Public pools & Water park in Southampton

“Fantastic service from Claire, would highly recommend to anyone looking for a villa in Florida. Very easy to deal with and all questions answered quickly. Windsor Hills is a great location for getting to all the parks with plenty of amenities close by. The villa suited our needs perfectly.”

“My kids have both swum with Wessex swim school and have progressed amazingly. The small groups ensure that the children are not left getting cold waiting for their turn and mean they get more swimming time and therefore progress faster! My first child swam with a few other schools before coming to Wessex and there’s no comparison. Thoroughly recommend Wessex Swim School”

“Possibly the Best company I've ever had communications with. Laura has been great all the way through from 1st day when I bought my hot tub. I've had issues with sorting a delivery date due to landscaping not going to plan, but they have been very understanding & patient. Nothing seems too much trouble. I highly recommend this company & Laura has been amazing.”

“We booked a two hour sailing session for my husband and my best friend's little girl - as her Christmas present - and it was absolutely brilliant. I've never seen her beam so widely seeing her get off the boat after an amazing session. The instructor was brilliant and both of them were pumped with adrenaline afterwards chatting about everything they'd learned. Highly recommend.”

“Creative Pools did a fab job of fitting a new liner & wide mouth skimmer plate to our Gardi Pool. We are super pleased with the quality of the work.”

“Quite an experience for an old duffer like me! The staff and instructors were magnificent throughout, stepping in to help out my granddaughter when she was a bit scared on the last level and encouraging her to complete it. I never managed a dignified “landing” at the end of the zip wire runs, but great fun nevertheless.”

“Amazing service ! Verdun communicated brilliantly, team arrived when they said, worked hard daily, and pool ready for kids to use as planned ! lovely team (Wayne, Ed, Dwight) polite guys. Excellent handover from Verdun. Very quick to email us back if any concerns. Really excellent service. Would 100% recommend their service. Thanks so much”

“Had a brilliant visit to David Lloyd today, thanks to Kevin. He was super personable, genuinely helpful, and had a great sense of humour that made the whole experience relaxed and enjoyable. He’s clearly very knowledgeable too — answered all my questions, explained everything clearly, and made sure I felt comfortable throughout. Really appreciated his time and support and looking forward to starting next week!”

“Amazing place to relax and have a walk. Plenty of green space and a beautiful lake with good views”

“Southampton Water View Point is an absolute must-visit for anyone who loves stunning views and a peaceful atmosphere. This spot offers an incredible panoramic view of Southampton Water, where you can watch ships and ferries glide by. It's especially beautiful at sunset, with the sky reflecting off the water—truly breathtaking. The area is well-maintained, with plenty of benches to sit and take in the scenery. It’s a great spot for photographers, nature lovers, or anyone looking for a quiet place to relax. The walkways are clean, and there’s ample space for a leisurely stroll along the waterfront. Whether you’re a local or just visiting Southampton, this viewpoint is a perfect place to unwind and enjoy the natural beauty of the area. Highly recommended for a peaceful retreat with a view!”

“We have just stayed here for two nights (2 adults and two children aged 1 & 4). The hotel is lovely. Nice big room with a small kitchen and also a cot for our little one. The breakfasts were delicious and the hotel was only 20-25 mins from Paultons Park which we spent two days at. It was ideal! Special shoutout to the manager, Justine, who went out of her way each day to make my little girls feel special. From sprinkles on the hot chocolate to a complimentary ice cream, she really went above and beyond and it was so appreciated!”

“Such a great, friendly community pool. The facilities are no frills but always clean and all the staff are extremely welcoming. We enjoy swimming lessons with Baby Swim UK and the Parent and Baby swim sessions.”

“Two of my sons, Harry and Riley, attend their swimming lessons here. Harry - Weds @4.15pm Riley - Weds @4.30pm and are both currently doing breaststroke. They are a fantastic swimming pool and the staff are always helpful, friendly and happy. The kids really enjoy it and have come on leaps and bounds since starting. Not only in their swimming, but also their confidence in the water. If you are looking for somewhere for a leisurely swim, or for lessons for your children, I can not recommend here enough”

“We love this park! Great for smaller and older children (and there's a great little cafe with refreshments for the adults!) Spacious and fun, my three year old is becoming more adventurous and wanting to climb the bigger frames/slides! Plenty of benches and seating around. With the other activities on offer, (such as basketball hoops, tennis courts, climbing wall etc), you could easily spend a whole afternoon here!”

“Visited years ago with my children and now visiting with grandchildren. Lovely quiet learner pool for little ones. Just the right depth and always warm . If you observe the timetable you can choose a quiet session and the changing rooms are frequently cleaned. Not flashy or interactive pools but a good safe pool to spend your time playing and teaching littlies. It's a swimming pool, not a theme park!”

“Nice and clean, next to main road but well protected with fence”

“Great little place for the youngsters. Small shallow pool, playground, adjacent to a field with football wall, outside gym, and youth shelter. All on the doorstep of the tennis courts and Hanger Farm Arts Centre.”

“TLDR It's great value for money, friendly staff, warm pool, sauna and free classes. For me it's an easy 5 stars, but lets start with the bad stuff. Huge car park, but it's not obvious as it's through the arch behind. Maybe park in Lidl and then walk down on your first visit if you're not sure. The whole place could do with a coat of paint and TLC, if this is important to you it's probably not your gym. The layout is super confusing, the pool is obvious but the sauna is well hidden. The free weights and boxing area is in it's space ground floor, the 'fun machines' and yoga are upstairs down a completely different corridor. Lockers are confusing, you'll need a key from reception, ignore the pound slot in the door. Changing room floors can get wet; Sauna, showers and pool, there's a lot of water. Now the good news: The cleaner seems to live in the place, he's always mopping and emptying bins. The pool does vary in temperature but it's always the warmest I know of. If you want mostly swim time the membership is probably worth it for just that. Yoga, Pilates, swim aerobics, over 50's etc all the classes are free. There are currently 3 yoga classes a week if you can handle it. It just doesn't feel like somewhere for posers, people are there for health and genuine development not to just look good. Maybe you don't want the punch bags or boxing ring, perhaps the very intimidating free weights are't for you, or running machines don't float your boat? Just find the part that is your thing and enjoy. Any questions there will be someone on reception and they are super friendly.”

“Lovely friendly staff, Leisure centre was clean, Nice pool, we were there for a swim meet hosted by Seagulls.”

“We came down from Scotland and stayed in one of the Superior Rooms. Full air con, very roomy as it is an accessible room. Had plenty of room to manoeuvre my power chair. Staff are very friendly and remember you from previous visits. We had meal deals so enjoyed dinner and breakfast. Everything was excellent. Wouldn’t stay anywhere else when visiting family and friends or going on a cruise.”

“Always look forward to eating here! Lovely Wodehouse selection of dishes, food often refreshed & hot! Very clean & organised. Staff helpful.”

“Our room was very nice and cleaned to a high standard. Bed comfy, exceptionally clean bathroom. Staff; Gareth went above & beyond in helpfulness, nothing was too much trouble, esp helping with my wifi problem. Jackie on reception was friendly & professional. It is so nice to meet staff willing to help and appearing to enjoy their work. Thank you. We highly recommend this Premier Inn.”

“Best Chinese takeaway I have ever used. Never had a delivery that has not been freshly cooked. Would say - get your delivery ordered earlier than you thought - it's popular and always busy.”

“Lovely pitches and working facilities”

“I have had 2 wonderful manicures recently and they were perfect. One Shellac for going on holiday and 3 weeks later my nails were still perfect. Another just nail polish was also perfect! I’d say they were the best manicures I have ever had. I have had the full body massage twice and both were wonderful. Firmness as I asked for and very relaxing.”

“Have used Spruce for over twenty years. Have always found them to be helpful, knowledgeable, affordable and reliable.”
