Holiday rentals with lake access in Stratford-on-Avon 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 fantastic time at Jamie’s house, a group of ladies, celebrating our 60th birthdays. Each room had an en-suite which was a real plus. The kitchen was fully equipped and we had everything we needed. He even provided toiletries and cleaning products. Jamie replied quickly to our questions. A great location, with the large garden and hot tub. The coffee machine was great too! Highly recommended, we hope to return in the near future.

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.

Lovely location, perfect holiday home. We had a great time

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.

What a wonderful stay! Great Lake House and beautiful sceneries. Kids will love this place as there’s tons of goose/ducks around and lots of space to walk around. Tricia has been so kind and welcoming, even dropped in to say hi and sent us some coffee & wine. What a graceful host, thank you once again 💕

We had a fabulous stay at this beautiful home. It was well appointed with lovely details. The host Sarah goes above and beyond to make sure you have what you need. The location is ideal - a peaceful spot to relax conveniently located walking distance from town and walking paths.

Fantastic property in a beautiful location. Host perfect responded promptly to any communication. Went above and beyond. Would highly recommend this property.

Lovely stay, second time here!

Lovely apartment with everything we needed and more! Very welcoming to us and our dog. We shall be back!

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.

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.

I have absolutely loved my staying here, it was just a perfect weekend. In the middle of peaceful nature, a super clean, charming and cozy mansion which made us love our time in the Cotswolds. It has everything you need to spend both short and long stays here. Perfect instructions to reach the place too. Excellent value for money too. Definitely recommended to families or two couples of friends.

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.

An AMAZING host and just a stunning setting!

As soon as you shut the front door, you just feel at home and calm. The house has everything you could ask for and more. Sitting at the kitchen table, with the sun coming through the garden was my Happy place. I could quite happily live here.

Wow! What a fabulous, totally relaxing weekend in the most beautiful and peaceful surroundings. We (and our 2 miniature Dachshund) just loved that as soon as you stepped of the front door, there was so much garden, woods, lake and fields to explore. And don't forget the peacocks, Roger and Kevin, adding that magical touch passing right by the front of the cottage. Jean was so lovely too. We absolutely would love to return xx

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 :)

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
