What visitors say
Many visitors have reported friendly and helpful staff who are willing to accommodate requests, and some particularly value the quieter weekday atmosphere. Some have noted that booking availability doesn't always align with actual capacity, the pace of play can be slower during busier periods if groups are held up ahead, and communication about closures or changes may be limited.
