Luxury holiday homes with pools in Devon
Morning laps or midnight dips, playful cannonballs or graceful butterfly strokes – nothing says “holiday” quite like a private, heated swimming pool at your luxury Devon cottage.
Escape the city’s fevered heat and retreat to rural Devon, where a luxury holiday home with a pool awaits. While children splash the day away, you might find yourself melting into a poolside lounger beneath a swaying palm, book in hand and nothing on the agenda save perhaps a forage through the kitchen. Our large Devon homes with pools epitomise family-friendly breaks, where everyone is encouraged to dive headfirst into holiday mode.
No need to venture to the Aegean for your own private oasis. In Devon, you can take in sweeping views of the River Dart from the comfort of a heated pool, or sip cocktails at sundown amid the Totnes hinterlands. Conventional rules fade away here – even moonlit skinny dipping is welcomed in these secluded spots. So, will it be coastal splendour or countryside serenity? A therapeutic winter swim for or summer’s refreshing embrace?
