Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We had a mixed group of 6, family and friends aged 12 upwards, and we all absolutely loved it. First, Katrin took us for the body boarding, which was great fun even after some spectacular wipe outs.. Katrin was a great instructor and very patient! The groups are kept small enough so that you're not waiting long for your turn, and shorty wet-suits provided so no equipment needed.
We then had a go at the white water rafting. November temperatures with rain didn't stop us having a great time, as the full 5/4 wet suits were plenty warm enough. Harry was a great sport and managed to stop us from capsizing.
The changing facilities were fine, my only criticism is that no hairdryers were working though.
Overall l highly recommend this place. The safety briefings were thorough, and all the staff were friendly and helpful and we felt safe at all times.

Went along for the open water swim session on Saturday morning which was great. I understand this is a trial until Christmas. I will definitely be back! I’m doing a winter open water swim challenge so it’s great to know there’s somewhere accessible where I’m not contending with tides/currents/river levels or having to co-ordinate a swim partner so I can definitely get some meters in. Knowing there are warm facilities right there when I’ve finished my swim is also beneficial. Easy parking too. Thank you. See you again soon.

Attended CIWW for the first time and was impressed with every aspect of the day.
Booked for the 4-6 & 8 Kayak sessions.
Top marks for the help received in booking prior to event, the excellent level of safety provided and great changing / shower facilities.
Also everyone I met on the water made my day.

What a great experience for 12 & 13 year olds.
The coach Katrin was superb.
This activity was for my sons 13th birthday party & it proved to be a massive hit with his friends.
Would definitely recommend.
TY, Katrin.

My two sons have been twice bodyboarding in this past week once with a friend and once together, they had a total blast each time, the first time they had a male instructor who we found to be engaging and easy to understand, and my child and his friend came away insisting that he would love to go again, so we took our two children a couple of days later this time we had Kat as the instructor, she was lovely also, by the end of the session my child was able to roll on the board, let the board go and catch it and do other various tricks! Not cheap but great fun for a treat

Had the best time white water rafting yesterday. It was just me and my daughter and Jack, our instructor, was fantastic! He took us around the course doing different things each time and made sure we had a great experience. Totally recommended!

Had time on the family ring session with me (53), 19 year and 14 year old. Staff clear and kind. Water cold but invigorating. Kit great but worth having wetsuit gloves as holding onto each others inflatable (especially smaller one) sore on hands. Would do again !

The white water course is a great facility; well maintained, clean and tidy. Rescue staff are watchful so it's safe but not over-policed.
Great atmosphere. Where else can you get an evenings entertainment for a few quid?
