What visitors say
What a fantastic place! It's so nice to have a traditional building that sparks memories of days gone by. The main pool is huge, with plenty of space to swim, play catch or use inflatables. There are lockers there with a refundable £1 charge. There are toilets, benches and a cafe there, that serves chips and burgers, sandwiches, drinks and cakes. The prices are reasonable as well. They sell ice lollies as well. We sat on the grassy area with a picnic blanket. There is a small play area for kids with a climbing frame, slide and swing. Plenty of space to find a spot to sit. The water in the pool was a good temperature.

Such a lovely place, prices are good for entry, food and drinks. The pool however is always dirty every time weve been its realky off putting, and today there was Chlorine granules as well as dead bugs n just very dirty look, also lack of showers is really off putting. 2 showers in the womens when capacity can reach 600!!! Would be better to have more showers available.

Glad that i got to experience this heatwave in a public pool. Lovely to see all the life guards doing their job to the best of the ability. It will be the last time that i visit the public pools as it was too expensive. It was a Tuesday afternoon, after 4, i was charged £17.00 for two adults .. is this correct... I think it was a rip off. I would like to know why i paid so much? Please can management reply back on my review.

Lots of positives, the pool is big and a decent temperature. The changing rooms are pretty grotty and no mirror or anything but no big deal for us. Unfortunately the very over the top lifeguards spoilt if for us, treating us all like we’re in prison, non stop blowing their whistles and shouting at people to basically stop having fun! They were even trying to boss my child around when not in the pool and I highlighted they’re just kids having fun. Not sure if I’d go back, simply because the lifeguards were such a downer and it put my son on edge a bit, he was nervous to do anything as he didn’t want to get shouted at by the grumpy lifeguards.
