Family-friendly vacation rentals in Charlbury

The location is quiet and beautiful, right on the riverbank. The heating was on for when we arrived so we stepped into a nice toasty and cosy cottage. The beds were really comfortable and everything was just lovely. The hot tub was also amazing!! Would love to stay here again!

We had an incredible stay. Ann really made us feel at home, and the house is amazing. Lots of space for a group of 7 adults and 1 toddler. The hot tub and pool really made our weekend extra special.

Gorgeous place - spotless and well kept. Hot tub great addition. Really responsive and helpful hosts. Thank you for a lovely stay!

A wonderful and peaceful haven. Detached from the world but not too far from the beauty of the Cotswolds. The place was cozy and snug and had everything we needed to truly switch off. Would definitely stay again…just for longer

It was a perfect peaceful spot to escape reality for a few days - the hut is finished beautifully and was super comfortable for a couple. The surroundings were also a highlight in the winter sun. The kitchen was fully functioning and allowed us to enjoy an evening in cooking. The secluded nature of hut meant driving to every activity or restaurant but there are some great places around. The hot tub took longer than expected to heat up to a pretty mild temperature but we were staying in -5 weather and the hosts were attentive in helping with it. Overall, an ideal getaway in the country and would be happy to revisit.

We loved our stay in this stunning home! Two fab pubs just outside which had been recommended to us by the host, along with lots of other helpful tips. Parking wasn't too much of an issue for us, but be warned the village was quite crowded with tourists, even at this time of year. Didn't bother us too much but we weren't really expecting it! We loved the house and really loved that there were some logs left so that we could have a cosy fire in the log burner. Stairs are a bit of a death trap (this was to our amusement) but host had warned us about those so we were aware of what we were getting ourselves into! People with limited mobility would need to take this into account when booking. Really appreciated we were able to bring a dog too, and there were some lovely walks around the area, umbrellas and wellies were at the property which was also really helpful. Overall a really beautiful unique property, ideal for a cosy winter stay!

Just returned from a “girls” break at this beautiful house. It was absolutely perfect. Amazing location with the most beautiful outlook. Sitting in hot tub overlooking lake was the best. We paddle boarded straight off veranda. Kitchen well stocked with good equipment for a staycation. Plenty of bathrooms. Nothing I can fault about this beautiful house in beautiful location and will definitely be back.

He had an amazing time! the place was cozy and had everything we possibly needed, the prosseco was a great addition (and very tasty!), thank you!

A beautiful location and property with extremely helpful hosts! The pictures really don’t do this place justice.

Beautiful cottage that was perfect for our stay. Super clean, cosy and comfortable. Felt like home from home. Great walks from the doorstep, including one into Stow-on-the-Wold, a lovely picturesque market town with a good selection of independent cafes and shops. All in all, a lovely relaxing weekend.

We really enjoyed our stay at Dove Lodge over Christmas. We were warmly greeted by the owner and were left with some lovely festive treats, which were very much appreciated! We enjoyed walking around the local area, the location is very peaceful and the views from the living room are amazing. The corner sofa and smart TV set up is perfect for a cosy night in. Dove Lodge has everyone one could need for a peaceful Cotswold escape.

This beautiful house has great character and relaxed charm. It’s the perfect base to explore the village and the surrounding countryside. It was perfect for our extended grown up family and a dog. There was plenty of space inside and out. Rebecca was the perfect host and I wouldn’t hesitate to book this house again.

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 spent Christmas at Jill’s beautiful old chapel and it was super cosy and had a well-stocked kitchen to make a full Xmas dinner/roast which was amazing! The Xmas tree and cake were such a nice touch too. Jill gave us great recommendations and was very responsive. Our stay was so peaceful and we loved exploring the Cotswolds! :)

We wanted somewhere quiet and relaxing to go for a couple of days and the barn at Badsey was perfect. The space itself is lovely with a comfortable bed and powerful shower. The breakfast facilities (kettle, toaster etc) were enough for us as there were so many places to eat nearby for lunch and dinner. Our dog was pleased to be able to have a sniff around the garden.

What a beautiful home, we had such a lovely stay. We had everything we needed and thank you so much to Katie and her husband for their friendly and attentive manner! Would highly recommend as fabulous hosts!

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!

We really enjoyed our stay in the summerhouse. Farahnez was a great host, gave us good tips where to go and was always quick in responding. It is a remote location but from there it was easy to reach lots of interesting places. From other cities to the beautiful countryside. We would recommend this place if you are looking to have a peaceful time in the Cotswolds.

Fantastic cottage. Felt very luxurious and private. Nicky made sure we had everything we needed. the spot felt very private and had great views. We especially enjoyed The Bull Pub which was recommended.

We adored our Christmas stay at Ros and Hugh's cosy loft. So much love and thoughtfulness has gone into creating this beautiful place. It has everything you need and everything you didn't think you'd need. The area is beautiful to drive through and so peaceful. It's the perfect place to unwind. We also had fun making pancakes for dinner with the batter and spreads provided. As hosts, Ros and Hugh are warm and friendly and very on top of their communication which made everything so easy and stress-free. Oh, and the bed was so comfy! We had the best night's sleep and didn't want to leave. Thank you Ros and Hugh!

We spent two weeks, around Christmas and New Years Eve, in the lovely, cosy cottage and had a great time! The charming interiour, the Christmas decorations and the log fires made this a perfect Christmas setting. Rachel is a kind and helpful host, contact with her went smooth. We had a marvellous holiday and would love to go back sometime!

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 .

We stayed for a couple of nights close to Christmas, wonderful stay in this beautiful period home, with the village looking very pretty and festive. Having use of a sauna and pool, while it was frosty outside; made our stay particularly enjoyable!

Gorgeous home in one of our favourite places. Great location on the estate and the house was warm and cosy and very well stocked. We loved our stay and didn’t want to leave!
