    Brilliant tots ski lessons
    We booked our son into some tots ski lessons before we went on our skiing holiday. The staff each week were amazing! He learnt so much in the few lessons he had and it gave him so much confidence when we went on our holiday and prepared him well for ski school in Andorra. Thank you so much for your patience each week. Especially Harry who had the patience of a Saint teaching a 4 year old how to use a button lift!!
    Hi Natalie Thank you so much for your wonderful review. I'm so pleased that your son did so well here but also in Andorra. I will pass on your comments to Harry, he will be so pleased with your feedback. We look forward to seeing you back at Swadlincote snowsport Centre soon. Best wishes Brian General Manager

    Fun for all ages and skill levels
    After having a party for our 10 year old a few weeks ago, which was brilliant, we dropped in for a go at tubing and tobogganing, as we were passing. Had a great time. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. Well recommended for all ages, both young and old.
    Hi Thank you so much for your lovely review. I will make sure that all the team members are aware of your kind comments. We look forward to welcoming you back to our centre soon. Brian General Manager

    Wonderful staff! We had a very very happy daughter!
    We took our daughter who’s 4 to go tobogganing. She thoroughly enjoyed it and it’s a great family activity. Whilst there she was captivated by the skiing and the general manager, Brian, any the rest of the staff were amazing! They gave her a trial lesson on the nursey slope and by the end she’d done the poles on her own and gone down the nursery slope in the snow plough position. Brian was fantastic, he knew just how to get our daughter mastering the skills needed in a fun and lovely way! He went above and beyond! She was hooked and ended up making an afternoon of it with tubing and the viper run too.
    Hi Thank you so much for your review. I am so pleased that your family had a fantastic time at our centre. I'm also over the moon that your daughter enjoyed her first skiing lesson. I will pass on your kind comments to all the team. We are looking forward to seeing you all again soon. Brian General Manager

    Great morning here! Exciting place!
    We took our grandchildren here aged 11 and 13, they LOVED it! They are quite sporty and loved the tubing ,sliding down then dragging the tube up the hill to do it all again. Hot work. They also liked the drop slide, bumpier and exciting. The long toboggan run was ‘ace’ so they tell me. They did 3 runs each. The young man assisting them was very kind and assuring. As the grandchildren had skied a little before, the manager then kindly took them out on the dry ski slope and helped them do several runs down the slopes! I had my heart in my mouth but he was so good with them and reassuring, we loved watching them and they were over the moon! Thank you so much for making both our day and their day,they never imagined skiing in July.

    Had a great day
    I organise summer school for the academy I work in, and every year I take the students involved on a trip to the ski centre. The children we work with often struggle with anxiety and some have additional needs and lack confidence, the staff always look after us and are always so patient and kind. We have been again today and all 22 had a wonderful time, some were very worried about the activities to start with but with a bit of encouragement soon got involved. Thank you to all the staff that ensured they had a great day filled with new experiences

Booked a birthday get together for our daughter’s 16th birthday and school friends. We had visited 8 years ago for our eldest birthday and had a fab time including a lovely meal in the restaurant. However, on our second visit today we noted the site was run down, restaurant only available to private parties now and told the cafe was not serving food due to staff shortages although we note there were 4 staff present when we booked in! The first part of my daughter’s experience only lasted 20mins when it should have been for 30 minutes. The other parts of the experience were better however we were amazed to see the staff were taking time out from working and using the facilities for their enjoyment!! We ended up at the local McDonald’s as the facility was not serving food which was not ideal, therefore why were the staff not working when they could have been providing a much better customer experience of serving food etc?!

My children 14 and 16 have just finished 4 weeks of weekly private tuition in a group of 8. It was fantastic, their instructor Sam was so brilliant with the whole group. She had learn’t all their names by the end of lesson 1, was great with them all, had them all skiing to a great standard by the end of week 4. My son 16 said he’d go back again just to be able to see Sam…praise indeed from a teenager!
