Holiday rentals with lake access in West Berkshire

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.

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

We enjoyed our stay at the Lake House. The kitchen was well stocked and the private outdoor space made meals feel special. We would definitely come back again.

I had a truly wonderful stay at this beautiful home. The house was absolutely perfect—spotlessly clean, thoughtfully decorated, and equipped with everything I needed for a comfortable and relaxing visit. I was especially touched by the extra care taken to prepare for my son’s stay: a high chair, cot bed, and even some lovely toys were all thoughtfully provided, which made a big difference for us as a family. The garden was a peaceful haven and perfect for enjoying a morning coffee or letting my little one play. The location is ideal for a longer stay, with easy access to nearby attractions for day trips—and even London is not too far away. Every detail in the home showed how much the host cares about the guests’ comfort. It truly felt like a home away from home. I’m so grateful for the warm hospitality and would love to come back again!

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.

Really lovely house on the lake. Its a good location for walking, paddleboarding, etc. and there are a couple of lovely pubs in the village (circa 15 minute walk). The place is spacious, and the outside decking area is a big plus. Certainly we'd book this property again.

Wonderful place. Thank you for the lovely treats on arrival and the use of the kayak. Liz

We had a wonderful stay. The lodge is in a really quiet location overlooking the lake. Watching the goslings whilst having breakfast was so lovely. The lodge is as described and everything was clean and welcoming. Would stay again. Frannie is a great host, with excellent communication.

Great place for a great price

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.

A cosy contained flat sitting about an absolutely stunning valley, overlooking a wood beyond. Holly's flat was absolutely perfect for what I wanted - an away from it all, peaceful location where I could study and write. I love nature and I was surrounded by deer, incredible birdsong, red kites, pheasants and so much more. I was lucky to be here for the bluebells and also the golden fields of rapeseed. Ideal location for anyone who likes hill walking, hiking and / or is doing the Cotswold Way. It takes less than 10 mins to drive into Cheltenham, but this place is truly an oasis of calm and serenity. A 6-min drive to the nearest large supermarket, so that was handy. The furniture etc might be a tad dated but, honestly, the price reflects that fact and, frankly, I loved that this wasn't a show home, but rather a well-loved country place. Holly was wonderful to interact with. I recommend this flat in the heart of the Cotswolds. The bed is super comfy too!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Had a lovely three night stay at Lake Cottage. The surroundings are beautiful and our two dogs loved having the enclosed garden to play in. Morning walks around the lake were peaceful due to the secluded nature of the cottage. Would definitely recommend for others. The cottage itself is modern, clean and very well maintained.

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 :)

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 very cozy cottage located in a nice town. from the cottage beautiful walks can be made.

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.
