Don’t miss out – New Forest cottages with swimming pools book quickly!
It may be nippy now, but the temperature will soon climb, along with sunnier skies and longer days. Whether you’re with family, friends or on a romantic break with a loved one, having a private swimming pool in the garden is the ultimate holiday luxury.
You aren’t curtailed to specific times you can use it, and there are no worries if the children are splashing about having endless hours of fun whilst you laze and relax. And imagine…if you fancy a dip under the stars, there’s no one to tell you that you can’t.
And with the uncertainty of Brexit’s potentially miserable experience at border control and higher exchange rates, play it safe and book a luxury staycation in a gorgeous UK holiday cottage instead.
There’s so much to see and do in the New Forest, plus a stacked calendar of events and day trips, you’ll be covered whatever the weather. Dive into our collection of New Forest holiday cottages with private pools below and you may just find your dream holiday pad.
