I had my initial ski lessons with Mollie who was wonderful, patient and friendly, I learned a lot fairly quickly... re-visited more recently to practice and failed epically, only to be saved by Greg, an instructor on the day, who again was wonderful, super patient and friendly, who helped me down the slope, gave me some pointers and kindly took me through a few trial runs to get my confidence back. Super stars all round and I can recommend the sweet potato fries and vegan breakfast as well!!

Took 3 children aged up to 13. Youngest at 6 had never been and was a bit scared. Halfway through game didnt want to cling to my side anymore and was off on her own. We bought the all day wrist band, total value for money. Staff were brilliant and so helpful and accomodating. I have been a few times before over last couple of years and it has always been the same experience with the staff, cant fault them. If it was a quieter time, staff came up with different options on game play. Not being from the area the only nearby parking I could find was at the NCP for over 2 hrs. As a result we had to leave when our 4hrs was up, otherwise we would have stayed longer. During our visit we saw a range of players from age 6 to a lady of 72 who I spoke to and said she had a great time. Everyone was loving it. Would go more often if we lived nearer.

This place is great, there is so much to do. It gets especially busy at weekends and over the school holidays. My little girl loves it. Avoid if you have a hangover haha. Daughters third party was held here on a Sunday in January. Everything was fabulous. Our host was lovely and we had everything we needed and more. Plus a free entry for another time. Highly recommend it.
