Here’s the scenario: you and your buddies, say up to 18 of you, want to go away for a few days for a good catch up; you were all at uni together and since then you’ve all grown up, got careers, husbands, children, mortgages, etc. You haven't seen each other for a few years so there's heaps to talk about, and of course you want to have a laugh reminiscing. But you also want to stay somewhere where there’s enough to keep you all entertained – a swimming pool, or a hot tub, a games room, spa facilities, things like that.

Pick a large group holiday home with an indoor swimming pool and you know you're onto a winner. It doesn't matter what the weather's up to, everyone will be happy splashing about inside, young and old alike. And the beauty is that if the old sun decides to pop his head out, as most of our pool halls have big bi-fold doors, all you have to do is pull 'em back and let the summer in' bring it on! And don't think that such a luxury means expensive, because it doesn't - when you split the cost between all members of your party it works out at less than the price of a decent hotel per person; great value, great fun.

If you’re looking for a holiday house for 12 with a private pool, you really need to know about Jurston Barn.

There’s plenty of space, 6 en suite bedrooms, a huge open-plan kitchen/dining room, a snug/games room, and as well as the private indoor heated pool there’s a hot tub, landscaped gardens and a play area for the children.
