Luxury cottages with pools
There’s little better than floating in cool water under the summer sun or taking a twilight plunge with your partner as you count the colours in the sky. From natural swimming ponds to geothermal subterranean pools, our luxury cottages with pools offer a way to unwind and reconnect with nature.
You needn’t venture beyond the UK for sunrise swims and moonlit skinny dips. Escape the heat of the city to take a refreshing plunge among Cotswold wildflowers or enjoy waterside sundowners in Cornwall. As younger members of the family glide past on inflatables, you can sit back with a good book and let the world dissolve behind well-thumbed pages. When frost glazes the landscape in winter, try a dose of mood-boosting hydrotherapy as you step into the enveloping warmth of a heated pool after a sea dip, hidden away in a secret garden.
From an outdoor swimming pool nestled in a Hampshire orchard to a spa-like escape in West Sussex, where a lavish indoor pool offers year-round relaxation, our collection of luxury cottages with pools redefines restful escapes. In Cornwall, an architect-designed hideaway features a natural swimming pond, its crystal-clear waters purified by aquatic plants that sustain the ecosystem’s delicate balance. These homes offer the chance to dive into a moment of peace, where the water provides not only a refreshing swim, but a chance to disconnect.
