The 25m, heated pool is over 100 years old, originally starting life as a brewing reservoir for the cider brewery next door. The staff are friendly and helpful, telling us that until recently the pool was heated by the brewing process! Despite its long history the pool is immaculately clean, the water was probably around 25° when we visited, and the site is well maintained. Lockers are available on site, traditional changing cubicles with hot showers and toilets, a tuck shop, picnic tables, children's play area, and an additional small pool for toddlers means that there's something for everyone. Parking is free, although I assume that the car park will fill quickly on hot days. We went for a lane swim - one fast, two medium, and a double-width slow lane were available with a very attentive life guard looking on throughout. We really enjoyed our visit 💕 · via Google [Bob Iles](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/112239999510208111921/reviews) ★★★★★ What a beautiful pool. Wheel chair access and ramps as well as good for children too. 0.9 metres in the shallow end to 2 metres at the deep end. Attentive life guard on duty at all times.it is heated but still cool. It was 22 when we were there. Seating areas around the edges. Children's pool and a fountain play area. Café does snacks and drinks. It's clean and tidy. Close car park at front. Toilets and showers as well as lockers. · via Google [Lisa Ralph](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/117988068787418479546/reviews) ★★★★★ Really unhelpful staff and poor customer service. Recently moved to Shepton and had booked a lido swim for today. I called first thing and explained that my 1 year old was really unwell so we couldn’t attend, so would it be possible to move the session to next week. The first person I spoke to didn’t know so I got passed to a girl who just gave me a flat ‘no. Bookings are non refundable (I didn’t want a refund) and non transferable”. I understand that there are rules that should be adhered to, but I felt the level of customer service was poor. Not the way to run a business… but perhaps they are so busy they don’t care about locals and return custom? Needless to say I won’t be booking again which is a shame. · via Google [Janine vowles](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/114898059543626052841/reviews) ★★★★★ Amazing pool and the staff are all absolutely lovely and so helpful and friendly too. We do the yearly Dogswim at the end of the season and it’s our favourite place too go because the whole atmosphere is brilliant. Highly recommended this place whether for a dog swim or a human swim. · via Google [See all reviews on Google →](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m4!3m3!1s0x487224898e3c718b:0x8c932e6bca1b5ac9!9m1!1b1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) ## At a glance **Address** Shaftgate Avenue, Shepton Mallet, BA4 5YA [Get directions](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=51.1912429%2C-2.5527116) **Category** Lidos & Outdoor Pools **Guest rating** 4.3 / 5 (204 reviews) **Suitable for** All Ages **Setting** Outdoor **Destination** Shepton Mallet [More attractions in Shepton Mallet](https://staycation.co.uk/shepton-mallet/attractions) ★ 4.3 (204 reviews) [Visit official website](https://www.fusion-lifestyle.com/centres/shepton-mallet-lido/?utm_source=staycation.co.uk&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=attraction) [01749 342126](tel:01749342126) (please mention staycation.co.uk when calling) ### Quick Facts **Destination** Shepton Mallet **Postcode** BA4 5YA **Payment** Cards, Contactless **Plus Code** 9C3V5CRW+FW [Directions ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/dir//''/data=!4m7!4m6!1m1!4e2!1m2!1m1!1s0x487224898e3c718b:0x8c932e6bca1b5ac9!3e0?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) [More photos on Google ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m3!3m2!1s0x487224898e3c718b:0x8c932e6bca1b5ac9!10e5?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) [Write a review ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m3!3m2!1s0x487224898e3c718b:0x8c932e6bca1b5ac9!12e1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) ### 🏨 Places to stay near Shepton Mallet Hotels, B&Bs and self-catering on Booking.com, with live prices.
