Eight Love Island-style villas you can rent in the UK fitted with private pools and pubs

Love Island is back for its eighth series, and whether you'll be watching for the coupling, the drama, or the laughs, it will be tough not to have serious villa envy.

This year, the iconic dating show is taking place in Majorca, meaning the islanders will spend most of their time sun-basking by the pool.

It also means that many an awkward date will be had in some beautiful Spanish locations and the couples will take part in super fun activities.

But you don't need to fly off to Spain to fulfil your villa fantasy - as there are some pretty amazing abodes on offer here in the UK.

These gorgeous holiday villas are available to rent for short term trips and some give the Love Island villa a run for its money.

We're talking private pools, open fires, hot tubs and of course, epic views of the gorgeous scenery to be found in Britain.

Oh, and unlike the islanders there's no need to all pile into one room - in these homes, everyone gets their own private bedroom!

To get you in the holiday mood, the Mirror has picked out some amazing UK villas you can put on your staycation wish list...

Chynoweth, Cornwall

The pool at Chynoweth (Mirror Online/ Sykes Holiday cottages)

This luxurious home in St Newlyn East not only has heaps of beautiful rooms, but it also has some pretty cool features like a private outdoor swimming pool, sunloungers and deck, and an open fire for those chillier evenings.

There's even a cinema room if you want to catch up on your favourite rom coms (or binge Love Island of course), not to mention it's a short walk to nearby pubs if you're after a night out.

How much? Seven nights from £1,511. The property sleeps 10 people so that's approx £151pp.

Villa with a private pool, Cornwall

Hidden away in Saint Columb Major, this property comes with a private heated outdoor pool, a large hot tub, an on-site sauna, and even a large cinema with Netflix.

Basically, everything you need for a dreamy break with mates!

How much? Seven nights from £997 a night on Airbnb. The property sleeps up to 12 people so that's approximately £83pp, but there are minimum stays of three or seven nights depending on the month you choose

The Temple, Peak District

You could rent a house with its very own pub (Mirror Online/Holiday Cottages)
