Reviews
"Small skate park ideal for under 12s. Plenty of other good playground equipment on the same site. Small outdoor pool but sufficient and well staffed."
"Called them this morning to find out what time they were open, drove 45 mins to get there to find out they are "closed" until the afternoon. Empty pool, two lifeguards sitting there, but not open. How odd! When asked why they had told me earlier they were open, they just shrugged. Why would you pay two people to sit there on their own for most of the day? EDIT: I'm slightly upset by the description below of my review as not wholly accurate. For complete transparency - I called and asked "what time are you open for general swimming today?" as the timetable on the website didn't seem to make sense to me. The reply was "9am" to which I replied "great, thank you, we'll see you in an hour or so then". There was no hanging up. When we arrived, the pool was empty and the two lifeguards were sitting at the front desk chatting. All I can review is what I experienced and saw, which is what I wrote. Advice to other visitors? Call and ask very clearly exactly what time they open and close, and whether children are allowed at those times or not, because they open and close repeatedly during the day on some occasions as the owner wrote, and the website is not entirely clear unless you know this information in advance. I'm sure the pool is lovely, but as they didn't let me in, I can't comment on this."
"It is quite nice and its usually not too busy. The parking is fairly cheap and the staff are very kind. The changing rooms are quite spacious and the pool is big. You get a fairly large basket to put your belongings in and you keep it near the pool. There is a nice selection of drinks and snacks in the mini cafe and outside seating. All in all it's nice."
"Excellent value for money and an incredible asset to Buckfastleigh, this pool is clean and well worth a visit! It's heated and I can get in it without squealing (I'm a wuss!) My daughter is 5 and loves it too, she can stand up in part of the shallow end. Helpful and friendly staff too. Definitely going to be there all summer!"
