Large Holiday Cottages with Swimming Pools
Booking a large holiday cottage with a swimming pool gives your group another way to spend time together without having to leave the property. Enjoy a morning swim, keep the children entertained during the day or simply make the most of having a pool on hand throughout your stay.
Swimming pool arrangements vary between properties. Some cottages have private pools for the exclusive use of your group, while others have shared swimming facilities available to guests staying on the same site. You'll also find both indoor and outdoor pools, with some outdoor pools operating seasonally.
Check the individual cottage listing for full details of the swimming pool and its availability during your stay.
Large Cottages for Family Gatherings and Celebrations
Large holiday cottages can be particularly well suited to family gatherings, milestone birthdays, anniversaries and other special occasions. Having everyone staying together makes it easier to spend quality time as a group, while larger communal spaces give you room to eat, relax and socialise.
Some properties also offer additional facilities such as games rooms, hot tubs, tennis courts, gyms and extensive grounds, so there can be plenty to enjoy even when you're not in the pool.

Indoor and Outdoor Swimming Pools
Our collection includes large holiday cottages with both indoor and outdoor swimming pools.
An indoor pool can be particularly useful for holidays outside the summer months, giving you the option to swim whatever the weather. Outdoor pools can be a fantastic addition to a summer holiday, particularly when combined with gardens, terraces and other outdoor space.
If having an indoor pool is important to your group, check the individual cottage details for information about the pool and its availability.
Private and Shared Swimming Pools
Swimming pools at large holiday homes can be either private or shared, so it's worth checking the arrangements before booking.
A private pool is for the exclusive use of your group, while a shared pool is available to guests staying at other cottages on the same site. Both arrangements can work well, depending on the type of holiday you're planning.
If having exclusive use of the swimming pool is particularly important, check the individual property listing carefully before booking.
One Large Holiday Home or Several Cottages?
Large group accommodation can take different forms. Some properties provide one substantial holiday home where everyone stays under the same roof, while others are made up of several cottages on the same site, with shared facilities available to guests.
If you want everyone to stay in one building, check the individual cottage description and photographs carefully before booking. Where several cottages are available together, the owner can advise on how the accommodation and shared facilities are arranged.

Choosing a Large Holiday Cottage with a Swimming Pool
When booking a holiday for a large group, think about more than just the number of guests the property can accommodate.
Check the sleeping arrangements, bedroom configuration and communal areas to make sure everyone will be comfortable. If you're planning to eat together, look at the dining space and kitchen facilities too.
For the swimming pool, check whether it is indoor or outdoor, private or shared, and whether it is available throughout your stay. It's also worth considering the property's other facilities and location to make sure there is something to suit everyone in your group.
You can also look for additional features such as hot tubs, games rooms, dog-friendly facilities and accessible features to help find a property that works for your whole group.
