The best Airbnbs in the UK with pools

This 19th-century Cotswold stone barn is surrounded by peaceful Oxfordshire countryside. Spend your time embracing all things natural, with a natural swimming pool that's a happy middle ground between your local lido and wild swimming, so enjoy a splash around in summer or make use of your wetsuit in the winter when things get a little nippier. The house sleeps six guests across three grand bedrooms, making it a top spot for family and friend getaways. When you're not rambling through the countryside, kick back and relax by the large fireplace or with a couple of drinks on the garden patio.

Plus, there's a beautiful garden and patio for you to take your morning cuppa out and enjoy the world passing by.

Down the road, there's The Lodge pub with views of the Cotswold escarpment, independent shops and cafes, and an award-winning farmers market.

This quirky Airbnb is the brainchild of Hungarian artist-architect Andras Kaldor and owner Richard Johnston.

Alongside the pool, you've got a kitted-out gym and outdoor tennis court, plus luxuries like extravagant artwork in the perfectly manicured gardens. Yeah, you probably won't want to leave.
