Vacation rentals with a kayak in Berkshire

Wonderful location, super friendly hosts. Easy to get in, lots of ameneties nearby. Was clean, and beautifully decorated. The fire on the Saturday night whilst having dinner was a real treat. 4 humans and one little dog loved it and will definitely be going back!

We had such a wonderful weekend we booked to go again next year on the day we left! A very relaxing home from home feel about the property that makes you feel chilled from the moment you arrive. The finishing touches, decor, games etc went the extra mile…looking forward to next year already!

We stayed here as a family to celebrate my wife’s 30th birthday, and it was nothing short of perfect. From the moment we arrived, the property was exactly as pictured—beautiful, spotless, and thoughtfully designed with everything we could possibly need for a relaxing and memorable stay. The living spaces were spacious and comfortable, with plenty of room for everyone to unwind. The kitchen was well-equipped, which made hosting a birthday dinner at home a breeze. And the views? Absolutely stunning—waking up to those each morning was a treat in itself. Our host was incredibly responsive, welcoming, and helpful throughout, which made the experience even better. From local recommendations to thoughtful touches around the home, we felt genuinely looked after. It was the perfect setting for a special occasion, and we’ve come away with some truly lovely memories. Would 100% recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful and luxurious getaway. Thanks again for everything!

A very pleasant town house that manages to be both very accessible (close to main road, station, city centre, amenities) and tranquil (quiet residential road, adjacent to the canal). A lovely area too, handy for Wittering beaches and South Downs. For those who like to cycle, the infrastructure and nearby routes are excellent too.

Our stay was perfect and we absolutely loved the house, the location and all of the facilities and activities that we could do! Perfect for the whole family. We would definitely stay again! Thanks for everything.

Lovely warm welcome to me and my friends .The location is super , right get next to the water with a slipway to launch canoes and paddle boards , yet a 5minute walk into town . Enjoyed the hot tub in the evening. The Chalet was very spacious and well appointed . Great for few days away with friends , we would book again .

We had a lovely stay at the Cotswolds retreat! All the rooms were spacious and the view onto the lake was lovely and peaceful. We struggled to change the heating in our rooms which meant without the fans provided we would have been too warm but that's probably our own fault and not the property itself. The only issue was the light from the bathroom in the main room was shining through in the early hours of the morning due to there being no blinds in the bathroom.

We had a lovely stay at Eleanor's place. The house was spacious and clean with loads of utensils provided in the kitchen. Eleanor was a lovely host, so responsive and helpful. She even kindly let us check out a few hours later as she had no guests that evening. It is walking distance from the seaside at Ryde and the station at St Johns Ryde. We had a wonderful week in the Isle of Wight with two young children. There is so much to do and we will definitely be back. We would be happy to return to Eleanor's if it is available.

Great place, and one of the most welcoming host I’ve ever encountered. Everything just perfect: 10 minutes walk from centre, very clean, well equipped kitchen, large dining room etc. I’d warmly recommend to anyone would want to spend some quality time in Cowes.

Thank you for a wonderful stay at your gorgeous cottage. It was the perfect venue and location for time away with friends. The cottage is beautifully furnished and has everything you need for a relaxing break. The extra touches, like milk in the fridge, tea, coffee and toiletries, are very thoughtful. We recommend this cottage for anyone looking to visit the area and we would be very happy to stay again.

Great cottage and location. Lots of information provided to make sure we made the most of the local area!

A great place to come and stay easy to find really good.Carol was a amazing host very welcoming from start to finish and very helpful though out are stay. Very comfy beds loads of choices for breakfast. Will definitely stay again in the future.

David’s cottage was exactly as described and perfect for our needs. He was welcoming and approachable, checking that everything was as we wanted, and also leaving us a lovely bottle of wine. The cottage was warm and comfortable with a pretty Christmas tree greeting us.

Thank you for a lovely peaceful stay in your cosy cottage Laura. A real home from home.The kitchen was fully equipped with everything you could need including tea, coffee and sugar and cooking essentials. The biscuits and fresh milk on arrival were thoughtful. The luxury toiletries were gorgeous and it felt like a hotel with the fluffy white towels and dressing gowns. Great quiet location with a private rear garden really fantastic for our two pooches and our Son to be free to play safely. The decor was really stylish and the whole feel of the cottage was welcoming. The provision of all the games and books kept everyone entertained and we slept well in the comfy beds. We recommend a visit to the Cotswolds water park for active families for kayaking, aqua venture and paddle boarding etc but it’s quite pricey ! For pub food we went to The Somerford Arms great atmosphere and only 5 minutes drive away. For your food shopping there is an Aldi or Waitrose 15 minutes drive away. Thanks again

It was a perfect house for a family get together with three generations having fun by the sea. Plenty of space in the house for people to chill out and big kitchen with big fridge to prepare food . Beds were comfortable. The house has a good seaside feel to it. Also paddle boards and equipment to use if sea isn’t too rough!! Lovely big garden which is sheltered from the winds. Safe for young children.

We had the most peaceful and relaxing stay at this beautiful cottage in Trupp. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warm hospitality and thoughtful touches that made it feel like a home away from home. The cottage itself is full of rustic charm—clean, cosy, and well-equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The views from the garden were breathtaking, especially during sunrise and sunset. It was the perfect spot for enjoying our morning coffee or winding down with a glass of wine in the evening. The location is ideal for anyone looking to unwind in nature. We enjoyed lovely walks through the nearby canal and visited the café. It’s also a great base for exploring the surrounding countryside.

Wonderful cabin and a wonderful host. We will come again and try the other lodge (boats). Thank you.

Little Hawthorn is absolutely stunning. Such attention to detail, Gary and Shona forgot nothing, everything you needed and more was there. Immaculate throughout and extremely comfortable. We loved it! A very generous welcome basket on arrival at Little Hawthorn, just what you need after a long journey. A lovely touch and very much appreciated. I cannot praise Gary and Shona enough as hosts, chuffed to have found their beautiful little property. I will definitely return. Thanks again, Lou and James x

Lovely place to stay for a chill weekend away , the area was lovely and nice places to eat or grab a quick drink around , the cabin was cozy and clean we would definitely come back The cats were very welcoming !
