📌Little Barn, Oxfordshire

This three-bedroom nineteenth-century Cotswold stone barn boasts a natural swimming pond just outside the back door – a happy middle ground between your local lido and wild swimming

📌North Rock Beach House, Cornwall

This is, frankly, Bond-villain levels of luxury. North Rock Beach House is perched on a cliff above Sennen Cove, one of Cornwall’s loveliest beaches. So the views from the pool and loungers are absolutely ridiculous

📌Box Barn, Gloucestershire

This former farm barn sleeps 17 people. There's a games room, massive cooking range, opulent dining room and a private heated pool that has a handy retractable roof, so that you can still practice your backstroke in a classic English summer downpour

📌The Bothy, Hampshire

This bright and light cottage might only be a mile or so from the sea, but there’s one good reason to stay put. Most of the rooms open out onto a private heated pool, so you’ve got zero excuses not to jump in at the deep end

📌Halula Beach House, Cornwall

Just off of Fistral Beach in Newquay, this enormous rental which sleeps 24 cashes in on the area’s surfy atmosphere with a private pool, colourful bean bags, hot tub, poolside bar and a giant BBQ for refuelling after a day catching waves

📌Cider Barn, Devon

Don’t trust the Great British Summer to provide suitable rays? We don't blame you. This stunning indoor pool is surrounded by glass, with views out over the countryside. And if the sun does shine, the beaches of Salcombe and Slapton are a quick drive away

📌The Sanctuary, Kent

Picture a grand beamed-exterior home in a leafy part of Kent. This is it and more. On fair-weather days, there are huge gardens, a patio for BBQs, and a sizable pool for splashing around in, plus a pool house with garden games (including pool, actually)

📌The Farm Camp, Wiltshire

Like the idea of going all Famous Five and sleeping under canvas but don’t want to totally rough it? These off-grid bell tents in a patch of peaceful woodland have compost loos, firepits and… an indoor, heated swimming pool. The dream

📌60s Poolhouse, Gloucestershire

Cotswolds village, or California hills? This glass, timber and stone holiday cottage was built in the '60s and features a private swimming pool and generous poolside area for sunset cocktails and lazy afternoons

📌Apple Barn, Somerset

Not only does this rustic Somerset barn have a private hot tub and sauna, but it also features an enormous pool. Located near Glastonbury, you'll have stunning countryside walks at your doorstep, plus three excellent pubs nearby

📌Linea, Devon

Like your holz to look like they’re straight out of an architecture mag? Linea is the one. Set in a dramatic spot above the Atlantic in north Devon, this dreamy rental which sleeps 10 boasts a super-stylish vibe and the kind of infinity pool people fly to Bali for

📌The Barn, Clwyd

You get bumper views from this cute little cottage on the Welsh-English border. It looks out over miles of verdant countryside – plus the pool just beyond the front door. Heated from June until August, the pool sits in three acres of private garden

📌Picture Postcard Cottage, Norfolk

An idyllic English cottage within daytripping distance of the north Norfolk coastline, this rental comes with its own private, heated swimming pool framed by neat decking. On a sunny day, you’ll have a hard time believing you’re not on the Med
