UK hotel with big indoor pool / mini water park?

[Sausagis]

Hello, I'm looking for a hotel with an indoor pool with some slides, and maybe a lazy river? Something a bit "extra" rather than just a pool. Does anyone know of any? Ideally south of England, but will consider anything. Not really looking for Centre Parcs, more a hotel. DC are teen/pre-teen.

Was looking at Merton in Jersey but am being put off by the extra pcr test to get there (1 dc has a total breakdown at them, doesn't seem fair to inflict more on them).

Thanks 😊

Alton Towers although I think teens would be bored of the pool after a few hours but then you do have the rides. Or Blackpool the Big Blue Hotel is pretty much opposite the water park.

Butlins can pay for a food package if you don’t want to cook. Manor House and ashbury is great but the slides are only open 2 hours a day (supervised by staff) but loads of other activities to do on site. We’ve just come back from there.

Presumably you have ruled out Europe, if you think Jersey's entry requirements are harsh?

It is probably a bit of a trek, but Bluestone has a great pool area.

It's not a hotel but alpamare in Scarborough is really good. You could get a Scarborough hotel and tickets for there. Food was a bit crap when we went but the pools themselves are great. You need someone strong to carry the inflatables up the stairs though

Thanks all, looking through them all. Bluestone looks awesome!

Madcats - yes, I wasn't looking at Europe. It's not that I think jerseys too harsh - totally justifiable for them - just that one dc has sensory problems and finds the pcr tests incredibly hard (extremely incredibly hard).

Jersey is lovely. Unvaccinated DD was able to do a home PCR (when we visited back in July) to avoid airport testing/ isolating until results came through.

Bluestone used to be very reasonably priced, but I imagine prices have shot up.

There are some great looking water parks in this listing if you were able to find suitable accommodation nearby:
