Really nice friendly place good food massive pool loads of seating can take your own chairs etc... only drawback the2 male life guards are very whistle blowing happy which spoils it.... and the shallow end gets very busy due to not letting none good swimmers in deeper end even with parents on floating which is pathetic.... lighten up let people have fun...

The changing rooms smell of urine much more than toilets do, the water is extremely dirty and there is no designated area for swimming. Kids are diving recklessly from all sides of the pool, jumping on top of other people’s heads, doesn’t feel safe. It’s understandable this is a charity but I’ve been to different pools and lidos like this across the UK, and this was the absolute worst experience so far, with people using the pool contributing to this greatly, but lack of any rules from pool’s management doesn’t help either I liked that there is a grassy area and a wee shop, maybe in a different weather (not during heatwave) the experience is more pleasant Very cheap, too

Criss

Just visited today with my family, and it was a complete waste of money. The swimming pool was freezing cold—you couldn't stay in it for more than a few moments. It felt like swimming in the North Pole, despite the website advertising it as a heated pool. To make matters worse, the water was dirty and full of leaves and debris from the surrounding trees. We also decided to get some food, but the cleanliness was just as disappointing. The ketchup bottle on the table was covered in dirt, and there were mosquitoes all over it. Overall, it was a huge waste of both money and time. We definitely won't be coming back, and I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.
