Family-friendly vacation rentals in Bicester

Was a lovely few relaxing days for a big birthday. The accommodation was very well furnished and very comfortable - could have spent longer here.

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.

An idyllic weekend away in a beautiful location. Peaceful and absolutely perfect! Just what we needed. The hut was just amazing.

Our stay at Lower Nill was so lovely! The hut is so well equipped, very cosy with some lovely touches. We really enjoyed the wood fire hot tub and the pizza oven! Jonathan and Jenny were both so helpful, helped us get the pizza oven going and the hot tub and were just generally really lovely! The farm is really quiet, nice to walk around. Slightly chilly time of year but we managed to get that winter sun one day, and with a coat and the fire pit going it’s lovely!!

Fantastic stay at the Hayloft cottage. The beautiful private surroundings just outside of Stratford upon Avon town was perfect and kept immaculate. Wendy made us feel right at home and the place was snug and cosy for the 4 of us. Complimentary treats for valentines went down a treat and we loved the pool and hot tub experience which was all pristine and well organised. Thank you so much Wendy, already planning our next trip!

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!

Grrat couple of days in the Cotswolds. Stephanie was a fantastic host and the house had everything that we needed. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a group stay.

Great place, host is amazing very good communication and was friendly and helpful. Would come back. AMAZING

A cosy little spot in a great location, nicely decorated and peaceful. A few doors down for the Wheatsheaf which is a really good pub, and a short walk from the square which has a great coffee shop, wine bar, pub and useful shops. There is a little play park further on for those with kids and Northleach is a good place to explore the area from.

Enjoyed a 2 night stay at the Old Forge. The cottage was exactly as described by Lindsay. Communication was excellent and there were clear instructions from the hosts. We enjoyed the light and airy living area, a very comfortable bed and well equipped kitchen. The cottage was warm and there was plenty of hot water. The outside space was beautifully kept. I looked at all of the rentals in this area before booking and this was competitively priced and well located for exploring the area. Look forward to staying again the next time we visit the Cotswolds.

Lovely peaceful cottage in a beautiful village. Easy to get to other villages in the Cotswolds such as Bourton-on-the-Water. We went primarily for a quiet restaurant and it provided that.

It was a lovely stay at a beautiful cottage. The cottage was everything we hoped for a little two day get away. We spent time on local walking footpaths and getting to know the local pubs. Our recommendations are; The Falcon, Ye Olde Reine Deer Inn and The Blinking Owl over the road. The owners of the Blinking Owl were lovely hosts, really traditional English pub and great food from Sylvia! We spent our New Years Eve there and it was a lovely evening. Couldnt have asked for a better stay. Mary was super helpful and responsive on the run up to the stay. We hope to visit again soon.

We’ve loved staying in the Old Chapel. It’s a beautiful building and the accommodation inside is superb. Jill was very responsive throughout the stay and had great recommendations. The surrounding area is very peaceful and is only a short drive from Chipping Campden. We would definitely recommend staying at Jill’s place and would love to visit again.

Very cozy, comfortable, beautiful house. Lovely walks nearby, especially for dogs. Very friendly hosts. Thoroughly recommended

Cosy and quiet cottage, beautifully and stylishly restored and furnished. A perfect bolt hole for our one night stay with our dog. Sam met us on arrival and was a charming, friendly and unobtrusive host. Little touches made a huge difference - bread, milk, butter, juice etc all ready and waiting for us. The place was immaculately clean. Couldn’t have asked for more and we look forward to coming again.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Adam’s place. His home is immaculate, and beautifully decorated. A fabulous layout which works well. Its location is handy for all the local attractions. We even had complimentary Prosecco and fresh milk and a huge bunch of divine white roses! Highly recommend this cottage. We’ll definitely be back. Thank you Adam, it was perfect.

We wanted somewhere to stay as a family to celebrate a special birthday which falls on Christmas Day and this was perfect in every way. The house is really, really lovely with plenty of space to enjoy spending time together in really comfortable and well-equipped surroundings - exactly as in the photos with lots of additional, thoughtful touches not even mentioned in the description. Caroline is a fantastic communicator and her instructions and local guide are really well written so we had everything we needed to help us enjoy our stay. Any questions we did have were responded to almost instantly. Finally, Hook Norton (or Hooky as we now know it!) is a lovely, picturesque village and there are local shops and pubs within a short walk so it's ideal if you don't want to drive anywhere. We can thoroughly recommend the brewery tour and the pub quiz at the Pear Tree Inn, both a convenient stroll home after a couple of pints of Hooky!

Patricia's home is lovely, warm and cozy. We booked at the last minute so that our family could spend Christmas together. We appreciated the lovely welcome and provision of staples like milk, butter, tea, coffee, juice and also crusty bread. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook a full Christmas dinner with ease. Patricia had even gone to the trouble to decorate her home for Christmas for us, which was very special. We all enjoyed our time together there. It is a bonus to have a full bathroom and an extra toilet for a family, too. The setting in the park is peaceful and welcoming and there are nice walks around the woods and lakes; our dog loved it, too. This is a wonderful place to stay in every way and Patricia is a very thoughtful and accommodating host. Thank you!

Just had a fantastic Christmas break in Dan’s house. Perfect home from home, beautifully decorated for Christmas with a real tree! Thanks so much, Dan. We loved staying in your house and had a fab time.

We had a relaxing long weekend. The cottage was easy to find with parking. It had a lovely private fenced garden that allowed our two little dogs to wander. It was bright, airy, very clean, comfortable and warm. The wine was a lovely surprise on arrival thank you ☺️. It was home from home. It was very central to places to visit. With Didley squat farm shop and Chipping Norton only a 7 minute drive away. Thank you Nicky for making us feel welcome.

Lovely cosy cottage in a perfect spot for walks and the pub. Rachel was a great host, friendly and helpful. We had a lovely stay. Thank you!

We were a family party with ages from 5 to 75 . Lots for everyone to do ( swimming , tennis, billiards/snooker & beautiful walks all there) There was enough space both inside the wonderfully converted barn and outside in the extensive grounds to enjoy each others company without being overcrowded. Thanks Sarah for enabling a lovely weekend .

Lovely comfortable and spacious family house . Suzie the host was very friendly and obliging and made us feel very welcome in her beautiful home. Would definitely book again .

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.
