House holiday rentals in Cowley, Oxfordshire

The most amazing weekend in the most beautiful house! We loved every second of our weekend. So much to do including the swimming pool, games room, tennis courts and lovely walks. Spotlessly clean throughout. We can't recommend this house enough. Stunning property. Anne was so lovely and let us arrive a little earlier to put food in the fridge on a very hot day. She also extended our checkout time which gave us extra time in the lovely grounds. We are already planning a return trip. Thank you Anne. Wonderful weekend.

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 had a fantastic stay at Ingleby Retreat! The property was clean, peaceful, and beautifully maintained — exactly as described. The surroundings were stunning and the facilities (especially the pool and kitchen) were perfect for a relaxing getaway. Amber was a wonderful host — very responsive, thoughtful, and welcoming. We really appreciated the attention to detail and the smooth check-in process. Thank you for such a lovely experience — we’d definitely love to come back again. Highly recommended!

Beautiful place to stay for a long weekend! Georgina was really lovely, a great host and very quick to respond. We wish we could've stayed longer to enjoy the pool and beautiful garden!

We had a lovely time at Sarah's place. It's as the photos suggest and is in a very peaceful surrounding. The barn is next to Sarah's family home, but the way it is oriented means you get plenty of privacy. Thank you for letting us in to your home. We all had a lovely quality time with friends.

A beautiful, peaceful spot, and a comfy, stylish and immaculately clean property. Highly recommend

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.

86 Valentia is a fabulous place and Alan & Wanlin were so quick to respond and so helpful!! The place is easy to walk to and from Oxford and all we wanted to do and was far enough out of the way we had privacy and quiet!! What a great place!!!

Nice play to stay when visiting Oxford, great backyard if you have kids or just want to enjoy the weather.

I have nothing but good things to say about this place. The garden is so relaxing and beautiful. It backs up to South Park. The host was communicative and accommodating. The place was just so comfortable and beautiful. It felt like home.

Clean, good accommodation as advertised. The " Pass The Keys®" service sent us messages letting us know how everything was organised. Didn't use the outside but it looked fun if the weather was better.

Our family travels to Oxford fairly regularly and this was by far our favorite stay! The home itself is beautifully appointed and exudes Oxford charm. Every space is well thought out, cozy, and efficient. The garden is exquisite—elegantly landscaped and neatly kept. The roses were in full bloom when we arrived in late May and the most fragrant I have encountered! The location is equally superb. The immediate vicinity is extremely peaceful with lovely neighbors and right around the corner are some of the best pubs, restaurants, and cafes that Oxford has to offer. Immense thanks to Annick and her team for a lovely visit! We hope to return again soon.

Wonderful stay in wonderful space

Great house, conveniently located for trips into Oxford by bus. Close to nice river walks. 3 good-sized bedrooms, lovely garden and well equipped kitchen.

Katie is an excellent host, the property was spotless; just as described in every fashion, the location is excellent, a lovely 40~ minute stroll down the nearby cycle path puts you right into the heart of Oxford, thanks for hosting us Katie. 😄

Nice house in Abingdon will close to city center

It’s a beautiful and quite space that everyone of us enjoyed very much. Oxford is a small town and every spot is within walking distance, great experience and we definitely recommending to friends.

Thyme Cottage is a little gem of a place. The pictures really don't do it justice - it is so cute. We stayed here as we had two nights at Nocturne Festival which was just 10 minutes away so super convenient for this. In terms of the house itself its one of the nicest Airbnb i have stayed in, every little detail so well thought through. it was a super hot day when we arrived but the cottage remained cool and Alison even changed the duvet to a lighter tog for us. It was squeaky clean, lovely little touches like super nice bath robes, 100 acres amenities, a beautiful little garden to sit in which we made plenty of use of , bed was super comfortable and parking was right outside. The interior design of the house was second to none, kitchen well stocked and one of the best showers i have encountered in an Airbnb. Alison is an amazing host, gave recommendations and answered as soon as we messaged. I would definitely stay there again and recommend to all prospective new guests. 10/10.

Overshot was a perfect place for our group to relax after visiting Blenheim Palace. The bedrooms are spacious and plenty of bathrooms for us all. Generous outdoor space, although the weather meant we didn’t make the most of it. Ruth was a great host and very helpful & responsive.

Clementine Cottage is perfectly located, a short walk to Woodstock or Blenheim Palace, and close to all the delights of the Cotswolds and Oxford. The cottage has been tastefully restored and decorated, with all the facilities for a very comfortable stay. We stayed as four adults and the cottage had everything we needed, clean, well maintained and good value. Nice touches all around made it a home from home feel. We will look to stay again.

We stayed at Linda's house for 6 nights and can only say positive things about the accommodation and the hosts. The house is very well maintained and clean. You can tell that the hostess thinks of everything her guests might need. We were greeted with a welcome card and left fruit, biscuits, coffee, tea and everything we needed so we didn't have to run to the supermarket when we arrived. The neighbourhood has everything within 5-10 minutes walking distance and is a safe and pleasant area. You can walk to the centre in about 45 minutes or take the bus from the bus stop at the corner of the house. To the neighbours, we didn't even hear you. All in all everything was perfect! Highly recommended!

Jane and her husband what lovely, attentive and responsive hosts who made us feel welcome and at home for the weekend. The property is beautifully decorated and felt so cosy, there is ample parking, and - there's chickens! We even received some homegrown eggs as a leaving gift. Highly recommend!

OMG, I don’t have the adjectives to describe this trip! I booked it for myself, my husband and our dog & it was pure perfection. Lesley was helpful as anything, gave a list of local recommendations and the easiest check in/out instructions. It was clean, fresh bedding and location was PERFECT for where we needed (within a half hour drive of all the tourist spots we wanted to visit). Lesley let us bring our dog, left a card for us and a towel/bag of treats for the dog just in case he wanted a swim in the canal. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Amazing host, wonderful location and just 5*s all round from me! Thanks for a wonderful stay Lesley ❤️
