Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Cotswolds

Barry was a great host and responded very quickly to all questions. The house was lovely and perfect for our family get together.

We couldn’t fault the accommodation. It was beautiful, even my 3 year old said as we walked through the front door. Zoe met us upon arrival after she had gone to the local town to purchase some local goods for us - fresh farm bought cows milk, homemade biscuits and crisps. It genuinely was home from home. Everything was made easy, clear instructions, lots of crockery and cutlery. Things we had bought from home but didn’t need them. Zoe literally had thought of everything. There were two different families staying in the house, both with children and the sleeping arrangements was perfect. The house layout was fab too. There is lots to do locally plus within a short drive even more. We would highly recommend Zoe’s place and would love to go back to explore even more of the area.

Lovely house in a beautiful village close to all restaurants and pubs. Everything we needed was in the property and we would definitely stay if in the area again. Highly recommended.

Perfectly located cottage in the centre of Bourton-on-the-Water. Clean and well equipped. Owner was very helpful and responsive. Fabulous works from the doorstep. Thank you for a great stay!

Jessie’s place was a real home from home and very well equipped. We really appreciated the welcome gifts and it was wonderful star gazing from the hot tub. The view from the terrace and upstairs balcony were beautiful.

We loved our stay in this stunning home! Two fab pubs just outside which had been recommended to us by the host, along with lots of other helpful tips. Parking wasn't too much of an issue for us, but be warned the village was quite crowded with tourists, even at this time of year. Didn't bother us too much but we weren't really expecting it! We loved the house and really loved that there were some logs left so that we could have a cosy fire in the log burner. Stairs are a bit of a death trap (this was to our amusement) but host had warned us about those so we were aware of what we were getting ourselves into! People with limited mobility would need to take this into account when booking. Really appreciated we were able to bring a dog too, and there were some lovely walks around the area, umbrellas and wellies were at the property which was also really helpful. Overall a really beautiful unique property, ideal for a cosy winter stay!

We had a fantastic stay — the house is absolutely beautiful, with a gorgeous lake view and everything we needed for a comfortable trip. It was a great base to explore the Cotswolds, and the location worked perfectly for that. Noel was always very kind and responsive. He allowed us an early check-in at 2pm when we asked, and was flexible when we needed to adjust the reservation to reduce one guest. If we had to mention anything, it would just be that the rooms get quite bright early in the morning, so blackout curtains might be a great addition. Also, while the 4pm check-in and 10am check-out times are becoming more common, they still feel a little tight — but that’s definitely not unique to this property. Overall, it’s a solid 5-star stay and we’d love to return!

Had a great time here. Great value and the host is wonderful and responsive.

Beautiful property with everything we could possibly want. Felt completely at home, lit the fire which was wonderful. Very spacious. Very clean. Lovely furnishings. Elizabeth was there to meet us and show us where everything was. Fabulous location. Would happily return

Really enjoy staying here. Very clean and has everything we need. It’s a nice quiet location too so very peaceful . Host is always helpful and responsive

First time in Bath, UK and Helen’s place was the perfect introduction to the city. Located across from the beautiful green park, just at the cusp of the beautiful city. Apartment was clean and warm. There was a book of very clear instructions that made the stay hassle free. Helen included local recommendations of places to visit and eat at. So convenient. Would definitely recommend to anyone wishing to visit bath! Great job Helen!

Another perfect stay at this amazing place. Peaceful but within walking distance of the city. We were lucky enough to have glorious weather with easy access to the Bath skyline walk. The Place is so beautifully appointed, it really is our favourite place to stay. Thank you, can’t wait to return.

Great place. Right in the middle of the city.

Cosy apartment. It’s the second time I’ve stayed. Beautiful surroundings and Richard is very accommodating and welcoming

Tasteful, civilised, comfortable. Julian's place has been beautifully and cleverly designed with the guest in mind. Little things, such as quality products and underfloor heating in the bathroom, make a big difference. The big things are fabulous too. Julian is helpful, efficient and friendly The location is excellent. In short, it's a bargain.

The apartment was fantastic. Beautifully decorated with everything we needed. Melissa was very helpful with check in details and when we asked any questions. Amazing location.

A wonderful stay at Sarah’s house! We had such a great time and the house was perfect for what we wanted. The grounds are stunning and the house has everything you need for a comfortable stay! Thanks again for a great weekend!

Many thanks for sharing your beautiful home with us so we could enjoy a wonderful long weekend. Upon arrival we received a welcome visit from James, who was very helpful and informative. The house was even better than we had expected and had everything we could have asked for. It comfortably fit 12 people. We thankfully had beautiful weather so made good use of the outdoor space and bbq. I will definitely be coming back and recommending this property to my friends and family. Thank you 🤩

Lovely place for a weekend. well equipped and plenty of crockery etc. Responsive when small issues encountered.

Oldbury Barn is in a lovely location in the countryside with great views (though tricky to find, so the 'what3words' helped a lot!). The house was nicely presented and lovely and clean. Plenty of pots, pans, mugs (!) utensils etc for a large family group. The open plan nature of the kitchen/diner/lounge is great for a multi generational family gathering like ours, as you are always all together in one huge room. However, note that its a tiled floor and there isn't much in the way of soft furnishings so noise echoes around a bit and can be heard from all bedrooms - but this is only a problem if you have very young kids going to bed early or getting up early! The 2 ground floor bedrooms are large and with lots of storage. The 2 upstairs bedrooms are small with very low ceilings and little storage - fine for kids but we were were 7 adults and one toddler, so that didnt work brilliantly for us . The "slight height restriction" in the description is quite an understatement!!

An excellent weekend was had to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary with family. The property had everything we needed and there were few issues. The weather was excellent and our grandchildren loved the hot tub, large gardens, pool table, badminton, table tennis which gave them many hours of enjoyment. There was plenty of opportunity for relaxing with the extensive book shelves and TVs in both properties. An ideal property for a multi generational gathering, very well equipped kitchen/bathrooms with copious crockery, glasses and cooking facilities as well as many towels. Highly recommended.

Percy has created a lovely home in an art deco building which accommodated 10 of us on a weekend get away for a 50th get together. Lots of room downstairs for socialising around the large kitchen space, lounge and lovely large dining room table. An expansive garden to enjoy in the right seasons and a balcony off one of the top floor bedrooms. The beds were amazingly comfortable with good mattresses and linen. The house is a short bus ride or about a 40 minute walk into Oxford City Centre and Percy provided many suggestions for good pubs and restaurants. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this as a great stay for a large family or group of friends.

There are hosts, there are super hosts and then there's Katie!! Everything was simply perfect, there were 10 family all together for a family Christening. Due to Katie's flexibility were could all check in when we arrived. Most handy when people are travelling from all over the country. Also, on the Sunday, the day of the Christening and our check out day, Katie helped us with late check out, allowing all the logistics of people and cars the time needed to get where we all needed without a ridiculously early start, which would have been dreadful after the party the day before! We all enjoyed the hot tub, the huge spaces, comfortable beds, luxurious bathrooms and well equipt kitched. Thank you Katie - you are a love.

It is in a lovely location, great views of the Malvern Hills, lots of good walks close by. Many good eating places not too far away. The Cow Shed is well equipped, with an excellent bathroom and shower, comfortable living area. The kitchen is a bit smaller than we would have liked, but it all worked really well. Nigel was very attentive, making sure we were comfortable. Our elderly spaniel enjoyed the space around and got on well with the two really friendly terrier residents! Will definitely revisit.
