Holiday cottages with a swimming pool UK

A swimming pool with a holiday cottage is the number one choice of facility; everyone likes the idea of a swim during their break.  An outdoor heated pool is especially nice in good weather. These usually operate during the warmer months of the year, from May until September. Outwith the summer months, an indoor pool is the only option for UK holidays.

A swimming pool is among the facilities found at Sheplagh Court near Dartmouth and the Colmer Estate in Devon. Both of these have a swimming pool in the grounds plus tennis court and games rooms. There are many other similar family and luxurious holiday cottage complexes.

In England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales, there are plenty of self-catering cottages and pine lodges that have a shared communal swimming pool, or even two, for guests. These larger holiday complexes have sufficient clientele to warrant the cost of running a pool.

Individual independent holiday homes may also have a private swimming pool; this inevitably comes at a higher cost and tends to be associated with large cottages that sleep over ten people.

It is the height of luxury to rent a large cottage or villa with its own pool just for your family's use, as and when they feel like it on holiday.

 Groups of adults celebrating a stag or hen event also find this type of selfcatering cottage with a pool and perhaps a sauna and jacuzzi highly desirable for a weekend break.  Notwithstanding the higher price of this type of accommodation, demand is always high.

Excluding school holidays, cottages with indoor swimming pools are popular for Christmas and New Year when families meet up to celebrate. Good leisure facilities add to the general entertainment for guests and keep the children readily occupied.

 Most of us are familiar with the concept of the villa abroad with a swimming pool, perhaps because so many people's notion of a relaxing holiday is to sunbathe around a pool with the occasional dip to cool down. A cottage in the UK with a swimming pool available at least some of the time can be equally enjoyable. The larger swimming pools in holiday parks may also offer a solarium where people can relax on sun beds around the pool. This may be a convenient spot from which to watch the children as they swim, read a book and unwind. It's what holidays are all about.
