Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Cotswolds

We have just had the most incredible stay at Nichola’s place for my sister’s hen do. From the moment we arrived, she was warm and welcoming and met us to show us around. She also came to say bye at the end of our stay and asked how we got on which was lovely. The house itself is amazing and somehow exceeded our expectations- the photos look brilliant but in person it is stunning! Would definitely recommend!

Stayed there during the weekend for a friends wedding just next door at Cornwell Manor. Beautiful cottage, very easy and quick communication with Julia, check-in extremely easy and so flexible. Julia very kindly didn't ask to leave at 11:00 sharp in the morning as per check-out deadline which was a lovely gesture since we had a pretty late night, so it was lovely to have a lay in in the super comfortable beds.

STUNNING accommodation, with everything we needed for our 1 night stay. The location was perfect for us, close to many towns and attractions. The bed was unreal, being the comfiest and biggest bed I've ever stayed in. The views from the room were absolutely beautiful, with working in the equine stud industry, I absolutely adored the horses around and appreciated the beautiful set up. 100% recommend this amazing Air BNB, and we cannot wait to visit again. Jenny was incredible with directions and sent over a very descriptive message regarding check in, which was extremely helpful. Loved our stay 💗

We loved the Little Forge! Such a nice cottage and would highly recommend for anyone after a peaceful Cotswolds getaway. Bledington is beautiful and the village pub on the green is only a 2 minute walk.

We loved our time in the Jasmine Cottage! After 5 busy days sight seeing in London, this was the perfect place to stay with our 8 and 5 year old sons to just relax and enjoy a slower paced few days. A 1 minute walk (at most) to the town shops, restaurant, and water. Everything looked exactly like the photos, the host was extremely responsive and helpful, and the location could not have been better. We already miss it and will look back fondly on our time at Jasmine Cottage for many years to come!

Modern apartment 10 minute walk from shops and restaurants. Street parking wasn’t a challenge. Communication with host was ok. We had a problem with the shower drain, and they fixed it within a few hours. Everything works properly. Bed was comfortable, but as with all airbnbs in UK/Europe, a bit small by US standards. The bathroom was cramped, and the shower was tiny. Seniors might find the shower a challenge. The stairs to the bedroom were narrow. Not difficult for climbing alone, but a bit of a challenge with luggage. In June with temps of about 18 degrees Celsius, the bedroom was comfortable despite lacking air conditioning, but I’m not sure how it would be in the heat, if it ever did get hot in the UK! In short, the place might pose challenges for seniors but is a good option for others.

We had a great 4 nights at Lucy’s. The garden is breathtaking, the pool lovely and a short walk takes you to the historic pub (complete with Morris Dancers). Lucy was very welcoming and friendly and the house comfortable and within easy travelling distance of some of the best parts of the Cotswolds. We would love to return. Thanks Lucy!

Absolutely beautiful location. We had a wonderful holiday and will definitely book again.

This property is in such a beautiful village, that we never wanted to leave! The space is bright and airy, w/everything needed to be comfy. There’s a binder w/everything you need to know, plus info about the 2 local pubs & dining options, etc. (Thurs. night at the Catherine Wheel is a MUST!). You won’t find anything remotely touristy in the village, which is why we loved it so, but it’s perfectly situated for easy drives to Bath, the Cotswolds, Diddly Squat Farm & The Farmer’s Dog (for Top Gear/Jeremy Clarkson fans), and so much more! Check out Soho Farmhouse in Chipping Norton for a truly fantastic outing! The Goat Shed has a double gate behind which you and your vehicle are safe and secure (although there’s no need for concern of that in Marshfield!). A grass lawn awaits your pet or children to play in, with zero risk of danger or escape. These 2 ladies from Canada and the U.S highly recommend a stay here (just bring a face cloth, as that was the only thing missing)!

My wife and I are hugely grateful for Jenny and her flat, in central Stratford, which was perfect for the shops and eating. The instructions provided everything we needed and more - and Jenny was immediately responsive and polite when I realised I'd not read them😬. The flat was immaculate and provided a great bolt hole for our touristy activities. Being RSC novices, we have resolved to return and hope to stay here again.

We loved our stay at The Old Post Office. Elizabeth was a great host and made us feel welcome and right at home. The location in Broadway can’t be beat and we would recommend Elizabeth’s home to anyone wanting a great base to explore the Cotswolds.

We had a wonderful two nights at Louise's and would have stayed longer had the apartment been free. Everything about the apartment was elegant, the street , the windows, height of ceiling, quality of the furnitiure, fixtures and fittings. The kitchen was have everything we needed. Check in and Check out was very simple using key box. The appartment is no more than 10mins from centre. There is no parking in the street but the Bath Cricket Club carpark was only 15mins away, we left our car there for all our stay, fees paid in advance.

A really lovely apartment, very clean with all the little extras. I loved the balcony and view. Excellent and easy parking. It is one of the best cottages I've stayed in with my two teenagers - there's a great chill out sofa but there was enough room to have our own space if needed. I've booked again for Aug it was that nice.

We absolutely loved this place and would both stay again and wholeheartedly recommend it to others. While five-star reviews on Airbnb are given out perhaps too freely these days, this is genuinely a property worth going out of your way for. The location strikes the perfect balance—centrally situated in the heart of the Cotswolds with convenient parking for those driving, yet just a pleasant 10-minute walk to downtown via a lovely walking path. What truly sets this place apart, however, is the exceptional attention to detail the host has put into every aspect of the stay. From thoughtful amenities to quality furnishings, this Airbnb includes those extra touches that separate it from the others. This is what a quality short-term rental should be. Stay here.

We loved this studio, it was so peaceful, beautiful views from every window. A private balcony and a garden to sit in. Janet was lovely, had made us a cake and there were lots of thoughtful touches. Generous hosts. We were only there for 2 nights and it rained so we went to Stratford (easy journey) but I would have loved to explore the area more, saw a barn owl and a deer with her fawn. Pub a lovely stroll away. It's a real place to unwind. We will definitely be back

It’s our 2nd time staying and won’t be our last! Carol and Richard are the perfect hosts and we are so pleased to have found this gem. It’s a great location for exploring the city and an absolutely beautiful flat, so thoughtfully designed with lots of special touches. Would highly recommend.

Was a great check in with John who gave clear instructions and a brief intro to the apartment. It’s an historic building nestled in a beautiful secluded spot but immediately accessible to Stroud including a walkable supermarket. We were treated to a brass band on Sunday morning from the park bandstand opposite! Comfortable and cosy interior perfect for our short stay. John was the perfect gentleman and host

Victoria's property is exquisitely decorated and furnished throughout. The location is perfect for a short stroll into the town centre and access to the disused railway walking trail opposite. The living room is large and very light and airy with a high ceiling. Although at first floor level, the back door opens out onto a lovely enclosed garden. Ideal for our dog. Above all, we were very surprised as to how peaceful and quiet the location was. Thoroughly recommend it, couldn't have wished for any more, Victoria had thought of everything.

A great place to stay to explore Upton and the surrounding areas. Apartment is great in a central location right in town, easy walk to anywhere in Upton. Carola and Rick were great hosts, good clear instructions and helpful information. Apartment was spotless (thank you to their housekeeper Emma), and would highly recommended both the Regency Apartment and Carola and Rick as hosts.

Rachel and David’s place was absolutely gorgeous. It was very light and airy and had everything required for our stay. Parking was easy and it was within walking distance to beautiful Bourton on the Water and within close driving to other gorgeous Cotswold towns and attractions. There were plenty of recommendations for places to eat and attractions to visit. The walk to Upper Slaughter was a standout We had a fabulous stay. Highly recommended

Great stay! Perfect for our road trip - quiet, clean and near to the shops and some food! Really nice flat, and had a lovely greeting message on the board when we came in! Love it!

Great location, just over Pulteney Bridge so nice and quiet at nighttime but very easy to walk over to the main attractions during the day. Lots of great restaurants etc. very close by too. The apartment itself is impressive! The scale is larger than the photos, all very spaced out with lots of room. The design is great and everything was spotless. The kitchen had amenities to be able to cook at home. Great window coverings to allow complete blockout at night, however also allowed through flow of air during the day. As advertised, it is upstairs, so something to note. We were made aware there were renovation works on the apartment upstairs, however they were all conducted in normal construction hours and we barely heard any noise. Overall, peaceful and so enjoyable, we would stay here again and highly recommend it.

We spent a weekend at Claire's and had a lovely time. The place is as described and a perfect location for a stroll into Broadway and for exploring the Cotswold's. Would highly recommend

I was sad to leave! Lucinda’s place is fabulous - I felt right at home. Everything about her place exuded peace and comfort. Easy access to wonderful restaurants and darling shops. Lovely to just walk around Tetbury as well as easy access to Kemble train station where my colleague and I took day trips to Oxford and Bath. The bathroom was spotless and I took a bath every night in that wonderful tub. I wasn’t traveling with children, but Lucinda’s place is set up for children - books, high chair, toys - all lovely. I hope to go back!
