10 Airbnbs with tennis courts in the UK and beyond
While Wimbledon happens only once a year, you can enjoy a hit about anytime at these Airbnb rentals, all of which boast their own tennis court.
Whether you're a total newbie interested in working on your forehand while away, or a seasoned tennis player wanting to take your passion (and killer serve!) on holiday with you, these Airbnbs with tennis courts in the UK (and a handful abroad) could be the ideal spot for your next weekend break or annual holiday.
Like our favourite Airbnbs with pianos and Harry Potter-themed Airbnbs, these amazing holiday homes prove that a self-catering break can offer something different to the standard villa or apartment rental.
From a Surrey penthouse apartment with sprawling gardens to a French cottage with its own hard-surface court, if you're hoping to hit some balls next time you're away, look no further...
Penthouse with tennis court – Ewhurst, Surrey
Set amid the verdant Surrey Hills, this penthouse apartment is on the top floor of a beautiful English country house. With its own private entrance, there are two lovingly decorated bedrooms, a large lounge and cinema room plus a six-foot pool inside, but it's the outside space that steals the show here. Guests have access to perfectly manicured gardens, a pond and a full-size tennis court, which is ideal for those wanting to practice their ground strokes or perfect their serve. If the sun's shining, a picnic and some Pimm's on the lawn is a must.

Georgian mansion with tennis court – Greenstead Green, Essex
This may well be the most extravagant Airbnb you'll ever book, but for a large group (it has eight beds and can accommodate over 16 adults upon request) it's a fabulous venue for a celebratory weekend or indulgent break. Interiors aficionados will adore every bit of the wallpaper, furniture and tiling here, while tennis fans will love having a knockabout – or a full-blown tournament – on the outdoor court. Any post-match aching muscles can be soothed in the property's hot tub and sauna afterwards.

Barn conversion with tennis court – Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire
This delightful barn conversion, complete with exposed beams and a log-burning fire, is surrounded by five acres of garden and has countryside views as far as the eye can see. There's obviously plenty of space for lawn games like boules, crochet and cricket, while those who fancy a spot of tennis can make use of the property's astroturf court. If rain stops play, you can scramble into the mezzanine-level games room, which is home to a full-sized billiards table.
Sleeps: 6
Price per night: from £600 per night
Farm stay with tennis court – Exmoor, Somerset
Located 1,250 feet-high on the hills of Exmoor, this farm stay offers a restful and relaxing escape. That is unless you spend your whole visit walking in the moorland, cycling through the valleys, embarking on a scenic horse ride, fishing in the local lakes, or challenging opponents on the property's private tennis court. If you've got any energy left, the grounds here are so vast there's plenty of room for a game of rounders, too. Start limbering up...
Sleeps: 13
Price per night: from £624
Cottage with tennis court – Dordogne, France
Surrounded by the rolling fields of rural Dordogne in south-west France, this renovated cottage is a brilliant base for exploring the UNESCO-listed caves of the Vézère Valley and historic town of Sarlat, both located nearby. But for visitors more interested in match play than medieval architecture and prehistoric sites, this property will still be a hit thanks to its private, hard-surface tennis court. The stunning outdoor seating area and swimming pool here make it very easy to forgo exploring elsewhere, too.
Sleeps: 9
Price per night: from £205
Farm stay with tennis court – Heathfield, East Sussex
With wooden clad walls, a stone-effect kitchenette, log-burning fire and reindeer antlers a running theme throughout, this small lodge set in the grounds of a 17th century-built farmhouse nods to the Alps much more than it does East Sussex. But step outside and you'll be reminded of this stunning UK location, thanks to extensive views of South Downs and the coast beyond, and the vast garden that surrounds the property. Guests have access to their own private tennis court as well as a ping pong table, so racket sports should be top of your agenda here.
Sleeps: 2
Price per night: from £115
Villa with shared tennis court – Lloret de Mar, Spain
This five-bedroom, stone-clad villa is less than a 30-minute drive from Girona's airport and faces directly onto the Balearic Sea. Backdropped by ocean views, its bijou garden has an inviting pool, patio and barbecue area, but if you're planning on doing more than sunbathing and sizzling some locally-caught gambas, the villa also has access to a tennis court. It's shared with two other properties, though the villa's owner insists it's available most of the time. For a refreshing, post-match dip in the sea, the local beach (Platja de Canyelles) is only a 20-minute walk away.
Sleeps: 12
Price per night: from £196
Farmhouse with tennis courts – Three Holes, Norfolk
This elegant farmhouse on the Norfolk-Cambridge border, which has modern-rustic decor and spacious living areas, is certainly equipped for all your sporting needs. Inside, the games room offers snooker and darts, while the property supplies croquet mallets, cricket bats, balls and footballs for outdoor pursuits. In addition, there's a heated swimming pool (available from April to September) and a full-size tennis court complete with an umpire's chair. Rackets and balls are provided, but you'll need to bring your own strawberries and cream.
Sleeps: 12
Price per night: from £733
Country house with tennis court – Feltre, Italy
Channel your inner Sinner, Berrettini or Musetti by taking to the court at this beautiful Italian country home, close to the town of Feltre, northern Italy. Having been tastefully renovated (original parts of the house date back to the 1600s), the interior teams wooden beams, exposed stone walls and brickwork archways with minimalist, modern furniture and 1970s-hued pops of orange and yellow. Set among rolling fields and with a backdrop of mountains, you'll want to spend as much time as possible outdoors here. Thankfully, then, there are swings and play equipment for children, a sheltered veranda with sweeping views, and the aforementioned tennis court, which comes complete with rackets and balls.
Sleeps: 6
Price per night: from £231
House with tennis court – Cancún, Mexico
Baby blue skies, green palms, a turquoise pool and ruddy-hued buildings, this seven-bedroom house in Cancún has a colour palette reminiscent of David Hockney's 'A Bigger Splash'. Focused around outdoor living, the bungalow-style property has a barbecue and alfresco dining area, plenty of sunbathing space, and, of course, a brilliant blue hard-surfaced tennis court. This is the place for sunshine, swimming and a whole lot of (tennis) shots.
Sleeps: 16+
