Family-friendly vacation rentals in Cherwell District

A clean and well equipped house with plenty of space for the family. The views looking over the lake are stunning, whether just sitting or in the hot tub. Plenty to do with the kids and onsite bistro is good quality and reasonably priced. The Spa and swimming pool is excellent. A great place to stay for a long weekend.

Absolutely perfect place for a family celebration. The house was amazing with nothing lacking. The hot tub was enjoyed by all & the Lakeside Restaurant was so close & served delicious food. The views down the lake were stunning 😍 We would definitely recommend this home for a long weekend or a week's holiday as there is so much to do in the area. Great communication from Orion - loved it!!

I wouldn’t know where to start and I certainly wouldn’t know where to end, but what an Absolutely fantastic host and amazing person! He really went above and beyond. Highly recommended and will definitely be returning! What an experience to say the least. Thank you for being so accommodating.

We had a lovely stay at this Airbnb for my partners 30th, lots of beautiful places around but all was about 20/30mins drive. Jonathan and his partner were very lovely hosts, made us feel very welcome and was very responsive to any questions we needed to ask. It’s a beautiful peaceful place to stay, the hot tub was lovely, Jonathan helped set it up for us and got us a travel cot as we had a 1 year old with us. Only thing was we found there was no shower gel or shampoo in the bathroom, we did bring our own so was no issue. The hosts gave us recommendations of local areas and restaurants nearby we went to the blue boar which was very lovely. Overall was a really nice weekend break!

Our group of 13 (seven adults, 5 children and a baby) had a really great time here! the surroundings are so peaceful and Fred and Charlotte were responsible and polite and the facilities were excellent for a "glamping" site it's really over and above! the huts warm up perfectly and the kitchen area is a perfectly laid out space to enjoy and share a good meal together! We'd happily come back here again. thank you so much Charlotte and Fred :)

The amenities, dining facilities and seating arrangements were absolutely perfect for four couples. Amazing views of the lake from the master bedroom, patio and lounge. We all loved it!

Fantastic stay at the Hayloft cottage. The beautiful private surroundings just outside of Stratford upon Avon town was perfect and kept immaculate. Wendy made us feel right at home and the place was snug and cosy for the 4 of us. Complimentary treats for valentines went down a treat and we loved the pool and hot tub experience which was all pristine and well organised. Thank you so much Wendy, already planning our next trip!

Lizzy's place was wonderful. We were only there for a weekend and I would love to go back for a longer stay. There was plenty of space and the hot tub was a bonus. The property is also close to some very pretty villages and towns - highly recommended!

We had a lovely stay at the cottage, it is provided with everything we needed and more, the location is excellent to explore the Cotswolds and Northleach is such a pretty village!

We had a lovely stay at Crucis Park Barn, it is in a beautiful setting with fantastic views, the barn was just perfect for a group of 8 people to get together for a celebration weekend.

This was booked a few weeks before we stayed and suited us to the ground. Bicester Village was the perfect place close by to get to Oxford by train. Easy to get to Blenheim Palace for their opening Christmas Weekend and Festival of illuminations. The Property had everything you could wish for, air Fryer, Washer, Dryer, Dishwasher, Fridge etc Christmas really did start early for as we were leaving with over an inch of snow on the Green and then 2 hours driving home in a Blizzard.

My family loved our stay at Old Forge. Our children— aged 4 and 7– had a blast running around the yard and having their own secluded room on the upper level. We all enjoyed the rustic wildlife decor and the lovely view of the field. The cottage was cozy yet spacious, and the kitchen was well-equipped. Make sure to get dinner at the local spot— The Golden Ball Inn! Stow was a very short drive away with plenty of nice shops and restaurants and a Tesco for our grocery needs. We didn’t end up getting a chance to walk the paths nearby, but we saw plenty of spots we could have done so— and with any luck someday we can return to Old Forge and get to walk around. I’d highly recommend Old Forge for anyone staying in the Cotswolds, esp with children!

A beautiful, quiet spot to stay- Julie is a great Hostess! Thanks Julie!

It was a lovely stay at a beautiful cottage. The cottage was everything we hoped for a little two day get away. We spent time on local walking footpaths and getting to know the local pubs. Our recommendations are; The Falcon, Ye Olde Reine Deer Inn and The Blinking Owl over the road. The owners of the Blinking Owl were lovely hosts, really traditional English pub and great food from Sylvia! We spent our New Years Eve there and it was a lovely evening. Couldnt have asked for a better stay. Mary was super helpful and responsive on the run up to the stay. We hope to visit again soon.

We’ve loved staying in the Old Chapel. It’s a beautiful building and the accommodation inside is superb. Jill was very responsive throughout the stay and had great recommendations. The surrounding area is very peaceful and is only a short drive from Chipping Campden. We would definitely recommend staying at Jill’s place and would love to visit again.

We wanted somewhere quiet and relaxing to go for a couple of days and the barn at Badsey was perfect. The space itself is lovely with a comfortable bed and powerful shower. The breakfast facilities (kettle, toaster etc) were enough for us as there were so many places to eat nearby for lunch and dinner. Our dog was pleased to be able to have a sniff around the garden.

We had the pleasure of staying at Scotland End Barn this weekend for a family celebration . The house is exactly as described and perfect for a family get together. Caroline provided a very useful list of local information including places to visit and eat and was quick to respond to any queries we had . Hook Norton is the perfect village to stay with a couple of pubs and a Brewery within a short walking distance. I would highly recommend this house, thank you Caroline.

Patricia's home is lovely, warm and cozy. We booked at the last minute so that our family could spend Christmas together. We appreciated the lovely welcome and provision of staples like milk, butter, tea, coffee, juice and also crusty bread. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook a full Christmas dinner with ease. Patricia had even gone to the trouble to decorate her home for Christmas for us, which was very special. We all enjoyed our time together there. It is a bonus to have a full bathroom and an extra toilet for a family, too. The setting in the park is peaceful and welcoming and there are nice walks around the woods and lakes; our dog loved it, too. This is a wonderful place to stay in every way and Patricia is a very thoughtful and accommodating host. Thank you!

Brilliant barn, land and location. The perfect stay for a get together with friends and really good value for money.

The perfect escape! Farahnaz and Paul are really helpful, very friendly and knowledgeable of the area. The Summerhouse is so secluded and cosy. it really is a proper escape from the "Busy Life" Shakurs on the corner is a great place to eat if you get the chance. Thanks again Farahnaz & Paul, We will be back.

We had a relaxing long weekend. The cottage was easy to find with parking. It had a lovely private fenced garden that allowed our two little dogs to wander. It was bright, airy, very clean, comfortable and warm. The wine was a lovely surprise on arrival thank you ☺️. It was home from home. It was very central to places to visit. With Didley squat farm shop and Chipping Norton only a 7 minute drive away. Thank you Nicky for making us feel welcome.

We had some well needed respite at Rosalind’s accommodation. It was spotless and had all the amenities we needed! The breakfast was a lovely addition (in particular the fresh baked bread!). The family are very friendly and helpful and made us feel right at home. I would highly recommend the accommodation particularly for a couple looking for some downtime!

We really enjoyed our stay, such a beautiful location and only a short drive away from the Cotswolds Water Park. The cottage is lovely with really unique original features (and also more modern comforts) whilst also being welcoming and cosy, we especially loved the log fires on the colder evenings. However, the main attraction for us was that it is such a dog friendly location and was ideal for bringing our dog Barney with us as it has hard floors throughout the downstairs and also has a secure, private garden solely used by the cottage.

We were a family party with ages from 5 to 75 . Lots for everyone to do ( swimming , tennis, billiards/snooker & beautiful walks all there) There was enough space both inside the wonderfully converted barn and outside in the extensive grounds to enjoy each others company without being overcrowded. Thanks Sarah for enabling a lovely weekend .
