Fantastic experience: Sports leasure centre that also holds events. Indoor squash courts plus other activities, but we attended a non sports related event at the venue. Large car park, but it was full for the very large event we attended.

Stuart Morris 9 months ago

Fantastic experience: Very happy to use this facility. Not too busy, at the times I visit. Friendly staff and good range of activities. Plus, its also the library. Having a large car park also helps. Free for the first 2 hours so, that's also useful.

Fantastic experience: I use The Grange every week, to play table tennis and bridge, which at my great age I find invaluable in keeping me fit and alert! The facilities are good, and the staff very friendly.

Positive experience: The sale held here was well worth a visit, but .... here we have a modern building , community and leisure centre with no air conditioning ridiculous. Or do they only put it on for certain events?. It was so unbearably hot in the main sports hall. ☆☆Buyer beware☆☆ When buying refreshments , Ingredients aren't listed on individual items so there is a risk to anyone with allergies. they do not display their price list or individual prices of items. At least if they do, it wasnt on the board behind the counter or anywhere obviously visible. Only 3 specials were advertised at £3.85. A Small coffee is 2.95 and a panini is 6.20!!! This is extortionate . Costa and Starbucks are far cheaper and better quality!!!! You only find out the prices when you pay for your order. This is a trading standards issue. Not only that, they do not accept cash !!!! Not everyone has a bank card . This needs to be considered. Maybe if they took cash as payment the refreshments would be cheaper ? Food prep and hygiene. The paninis were supposed to be served hot, however they were only lightly toasted and the food inside was only slightly warm and still chilled in places. The cheese was not melted at all, not as I would have expected a toasted panini to be. This is unacceptable when heating a food it should be the correct hot temperature to avoid food poisoning, especially as some of them had ham inside. There is also cross contamination risk as I observed the same knife was used to cut the meat ones and the vegetarian ones. I did not see a valid food hygiene rating displayed and environmental health would be very interested to know about the food prep here. The food was sub-standard considering the expensive prices charged. Disappointed

Negative experience: It’s not bad for a local gym but there are far too many PTs. On occasion there can be 5 PTs using multiple parts of the small gym and the kit. It’s far too many. A couple of them use multiple machines/stations at a time and it’s becoming more and more frustrating. There is only one! rack and this often used by a PT, there is only one bench press too. There are only two benches and they are most often in use. I’m not a fan of complaining but it just gets worse. The gym is very crammed and when you have 5 PTs and their clients, that’s already 10 people in the weights area.

Positive experience: As centre's of leisure go, this one has the big halls, squash courts and a gym. It is a smallish gym that can get busy and it is probably time for some equipment upgrades. The cafe is downstairs and times of opening are on the attached photo. Also to note that there is an attached library which may be staffed, depending on time of day.

Positive experience: Nice place to meet friends, get advice on fitness, play a variety of sports. Good little cafe and public library on site. Cafe has some healthy options.

Fantastic experience: Great facilities

Richard Tanguy 7 years ago

Positive experience: Building sadly lacks inspiration. Given the pleasant outdoor setting (a small lake and well maintained park), the whole area could be enhanced (ie. by inviting local artistic, historic or literary groups to display the results of their work or research in the central foyer).

Bill Lambert 8 years ago

Positive experience: Pleasant leisure centre cafe in the leisure centre foyer and sunny patio overlooking a lake through the trees.

Lisa Dunn 8 years ago

Positive experience: A good all round leisure centre for a small town. It's got good facilities including a spa, the local library, a cafe and lots of classes etc for children. It's recently had new management and although some things have improved such as more spaces in the gym, other things such as the food have suffered..a gym shouldn't be selling sweets and fizzy drinks. It used to have a good selection of food. The staff can range from absolutely wonderful to downright rude...it's all down to luck. It's a shame there is no pool.
