Glyndley Manor Swimming Pool

We are pleased to offer the use of the pool to those staying on the Glyndley estate during the summer months. Make sure you familiarise yourself with the Regulation section when using the swimming pool, for the safety of all.

Access to the pool is ONLY via the front door of the Manor House.

Please bring your cottage’s key fob to gain access to the pool.

Access will be refused if you do not show the key/fob. (Facilities are only for Glyndley Manor Cottages guests.)

Safety Measures:

Take care – swimming pools are hazardous; water presents a risk of drowning; injuries can come from hitting hard surfaces and misuse of equipment. Never swim after a heavy meal; avoid holding your breath for long periods; take special care if you suffer from medical conditions such as epilepsy, asthma, diabetes, or heart condition. Make sure you know how deep the water is; do not run or perform acrobatics; do not shout except in real emergencies. Keep an eye open for others, particularly children; get help immediately if someone is in difficulty.

Thank you for your co-operation.

The Estate

We have lovely green spaces around the cottages. You can hear bird songs and see squirrels playing on the grounds. There are two public footpaths at the far end of the cottages, leading you over farmers’ fields, these lead you to Hank Ham, Hailsham, or to Polegate. The cuckoo trail is close by, a walk and cycle trail along the old disused railway line that extends for 14 miles through the Sussex countryside. A map is displayed in the Information centre.

There are many paths, woodlands, gardens, and open spaces to enjoy within the 17-acre estate.
Within the grounds of the estate, guests can enjoy the lovely lake and beautiful woodland which is home to some of England’s most unique birdlife – guaranteed to provide a memorable time of discovery and relaxation. Our playground is perfectly located in close reach of the Information Centre and invites children of all ages to have fun.
