Editor's note
The Old Clare Hotel features a heated rooftop lap pool, providing a space for exercise. The industrial-chic aesthetic extends to the rooftop, though some consider the area to be in need of maintenance. Its location offers views, but it is exposed to the hotel's bar and dining areas, and consistently in the shade.
We are still confirming these pool details. Treat them as provisional. Booking links may earn us a commission; they never influence the ranking order.
What guests say about the pool
In their own words
The pool is fine for laps but very exposed to diners/drinkers and consistently in the shade.
