This enormous spa hotel is nearly 150 years old, but apart from its monumental exterior it looks very different from its mannered Victorian past. It's attractively functional and really does have everything for a family holiday, from cinema and gym to restaurants, activities and pools. It's exceptionally child friendly, with free daily childcare.
Room rates vary substantially, so check the website. There are also self-catering cottages dotted around the extensive grounds offering a quieter stay in a cosier, more couple-focused environment (and you can still access all the leisure facilities at the hotel).
