mildly concerned at one point that a young girl was hunched up shivering with the cold and the lifeguard was completely oblivious. In fairness she was hidden within an obstacle however I would hope a lifeguard would be a little more proactive in keeping count of everyone with such a chaotic activity.

Good points: Great location Stunning scenery Great obstacles and huge fun! Friendly staff and well run Bad points Very poor roadway into site, if you have a sporty/low car you may scrape or potentially damage your vehicle. Changing facilities are just a thin curtain cubicle in a partly open shed. Would have given 5 stars if not for the roadway and changing area! Hopefully the owners can improve these soon!

Great time here, don’t be put off by the 1 hour, unless you are an endurance athlete, you’ll be ready for a long sit down after an hour! Really friendly staff and welcoming. Space for non paying friends & family to spectate etc.

Friendly and supportive staff, lovely location and aqua park felt sturdy and safe. We had a lot of fun in a group of 3 - one adult and two 12 year olds. We were permitted to take our GoPro on the aquapark as were the only group on there - staff very kindly lent us their camera battery which was service above and beyond imo. Sauna looked great - perfect for after a swim. Visited in May and water temperature totally fine for 3/2 westuits and I imagine shorties would be just be about ok. Apparently it warms up nicely over summer months. There's a coffee machine and nice indoor and outdoor tables for picnic/birthday events. Could do with a little cafe ideally! Relatively small site and I imagine it gets a bit crammed when reaching the capacity of 40 people. Recommend going May/June for a calmer experience!
