My first visit and what an amazing place this is. Greeted with a warm welcome by the lady on the desk, clean and modern changing rooms inside and out, warm showers and a spotlessly clean pool in beautiful surroundings. Enough room poolside to relax for a bit if you want to as well and even though I went on a hot day when it was busy, it never felt too crowded. It also showed a true cross-section of society and was clearly being used by locals, with people of all ages, genders and races, which was super refreshing and gave a wonderful vibe. Big shout out to the staff who made my first visit so wonderful. 🥰🌟
We came to swim as visitors rather than to eat, through clearly eating and drinking is a big thing as there were lots of people from the bar area milling around.
We loved swimming here and politely had all of the facilities pointed out to us when we arrived. There’s outdoor and indoor changing, a lovely 25m pool which is gently heated (it feels cold when you get in but soon warms up). They say it’s only gently chlorinated and it felt like it - the water was lovely. Although we didn’t go into the steam room, we went between the pool and the sauna, both of which were a pleasure to use and neither felt too busy at any point. The (deliberately) cold showers and bucket available after coming out of the sauna were screamingly cold!
We had two hours so after some swimming sat next to the pool and had a coffee and a beer, which again was lovely.
The whole place has a lovely vibe: friendly, welcoming and everything ‘just right’. I came out feeling as light as a feather and would certainly return - what a treat.
