Where they are
Just want a good pool?
Family hotels with pools by cityFor a night or two in a city, a hotel pool with long children's swim times is often the easier option. We compare those city by city.
Parents ask
Are there any hotels with water parks in the UK?
Only a handful. Splash Landings is a hotel with its own water park. The rest are holiday resorts and lodge parks, such as Butlin's Minehead, Macdonald Aviemore, Butlin's Bognor and Butlin's Skegness. Most UK hotels have a single swimming pool instead.
Is the water park included in the price?
At Butlin's Minehead, Macdonald Aviemore, Butlin's Bognor, Butlin's Skegness, Ribby Hall, Bluestone, Elveden Forest, Longleat Forest, Sherwood Forest, Whinfell Forest and Woburn Forest the water park is included with a stay. At Splash Landings, waterpark tickets are not included in an Alton Towers short break; guests add them when booking. The hotel page describes the waterpark as ticketed access. Prices are not published on the pages checked.
What about Center Parcs?
Each Center Parcs village has a Subtropical Swimming Paradise with slides, rapids and a wave pool, included in your break. You stay in lodges rather than a hotel, apart from a small number of hotel-style rooms at some villages.
Do I need a hotel with a water park, or will a pool do?
For toddlers and younger children, a hotel with a kids' pool and long children's swim times is often easier and cheaper. Water parks suit older children who want slides.
