A
Here are some family-friendly hotels in England.
Another Place, The Lake
Ullswater, Lake District
Another Place is aimed primarily at families and younger adults. The 20-metre glass-fronted indoor pool has children’s swimming times. Older children can enjoy water sports on the lake including stand-up paddle-boarding and wild swimming. There’s a fully equipped Kids’ Zone for all ages, from babies to teenagers.
From £165 per night
Augill Castle
Kirkby Stephen, Cumbria
With the features of a castle but in miniature (小型的), Augill Castle appeals equally to children and adults, and you’d be hard-pressed to find a more family-friendly castle, with a tree house, playground and tennis court in its 15-acre grounds, and inside, a 12-seater cinema, not to mention the popular children’s cookery school.
From £180 per night
Slaley Hall
Hexham, Northumberland
This country hotel, wrapped in woodland and golf courses, is modern in feel. You will not be bored here — take your pick from a range of facilities, including golfing, woodland walks, a gym and an indoor pool. Children can stay in their parents’room for free, but there is a 50 per cent charge if they sleep in an interconnecting room. For decent pub food, the Claret Jug is a family- friendly sports bar.
From £89 per night
Rockli ffe Hall
Hurworth-on-Tees, Durham
Rockliffe Hall is a five-star hotel that also welcomes children. There are generous dedicated (專用的) times at the swimming pool for children. Look out for the Alice in Wonderland- themed play cabins (小木屋). The parkland, called “A Wonderland of Curiosities”, will include a nature path, an adventure playground, and a beautiful new glasshouse hosting tea parties.
