Waterfront vacation rentals in Oxford

Vicky and Jake were there to meet us and were very helpful with instructions on how to use heating and appliances within the apartment, we got good helpful advice on the local area and were made very welcome. Lots of little extras to help us feel at home and it was an extremely comfortable place to come back to and relax after a long day at the races or on the tourist trail. We would definitely consider using the apartment again in future visits to Cheltenham.

Absolutely perfect spot to explore town/ places of interest. Peaceful and safe location. Ideal parking. As described. Everything needed for a long weekend stay. Quick response to messages over left item and arrange to forward on 🙂

My friend and I had an absolutely wonderful time at Lucy and Mark’s. It is a great little apartment in a beautiful area! Everything is well within walking distance (colleges, shops, restaurants etc.) We felt completely welcomed into their home! And their dogs were truly the sweetest! Thanks for a wonderful stay!

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!

Thank you, we had a lovely stay in Oxford. It was a short walk to the center, with a nice walk by the river. The apartment was well equipped, clean, great beds. Bujar was very responsive and an excellent host.

Fantastic location in central Oxford was top, easily within walking distance of all of the points of interest in central Oxford, including restaurants, pubs, and supermarkets. Communication with Mariano was also good—he was very responsive to questions and provided detailed instructions for arrival and check-in. We arrived by car and had no problems finding the parking lot, however the parking space was quite small, which only just accommodated our mid-sized rented SUV. The unit is located on a busy road, however traffic was generally quite quiet during the night and we had no trouble. Overall, perfect apartment for a short stay to visit the university and central Oxford.

This is a secret hideaway - in the top of a Victorian house overlooking the river Thames. A beautiful garden with access to the river and a short walk to Boulter’s Lock and The Boathouse. A lovely find tucked away in a beautiful neighbourhood. Thoroughly recommend.

I liked my stay here and I would recommend it. Ian is professional and responsive. Thanks

We had a wonderful stay at Waddle On Inn overlooking the lake. The house was very clean, comfortable and well equipped. The location is fabulous and perfect for exploring the Cotswolds or having a relaxing break. Five star. Thank you so much xx

An absolutely beautiful Airbnb with such a serene and calm atmosphere. The Airbnb being right on the lake was the highlight. The area is gated and secured too. It's worth noting that two of the single beds are led upstairs in the bunk bed room, so was ideal for children, maybe not so much adults. Otherwise, it was a smooth stay & the welcome treats were humbly welcomed. Will definitely be coming back & recommending!

We had an excellent stay at the rainbow lodge. It was even better than we expected! the lodge was immaculate, spacious and had stunning views of the lake. We also utilized the on site play park and took walks around the lake. We stayed as 2 couples with 2 young children and had plenty of space and everything we needed.

Such a wonderful location with use of the lake for paddleboarding and sailing……. Property was brilliant and well presented. Kate was always on hand to answer any questions and very responsive. Would be more than happy to return again.

Lovely home, beautifully furnished. View of the River Thames from the upstairs terrace, particularly in the evening, really made it special. Peaceful place to sit and unwind with a nice glass of wine or just read a book listening to the birds and watching the families of ducks. Thank you, Rebecca we have a lovely short-break.

Just got home from 2 nights at the stables celebrating my mums birthday. Absolutely brilliant, lots to do and felt very at home. Would definitely go back and Sarah couldn’t have been more helpful. We created great memories - thank you!

The hose was absolutely gorgeous, we were a group of work colleagues there to compete in a triathlon nearby and we were delighted with only being 6minutes away especially as it was a very early start. Everyone was super happy with the location and the property so thanks

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.

Perfect for our first holiday with 7 month old baby. Everything was exactly as described and Jane was a fantastic host, from replying quickly to any questions we had before our visit to checking everything was okay with check in and our stay. The location is amazing with somewhere to eat a 5 min walk away, a spa/pool another 5 min walk away, activities and walks on the doorstep too. Travel cot and highchair included which was brilliant as meant less for us to pack and bring with us. We did have an issue where the fan stopped working but Jane swapped it for a new one within an hour of us contacting her regarding it which we really appreciated as it was used in the babies room. Stress free and relaxing break. Thank you Jane.

Beautiful home, perfect place to stay. The garden is absolutely amazing. Claire Marie was very welcoming, made us feel at home. Went out of her way to ask if we needed anything. Generally a lovely, friendly host. I would highly recommend to stay here. Everything was perfect and it made our weekend.

The Hideaway was perfect for our stay. Very clean and modern with ample storage in the bedroom. We found the information provided on places to visit and where to eat very useful along with helpful instructions on how to access the lake from the accommodation. The patio doors from the living area do overlook the owners garden but the beautiful view of the lake more than compensates. There is a private courtyard area with seating to the left of the entrance for guests who require more privacy. All in all a very relaxing place to stay after a busy day exploring as well as lovely walks on your doorstep. We would be more than happy to return.

Cozy and clean, perfect location to explore London and Windsor as Sunnymeads train station is only a few minutes walk away. The George steakhouse is 20 minutes walk, well worth a visit, friendly staff and lovely food. Welcome basket left by Linda was a lovely touch. We would definitely recommend and hope to return next time we want to visit the area.

We had a short stay of only two nights and didn’t really get around to using the many amenities provided, but never felt we lacked for anything that we did need. House and bed were comfortable, bathroom shower fixtures were easy to work. Good stay.

oh my goodness what a position actually on the River Thames. It was perfect for my 93 year old mother as no stairs to climb. Accurately described, a little rustic. Great communication replying in a few minutes. Feel very lucky to have stayed at Waters Edge.

Our host Evie was very friendly, flexible and helpful. The property was perfect for our central Oxford stay - literally a minute's walk to Westgate Shopping Centre and many bars and restaurants. The beds were extremely comfortable and the apartment had everything we needed including easy car parking. Thanks for a fab stay! :-)

Loved most the beautiful and serene setting, right by the river but still very close to the city center (8 minutes walk to Christ church, for instance)
