Holiday cottages with private swimming pools soon sell out, so dive in to see our collection and book as soon as you can.
While you may pay a little more for a cottage with a swimming pool, remember it will be a super popular perk of your holiday – especially if you are bringing children, and that includes teenagers as well. We also have cottages with lots to keep everyone entertained, with games rooms, tree houses, swings, slides, zip wire and lake with a rowboat, cottages with adventure climbing frames, cottages a short stroll to the beach, even cottages with their own private beach.
Whatever the weather, a cottage with a swimming pool will provide hours of fun, and as you won’t be sharing it, there won’t be anyone to spoil your fun. Get up early and do a few lengths before breakfast, have the kids entertained with minimal effort and enjoy a quiet swim under the stars late at night.
