Childcare
The OFSTED-registered Time Out Clubs for children aged 3 months to 7 years run sessions supervised by qualified nursery nurses. Each session lasts for three hours so you have enough time to pamper yourself at the Aqua Sana spa or sample a new activity or sport. Babysitting is available for a reasonable hourly fee; it must be booked in advance. Childcare is available in 2hr sessions, again for an additional fee. There are nappy-changing facilities throughout the resort. Price
Prices vary according to the standard of accommodation and the time of year. A 4-day midweek break in November can start at £199 for a two-bedroom Comfort Villa. A two-bedroom Executive Lodge recently extensively re-designed is available from £649 during the summer holidays. Prices naturally increase during school holidays and for more exclusive accommodation types. Accommodation
718 lodges and 79 apartments, including 'Penthouse Apartments' for special breaks. Facilities
The Subtropical Swimming Paradise is a key attraction. There's also more than 100 indoor and outdoor activities for kids and parents. Location
On the edge of the Lake District, a short drive from Penrith in Cumbria.
