At Parent Friendly Stays we nearly always try to find self-catering cottages or hotels with a swimming pool on site. Swimming’s fun for kids and adults alike, it’s good for you and it’s something you can do whether the sun is shining or the rain is pouring! For us a swimming pool (indoor or out) is pretty much an essential feature of any relaxing family holiday.

Here’s our collection of family friendly holidays with a swimming pool.

If you have a particular type of holiday in mind use the following filters:  cottages with a pool  |  lodges with a pool  |   hotels with a pool  |  farm stays with a pool
