UK holiday park with a truly warm pool?

After another week of cursing the bloody freezing pool on holiday (dc are too young to go in alone) does anyone have a recommendation for a holiday park with a genuinely warm pool? Not a "fien once you're used to it" one, a bath water warm one?

CenterParcs used to be lovely with quite tropical temperatures in the swim zone (though their prices are also high during school holidays). The Dutch equivalents are supposed to be much cheaper even after factoring in travel - hopefully someone on Mumsnet knows about their swimming pools.

The outdoor one in Parkdean caravan park in Great Yarmouth was really warm, like a bath. It was my first Parkdean so that not sure if its standard.

Center Parcs pools are lovely and warm

Definitely CP, they're over 30 degrees but more importantly, the air in the swimming pool is tropical - if anything it's too warm! The European ones are fab and really reasonably priced

Parkdean Newquay Holiday Park, two outdoor pools, one cold and one like a bath (also has a water slide). Been two years running and it was the same so not just a lucky one off. It’s quite a nice park too, plenty for the kids.

We were at Center Parcs Elveden 2 weeks ago and the pool was definitely not warm! It was ok once you were used to it but definitely cold going in and we didn’t stay in as long as we used to.

Yeah we went to CP in the Lake District this spring and the pool was not warm. Even the kids/baby one was borderline.

Searles in Hunstanton, North Norfolk, has two lovely warm pools (and a third of an acceptable temperature).

Talacre beach the pool is lovely and warm there. It's only a small holiday park though so the pool isn't massive.

Potters Resort in Norfolk was lovely this last week!

I would also say Searles leisure resort in Hunstanton. We were there 2 weeks ago and the outdoor pool was wonderful. It was heated, so once you were in it felt like you were abroad! It was also reasonably priced!

Park Dean pools are usually very warm & Butlins
