Absolutely disgusting and dirty. Toilets smells of urine, toilet rolls are all over the floor. Slimy walls under the showers and hairs stuck everywhere. Changing room's bins are always full of smelly nappies, dirty walls and the floor. The water is nicely warm but full of hairs, plasters and bits. Staff always seems unhappy. Only recommend this place if you want to get a fungus infection or other desiease.

Visited twice after a 14 year hiatus and wouldn't come again. The pool and changing facilities are ok but the many of the staff including the manager are impolite, rude and obnoxious. All require a lesson in communicating appropriately and sensitively. The useless male lifeguard lets the children run riot in the swim for all. Limited ladies only sessions. Lots to be said about the people that attend too who have no manners or etiquette, jumping straight into the pool after being in the sauna. Disgusting.

I’d only recommend this swimming bath if you want to be constantly harassed and degraded by staff members. Staff are very rude and condescending, takes 48hrs for a refund which the manager was reluctant to give me as he was just sticking up for his staff. The staff laugh at complaints. The changing rooms are vile and definitely need a deep clean. Rank. We got kicked out after 20minutes of her following us around staring then she told my friend she couldn’t swim when she can she’s just not as confident in it as others.
