Inspired by Virginia Woolf's essay on liberty, we’re uncovering a world where the pursuit of personal space goes beyond four walls – not a room of one’s own, but a pool of one’s own. You’ll find them in the real Hundred Acre Wood, close to the Cornish village that A-listers love, and high on the Jurassic Coast; all proof that you needn’t travel past Britain's borders to lounge by the waters’ edge.

Castle India
|
Cornwall | Sleeps 18
|
| |
|
Think Mother Earth meets easy pool day, where swimmers sun-dry on wild lawns and the rest dangle their feet in the water with gin and tonics in hand. This is life at Castle India, the estate that's more Madhya Pradesh than Cornwall.

The Palladian

The Cotswolds | Sleeps 12
|

A palatial manor that’s one of the best-kept summer secrets on Gloucestershire's pool scene, The Palladian has a hint of Mr Bingley, a splash of cottagecore, and a heated courtyard pool that brings all the hedonists to the yard.

Roserai
|
East Sussex | Sleeps 8
|
| |
|
A former oast house with acres of Provençal country appeal, Roserai is the kind of country estate one never wishes to leave, with a heated lawn pool, a private lake, and grounds that are part prim landscape, part secret gardens.
