What
Guests
Say
We stayed for 4 days and the surfing was amazing
Surf & Stay — TripAdvisor
“I can’t sing their praises enough, we stayed for 4 days in one of the Wave lodges with our 8 & 10 year old sons. Both our kids (and me) are surfing mad, the experience of the wave pool was amazing, the progression for us all was exponential. However it was the level of service from the support staff and the coaches that really made the trip, always happy to help on everything. Food is pretty good too!”
The coolest place to stay
Surf & Stay — Booking.com
“Coolest place to stay — largest man made surfing wave in UK, king sized bed with view of water out the front door, quiet location close to airport.”
The pod was really excellent
Surf & Stay — TripAdvisor
“Booked a Pod for 2 nights and 4 surfs. Pod was really excellent. Cosy and easy to figure out. Complementary tea and espresso was great. Everything clean and tidy. As an experienced surfer, I was blown away by how good the wave quality here is. The Turns/Maneuvers waves give off real Atlantic vibes, perfect for preparing on if you’re planning a trip to Eire or Cornwall. I hired a board and the staff were excellent. On the whole, very good experience. Will definitely be back!”
Plenty of waves on your doorstep

“Plenty of waves on your doorstep. The pod was clean and comfortable for one person and I think it would be good for a couple.”
