I arrived unbooked at 12.30 today. This was based on the site posting on local FB encouraging people to come and support the pool, no booking needed. It is only open 2-5pm during school holidays (why?) but 8hrs otherwise. I waited 1.5hrs and when the attendant opened, she said it was booked up, by regular session ticket holders. Except most didn’t bother to show up. Myself and at least 6-10 more people were turned away even though only about 20 people had gone through, and some of them were observers. I asked if I could now take a spot, still no, not allowed, not even for 30mins. This was my first chance to support a local pool😕 The committee that manage the pool are turning away money. Why not put a clause in saying to folks with pre-booked slots that, if they are not there within 15mins of their time, the pool reserves the right to allow any people waiting for a swim unbooked to take that slot. Myself and many other disappointed people were dumbfounded at the treatment today, the site saying booking not necessary, and the rationale behind the prebooked rules. I will not be going again. 😡

Went yesterday. What a magical place. Only myself and my grandson there. Felt like our own private pool. Staff amazing, helpful, friendly. I wish I lived closer, we would be regulars. Definitely a wonderful ending to our holiday. It’s run by volunteers who do a great job. Thankyou

A very cheerful and welcoming pool in a picturesque village. The staff/volunteers in the kiosk/tuck shop were very friendly. There are male/female changing rooms with a warm showers and toilets. No lockers, but there is a sheltered area by the pool where you can leave your belongings. We went on a weekday during term time and opening hours were limited 3.30 to 6pm for a general session. It was £6 per person and we booked online via the website (I can imagine during sunny days the pool gets very busy with the campsite next door). There is limited free parking at the pool entrance. The main pool is 17m long and was around 25° when we visited. There is also a learner pool with traditional fountain ⛲ - fab! Pool is clean, well maintained, and the life guard was watching the chaos of kids and floats as we swam. Definitely one for family fun 😊

Very nice outdoor swimming pool everything that is needed such as toilets and changing rooms are located on site and are well maintained. The pool uses the space well and is heated. For those not swimming, you can sit on the side and watch by the cafe, which serves brilliant hot drinks. The volunteers that run the place are all very welcoming and friendly. Keep up the good work 👍
