Hotel with indoor pool?

[Squelchsquerch]

Looking for somewhere within couple of hour drive from London with a decent indoor pool where we can swim everyday with the view to my 4 year old becoming more confident at swimming. Not a big busy pool like at centerparcs. Recommendations please.

I'm pretty sure Bedford Lodge in Newmarket has one, never stayed though.

I joined David Lloyd when my little one was this age (I'm sure he was free up to a certain age) and we went every day they have such lovely warm indoor pools he learnt to swim like a fish just from us going everyday and there was a nice play area where we could have a coffee and read the free papers and he could play afterwards.

Sadly no David Lloyd near me. I'm jealous.

Hotel or self catered?

Either

Hilton Maidstone has a nice pool and good dinber b and b offers

Lots of spa hotels have pools. Eg the four pillars Tortworth Court. Has lovely breakfast too.

Any of the luxury family spa hotels. Woolley Grange and New Park Manor are both within a few hours of London.

Bailiffscourt in West Sussex. Lovely. But I'm not sure how much they let kids access the pool.

Crowhurst Park Lodges have a good swimming pool and even have a daily swimming lesson activity for young children during term time. Hayling Island also has a large, unbusy indoor pool.

The Warwickshire at Leek Wootton

The pool is useable by children at weekends, it’s 4 foot all through the pool so easy to stand as there is no deep or shallow end

Great view from the pool and December there are likely to be some good deals

To continue the list...Ickworth, Calcot? It really depends on where you are to start and your budget. Some chains (like Hilton and Hallmark) have great offers for Sunday nights if that is an option,

Where in London are you OP?

I am sure you can get some great swimming lessons in most neighbourhoods. 4 year olds won't be great swimmers...they just need to be happy feeling confident/swimming submerged.
