Finally getting the whole crew together is always a highlight, but finding a place that actually fits everyone comfortably is the real trick. When you’re planning a big reunion, a milestone birthday, or just a long-overdue catch-up with friends, having your own private swimming pool makes the whole trip feel that bit more special. You can spend your mornings splashing about, or just relax by the water while the rest of the group keeps things lively.
We know that when you’re travelling in a big group, you need more than just beds. You need enough space to cook a massive breakfast together, comfy sofas to sink into after a day out, and hopefully a bit of outdoor room for those summer BBQs. Our collection of swimming pool cottages in Devon gives you exactly that.
Why a private pool makes all the difference
There’s something about having a private pool that just shifts the mood from a regular trip to a proper holiday. Whether you’re staying near Salcombe, Dartmouth, or tucked away near Kingsbridge, having a pool on-site means you don’t have to worry about packing the car up for a trip to the beach if you’d rather have a lazy day. It’s the perfect way to keep the kids entertained or for the adults to unwind with a drink in hand while the sun goes down.
We’ve got plenty of spots in Croyde, Woolacombe, and Ilfracombe that are ideal for big celebrations. Imagine having a massive house where you can host your own pool party, fire up the grill in the garden, and finally get everyone in one place without feeling cramped. Because let's face it, trying to squeeze twenty people around a table that only fits six is a recipe for disaster.
Planning your group trip to Devon
Devon is brilliant for groups because there’s always something for everyone to get stuck into. If your group includes a four-legged friend, don't worry, as we have plenty of dog-friendly options so nobody misses out. When you’re not making the most of your private pool, you’ll find some great spots for a group walk or a big pub lunch near Barnstaple, Bideford, or Torquay.
If you are looking for a bit of a coastal vibe, Exmouth and Sidmouth are fantastic for larger groups who want a mix of adventure and relaxation. For those who prefer the rugged charm of the countryside, look for a spot near Tavistock or Okehampton.
Choosing the right place to stay is the biggest part of the puzzle. With our range of large houses, you’ll find massive kitchens for group feasts, spacious lounges for movie nights, and gardens that are actually big enough for the whole gang. It’s all about creating memories together, and we’re here to help you find the perfect base for your next big adventure.
