House rentals with a pool

Barn, heated pool, stabling, farm
Fantastic stay at Ema-Louise’s Beautiful home. We felt instantly relaxed the moment we arrived. We celebrated my mum’s 60th Birthday and we had such a lovely time. The weather was good to us so we also got to spend time in the pool. The host was so lovely and made us all feel most welcome. The highlight of our stay was Rosie the pointer & Rocky the Chihuahua and all the horses. Was like a home away from home and we would love to come back! Thank you again for a wonderful stay ❤️

Homely 3 bedroomed caravan on Mersea Island, Essex
Van is in one of the best spots for views and privacy. Very comfortable with everything you need close by. Another fab stay.

Spacious Country Home - Hot Tub and Seasonal Pool
Laura’s house is beautiful, it’s very private and the pool is fantastic. The house is cosy and spotless clean. The area is also quite nice, and there’s also a pub walking distance.

beachside house with uninterrupted Sea views
Beautiful place, excellent facilities and clean. Antonina was brilliant, responsive and a lovely host. Would definitely recommend. It was perfect for our big family gathering and plenty for the kids to play with in the kids room! All in all, wonderful trip! Thank you so much for having us!

Writer's Cottage at Shore Hall
Spent a lovely few days, we had planned to go out and about but we the grounds were so lovely we didn't need to. Lara was always available if we needed but we were left to ourselves to relax and enjoy the cottage and grounds. My kids want to go back already!

Bear House, Nayland, Suffolk
We enjoyed a relaxing weekend at Bear House. Marcus is a fantastic host, replying promptly and helping whenever we had questions. His house and gardens are spectacular and we loved our swim in his natural swimming pool. Nayland village is beautiful. We enjoyed a short walk along the river spotting a heron, several varieties of poppy and admiring the riverside houses on the way to the Anchor pub. We also enjoyed brunch at the old mill and a meal at the Angel, which is 5 minutes’ drive away in Stoke-by-Nayland.

Private, two bed accommodation in medieval house
Patsie’s accommodation is unique and second to none. In the center of the delightful village of Nayland, facing the church spire and clock, surrounded by scenic footpaths.

Skyfall
Great place with stunning views. Really well set up and Lee super accommodating in general.

The Old Steam Mill, Luxury in a beautiful location
We had a wonderful weekend at the old steam mill. Photos don’t do it justice - it’s even more spacious and beautiful in real life! Very comfortable and quiet, the hosts Mark and Celina accommodated us at very short notice and were lovely and responsive when needed. The garden was perfect to enjoy a drink and meals in the warm summer evenings and our dog loved exploring. It was everything we hoped for a countryside getaway not too far from London.

Coastal Gem
Great location for attending a wedding at Villiers Barn. House is really well equipped with everything you need for a relaxing stay. Gemma was really responsive prior to our stay and provided lots of useful information re the local area, places to eat etc. The hot tub was a big hit with all of us, particularly our 5 year old grandson!

Alma Street 2 bed
Clean, tidy and warm. The stairs are steep but we were warned in the description. Beds comfortable.

My daughter and grand children (all grown up now) had a fabulous stay and loved every minute. The cottage and gardens were immaculate, I would definitely recommend it to friends and family. Thank you Clare on behalf of my family

The Gildhall
Had a wonderful stay in this delightful, beamed farm house with great character. Lots of space inside with large lounge and dining room and nice sized bedrooms. Large kitchen with AGA cooker. Gardens are beautiful, so well maintained, peaceful and lovely walks through the countryside. Perfect for a nice relaxing break. Local farm shop a few minutes drive away has all you would need plus there's a very nice restaurant too.

No.18 - A perfect island getaway
We absolutely loved this home and would love to stay again! It was immaculately clean, well equipped, and has a fab garden, which we were able to use a lot due to the gorgeous weather. Close to shops, great cafes and the beach. Really quick and helpful responses from hosts. We really appreciated the lovely welcome gift and the bucket and spade got a lot of use - thank you! We will definitely recommend to friends and family and will be back.

#4BR Sleeps7 -20% Discounts-Contractors/Insurance#
Had a lovely stay here. Found the rooms really spacious and comfortable. It’s a peaceful location yet near the city and has A12 access for a quick getaway. The coffee shop and Coop a few minutes walk away were also really handy for the morning boost and to shop.

We had a wedding close by and this AirBnb was a perfect find! Great value for money and perfect spot for a weekend getaway. This was our first trip with our puppy and Hannah made it all the more convenient. Would definitely recommend!

This is wonderful accommodation, spacious for two and a dog with a nice garden in a beautiful area. Accommodation was very clean and comfortable. There are plenty of local walks without even having to drive, plus a very decent local pub with excellent food. We had a fantastic time and would definitely visit again.

Georgian Farmhouse in Serene Countryside
We stayed in Katie’s accommodation to celebrate my grandmothers 80th birthday. The accommodation is gorgeous and has everything you need. We really appreciated having an en-suite in every bedroom. Lots of entertaining rooms downstairs and beautiful large garden. Would highly recommend this accommodation for large family gatherings. Perfect for all ages. Thank you

Spacious 3 Bedroom Family House with Workspace
Lovely stay, host answered all questions promptly. Very clean and had everything we needed. Thank you

Gorgeous cottage set in Bures
Beautiful cottage with everything you could need. We went with two kids and it was so nice not to have to pack the whole house/fridge for just one night. The kitchen was stocked with tea, coffee, fresh milk and bread, jam and butter! Everything was so easy and the landscaped garden is beautiful. On top of this we left behind an electric toothbrush which was posted back to us the day after we left :-)
