Some of the best leisure facilities available can be obtained by booking a break on a holiday park. The larger a company, the more it can afford to invest in the activities that holidaymakers ask for. Most holiday parks have a swimming pool at the very least, the best will have a complete leisure centre of its own that features a gym, steam rooms, saunas, games courts and Jacuzzi. Holiday accommodation that is able to sleep ten people generally means a large holiday cottage or a house although there is the occasional larger than usual timber lodge that is also able to sleep this number of people.
Self-catering accommodation can be very good for larger groups because it offers the best value holidays per head. Large families or groups of ten friends together can easily look after themselves when it comes to food and often it is the much preferred choice because so many supermarkets sell ready meals that just need heating up in a microwave or oven.
A country cottage with 5-6 bedrooms and an outdoor swimming pool in the garden is heavenly for the summer. Any decent holiday accommodation will have garden furniture, sun loungers and a barbeque near the pool. Every day can be a barbeque and swim day if that makes you happy.
Groups of 10 vary immensely with their expectations of UK breaks. The weather is always important because we need at the very least a lack of rain for a really good holiday. Heated pools in the garden are nice and warm once people are in the water and the outside temperature is not as critical as one might imagine although warm days are essential for children who like to jump in and out of a swimming pool just for fun.
Some of the glass covered garden pools are perfect for British weather in that they allow sunshine through so that it is pleasant for both swimming and sunbathing.
Self-catering cottages with a pool and good facilities in popular tourist areas in the UK:
The greatest number of British cottages with swimming pools tend to be in the south and popular tourist holiday hot spots such as the Lake District, Peak District and Yorkshire Dales and Moors.
As lovely as it is to explore Britain’s national parks, it is equally satisfying to go for a swim and relax with a few lengths or a soak in the Jacuzzi.
