"The customer service is above and beyond; they literally couldn’t do any more for me as a regular hirer. The staff both behind the scenes, on the front desk and in the cafe are all friendly and helpful, making my weekly visits a pleasure (often indulging in a coffee and cake before or after too). The facilities are modern and clean, and I love having the Beacon as one of my venues. A* facility and venue!" – Lee-Anne, Music Bugs Oxford
"The staff at The Beacon are friendly and professional at all times and I am very happy indeed with this venue." – Jennifer, Over 60s Exercise Class
