Spent 5 days on learn to sail course with the residential package. I would recommend this venue and course as a way to emerse yourself in the subject, it felt more intensive than a weekly course at the local sailing club might be and was the kick start I needed. The training staff were all very experienced, patient and non-judgemental - calmly controlling a sailing dinghy with 3 newbies in it with 25mph gusts and not capsizing was in hindsight a masterclass (thanks Peter). Around 20% of the time was theory slotted in when the wind wasn't great. The wind all week was poor, the staff constantly juggled the itinerary and worked hard to find the best wind to help us make the most of it. The site staff were all friendly and welcoming, the food is canteen style, very welcome after a day on the water. The centre is in a beautiful area, what's not to like!

Our teenagers did the 3 hour stand up paddle board tuition whilst we were on holiday in the area. Very well priced and excellent tuition! Negatives are that Facilities for parent spectators could be better and it was unclear what was happening when we first arrived at reception.

My two grandsons had a wonderful experience paddle boarding. From the minute we walked in reception we could not have been more welcomed. The safety training was brilliant and the staff were amazing. A gang of kids all strangers went out for the afternoon to learn to paddle board. Had a whale of a time and all came back like best friends. It was wonderful to see them all tired but with happy smiling faces and fun tales to tell. Thank you so much for this exciting experience. Would recommend to anyone.

Good pool, ideal for families. Can be booked for individual families. The changing rooms are available although I think they'd prefer you got changed before arriving.
