Why Choose a Holiday Cottage with a Swimming Pool?

  • A holiday cottage with a swimming pool offers a private and enjoyable space for relaxation and recreation, allowing guests to swim and unwind without the crowds or constraints of public pools.
  • Having access to a swimming pool at a self-catering cottage promotes health and wellness, enabling guests to stay active and refreshed throughout their stay.
  • The convenience of having a pool on-site eliminates the need to travel to a separate swimming facility, saving time and effort for other enjoyable activities.
  • A swimming pool adds an extra layer of luxury to the holiday, enhancing the overall experience and creating a memorable break for guests.
  • The pool provides a central gathering spot for fun and bonding, making it an ideal feature for families or groups looking to create shared experiences and enjoyment during their stay. Summer invites you to relax on a sun lounger on the waterside terrace or engage in energetic laps to burn away the calories from poolside BBQs.

 

What Do I Consider When Staying at a Holiday Home with a Swimming Pool?

 

  • Ask the owners about provisions such as pool towels and accessories like buoyancy aids, water wings, noodles, or airbeds, avoiding unnecessary packing. It’s a handy way to avoid lugging unnecessary gear and who needs a swimming pool noodle poking them on the way to the holiday destination?!
  • Winter transforms those homes with indoor heated pools into perfect havens for activity and relaxation. Verify with the owner whether their holiday cottage grants exclusive/private or communal/shared access to a pool. Clarify details before arrival. Check if the pool access is private or shared—larger properties with shared pools can be great for kids to make new friends!
  • Remember to pack your pool essentials. Don’t forget to bring your swimwear, flip-flops and sun cream.
  • While owners strive to keep their facilities open as long as possible, note that outdoor pools in the UK, even when heated, are typically unavailable year-round. Outdoor pools, even heated ones, aren’t usually open year-round in the UK. Make sure to confirm with the owner that the pool will be available during your stay before booking!
  • Ensure the pool is suitable for everyone in your group, especially if you have elderly guests or young children. Check if the pool has Roman Steps or if you’ll need help getting in and out. If you have kids, confirm there are safety measures like secure fencing. And don’t forget to ask about any pool rules to keep everyone safe and having fun!
