Negative experience: Extortionate prices for drinks, £2.60 for a mug of hot water with a teabag in and a splash of milk, they even refuse extra hot water, unfriendly server.Tbis is dearer than a pot of tea in Seaford cafes., Beth's Kitchen charge £2.30; for a pot of tea and homemade biscuits, Haribets £2.40 .Both are happy to provide extra hot water and their staff are lovely.

Fantastic experience: We attended a children's party. Mist enjoyable,large Bouncy Castle. Friend staff and reasonably priced refreshments.

Lewis Pro Published on Google 2 years ago

Negative experience: Nice, good quality gym. Thing is, when I signed up to a 2 year direct debit membership, I was not advised that immature 15-17 year olds completely dominate the place from about 4pm-7pm Monday to Friday. They mistreat the equipment, hang around in large groups and act immaturely… totally what you’d expect from kids of their age. I’m not happy about signing up and not being advised of this first. Not all the youngsters are like this, but generally it’s not a pleasant experience. Very disappointed. If I’d known, I would not have signed up. Poor business by the management in my view.

Negative experience: I visited the Downs Leisure Centre cafe two weeks ago ordered a coffee and a cake slice, before I opened the cake I noticed it was mouldy.. returned it to the cafe , was offered another slice but that one was out if date !!! Cafe staff need to check dates on food they are selling !! Not good publicity,.

Sam Hilly Published on Google 3 years ago

Positive experience: Decent and hot Netflixs on tredmils etc. So no steam room only lewes has this

Ryan Lindsay Published on Google 3 years ago

Negative experience: Signed up May this year and enjoyed it was quiet and could have good use of the gym. Although due to the cost of living being a student on an apprenticeship during a cost of living I could no longer afford it and due to other work commitments that arose I physically couldn’t use the gym. I emailed the office as it states to be met with a rude reply then to be completely ignored afterwards with no way to cancel the payments I’m left paying for a membership that I can’t physically use and no way of contacting anyone because I just get ignored. Company is an absolute con and couldn’t care less once they’ve got your money in their pocket. No regard for there customers or there well being.

Fantastic experience: Good gym and for once a gym that plays decent music. Hitting my PRs listening to bangers by David Bowie and ABBA is fun. Friendly staff and a clean gym with relatively new equipment. Could use some more compound equipment like another Squat or flat barbell bench rack but other than that no complaints. Nice chill atmosphere.
