Lovely coffee and fruit toast. Cakes looked delicious but too big a slice for me!

What an amazing place for young people to use 👥.

Great location although the parking is confusing and expensive if you don't get a ticket so be warned! 😏

Lovely interior with lots of facilities including a climbing wall which is great.  🧗‍♂️

Lots of water sports too! Obvs 😃

Lovely location right on the canal. 🛶
