Holiday rentals with lake access in Cherwell District

Carthorse Barn is just simply stunning ! So spacious and beautifully decorated, we felt right at home . The day we arrived weather was not the greatest so having a wood stove was blissful. The cottage is very spacious and has everything needed for a comfortable stay , kitchen is fully equipped, downstairs toilet a welcomed bonus. Upstairs both bedrooms are immaculate, spacious and have very comfy beds . I loved the window bench in the kids bedroom, such a wonderful nook to relax. The main bedroom has the biggest and comfiest bed I have ever seen , such a beautiful wooden headboard too. I loved the free standing bath. The farm is also lovely and we enjoyed going to see the pigs and walking round the lakes.

We had a very enjoyable stay with the family for a major birthday celebration. The accommodation and location are really lovely. The kayaks with life jackets were available. We had a few minor cleanliness issues which couldn't be resolved during our stay but we did receive modest compensation. One observation; the ladder style steps up to the mezzanine are very steep and not suitable for young children on their own and the beds up there are too small for fully grown adults or tall teenagers!. This is not addressed in the spec of the accommodation. We ate at a local restaurant, The Crown at Ampney Brook. Food and service exemplary.

Great place ..Beautiful surrounding..Everything was there what a family need on Holiday including toys for kids.. We loved it..Thanks

Beautiful property, spotlessly clean and well equipped. Set right on a very peaceful lake; was great siting on the desk watching the water sports. Easy to find and enter and good communication from the hosts. No faults at all.

Great property with the most beautiful views. Property was as described and exactly like the pictures. We had a few questions whilst staying there and Tricia was very responsive and helpful.

We had a great stay. it was close to bus station stop we could take into the city. The place was clean and quiet neighborhood.

This is an impressive cottage in Bourton, only a short walk into the centre. Everything about the cottage was exactly as described. Sarah is an exceptional host, very proactive, informative and friendly. Supplied accurate details of how to find the property, and was available when we arrived to show us around and answer any questions. The whole process was seamless. Many thanks Sarah, we had a great stay and your recommendations were really helpful. Also, thank you for the lemon drizzle cake, which we greatly enjoyed.

A really lovely stay in South Cerney - the place was perfect, clean and comfy, with everything we needed/wanted including a BBQ and games, and in a beautiful setting and with lots to do on the doorstep. Highly recommend.

A very nice flat located on the main road (Abingdon) toward Oxford city center. About a 25-30 walk. The flat itself is good for one or two people. Upstairs sitting area/living room gets terrific sunlight and a great breeze. Pretty convenient Tesco Expresses just north and just south of the flat. Quiet neighborhood. Pretty park right next door.

The location was great, close to Christ Church and the Main Street. It was peaceful and adequate. Thank you Mariano.

Really cosy, comfortable lovely barn, set amongst picturesque lakes and commutable to lots of gorgeous towns.

Frank was the best host I’ve had so far on AirBnB, he was fast to communicate despite the large time difference from the other side of the world. The Studio was perfect and exactly what I needed for my stay in Maidenhead, would highly recommend to anyone wanting a nice, private and cosy space away from the main streets.

The flat is beautiful stairs quite steep lovely bedroom and lounge. It’s a three minute walk to the perch an amazing pub with garden and great food. It’s half an hour river walk to the trout another amazing pub with views. The walk to Oxford is half an hour across fields and along the river. Easy walk and beautiful. There is a Waitrose few minutes drive away. The welcome back was lovely. The hosts so lovely . The garden beautiful. This is our second visit and will not be our last.

Lovely stay at Willow Warbler. The estate is beautiful & maintained to a high standard. Very peaceful. The apartment had everything we needed including extra touches like milk, travel cot, washing machine & dishwasher tablets, plenty of cooking equipment, tea bags, oil for cooking etc. There is a nice restaurant & pool on site. We didn’t use the gym as the opening hours weren’t early enough (10-5 so we were out for the day). We travelled with a 9 month old but there looked to be lots of things for older children such as soft play, water sports & play ground. Lots of bird watching to be done. Jane was very good at communicating with us & checking everything was ok. We used the apartment as a base to go out for the day such as to Oxford & Bourton but the apartment is very comfortable if you prefer chilling. Would recommend if you are looking for a quiet relaxed break.

We booked Glyme Flat as we were working in the local area for a couple of days. What a lovely place to wind down after a days work! The instructions to find the place & check in where especially useful as it is very off the beaten track. Make sure you've got them downloaded as there really isn't much signal there! Thanks very much :)

Many thanks to Jaany and Richard for proactively offering extra assistance to make my in-laws stay as comfortable as possible. It was perfect for a one-night stopover in the area.

Great communication and lovely house near the outdoor heated swimming pool, tennis courts and sauna

5 Stars – A Magical Cotswolds Getaway Our family had the absolute best time at Catherine’s beautiful property! From swimming in the pool to watching the friendly farm animals, every moment was unforgettable. The setting is peaceful, the accommodations were spotless and charming, and the entire experience felt like a dream. One of the highlights was chatting with Catherine and her husband about life, travel, and everything in between — they are warm, thoughtful, and genuinely lovely hosts. We left feeling refreshed, connected, and so grateful. Highly recommend this special spot to anyone looking for a magical escape in the Cotswolds.

We loved our stay in Ducklington. The cottage was beautiful and so clean. It had everything we needed. Barry was so helpful and gave us lots of recommendations. We went to Diddly Squat during the day and the Farmers Dog for dinner and the evening. Barry recommended a taxi driver who was wonderful. Thank you Barry and Julian. We loved our stay x

The stay was great! A group of 6 of us was able to stay and we really enjoyed the house and the location. Perfect for a nice getaway to spend quality time with friends and great for water sports nearby. Kim was very kind to leave some chocolates and drinks for us! Thank you so much :)

The cottage was perfect. Private, beautiful & had everything we could possibly want & more. We would highly recommend & definitely hope to visit again. It was good to meet Liz & Mike. A very special place. Thank you.

Wish we could go back on a regular basis, as this was an amazing stay for our first time to the UK. Absolutely would recommend! Thank you for a lovely week!

Fairhazel was a lovely cottage. Spotlessly clean with many thoughtful touches and lots of goodies. Lower Mill Estate is a lovely place to stay with lots to do - paddle boarding, swimming, walking, tennis and cycling. We would definitely recommend and will return. Thank you Jason

perfect location for a weekend exploring the Cotswolds. surprisingly peaceful and a lovely outlook
