Very Friendly Sailing club with good facilities if some what basic. But a great place to sail and learn to sail. fantastic bit of water and they hold some great events there. I have been attending events here over 10 years I would highly recommend them

Very scenic on the sunny day. It has a good cafe onsite, you can enjoy some water sports on the lake or take a walk into the woods around the lake area. Just near to this place, there is a heritage railway station wherein you can take ride in a train with steam engine.

This was a great little busy club in the 1980s and 90s. It's much quieter nowadays, but compared to other sailing clubs I've been at, it's still got some unique star qualities that can't be beat. Seems to be growing in membership again too, which is great.

Beautiful lake with reliable wind, particularly in the afternoons. Loads of room to get up a good speed. Regular races throughout the season. Lovely fellow members who help each other out.

View from clubhouse is hard to beat! Reasonable membership fees. Social events when not in global lockdown! 3 jetties and launching areas. Much quieter than the crowded public launch, so even just sitting on the beach with family on a sunny day is pleasant.

Good range of club boats to borrow. From small optimists and topper to larger dinghies and a cat. Highly recommend. Only minor thing is that cafe service and food could be better!

Really lovely staff and a great at selection of coffee and cakes. We popped in just before closing time on a Saturday afternoon but they still served us and were so incredibly friendly. I don’t usually write reviews but the staff really deserve some recognition.

On walking near the sailing club there is rubbish everywhere. Also there was a nearly full container of milk which if it got into the lake it would cause a massive amount of contamination. I think they should clean up around their area, it was quite discusting.
