House vacation rentals in Cowley, Oxfordshire

We had a lovely Easter weekend here as a three-generation family – grandparents, parents, and young children all thoroughly enjoyed it! The house is absolutely beautiful , stylish, and full of character, set in a peaceful spot, it even includes an old water-mill. The location was ideal for us with easy access to Oxford and the surrounding area. There’s a new children's play area just a short walk away, and the local farm shop nearby was perfect for picking up fresh produce and treats – we had everything we needed without having to go far. The hosts were thoughtful and welcoming, and the house was spotless with everything we could need for a comfortable stay. Plenty of space for everyone to relax.

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.

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!

We stayed for just one night, and it was a perfect stopover. Very tidy and had everything we needed. Georgina is very friendly, she gave us some milk too when we realised we forgot some. They've got two lovely dogs, a gorgeous garden and a very spacious bath. Georgina was very flexible with our check-out time since there were no guests the next day. We left around 1pm. Thank you Georgina :)

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.

Amazing Stay at Goose Farm – A Hidden Gem! I had an incredible stay at Goose Farm! From the moment we arrived, the peaceful surroundings and stunning countryside views took our breath away. The property was impeccably clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The hosts were exceptionally welcoming and went above and beyond to make us feel at home. The farm itself is a dream for nature lovers. We enjoyed watching the animals, taking serene walks around the grounds, and soaking up the tranquil atmosphere. The location was perfect—secluded enough to feel like a real retreat, yet close to nearby villages and attractions for day trips. I can’t recommend Goose Farm highly enough for anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle

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.

Our group of 8 adults had a great weekend here. The house is ideal for a large group. The kitchen and dining area flow well into the living area. The only thing to note is there is only one proper shower in the house. This is in the en-suite not the main bathroom. The kitchen is well equipped and we were very impressed with the very generous welcome basket of goodies ! This included Prosecco, milk, eggs bread and more ! Thank you !

Great house, very spacious and well equipped. The garden is lovely, big and ideal for barbecues in the summer. Set in a quiet village with a pub serving great food just over the road.

Great stay. Very convenient location. Lovely cost cottage style house

Lovely, spotlessly clean, peaceful house and clearly a lot of care had been put into details. Check-in was straightforward and Leima gave great instructions. Bedrooms were comfortable and spacious and it was great to have an ensuite in every one! The kitchen was well equipped and the toys in the living room were very welcome! The graveled garden has plenty of seating and great for the children to let off steam. Had been concerned about toddlers on gravel, but it had the distinct advantage of not being muddy after a shower of rain! The neighbourhood is quiet and the house is in easy walking distance to a small supermarket and playground. Laima is a lovely host, she responded quickly and was always very helpful. Highly recommend this house!

excellent accomadation

Superbly located - we will definitely book again! Thank you

Had a great stay at Maria's very cosy accommodation whilst we were visiting family in Oxford. Great location for the city centre. Beautiful house very spacious and modern and the beds are so comfy. Will definitely stay again. Used a number of places over the years in Oxford but this was one of our favourites.

This was a very clean and comfortable place to stay with our own private garden. Lovely surroundings. James was a very friendly and helpful host. We asked for a couple of things and he sorted them out immediately. Our group enjoyed their stay very much and would happily go there 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!

Clear communication, tidy place with everything you needed. A great place for the last leg of our trip! Thanks!

A lovely spacious house which is clean and well equipped. The location is peaceful but with good transport links. Ideal for Banbury and Bicester etc

Peter’s property was ideal for us in between selling our home and moving abroad, and he even accommodated our five pets which was brilliant and more than you could hope for with a usual air BnB property. Peter was easy to communicate with and very helpful. We were so pleased and would definitely stay again if we are even in the area!

The cottage is peaceful and private, as well as being in a beautiful location. Alastair and Vicky are excellent hosts and were most responsive to my requests. Highly recommended.

Lovely hosts who were on hand to answer every question that we had as guest. Kitchen was super clean and had so much room. The garden was very big. There are barbecue facilities and Jacuzzi and it was absolutely lovely and we will definitely be booking there again hopefully sometime soon. Thank you so much to the hosts

Amy was very quick to respond, shared with us instructions way before the trip. The place looks just like the pictures and you get sun in the garden for pretty much most of the day!

Katie house was perfect for our week in Oxford, we know the area well and the house was a perfect refuge for a day of walking around the town. Clean, spacious and everything worked. Plus Kathie made sure we were welcome properly!! Definitely recommend!!

All fine. Accommodation was clean and well present. Watch out for the very low doorframe upstairs - I'm over 190cm tall and it was up to my shoulder.
