unpredictable and even if hotels have them, they are often closed because in
the UK you MUST have a lifeguard present and often if only one or two want
to use the outdoor pool, its too expensive for a hotel to employ someone to
do it.

However I suggest the Devere Hotel group is a good starter, especially if
you have kids (http://www.devereonline.co.uk/default.htm). They are a
premier 4/5 star group and all of their larger hotels are set up for
leisure.

I have been to Belton Woods and it has just about everything and LOADS of
activities included or arrangeable including (I think without checking the
web site to get an up to date list) Horse riding, Archery, Golf ( they have
a championship golf course), Quad Bikes (or go-karts can't remember), a
Nature Trail, playground etc. Also have a nice large indoor pool, gym etc
etc. However find a Devere that fits where you want to go.

They often have very good deals on (compared to normal prices) if you book
certain times, dates etc. Of course they also own "the Belfry".

Hope this helps.
