Nothings says luxury more than having a swimming pool to slide into when you’re on holiday.

From 5* hotels, to secluded cottages, to our fun-filled holiday parks, there’s a New Forest place with a pool to suit everyone, with many having indoor and outdoor facilities.

If you love to swim in the fresh air, then check out the Chewton Glen Hotel at New Milton. The accommodation will wrap you in 5* luxury, as well as offering the chance to swim indoors, or outside in their sparkling, heated pool.
