We had a fantastic hour of fun and laughter in Scramm escape rooms yesterday! We had decided to do something different as a family, for a. Roth day treat and the four of us took on The Chocolate Room, managing to escape with just a couple of minutes to spare! :) The owners were great. They helped us relax and get into the spirit, making the whole experience more enjoyable, to the point that even the Oompa-loompa outfits, complete with pink wig were donned without hesitation by teenagers and parents alike! Having wrapped up our hour of fun and headed home, the owners went out their way to reunite us with some shopping we had inadvertently left behind. Thanks! I really am happy to highly recommend this venue.

A few of us travelled over from Cheltenham/Gloucester for a pool comp at the weekend. A very enjoyable day in a club that clearly caters to serious pool players. Although most of us we're hanging fron the night before and couldn't function. The tables look and play well and the atmosphere is cosy but very welcoming. We'll be back soon for another attempt (minus the hangovers).

Very understanding staff as we rang ahead to say the roadworks had held us up. Excellent measures in place for easing of the lockdown with everything set up & ready to go. Would also highly recommend the Game & Pizza deal but suggest ordering this at reception on arrival rather than relying on the app (poor internet signal). Thanks for a really good post-lockdown experience! ????

Water Fowl Sanctuary and Children's Farm

Reviewed By mazza53_12

Well, those of you who made comments on here regarding the Sanctuary I hope you are pleased with yourselves, and those who called the Council and complained, because now thanks to you and the Council none of us can go back and enjoy the animals because they've closed it down. So you got stung by a nettle, no one was going to die, they didn't serve food they weren't going to poison anyone, no one was in any danger from the animals, you pay a small entry fee and yet expect so much, they were just a small family unit giving homes to animals no longer wanted as well educating and helping young children get up close and personal to animals, a huge loss to the area. As for the animals I doubt all will be rehomed due to their ages so will have to go to slaughter. But you didnt think about that when you complained, just the me me me attitude.

Spiceball Leisure Centre

Reviewed By ElmoMasey - Brackley, United Kingdom

I've been a member here for just over a year now and the classes are amazing, you get them for free with your membership, or they're about £6 I think if you aren't a member, there's a big diversity of classes and they all make you feel like you're working hard, the instructors are all lovely, especially Kieran, he's really welcoming, and really energetic and motivational during your workout, He also makes great personal training programmes in the gym itself. The equipment is all modern and easy to use, and there's always instructors around if you need any help. There's a great diversity of work out equipment, from weight training, to cardio and everything else. The gym is pretty big which is good because you never have to wait for your turn on a machine. The pool is good, clean and modern, and there's plenty of changing rooms and showers. The reception staff are really friendly and helpful. They also offer student memberships for £25 rather than the usual £44. I'm very happy with this gym and wouldn't want to go anywhere else.
