It can be expensive to spend a few days in a health spa so why not rent a holiday home with your own pampering facilities close at hand.<\/p>\n

Whether you are looking for somewhere to stay with your partner, with a couple of friends or in a large group there will be the perfect place somewhere in the UK or Ireland.<\/p>\n

\"Holiday<\/a>

Why not book a holiday home with your own spa facilities<\/p><\/div>\n

You can then combine the experience of being pampered with the opportunity to explore a lovely coastal town, a nearby city or miles of rolling countryside.<\/p>\n

Here are a few features to consider when you are searching for self-catering pampering and spa breaks<\/a> to book:<\/p>\n

Sauna<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve been out for a long walk or visited a local attraction there are few things more relaxing than having a sauna.<\/p>\n

When you are looking for luxury self-catering accommodation with a sauna<\/a> it is best to check with the owners as to whether you will get exclusive use of the facility or if you have to share it with others staying at the property.<\/p>\n

Hot tub<\/strong><\/p>\n

Imagine laying back in warm water with a glass of bubbly in one hand and your favourite novel in the other while looking out at stunning countryside. This dream can become reality when you book luxury self-catering with hot tubs<\/a>. Check with the owners on the location of the hot tub as you might prefer an indoor one to one outdoors.<\/p>\n

\"Holiday<\/a>

You can rent holiday properties with amazing views from the hot tub<\/p><\/div>\n

Gym<\/strong><\/p>\n

Some people hate missing their regular workout when they are away and there is no need to when you look for luxury self-catering accommodation with a gym<\/a>. You will probably have access to a shared facility on site or you may be offered complimentary membership of a nearby gym.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Swimming pool<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s regarded as one of the healthiest of sports since swimming works virtually every muscle in the body and there is no impact on joints. So sift through the options for\u00a0luxury accommodation with swimming pools<\/a> so you can get in shape during your pampering break.<\/p>\n

\"holiday<\/a>

Some accommodation for holiday breaks comes with a private indoor swimming pool<\/p><\/div>\n

Jacuzzi<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you are taking your holiday break as a couple or in a small group of friends then you might enjoy relaxing in a gently bubbling bath with a glass of wine.\u00a0Luxury cottages and properties with Jacuzzis<\/a> can be found in the most idyllic locations.<\/p>\n
