Questions

Are castle hotel pools indoor or outdoor?

Most are indoor, housed in a leisure wing added to the castle in recent decades. A few estates have an outdoor pool used in summer only. Opening hours for children are often restricted to certain times of day, so check the rules for families before you book.
