Hi David, thank you for taking your time to leave us a review! We really appreciate your feedback and will be sure to pass your comments to the management team at site. Thanks, Maxine
Fantastic experience: Visited for Northumberland skills programme...very nice building and environment
Negative experience: Pool and gym spot on the one star is for the rude obnoxious argumentive person on the front desk she seams to think the sports centre is card payment only management needs to tell her otherwise what a let down for a lovely place where I've been going to for over 46 years when it was just a swimming pool and Bert the life gard had just started to the thing at front desk get a life would like to say a lot more but she's not worth it once again management have a word
Hi Rob, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. It's great to hear you are happy with the pool and the gym but not so much with a member of staff at the centre. I will pass on your feedback to the management team at site and if you would like to discuss this with us further, please contact us on [email protected]. Thanks, Maxine
Positive experience: Clean
Positive experience: Not crowded, got parked OK but I think there maybe problems at peak times
Negative experience: Little pool closed again for the 3rd week running, Apparently there’s a loose tile around the pool area. How long does a loose tile take to fix. Not great when you book swimming with a 2 year old.
Negative experience: Have always loved this centre, definitely the best pool around although with the new management I feel as though the pool area has become extremely dull and there just isn’t any light at all in there because they’ve covered up most of the windows. My main complaint though is that one member of staff who works at the front desk is so incredibly rude and condescending, I’m disabled and have a Places Leisure membership and a carer on my account too because of that, but during my latest visit the woman on reception thought it was okay to shout at me across the centre when I was going into the gym that my carer couldn’t use the machines with me, which I was already aware of but she had caused a significant amount of embarrassment and upset to me by making a scene of me in front of everyone else there and her tone was so rude towards myself and my carer, despite her being very bubbly towards everyone else there. I don’t want to return after this experience.
Fantastic experience: Excellent clean soft play ,fair price not ridiculously busy , kids loved it , well worth a visit with little ones
Positive experience: Great soft play. Good pool. Food ? Pretty standard . You don't get any sides with your toasted sandwiches anymore or burger . Which is bizarre. No menus ? Which takes staff more time to serve as people don't already know what option they will go for or pricing ? Food stops at 5 the friers go off I was told each time .. so don't try and get anything hot after half four. (Unless the three seperate times I have asked there was a problem suddenly on each day ? ) Staff mainly very helpful and friendly Swim instructors and life guards all seem lovely too when we have interacted. All in all a good place but food in general I think needs to be revised .....with sides included or stated that they aren't and which options are available and an actual physical menu or pricing list ? Soft play , pools and general areas always look really clean thanks to the staff tirelessly cleaning they seem so busy all the time.
Positive experience: Great sports centre, friendly and helpful staff
Fantastic experience: I go here 4 to 5 days a week and love the gym

Fantastic experience: Attended the annual jobs fair held in the sports hall. Good clean facilities, friendly staff and good food from the cafe.
Fantastic experience: Kids loved the softplay and not a bad price before snacks etc anyway
Positive experience: Visited the soft play 0 to 4 area with my 1 year old Grandson ... Very little for the kids to do .There's a wooden ship that the children climb up onto which consists of a seat a wooden steering wheel and a hole in the floor with a wooden slope to climb down, good job I was supervising him as being 1 year old he didn't realise that if he stepped off the edge he would hurt himself falling onto wood.there was a padded circle that was empty and a toy cooker that literally had no equipment ie pots,pans,food etc. The only other thing was a wooden climbing frame very sharp edges and again not suitable for a child.of one. He came away with a bruised cheek and marks on his legs and head from the solid wood and sharp edges. Some padding really does need to be added on the wooden equipment
Positive experience: Great local facility that has just been updated to modern times. Clean and well presented inside with a large parking area at the front of the business. Large swimming pool with cafe facilities inside. Spa is modern and well kept. Staff are friendly and approachable and willing to help.

Fantastic experience: Great staff, great gym with huge choice of weights and workout machines
Fantastic experience: State of the art equipment and good atmosphere
Negative experience: If I could give 0 stars I would Good facilities but sky high prices, Disinterested and bored staff and dodgy people who hassle females... Staff are no help with this either. No help with exercises, no help with goals, no actual help with the machines as staff are only there to clean. No one answers the phone when you ring, just left on hold for what seems like forever. No easy way to cancel your membership by design. Do yourself a favour and avoid this place...
Fantastic experience: I absolutely love it, swimming with the kids on sat then spa n gym for me and him!
Fantastic experience: Has had a few rocky weeks due to what seems to be issues with pool temp. However I'm glad to see it's back to being a fabulous pool again, Staff are really friendly and always assist if needed. On Friday my son hurt his toe & two lovely friendly girls assisted in getting in a plaster and making sure he was OK and smiling again, he even got a ice pack quickly. We had a great swim lesson where all the kids were supported so well, with a lovely clean changing room, pool is lovely and well maintained. Great classes esp love the yoga and spinning, cafe has great meals and play area always clean.
