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.

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

We had a great stay and with all the amenities at the location there was something to do for everyone.

Such a lovely lodge with views over the lake. Plenty of outdoor space to relax in the sunshine. Short walk to the Boathouse restaurant and Pizzaria. Will definitely return.

This house was great - very clean and tidy, nice furnishings, great location. The instructions were all clear and easy to follow, I would book this again for a future trip to Oxford

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Really gorgeous and peaceful location. Place was clean, tidy and serene. Kinvara was ever so helpful and kind, a brilliant host indeed! Would definitely recommend and return! X

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

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

A lovely cottage in a beautiful location overlooking the lake. We loved spotting the birds with the binoculars provided, and were able to kayak from the private jetty. We also tried the spa and the outdoor heated pool. The perfect location for an active girls' weekend away.

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