We have a selection of games, 6 acres of grounds to explore and an indoor heated pool. With advance notice we can provide cots and provide a babysitting service for GBP 6 per hour. As part of our continuous improvement plan at Lindeth Howe, from the beginning of May, we are commencing a process of painting the outside of the hotel. It is a major task but absolutely essential to protect walls and woodwork against the weather. Work of this nature is totally weather-dependent and we are not able to accurately judge when it will be finished. What we have agreed with the contractors is that the building will not be totally shrouded in scaffolding. It will be erected in small stages and will not impede views from the hotel rooms. Also, work will not commence early in the day and will not be intrusive. I do hope you will bear with us whilst we complete these works and that it in no way reduces the enjoyment of your stay with us.
