Nice soft play area for the little ones the only thing is it's a bit on the small side nevertheless my kids spent over an hour and a half there. They do a really nice hot chocolate but the food menu is a little limited in choice. Food prices are reasonable but I feel as though the cost of entry for a SMALL soft play area isn't good value for money since the larger ones charge around similar price.

Too expensive since there isnt enough gym equipment for how busy it gets and the pool areas are dirty. For example the shower in the womens bathrooms was grimey and like it had never been cleaned.

With the new rework on the gym it is very nice, lots of machines and good pricing however seems to get fairly busy nowadays. Would recommend going at off peak times.
