The Indoor Pool

Heated. Indoors.
Open at Any Hour.

An 11-metre heated indoor pool, shared only between Fig Tree and Laurel and never open to the public.

Heated indoor pools are rare among North Wales cottages. One shared by just two, open any hour and never to the public - rarer still.

Heated year-round to 28-29°C, with a constant 1.5m depth, it's just thirty seconds from your door. Whatever the weather, it's always ready.

Year-Round

Whatever the day brings

When the forecast says rain.

In most cottages, a wet afternoon means a change of plan. Here, it can mean a family swim instead. The pool gives you somewhere to go without going anywhere and the weather stops mattering quite so much.

After a day on the hills.

You’ve done the ridge. Back before dinner, legs tired in the good way. The pool is thirty seconds from your door, with no drive, no booking a slot and no leisure-centre crowds.

Three generations, one holiday.

Different ages, different energy levels, one shared space. The pool makes multi-generational holidays here effortless, whatever the age range.

“Having a private pool in such a tranquil setting made it feel incredibly special.”

The things guests most often want to know before booking.

View all FAQs →

Who can use the pool?

The pool is exclusively for guests staying at Fig Tree and Laurel. It is never open to the public and is not shared with any other property. On a typical week, that means a maximum of nine guests have access to it – and often fewer.

Can day visitors use the pool?

No. The pool is available only to guests who are staying overnight at Fig Tree or Laurel. Day visitors are not permitted to use the pool or hot tubs.

What are the pool's opening hours?

The pool is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week throughout your stay. There are no session times, no booking slots, and no closing time. Swim when it suits you.

Is the pool open in winter?

Yes. The pool is heated and available year-round, regardless of weather or season. This is one of the reasons guests tell us it transforms a North Wales holiday – a grey January afternoon looks entirely different when there’s a warm pool thirty seconds from your door.

Is the pool suitable for young children?

Yes, though there are a few things to be aware of. The pool is unsupervised, so all children under 16 must be accompanied by a responsible adult at all times. Because the depth is a constant 1.5m throughout, non-swimmers and young children will need adult support in the water. Infants and toddlers must wear aqua nappies.

Entry to the water is via a pool ladder with handrails (four steps). There is no hoist or level-entry access.
