Eine wirklich schöne Erfahrung

Wir hatten eine richtig gute Zeit in den Pools. Wir waren an einem warmen Nachmittag dort und uns war das warme Wasser fast schon zu warm, aber es gab auch einen Pool mit kaltem Wasser. Es gibt quasi zwei Seiten mit Pools, hier bucht man die Familienseite, hat also auch viele Kinder um sich herum. Auf der anderen Seite, für die man vor Ort auch noch einen Aufpreis zahlen kann, geht es ruhiger zu.

Canterbury holiday

Awesome pools. Very clean with excellent changing rooms with heated floors, private changing booths and complimentary lockers. We went mid week and it was quiet and a beautiful setting. The pools were immaculate
