The Ageas Bowl

With it being a relatively new ground, it hasn't had to make compromises as it has grown, meaning all the seats have great views. The parking issues in the early days have got better as the years have gone on, and it's now relatively quick to leave the car parks after a big game. The food and drink is very expensive, but no surprise there.

Great modern hotel. Clean, large air con rooms.Large sunny terrace bar. Restaurant food was first class, well presented, tasty food. Service very good and really friendly.Breakfast was buffet style breakfast with huge selection from hot, continental, fruit, and cereals. Coffees, teas, and fruit juices.

Third stay. Pretty good value for money. Room overlooked the pitch. Dinner at beefys was pretty decent opted for the burger which was an impressive size. Bar manager was very friendly and helpful. Only small moan was the amount of uncollected room service plates left outside the rooms on our arrival , they were gone in the morning but it didn't smell or look great for a first impression. Would stay again.

Had a great day at Boundary Lakes GC.Fantastic golf course, in brilliant condition. The weather didn't play ball unfortunately, high winds and rain. Great place to visit , definitely play there again.

A great venue! Loads of variety of food vendors. Expensive for food and drink, especially for children! Parking was a bit of a pain too. But the event seating, screens, view, DJ, fire, ect was great fun. An enjoyable experience.

Have been watching the Hundred tournament here with my family over the past few years. The organisation is brilliant and hardly wait time to get into the stands. Excellent services and food options and the atmosphere is amazing! Getting out of the car park after a match is a bit tricky though.

Lovely cricket ground with pitch close up. All staff are extremely friendly and helpful.Good selection of take out food. No major ques for anything. Only thing missing is the good old fashioned score board. I like to glance at stats through the game.

This is a first rate venue for cricket matches.It is easily accessible due to its access to the motorway network.There are hotels available in the vicinity.The ground is well maintained with plenty of places to eat and drink.When full the venue does have an issue with toilets that become overcrowded and an improvement needs to be made to the cleaning schedule.The viewing experience is excellent. The seats are comfortable. Stewards are well trained and friendly.

We went here to see the Arctic Monkeys gig, which was an awesome night however the Ageas bowl is a nightmare! First of all, parking options are atrocious, we opted to rent a parking space from someone half an hour walk away, finding the venue was fairly easy, quite a walk even from the main road. It looks like a cool place, the security staff were friendly and approachable. The alcoholic drinks are minimum of £7.50 and bottled water is £3 however you're not allowed the bottle, it's poured into a cup. We were also advised on the ticket that no food or drinks were allowed to be taken in the venue and the queues were insane in 26 degree heat to just get some water is horrible management. Food was extortionate too, but there was a lot of options which is good. We paid £31 for two bowls of chips, small fried chicken pieces and lettuce. There's a lot of seating although you have to pay to use it. So the worst part was at the end of the gig around 25,000 all left the venue at the same time through the one exit, it was almost a stampede, people were climbing out through fences and hedges, barriers were knocked down, people were scaling the hill and subsequently falling and injuring themselves. They all spilled out onto the road and traffic had to come to a standstill. You would think that in 22 years since Ageas bowl has been in use they would have figured out a better solution than to just have everyone leave at the same time through the same exit.

Booked a suite with x2 points rate. Arrived in room and almost everywhere we looked there was dust, and the windows hadn't been cleaned in weeks.Added photos so you can all see how bad it really was, its not a joke!! This is a suite costing something like £270 a night.They had no spare rooms, so they made the stay free, but the double points rate I booked was ignored, even though it was not my fault. Zero point awarded.I'm a Gold member so find this attitude disgusting really. Lady at desk said we can't award points... this is untrue, a hilton in Birmingham awarded me points previously for their mistakes.Room service forgot the bottle opener twice!!Aircon unit not working, video attached.Even the bar had dirt on the floor.
