Family-friendly vacation rentals in Cowley, Oxfordshire

We thoroughly enjoyed the house and location. Although not Sians issue, construction near the train station makes it difficult to get into town by taxi because you have to go around the city. However, if you don’t mind walking and bicycling, there are exceptional bike and walking paths right out to the house from Oxford. I’d stay again in a heart beat.

We had a lovely and comfortable stay at Liz's house. She has been very kind and really helped us enjoy our stay at her place. House was clean, communication fluent and the garden is amazing. Our kids loved playing the toys in the house

Great host and wonderful place to stay. Had a really relaxing time and loved the fire pit and wood-fired hot tub. Would definitely stay again.

Absolutely stunning place to stay, we didn't want to come home. Everything was so well thought out, so many helpful and lovely touches to make your stay enjoyable. The home itself was beautifully furnished, cosy, a dream little getaway. The games room was so much fun, the hot tub is pure luxury with a stunning view, we honestly couldn't have wished for more, would highly recommend staying here and we will definitely be back. Thank you Abi and family for sharing your wonderful farm with us for the weekend.

Johnathon and Jenny were both great hosts, communication was brilliant, the hut was cosy well looked after and inviting plus the bonus of the hot tub that was heaven. All in all I’d thoroughly recommended this place to anyone.

Fabulous stay, lovely location! Very peaceful, everything we needed was provided. Lovely touch that the hot tub was heated prior to our arrival and a birthday banner had been put up for our stay! Also booked the double red duke on their recommendation and it was lovely! Hosts were responsive and helpful but also left us to enjoy our break! We will be back to stay again!

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 wonderful week, great for the family. Perfect location to get around the Cotswolds and the hot tub was a real hit with my kids. Thank you again, we will be back!

Maggie's place was a beautiful home base to explore Oxford from. Her home was immaculate and so gorgeous - we were sad to leave! Thanks for an excellent stay x

The Narrow Boat was conveniently located in the center of town near a car park, where Alan met us. After getting detailed instructions of how to operate the boat, we thoroughly enjoyed our time. There was plenty of room for our party or five and we were equally charmed by the Narrow Boat and the city of Oxford. We found the Narrow Boat a good value and hope to return in the future.

excellent accomadation

The cottage was beautiful and the decor and furniture all very tasteful and the overall effect was homely. It is in a lovely location on the village green and within easy access to lots of places to visit as well as Oxford. We had a lovely relaxing visit. Would highly recommend Gardeners Cottage.

Lovely stay at Tim's place with my hubby Lee and our pooch Huxley. The lodge was very peaceful, warm and comfortable. And the new railway sleeper bed is fab! Tim and his co-host Paulina were good hosts, we had one small issue with the wifi, which they worked to resolve very quickly. Lovely welcome items waiting for us, which was a great touch. I work in the area quite often and wouldn't hesitate to book Tim's space again in the future.

We had a lovely stay - the cottage was a good size and it was very peaceful. It was a great base to explore Stowe, Bletchley Park and Waddesdon Manor, with delightful villages all around. Lovely countryside walks from the cottage too.

Overall, accommodation was great and everything went well. Things that I would like to point out. List of amenities these things are not correct. 1. Carbon monoxide alarm for the fireplace. The bedroom is not operational which is a hazard. 2. Coffee machine was not there. We asked and we were kindly given a jar instant coffee. 3. Outdoor to dining area doesn't exist. there is ourdoor furniture but not a dining area. 4. Outdoor kitchen doesn't exist either. They are correct, there is a BBQ as mentioned on the amenities , but that is not a outdoor kitchen. 5. I understand there is no Wi-Fi available. Which would I was okay with as I have 50GB of data. What I was not aware is that the location is in a virtually a signal dead zone there was one spot that we had to go to , if we wanted to receive our Whats-App messages. I would see this as an important thing to mention to people. Lastly , we had the lovely couple who lived at the corner who were available when we needed to ask questions.

Great place to stay. Looks even better in real life compared to the photos. Vanessa was lovely and met me and my dogs upon arrival. The little additions of food that she left for us were great, and the garden was just perfect for my dogs. We will definitely come back if we are ever in the area again. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Fantastic location, would definitely recommend and stay again!

The house was lovely, had everything you could possibly think of for a comfortable stay. We stayed with three kids (one baby) and it was just perfect. Our kids LOVED the pool (super warm and Just right for the kids) and the games room. The welcome basket was amazing and super generous- best gift ever!

Nicky was a great host and the house was very clean, well kitted out and a lovely relaxing place to stay. My girls loved the tennis court and we would definitely visit again.

The barn is beautiful and very well fitted out. Fabulous setting, absolutely stunning and super peaceful and quiet. The one bathroom was challenging at times with a party of adults but the rest of the barn is faultless and such a joy to stay in. The tennis court and other amenities were fabulous.

I’d like to thank gardener Rex for answering all my questions throughout my stay. Without you Rex, it could have been tricky to communicate. Anyway, I and my family had a good time at Christopher’s place. It’s a place for both peaceful break or active sporting time. Great garden for a calm walk throughout a day, great pool with a hammam(a steam sauna), a tennis court…my family really enjoyed all the facilities. Also kitchen was really well equipped and a welcome bread and milk were delicious! Location was also great. Famous Cotswold big name spots, restaurants, farm markets are within 20 min by car.
