Jubilee Pool Cafe in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Great place to take the kids for a swim

Not so crowded. The pool has its cafe and seating area is available while waiting. Great views

A great experience! Lake water pool with friendly people, good catering offer.

Really nice experience, even in the rain. As it was raining we were told that we could leave our personal items in one of the changing cubicles which others were using to change in, so not ideal. Suggest investing in some lockers to make the experience less stressful, as we were trying to keep an eye on our things and enjoy the pool at the same time.

Great place to visit. The geothermal pool was lovely and warm to be in. Nice experience to swim in saltwater main pool. Nice facilities, clean, friendly staff, with cafe onsite. Worth booking in advance for geothermal pool. Sauna is nice too. Recommended

Went to the cafe for a coffee - it took 4 staff on a non- busy day 25 mins to make a coffee. It tasted burnt - I couldn't finish mine, and since we were on a deadline, I didn't complain. I won't be going back.

Such an amazing Pool, didn't know till I was in it that it's Sea Water used at the pool and not water with chemicals in it which makes it better. The warm pool was lovely. Loved the changing rooms, looked like proper beachside changing areas you see. Well looked after. Want to come back in the future.

Too cold not suitable for kids nd water is very salty

Think it's really good value for money. 1400hrs-1800hrs.

Plan your visit in advance and buy tickets online. We wanted to go swimming at short notice, but you need extra tickets for the warm pool, which were all sold out! We bought tickets for the cold large main pool for 8 pounds per person, which wasn't very worth it. The water was cold and dirty. It would be nice if the facility could be renovated and beautified.

Pictures look good, but the place is underwhelming. A bit outdated and the pool is slippery

This place is so classically British, a cold water pool that is so chilling but just great. The geothermal pool is a great addition, fabulous place, my only complaint is that there could be more closed off cubicles than there is

Only 2 of 4 showers worked. Quite understand why dogs aren't allowed poolside, but an easier way to get from the dog access area and the pool would have been nice. Cafe is publicly accessible without using the pool, speaking of which seems quite well maintained, has a kids aqua assault course and a heated pool for a little extra. 5 lifeguards in attendance, suits the pool(s) size.

Lovely facilities, enjoyed the thermal heated pool.

Lovely outdoor seawater pool the geothermal heated pool is the warmest I've ever been in but you need to book that as an hour slot.

Booked to go into the main pool, we went to go in to the shallow pool first with out daughter, food wrappers were floating in the water and it looked awful. She went down the steps and refused to go in, which I don't blame her, but a big waste of money! We went to the rock pools and beach next to it and the sea was cleanerthan the pool and she went in it quite happily!

WE LOVE THE JUBILEE POOL! We stopped in while walking the Coastal Path and had a stunning swim and breakfast. The veggie breakfast and salmon bagels completely exceeded expectations (not just because we were hungry hikers!). Even better a hunky instructor led an aqua aerobics sesh while we were eating for some top tier boogie and entertainment. Would recommend

Great warm water facility (and cold if you want). Clean, tidy, nice cafe. Don't expect much in the way of changing rooms! It's a closet with no access to power etc. showers available as well.

The best and unique geothermally heated pool experience...warm as toast and a very pleasurable swim

Always such a joy to visit Jubilee. Booked an all-inclusive deal for a solo visit and had a memorable, relaxing spa day here. Loved alternating between the geothermal and cold pool and the new sauna is brilliant. Pool temperature at 15.5 was actually too warm for me; I’m a cold-water swimmer and will have to come back in the autumn/winter 💙. Friendly, generous staff at the cafe, the whole area is well-staffed with lifeguards and very well-kept, I always feel safe. Wonderful facilities, tasty food and coffee. The only suggestion I have is that it would’ve been good to have a few more hot options on the menu, even in the summer for cooler mizzly days like when I visited. Always look forward to my next visit. Curious if the geothermal gets turned up in winter?

Easy to order tickets online , the way you input your booking is slightly different from last year. If you live in pz or TR19 postcode area you have to add an'extra' ticket. Free parking along the main road, or paid parking opposite in the carpark. Loving changing facilities, all doors to cubicles now. Floor in cubicles and showers have been tiled and look beautiful. Both pools are fantastic to swim in, fully lifeguarded. Geothermal pool is warn, main pool temperature changes due to weather or if it has been recently cleaned. Small shop onsite and a good cafe, which has an assortment of drinks, snacks or food. A good place to visit to enjoy the facilities.

Finally sun, but the café stubbornly closes at 4 p.m., berxit, No Jobs?

Good fun for a swim. Cool art deco pool.

The heated geothermal section was underwhelming. Changing and shower facilities were clean and bright. The unheated section was closed, but I was still charged full price for entry to the geothermal section (which includes access to cold section). If it is summer I think it is nicer to find a nearby beach for swimming and water activities.

My experience and others at the time of going seemed to be negatively affected by a long wait for our order. I only ordered one drink and whilst waiting for at least 10 minutes a few other people went to ask where their orders were. There was a delay with drinks and seemed some were forgotten. In the end I asked where mine was and they made it there and then . I have worked in cafes and know it isn't easy but on this occasion something had gone wrong. Probably a moment in time where they got busy. The coffee was good though

it was a joyful bathing experience.

The 'heated' section of the pool is too cold to just bob around in and too cramped/crowded to swim in. The showers after are tepid. Too expensive for what it is. Disappointing.

Only went for a look. Not many people there.

Excellent place to spend the afternoon, swapping between the large pool and the geothermal heated pool..

Went in Geothermal pool..very relaxing

Beautiful place. part of the swimming pool is heated

Briiliant! Have been to a few lidos now and this was great! Friendly staff, clean saltwater pool to swim in and the warm geothermal pool to relax in.

Excellent. but could have been cleaner, and showers weren't working Over all well worth going and will go again!

A beautiful experience in the receptionand magical pool. Let down by unpleasant service in the cafe

The main pool is just like swimming in the ocean so be prepared for a cold swim. The heated pool is lovely and great to get into to warm yourself back up. If you get the heated pool tickets, it permits you to use the main pool too. Because of the size and popularity of the heated pool, you can only book in 55 minute slots. I arrived at 10:00 booked the heated pool for 11:00 and did a cold swim and then I went in the heated pool. I would book your ticket in advance so you can give yourself time to use the main pool if you wish.

Didn't swim just had a drink lovely views

It's nice, but you don't have to be cautious about swimming.

Thoroughly enjoyed our swim in this retro geothermal pool. The water was a great warm temperature and not overcrowded. One has to book a 1 hour time slot from 10h00. The cold pool was very cold!!

Great pool let down by the very murky water. The sea is such a lovely colour around Cornwall, shame the sea water in the pool isn't quite so inviting. Geothermal pool was lovely after the very fresh main pool but expensive really for what you get.

Lovely experience swimming in geothermal and sea temperature pool. Cafe is OK but prepare for long wait! We waited over 30 mins for two black coffees. I'd recorded booking in advance.

5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ for Geo Thermal pool Aqua Aerobics session on Friday. Excellent instructor well worth doing. Change facilities clean and warm pool . A must do ..

Bit of a mad spot - seemed cool, but 99% of ppl not in the pool

Lovely warm geothermal pool only tried the main pool for a minute as it was a bit cold for me but a must try experience.

"Like getting in a hot bath" I am informed, I stayed dry on a bench with a lovely coffee and slice of blueberry cake...followed by a fantastic ham sandwich.

Booked tickets in advance for 2 kids and an adult in the Geothermal Pool and the main pool. The pool is really cool and feels like it's full of history. I would say it's not great for younger kids (under8), unless you're visiting on a day when they have a kids event on. They got bored quite quick, but I didn't see any reason you couldn't bring any inflatables if you planned better. Got to have a quick proper swim and loved that in the cold water. I think that's where it's really tailored.

Fantastic staff, beautiful scenery, great food and drinks, at ok prices. You can even have a swim!

Look lovely definitely going back for a swim

Pool was half closed and we paid day before and no notice to tell us that the pool was half closed pool.was very dirty as well had not been cleaned for awhile

Geo pool is good, but you need to know what you signed up for. Price is really affordable, but no towel supplied and the changing rooms and showers are lacking / not that nice.

To be honest I've not been in the pools, find it hard to book slots in the geothermal pool. However the cafe is great and the deckchairs relaxing

My partner and myself make the jubilee pool our first visit onnevery trip to Cornwall, the staff are fantastic and friendly , facilities are basic but clean and the cafe is well stocked and delicious

Did my first Aquafit session on Thursday 16th May. It was all it was advertised as being. Great fun, great instructor (Mark I think) and the most wonderful setting. Although I was exercising I felt like I was in paradise. I couldn’t recommend it more. ❤️

The hydro pool is lovely and warm Down side no lockers no were to dry and change or leave your things safely you have to put bags by pool and when it rains everything gets wet for the price it is lacking facilities the cafe is nice but personally it is overpriced as you only get an hr for £14:50 with no facilities for holiday makers to leave things a little disappointed shame really as it could be a gold mine run correctly I wouldn't return unless facilities improved

Lovely atmosphere and great facilities

Brilliant experience. 34 degrees. A lovely treat.

Disappointed at half of the pool being roped off and still charged full price. Rude lifeguard who sat with his hoody down over his eyes most of the time. Couldn't keep watch over the weather never mind swimmers. Open the whole pool please

Kicked out all staff (besides managers) for winter, with no warning and no pay whilst they try find a new job elsewhere. Then try and hire a whole new crew suddenly for when they re-open. They also silent fire staff.

The food is great. I live is Devon and go down to Penzance annually to see my friend however I rarely see him down there in the summer so it’s almost always rainy meaning I didn’t get a chance to go in the freezing or the geo-thermal pool but I have been to the cafe and the food is high quality and tasty. Would recommend

Cafe for breakfast, sauted mushrooms, bacon and poached eggs on focaccia, it was delicious?

A really pretty lido which would have been gorgeous on a warm sunny day but unfortunately it was barely 16 degrees and windy despite it being August the day we visited. I looked on longingly at those in the heated part of the pool...! Would love to visit again on a nicer day.

The pools were great fun when we visited during the summer holidays. One grandchild wore a wetsuit and went in the unheated pool with its obstacles while the younger one really enjoyed the thermally heated pool. When we came out we all went to the cafe but the service there was so poor that we eventually left without eating. Perhaps it might be better at less busy times and although it didn’t spoil our day it was disappointing.

Not very warm to be honest. My son, he almost got hypothermia as it was well under 5 degrees. Great customer service 👍, good lifeguards. Took really long to get in.

First class pool and cafe was top notch too

Although the geothermal pool was closed when we got there, the reception and kindness shown by the staff was way above what you might expect..thank you so much. Happy Christmas to everyone there.

Visited for the Lido & Lunch. First time I'd been to the geothermal pool and I definitely didn't pick the best day for it. Pool was cooler than anticipated (likely due to the fairly strong wind and it being December!) but I do feel the cold and my friends enjoyed the whole session after I hopped out early. The food was great and they were generous portions. Staff are friendly and welcoming. Looking forward to going again, maybe on a warmer and less windy day!

acconpanied grandchildren but didnt personnally swim

Went for the once a year doggy swim day and Mojo my black and tan Cocker Spaniel had the best time. He absolutely loved it and we will definitely go again next year. We live locally but aren't people who swim, I can't actually swim and my husband although he can doesn't go much for cold water swimming so we don't use the jubilee pool. However we can highly recommend. Not only is it huge, but it's always got lots going on and it's so clean. The toilets are spotless and there are loads of changing areas too.

Great food, great staff, lovely views.

No lockers for your clothes,only allowed one hour.

A lovely cold pool with no frills

Fantastic full moon swim. Thanks

Loved the pool,cafe, everything about this outdoor lido is totally retro and brilliant..

Glad we managed to book our geothermal pool tickets and this was something I'd wanted to do for ages. The geothermal pool is a one-off experience, went the day after St Agnes Storm and it was nice to sit in the warm water. Left a bit under-whelmed with the feel of the place overall; off-season I was surprised you still would have to pay another £6+ for a quick dip in the un-heated pool, on top of the £12+ for the geothermal pool. Love that I've been and seen this unique Art Deco construction, but it feels run down and a bit sad generally.

We didn't swim, the pools looked lovely as well as clean. We just had a drink, I waited for 9 minutes,and I was in front of the queue with no one ahead of me to order 2 drinks that just needed to be poured, waited a further 4 minutes after paying and placing my order to receive it. The views are lovely and it's a lovely place to sit in nice weather, would be better if the cage was not under staffed and was run more efficiently.

Nice place, nice staff. However, I ordered 2 coffees, a bacon roll, and a sausage and bacon roll. Was charged £22.30, I thought it might be brilliant at that rate, however latte coffees the smallest I have ever seen, (size of tiny tea cup) added to, they weren't full and had about 30% foam. About half of a half pint glass of actual coffee at best. what there was was quite nice. The rolls turned up in about 10 minutes, obviously after 3 sips of coffee, they were empty. And order was wrong, one sausage and one sausage and bacon. both in a small roll [the sort you get 6 for a quid in a supermarket], Sausage tasted average, again seemed to be low meat content. Outrageously expensive for what it is, I would have ordered another couple of coffees, but I only went out with thirty pounds. I wasn't sure if I had enough money. this would have probably been under tenner in most cafes. Nice people, nice setting, but total rip off.

Lovely place. A one off. Recommend.

Always very nice to eat and drink here. The staff are friendly and it's relaxing to overlook the pool whilst you enjoy some great homemade food. Plenty of space inside or out and service is usually pretty quick.

Absolutely loved this. The heated pool is superb in any weather. The cold pool is not for the faint hearted by any stretch, but still fun none the less. Well worth a visit. Great on site cafe too.

Great pool.and facilities. Staff are helpful and friendly 😊

The cafe was lovely. Friendly staff. Lovely breakfast. Good service

Great aqua aerobics again with mark , always different and fun good around fun and feel good after

A cold swim (water 16°) followed by a dip in the geothermal pool. Lunch in the café afterwards. Excellent food (burger and chips was delicious) and genuinely lovely staff 😊

Had lunch here and a cheeky glass of wine. Swam in the heated end of the pool. Busy place with good atmosphere, pleasant staff with table service. Would recommend highly as place to go when visiting Penzance

This is just a review on the cafe and not the pool. We didn’t have time for a swim but will for future visits. The food was decent but nothing to write home about, a little bland for our taste. The coffee was also good but not great. They have limited seating inside, we arrived later in the day so we sat outside which has a very nice view. The service was good but slow and not terribly friendly or warm. A table that arrived well after us was served much quicker and we almost ordered the same thing as them. We wouldn’t go out of our way to eat here again but if we took a swim we may grab a cake and coffee to go afterwards.

34.4C in the geothermal pool in open air in the rain! Quite surreal but enjoyable. Autumnal chill offset by warming comfort of the pool. Wonderful that the local community took this on and stumped up to make it happen. Go and support them....

Wunderbarer, unbeheizter Meerwasser-Pool aus den 1930ern mit kleinem Thermalbad (einzeln zu buchen). Beide abwechselnd ist besonders erfrischend. Separat ein hübsches Café mit tollem Blick und leckrem Essen. Unbedingt empfehlenswert!

Great pools, reasonable price for entry. A perfect way to enjoy the sea without dealing with sand, fab on a hot day and with kids. Lovely family atmosphere

I enjoyed the experience personally as the weather was quite chilly that time and the water felt like a balm. I believe that it'd be nice as well during the summer. The water's not too hot as to be scalding. The process of using the facilities is quite clear as well. I do think that it needs a little bit of refurbishing. The place ia clean and well meaintained albeit looking a little bit run down. It would also be nice if they rent out some towels that guests can use and provide a locker for days when it's rainy and you fancy a soak.

We visited the pool on Saturday for a birthday and afterwards got iced coffees; hot chocolate and chocolate brownies. Was lush, would highly recommend.

First time I've been to a lido wasn't expecting much but this place is very big and the main pool is very deep 2.5m in the deep end, the water temperature was perfect, you can't go there and not experience cold water it does wonders to your body, will definitely be returning in the future.

Fantastic experience and really enjoyed the day. Well organised and cold pool is fantastic. Great food and drinks in the cafe with friendly staff. Well worth a visit.

Schönes Cafe mit Terasse und Blick auf den Pool

Well worth the money.geo pool is great.fioated around for 55 minutes and just chilled out.

Nice and unmistakable landmark.

Waitress very friendly and helpful but said diet coke on menu but got given cheap karma cola 250ml £2.30 . Rip off for quality of goods shame could be a lovely place to go more often.

Beautiful pool with nice cafe and pleasant friendly staff

What a lovely experience at the geo pool, cafe was lovely, will definitely have a return visit.

Brilliant, Geothermal pool @34.4c, going back very soon.

Enjoyed. The. Swim. In. The pool. Today. Me. And. The. Wife

If you are in that part of Cornwall, the jubilee Pool is pretty cool especially the thermal pool. Really chilled and the teens loved it too!! The main pool is a sectioned off portion of the sea so super freezing but still really good fun!
