Very friendly staff. Parking outside. There is a skate park around the back also. There is a big pool and small pool. We only used the big pool. Recently renovated so lovely and clean and new in the changing rooms. The staff were so nice and friendly here and helped us where to go with it being our first visit. · via Google [Theo Foster](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/117306613506286242857/reviews) ★★★★★ I went to go for a fun session, and the lady and the front desk told me that with a thrive card I could get into all the fun sessions for free with it. However the next time I came (5 days later) she said I had to pay £3.50 just to get in, then when I showed her my thrive card she said “no, pay with money only for fun sessions”. So then I agreed to pay the money this time because I thought that I had to pay for the big inflatable obstacle course. But then when I came back on the Sunday for the fun sessions without the inflatable obstacle course this time they said I still had to pay, when the lady who was at the front desk the previous day I was there when I had to pay said that Sunday fun sessions was the only time I could use my thrive card to get in. However, I tried using my thrive card on the Sunday and they still said that it was £3.50 to get in. Keep in mind that it’s the same price with and without the inflatable obstacle course! So, the lady was false advertising! I don’t recommend going to the fun sessions if you’re expecting not to pay!! For anyone wondering what the lady who was false advertising looked like, She is about 5’5 feet tall, skinny like a pepperoni and black curly hair! She also looks about 60-65 years old!! So, I’ll say it one more time, I DONT RECOMMEND!!! · via Google [SED CARS](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/109363295017763804599/reviews) ★★★★★ Brilliant chargers 22 kw · via Google [Adam Walker](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/110194620123671346654/reviews) ★★★★★ Been quite a few times here with events and swimming.
