think you meant http://www.brockhole.co.uk/
though brockholes is also very good but about 40 minutes from the lakes near preston - a much better option tan motorway services (right next to j31)

if you visit this site you can buy a discount card that has lots of kids go free vouchers for the above attractions

You must must go to the South Lakes animal Park.
