Holiday Homes with a Pool and Games Room for Groups

A pool keeps a group busy by day and a games room takes over when the sun goes in, so houses with both suit mixed-age families and celebration weekends alike. The pool is the harder half to find: far fewer group houses on this site have a swimming pool than have a games room. This page lists only the houses whose owners list both, so you don't have to cross-check houses with swimming pools against houses with games rooms.

These are whole houses let on an exclusive-use basis, which makes them a natural fit for large family holidays, birthday weekends and reunions where some of the group want the pool and the rest want a pool table and a tournament bracket.

Many of them also have a hot tub. If a pool matters less than a hot tub, our large houses with a hot tub and games room page covers a wider choice, and you can add a private chef or cocktail masterclass to any stay.

What to Expect

  • Every house listed has a pool and a games room, pool table or table tennis
  • Indoor and outdoor pools: each listing says which, and when it is open
  • Exclusive use of the whole house for your group
  • Enquiries go straight to the owner, with no booking fee
  • Private chefs and cocktail classes can be added to your stay
  • Pool by Day

    Indoor and outdoor pools, from year-round covered pools to seasonal ones.

  • Games by Night

    A games room, pool table or table tennis for evenings and wet days.

  • Room for Everyone

    Large houses for families, friends and celebration weekends.

Large Holiday Homes with a Swimming Pool: Check the Pool Details

“Pool” covers more than you might expect, so read the pool paragraph on each listing before you book. Some pools are indoors and don't depend on the weather; outdoor pools usually have a season, and the listing should say when. Arrangements differ too: Model Farm Country House in Somerset has a 20-metre natural swimming pond rather than a treated pool, and Tre-Vern in Herefordshire offers its indoor heated pool in exclusive daily sessions. If you're booking at either end of the summer, ask the owner whether the pool will be open and heated for your dates. For houses with an indoor pool and no games requirement, see houses with indoor pools.

What Counts as a Games Room Here

We use the same rule as our games room page: the owner lists a games room, a pool table or table tennis. That covers everything from a converted barn full of games to a pool table in a second lounge. If darts, snooker, a games console or arcade machines matter to your group, check the facilities list or ask the owner.

Pool Safety and House Rules

Swimming at a rented house is unsupervised, and every owner sets their own pool rules, such as opening hours, no glass by the water and no swimming after drinking. With children in the group, agree who is watching the pool before anyone gets in; our safety checklist for bringing young children covers pools, hot tubs and stairs.

When to Book

Houses with pools are most in demand in the school summer holidays and on bank holiday weekends, when outdoor pools are most likely to be open. Our guides to school holidays 2026/27 and UK bank holidays 2027 set out the dates, and every enquiry goes straight to the owner.

Pool and Games Room Houses: FAQs

Everything you need to know before booking

Does every house on this page have both a swimming pool and a games room?

Yes. A house appears here only when its owner lists a swimming pool (indoor or outdoor) and a games room, pool table or table tennis. Check each listing for the exact set-up.

Are the pools heated and open all year?

It depends on the house. Indoor pools don't depend on the weather, while outdoor pools usually have a season, and heating and opening times are set by each owner. The listing should say when the pool is open; if you are booking in spring or autumn, ask the owner to confirm for your dates.

Is the pool private to our group?

The houses are let on an exclusive-use basis. If a pool is shared with other guests on the same estate, or used in booked sessions, the listing should say so; ask the owner if it isn't clear.

Is there a lifeguard?

No. Swimming is unsupervised and guests are responsible for their own safety, following the owner's pool rules. Agree who is watching any children before anyone swims.

How many people do these houses sleep?

The houses on this page currently sleep between 12 and 56 guests. Each listing shows its bedrooms and exact sleeping arrangements.

When should we book a pool house for the summer holidays?

As early as your group can agree dates. School summer holidays are the busiest weeks for houses with pools; in most English council areas we checked they start on 22 or 23 July 2027, while Edinburgh and Glasgow schools break up in late June. Our school holidays guide lists the dates.
