For those who don’t fancy a wild swim (or paddle) in Lake Windermere, just head feet first into our 17-metre indoor heated pool. The Lakeside is the perfect place to unplug, unwind, and recharge, especially with kids in tow. Enjoy a gentle swim or get your lengths in, the pool is child friendly and the perfect place to burn off some energy on a rainy Lake District day.
