FAQs on Large Holiday Homes with Swimming Pools in the UK

Are all of the large holiday home swimming pools heated?

A lot of the swimming pools at our holiday homes are heated but this will vary between properties, so it’s always worth reading the property description carefully or asking one of our Accommodation Specialists to check this detail if you’re specifically seeking a heated pool.

Are all of the swimming pools exclusive to my holiday group?

In most of our large holiday homes you will have complete privacy and exclusive access to the swimming pool during your stay. We do have some properties on our site that are part of an estate of holiday homes and may have shared access to a swimming pool that guests from any of the homes can use. At the time of writing, all the houses featured in this blog have private swimming pools.

Are the swimming pools available to use all year-round at the holiday homes?

The answer to this question will vary between houses. In some cases, our properties with indoor pools will be available to use throughout the year. Some of the properties with outdoor swimming pools may be temporarily closed during the winter months. Please check with us when you enquire about one of our large holiday homes with swimming pools and we will confirm this for you.

Are there additional costs for large holiday homes with swimming pools in the UK?

The total cost for the property you enquire for with swimming pool access will be outlined after your initial enquiry. For most of the holiday homes featured in this article, the cost is already included. Large holiday homes with swimming pools will tend to be more expensive than regular houses without this luxury facility, simply because of the upkeep of the heating and cleaning of the pool. But that doesn’t mean that they are extremely affordable for large groups that split the cost between all guests.
