   I attended on Halloween with my daughter and her friend. We did one of the Halloween activity sessions and it was brilliant! It was so well organised, everyone was lovely. They had so much included. The value for money was fantastic! After the session we even braved the weather and did a walk around the reservoir to do the Halloween trail and claimed our prize back at the cafe. We ordered food too which was fresh and hot. We all enjoyed it and would thoroughly recommend! Even with the weather the views were lovely too!! X

   Always a nice cafe to visit with friendly staff and a range of snacks, meals and treats. The views are lovely pretty much whatever the weather and the walking trail around the reservoir is a good one - although a large section is shut during the winter months due to certain birds breeding. Always worth a visit if you're in the area.

   Such a beautiful place! We stopped here for a coffee so didn’t try the food, though it did look amazing! I will definitely be back with my dogs and spend a bit longer here

   Great place for watersports! Only 45 minutez from our campsite nr Ross-on-Wye. Will definitely be recommending to the guests staying with us. We went with another family (8 on water) and we all enjoyed our paddleboard and kayak session. Would have loved more swimming but a little limiting with 30 mins splash sessions only not just 'open'. But loved our tome here. Going back again this week! Beautiful surroundings, friendly staff and just fab place. Good facilities with showers etc. Great options for walks and lovely picnic area too. A decent cafe with great views, very good coffee and nice cakes incl GF too ... bonus! ( I would say it would benefit being open a bit longer for lunch/food in line with afternoon session finishing 2:45pm, perhaps till 3:30 not 3pm, it would give people time to change and still grab some food.)

   Great place to spend the day at! Make it a high energy day out or a place for a relaxing day. Either take part in one of the many sports on offer, on and off the reservoir, from sailing to mountain biking or just take a walk around taking in the sights along one of the many trails, enjoying the wildlife at the bird huts or in the meadows surrounding the reservoir. Just be sure you end up in the restaurant hosting great views and a good selection of refreshments and food choices. Perfect for getting the mountain bike out and making the loop around along the single tracks from water side to the hills surrounding giving great views. Plenty of history in the visitors centre and available from the lovely staff on site. Great for kids and adults. £3 parking all day or FREE for the first 60mins

   Easy to locate this reservoir. Parking not a problem to find and good disabled access. Single charge for all day parking so well worth an extended stay. Good little visitor centre with free guides available alongside a very clean and tidy cafe with homemade produce. Sit down meals available including a children's menu reasonably priced. There are levels of walks available for all abilities making this an easy going day put; plenty of space for a picnic around the site too.

   Love this place, especially our dog Wilson loves walking through the wooded area. Great place for families on a lovely sunny day, to have a picnic watching the paddle boarding and the sailing boats! But even on a sunny day it does get windy on the grass/picnic area! Two great café and toilet facilities

   Nice place to come for a walk and look at the view. Cafe was fine, only had drinks but menu looked reasonable and offer a balcony to really take in the views of the reservoir. Beware of the car park as you pay at a pay station, but I thought I had paid via contactless, but when it didn't show on my online banking I decided to pay a second time via their app as I didn't fancy a £100 fine...turns out the first payment hadn't gone through but no indication from the machine that there was an issue. Paid it through the app with same card and no problem. I could have left thinking I had paid, but because I had seen a review with the same issue I went on the side of caution. Glad I did. Trying to contact the car park firm resulted in a msg saying to email them the query so I couldn't check in the first instance whether the payment had gone through the car park machine....apart from that though, the place is worth a visit.
