Two shower blocks, separate men's/women's toilets, free showers, chemical disposal, a clubhouse with a licensed bar open in the evenings at weekends, and large lawns for sunbathing. Club life is very sociable: 9-hole pitch & putt with a Saturday competition, boules on Sundays, badminton and miniten, themed evenings with dinner, karaoke, quizzes, communal barbecues and parties. The website states that singles, couples, families with children and groups of friends are all welcome; those who have been describe a warm welcome for groups of young people and for the LGBTQ+ community too.

Guests speak only well of it, with no problems reported.
