Family-friendly holiday rentals in Runnymede District

We had a wonderful Christmas week at Flagpole Cottage. The hosts' home was clean, welcoming and extremely well-equipped. We had everything necessary for preparing family feasts, having a wood fire, plenty of bathrooms and comfortable beds. Robin and Francine even left a beautifully decorated real Christmas tree for us the enjoy (and put our presents under), a very thoughtful touch. We enjoyed the hot tub and trampoline (we were lucky with the weather, cold but not rainy) as well as the local walks to pubs. We bought our Christmas turkey (ordered in advance) at the fabulous Flower Farm shop, which is nearby and is a great source for all things edible. Robin and Francine's guide to local amenities and activities is thorough and quite useful. Robin was very attentive and open to queries but everything was so clearly laid out we didn't really have any questions. One last thing - the gardens are exceptional - even in December! I was in awe - especially the topiary. The old yew trees! xx

Reggie is by far one of the most attentive, helpful, and kind hosts I’ve ever encountered. His exceptional hospitality truly exceeded my expectations and made my stay unforgettable. I was genuinely surprised—in the best way—by how thoughtful and accommodating he was. Thank you so much, Reggie!

We had an absolutely fantastic stay inside Betty. It was extremely accurately described. We felt at home straight away by the facilities onboard. The view in the morning was fantastic, being woken up by cockerel was a lovely reminder of being in the countryside. The perfect break to wind down and relax. We were lucky with the weather mostly which made it even more magical. The lights around the outside at night was a lovely touch. The bathroom was delightful, with the underfloor heating working at all times. I’m sure we will back to see Betty. Would recommend to everyone.

Carol Anne and Kelly were great hosts, kind and helpful. The apartment was very nice, equipped with everything we needed and very comfortable. The location is excellent, very close to the subway and buses, the neighborhood is great. We had a great time, thaks a lot.

Debbie was a great host with a great place. We had some hiccups brought on by ourselves, and Debbie was immediately able to help and responded to our inquiries quickly and took great care of us. An above and beyond host. The stay was greatly placed right near kings cross station, making everything in London easily accessible. Great atmosphere surrounding the stay. Would stay again!

Absolute lovely place in a quiet area of London. The flat is exactly as described and it has everything you need for a short or long stay. Totally recommended, would love to come back!

We had a fantastic stay! The apartment was clean, cosy and exactly as described. The location was perfect – quiet, yet close to everything we needed. Janet was a wonderful host: friendly, helpful and easy to reach. The bedrooms were comfortable, and we really enjoyed relaxing in the whirlpool after long days out. We’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area. Thank you, Janet!

Lovely host, responsive to any questions and left us to get on with our weekend - perfect. The Cabin is well appointed, everything we needed. The hot tub was wonderful! Thank you Clare!

Beautiful home and a lovely stay. It was spotlessly clean with all the amenities provided, TV with various subscriptions, a cosy bedroom and access to the garden and fields. Very good communication with the hosts and easy check in. A lovely touch was fresh eggs provided and milk in the fridge to help myself to. I was cycling and this was a perfect country stay to rest and recover. 5* :)

Tracey's place was perfect for ourselves, our daughter and two dogs. A surprisingly private and peaceful location, yet within easy reach of facilities, pubs, restaurants and (important for us) Newbury Show-ground. Comfortable, well appointed and presented accommodation, with a generous welcome pack. Great for our dogs too, with a secure outdoor area. Would definitely be happy to come again. Thanks.

We had a wonderful long w/e stay at The Dairy whilst attending our sons wedding, the accommodation was extremely comfortable and well equipped, as the weather was warm and sunny we certainly made the most of the garden, eating out and grandchildren running about. There is a great, easy walk through the fields to a good pub on the river and the village of Elstead. Beth was incredibly kind and helpful, even sorted out a few of our wedding preparation problems - we thoroughly recommend The Dairy.

Hannah was attentive to our last minute needs. Apartment is in a great location next to the park and walking distance of Kingston town Center.

Jenny was an amazing host, greeted us on arrival and gave a brief but informative run down. The surroundings and location is beautiful, felt right at home and at one with the peaceful natural surroundings, watching the ducks, dragonflies and various species of birds by the stream you can lookout the doors from the living room was amazing. Local pub requires booking if you want food but is only a 5minute walk. Beautiful nature trails on the doorstep. Reading 20minute drive Pangbourne 10minute drive, would advise going to the swan pub. Overall we loved our stay and would love to return, really good value for money for what you get and a high end finish

Thank you Liz for a great stay- you were super helpful and we loved spending time in the lovely barn

Such a lovely home, we didn't want to leave! Hosts were excellent communicators and also very warm and kind people. Loved our walks along the canal and peaceful surroundings. We will be back!

Cannot say enough good things about Alison's place and Alison as a host. The place is exactly as described, immaculately presented and spotlessly clean, it was absolutely ideal for my Mum and I to get our heads down when visiting family in the area for the weekend. My dog came too and felt right at home. The little touches, such as milk, cereal etc, and the personalised welcome note and such detailed instructions made our stay easy and effortless. Couldn't have asked for more and will definitely stay again!

A little gem of a place! Don't let the exterior fool you! It's homely, peaceful and just a home from home once you are through the door with a cuppa in hand and slumped on the sofa! I could of hapilt stayed for weeks! The flat is within walking distance to Battersea Park (5 minute walk) and Chelsea (15-20 minute walk) which was perfect for my solo trip to see Chelsea in bloom. There are some great free parking spots local to the flat which is great if you plan on coming by car! The area felt safe and welcoming and I had no issues walking to and from the flat even quite late at night. The bus stop is round the corner and takes you to all the great spots in central London! The highlights from my stay were being welcomed by a beautiful bottle of red wine, the amazing shower that I struggled to get out of as it was just so relaxing and the ambience of busy London in the background whilst I read my book next to the fire wrapped in a blanket! I will definitely be back!

Fantastic stay, hosts were brilliant and went out way to make me feel welcome, lovely to have use of the pool, nice walk from streathem station over the common and lovely neighbourhood, highly recommend

We had an amazing stay at Karen and Phil’s cottage. We didn’t get to meet Karen, however she sent us regular messages making sure we were comfortable/to ask if we needed anything. Phil was extremely friendly and available if we needed anything. He even taught my daughter how to walk a tight rope! On top of this we played tennis, had a swim in the outdoor pool and went for a lovely walk. The cottage was spotless with a beautiful garden, surroundings and extremely comfortable beds. We really felt that they had thought of everything you would need, especially if you have young children. My daughter loved playing with the bricks, the talking cactus and reading the books. Thank you so much for your hospitality! 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.

Emma was very welcoming as we arrived. She showed us around and gave us perfect advice on how to get into town. The cabin was perfect for a weekend away. We found a swing attached to the trees and had great fun. The bed was like a cloud and the kitchen had everything you need. Would recommend to family and would stay again.

A home from home - ideal for either a short or long stay. Exceptionally well equipped, with everything you might need. Very clean and comfortable, in a delightful and secure and private setting. Rebecca was very welcoming and on hand if we needed anything. The best Airbnb we've stayed in and would definitely return when we are next in the West Sussex area.

Ali's place was perfect, a quiet oasis in a really nice area, we loved the local park, markets and great restaurants and it was all within walking distance or easy tube/bus ride of our favourite parts of London. Ali's home is relaxing and clean and as a host she was responsive and timely with very detailed instructions that made our life easy. Would love to stay again thanks Ali...

Quiet, relaxing and in a great location .
