Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Cowley, Oxfordshire

Maureen, Martin and Buzz are perfect hosts. Friendly, helpful and just like family (plus a stunning selection of freshly baked treats). As described, the guest room and bathroom at the top of the house feel very private, as well as comfortable with a large armchair and open views across playing fields. The house is in a very peaceful location although there are lots of buses (local and long distance) in easy walking distance and a wide variety of restaurants less than 5 minutes walk away. A perfect location.

Very nice place. The kitchen was fully equipped. Good connectivity to the city center. Great for short or long stays; we stayed for one month. Emma was very attentive and helpful with any of our requests

Hilary was a great host and always very forthcoming. The place was really close to the city centre just a 5 min bus ride. The room was cozy and the bed comfortable. A really good price for the accommodation compared to many places around Oxford. Would definitely recommend it and come again :)

There’s a really relaxed, friendly vibe at Rose’s. Everything was as expected, comfortable and in a great location. Would definitely stay again.

Steven is extremely responsive and very pleasant. He is both welcoming and friendly, and respectful of privacy. The house is clean and nice to stay in, and is a short bus ride to town. There is a great open air heated pool nearby and the Thames is also close for a beautiful walk.

The accomodation was impeccable and Rachel was a wonderful host - extremely accommodating and very friendly. I would highly recommend staying with Rachel for a shorter or longer-term.

Lovely family home of Kat and Simon with a small quiet, functional clean and airy single room with WiFi . A large clean shared bath/shower room very close on the same floor, ideal for me as a lone woman. A great short stay in a lovely family home, many thanks. Free car parking on the drive or great bus services to Oxford city and surrounding areas just a short walk away to the bus stops on the main Woodstock rd. I will definitely be booking again it was perfect for me. Thankyou for your kind hospitality, nothing was too much trouble for Kat and family, I had an excellent short stay.

Sachin is very helpful. He caters your needs as much as possible. The room is very clean and lots of storage space. Very useful. Quiet neighbours. The car park is around the corner of the house, easy to spot. But it’s not right next to the house, still quite good location though. A few shops nearby. Can get everything you need for short stay.

We stayed in Nadia´s house for 3 months and we felt at home there, everything is as described in the ad, the mattress is really confortable and we slept like a log there, the bathroom has a perfect shower, the washing machine and all the appliances work really well, the kitchen is well equipped with all you may need and more. Apart from that, the house is full of light because it has two beautiful windows through which you can see a wonderful garden. We were lucky because we stayed there in spring and the tree was full of stunning flowers. We only slept in the bed on the "ground" floor, but there is also a mattress in the loft you can use if you have children. The neighbourhood is peaceful and safe, and it was a pleasure to walk from there to the bus stop listening to a wide variety of birds´ chirps. There are also supermarkets, pubs and restaurants in the area, and a bus stop within walking distance, so it is well connected to the city center. We´ve had a wonderful stay!! Thank you!!!

This is a beautifully appointed flat that is convenient to the Summertown Shops around the corner. The bus service into Oxford City Centre is frequent and an easy trip. This is also a good place to catch the bus to Blenheim Palace. This charming flat is on a quiet street and Francesca is a terrific host.

Lovely little studio flat, perfect accommodation for a short stop over in Oxford, lots of toiletries and amenities within the property. Hosts were respectful and left us to our own business.

The place is decent to stay for one night. We left an item at Umu’s place, and the owner immediately told us about it and send it back the next day. We thank them for that. Very responsive and responsible owner. Would recommend to anyone.

Fantastic location & Quiet , beautifully equipped with all the stuff you forget! Lovely spacious lounge and Kitchen. Comfy bed and although it looked like might have been a bit tight with headroom, infact there was plenty of space ………

Lovely little spot, really appreciate it Victoria!

This was a perfect stay for a weekend getaway! Walkable from the train station or city centre, and bus service literally on the doorstep if you are not so mobile or fancy a quicker trip into town. It also had a convenient shop just over the road. I would highly recommend and would stay here again.

An excellently located and very well equipped flat, with a really helpful host, that we have visited a number of times now.

Lesley’s place was perfect - very convenient with lots of added things like coffee pods and charging cords - even with a little hiccup over parking Lesley sorted the issue quickly with as little disruption to us as possible - it’s a perfect base to explore Oxford and Lesley is great to communicate with .

My friend and I stayed at Ruth’s apartment for a catch up weekend. We absolutely loved the location - close to the river, with a great selection of lovely pubs / cafes and restaurants and easy access to loads of local walks. The apartment itself is very nicely done and has everything you could want. There was one allocated parking space that my friend used, and I easily found parking very close by. I highly recommend this wonderful pad! :)

STAY HERE!!!! Seriously, STAY HERE!!!! First, the host is incredible! She went above and beyond to accomodate our family and made us feel at home from the very beginning. She is quick to reply and loves helping others! Second, location. If you are visiting with a family and have kids, this place is the perfect spot. Why? There are two huge parks with playgrounds 7 mins away walking. The bus stop that takes you to town is 2 mins away walking. The grocery store is 10 mins away walking. Third, the place is very spacious and can easily sleep a family of multiple children!The backyard is well maintained and our child played there every afternoon while we had tea. Additionaly, the laundry machine works great and is big. The host even has sweet and salty treats for you upon arrival. We loved our stay. Lastly, the neighborhood has a nice local feeling and we all felt safe at all times! STAY HERE!!!!

Very clean , everything you would need is there. A good place to stay

Great place to stay, close enough to everything, especially with frequent bus services on the Cowley road. Comes highly recommended.

Fantastic accommodation! Comfortable, cozy, very clean and well-maintained, perfect for business stays or medium/long-term visits. I stayed in this accommodation for a long-term stay and needed a space with a kitchen. The apartment truly has everything you need and more – it's very functional and equipped with thoughtful touches that make the stay really pleasant. The kitchenette and the kitchen area in general are perfect even for one person and well equiped. It's located in a convenient area, close to green spaces and the river, and just a few minutes’ walk from the city center. Supermarkets are nearby. Cathy is truly an exceptional host, always available for any need, very communicative, and quick to respond if anything comes up. A super positive experience – highly recommended, even for long stays.

Visiting UK for a few days to meet old friends, choose Karen's Airbnb and this was the best decision I could make. All was perfect, from Airbnb itself to location, etc. Karen was a 5* hostess and the place is perfect. Thanks very much, we will be back in the future, guaranteed.

My family and I had a wonderful night in the Cotswolds. Richs' apartment was a superb base to explore the area.
