Cumbria | Family Friendly Hotels - Child Friendly Hotels

After undergoing an extensive refurbishment the The Wild Boar now offers individually designed rooms with some different features such as log fires and iPod docking stations, and still continues to provide the same quality guest experience for which it has built a fine reputation.

Children of all ages are particularly welcome at The Wild Boar, with a range of activities right on our doorstep. The Wild Boar’s 72 acres of private woodland are perfect for anything from a gentle stroll to adventure trails, and also offer a range of organised activities, such as archery and clay pigeon shooting for older children and adults.

We have a children’s club to join called Sam’s Club. Sam is a big cuddly dog who has entertained kids of all ages at English Lakes Hotels, Resorts and Venues for many years. Every child receives a goody bag when they arrive and can choose from Sam’s special menus in the restaurant.

As well as excellent walks, woodland fun, fabulous nearby attractions and the great outdoors of the Lake District, enjoy free access for all the family at Low Wood Bay Leisure Club with regular splash times in a large family pool.

With all this and more on offer, our aim is to make sure your holiday is one you won’t forget in a hurry.

Our family hostels offer you all the facilities you’ll need to make your stay relaxing and comfortable, like private rooms, high chairs, baby monitors, grounds to run and play in and activities to keep the kids entertained for hours. We’ve also teamed up with some of the best-loved family attractions including Alton Towers, Sea Life Centres and the Eden Project, to offer you fantastic discounted rates.

We can even make meal times easier! You can choose to self-cater in our dedicated kitchens, or take advantage of our ‘Kids under 10 eat for FREE’ offer and treat yourself to a delicious home-cooked meal from our fabulous menu instead. Accompany your meal with a glass, or bottle, of your favourite beverage chosen from our drinks menu, including local ales, soft drinks, beers, wine, spirits, teas and Fair Trade coffee.

Simon & Wendy Bennett understand what makes a truly child friendly place to stay because for their children, Oliver, eight & Emily, six, the castle is home.

Parents have the chance to relax and enjoy their surroundings in relative peace as young visitors to Augill are often adopted by the Bennett's children as special friends and are whisked off to the playroom (in the Drawing Room), the playground or to explore acres of safe family friendly (no barbed wire) acres. Once the fresh air has tired them out there is an extensive library of videos and DVDs, a games room, toys for all ages and a whole castle complete with towers and turrets to explore.

Most bedrooms are big enough to comfortably take two extra beds, all the bathrooms are big, some are enormous and there are catered and self catering options with both adult and children's dietary whims accommodated.

• Truly family-friendly. No out of bounds
• Spacious & flexible accommodation
• Special meal times and menus
• Indoor & outdoor activities for all ages
• No sweaty play zone in the cellar!
• Great for larger family groups
