Large Holiday Cottages with Private Pools

Many of us will likely have gotten used to enjoying a good swim while on holiday, whether from the beach or in a holiday cottage with a private pool in its sun-drenched garden.

Come to the onset of shorter days with the arrival of autumn and winter, there’s no reason to assume that all thoughts of swimming on holiday must be put aside until next summer. There are plenty of holiday cottages with private indoor pools all over the UK.

Why not plan a weekend break with friends or another family to chase away the winter blues by booking a large holiday cottage with a private indoor pool?

We’ve selected our favourite top ten holiday homes that offer exclusive use of an indoor heated pool for large groups of 10 or more guests. Many are in areas nicely suited for walking holidays, making the prospect of a weekend away a healthy one—and who cares about the weather?

From remote corners of the UK in the Highlands of Scotland and The Gower Peninsula to West Country cottages in Devon and Cornwall (where walks along deserted beaches can be added to the plan), consider one of these cottages for a luxury out-of-season holiday where you can make a bit of a splash with friends and family.
