Great Hotel swimming pool (with slide?) in UK?

[shentodj]

Looking to take a break in mid-Aug in UK.
Looking for a pool, preferably with a slide to keep kids happy.
Don't particularly care where in UK - will consider anything.
Could be Hotel, or holiday park etc. Price not particularly important (within reason).
Best so far that we've been to is The Cameron House (Loch Lomond) which has a lovely pool with a proper slide.
Anyone got any recommendations?
Could stretch to Northern Europe for right place.
DO NOT WANT CENTRE-PARCS.

Thanks in advance for your recommendations,
Shentodj

I could be wrong but I think the De Vere in Southampton has a big old slide.

Thanks for reply, but stayed there last Aug (for Cowes week, just over on the ferry) and used the pool. There was no slide.

Thanks anyway,

Ah well. Must be confused.

How about a hotel near a waterpark?

The manor house hotel, Oakhampton.

Cameron house is very nice, stayed there earlier this year, but minus the kids.

Creiff Hydro is very good and very family orientated.

Not quite the same class as Cameron house, but not a millions miles away and the kids would love it.

They have an inflatable slide in the main pool which is brought out at certain times of the day, plus an adults only spa area.

There is also loads of other stuff to keep you and the kids entertained such as segways, horse riding, high climbing, laser quest, golf, cinema, mountain biking and a huge bonus of 6 hours of child care included per day.

Edited to add, it's also in a lovely part of the country.

Thanks for suggestions so far.
We stayed a few nights at Crieff Hydro on the same holiday that included Cameron House. I agree its very kid-friendly and my son enjoyed the Quad Biking (got very muddy!).

Keep the suggestions coming!

Thanks again,

man, is there a hotel with a slide you've not been to?
You've checked off every one we've listed I think

Butlins.

We've been to Butlins Bognor twice for long weekends, self catering. It's fabulous.

Added bonus is your work colleagues going all sniffy and " . . . we go to CenterParcs" when you tell them what a great time you, o/h, and three year old had!

[shentodj]

Been to Butlins in Bognor a couple of times.
I agree the pool is good fun - except for the stairs up to the slides which got very cold and drafty in bad weather.

Keep the suggestions coming please!

Thanks,
Shentodj
