Family-friendly vacation rentals in Cheltenham

Riverside Cottage was perfect for a restful week away before my operation. The scenery was stunning and the location so peaceful. The dogs were happy as they could could come and go as they pleased as the garden was so secure. Everything you need for a break away was supplied and the host was a message away if you had any queries. The hottub was an added bonus and was made the most of throughout the week!! A most enjoyable break, we will definitely be back

Really enjoyed our stay here! Lovely cabin and had everything we needed for our stay, hot tub and chiminea are nice touches to have. Mickleton is walkable and we really enjoyed the recommendations in the guide left for us - specifically the Kings Arms and Sarah’s Deli. Cabin was very clean and had everything we needed. Would visit again - thank you!

Had a lovely few days in Kingfisher lodge, with family celebrating some big birthdays. It was great to find out that there was an electric car charging point outside the lodge. Thank you for coming to check that we had been able to get the car on charge. The lodge was well equipped, lovely and clean and a cake and Prosecco for us to enjoy.

It was a very fantastic couple of days and location of Airbnb was amazing. The hosts were very helpful and informative. We Enjoyed the snacks and wood fire hot tub

Had a lovely stay at Jessica's! The hut was clean and had everything we needed, with additional personal touches. The hot tub was ready for use at any time and we enjoyed the beautiful views out across the fields. Thank you!

Traceys place is a fantastic cottage to base yourself to explore the Forest of Dean. A short drive to the main visitor centres and several walks available from the door. Lovely little place to come back to after being out exploring for the day, it's perfect for couples. The garden isn't secure, but they do have a ground spike with a long line on (or another cottage with a fenced garden). There is also a meadow field which is great to take your dog up to. Tracey and Dave were lovely hosts with what was probably the most comprehensive recommendations email we have ever had.

We had a wonderful stay at this gorgeous property. Our two lively young grandsons loved this stay over the half term break. Lots of space to run around safely. Swings, the enchanted forest, the yurt and the hot tub. They were in holiday heaven. The house itself is large, beautifully appointed, elegant. Daniel and Pam were super welcoming and responsive to anything we asked. The whole area is very beautiful with lots of things to see and do. Thoroughly recommend. We all hope to return one day.

I recently stayed at this beautiful cottage and can’t recommend it highly enough! From the moment we arrived, we were taken in by the charm of the place – the cottage is tastefully decorated, spotlessly clean, and filled with thoughtful touches that made it feel like a true home away from home. One of the absolute highlights was the private access to the pool. It was such a luxury to be able to take a dip whenever we pleased, without having to share the space, the booking slots was such a clever way to achieve this. Surrounded by lush greenery and peaceful surroundings, it felt like our own little slice of paradise. The cottage itself is perfectly situated for relaxation but also close enough to explore local attractions, shops, and restaurants. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. If you’re looking for a relaxing, romantic, or even family-friendly escape with a touch of luxury and loads of charm, this place is a gem.

Lovely place. Amazing how spacious it felt - really great use of space. Pristine clean. Fully enclosed garden, perfect for the dog. Great dog walks nearby and some decent pubs too!

I stayed in this cottage for two months and thoroughly enjoyed it! It’s in a perfect location, well-maintained and cleaned and even nicer than the pictures. I will definitely stay here again!

A lovely, peaceful place to stay, a real ‘home from home’ - well equipped and very comfortable. Had a lovely welcome by Peter. The view is gorgeous as are the gardens. The neighbouring field was ideal for morning ball games with Monty (pup). Lots of fabulous walks on the doorstep; definitely worth going up to Painswick Beacon, dodging the golf balls! There’s lots of info on possible walks at Dove Lodge - the little booklets were great. Monty loved the Bisley and Toadsmoor Valley walk, he gave it 5/5🐾 Homemade ginger biscuits to go with a cuppa topped off the stay.

Our recent stay was an absolute delight; an idyllic setting that offered a truly peaceful escape. The loft flat was not only lovely but also exceptionally well-maintained, with every detail thoughtfully considered. It had everything we could possibly need for a comfortable and relaxing stay. John was a fantastic host; warm, welcoming, and incredibly responsive. His attention to detail really stood out and he provided some helpful local recommendations. The farm-fresh eggs and bread waiting for us on arrival were such a thoughtful and personal touch, instantly making the place feel homely and inviting. It’s clear that a lot of care has gone into creating a space that feels both special and comfortable. We felt completely at ease throughout our stay and appreciated the scenic surroundings. We wouldn't hesitate to return and are already looking forward to our next visit!

Absolutely wonderful. The Chapel is beautifully decorated. There was plenty of space for the 3 of us and 2 golden retrievers. My 9 year old loved chilling in the mezzanine area. The bedrooms are spacious with plenty of storage for clothes. The bathroom has a powerful shower as well as a bath. Plenty of towels are provided. The kitchen had everything you could need. I cooked most nights and really enjoyed it. There are instructions for the oven and hob which was really helpful. There was plenty of information on local attractions and walks. We visited the Sherbourne estate, Cotswold wildlife park, Birdland, Bourton on the water, Cheltenham - all were within a 30 minute drive. My son loved Pittsville Park in Cheltenham. We also did a couple of the walks from the Bathurst Arms - the details are in the folder at the Chapel. We only ate out once, at the Bathurst Arms, the food was fabulous. Andrew was super helpful. We will definitely be back.

We had a lovely few days in this gorgeous, cosy lodge! It's just as pretty as it looks in the pictures, and was the perfect base to relax in after exploring the surrounding area.

We had a wonderful stay at this gorgeous and cosy Airbnb. The host was very friendly and responsive, and went out of her way to recommend some fab local spots for us. The beauty surrounding the home is stunning, and there are gorgeous walks to be had. Thanks for a wonderful stay — we will be back :)

We loved our home for the week. It proved to be an ideal base to see the Cotswolds. There were shops a couple of miles away and we weren’t far from supermarkets in Evesham. The kitchen was well fitted, we Wanted for nothing. We will definitely recommend this venue to anyone wanting to visit the Cotswolds.

Ann's place is incredible- stayed for two nights and there is everything you could possibly need or anticipate in the house. We had a great time - the pool and hot tub were very clean and the house was perfect! Ann was extremely responsive and helpful. Would absolutely book again!

This little estate is beautiful, the wildlife was amazing, I went with a toddler and my husband and very pregnant. Walkable playgrounds and a trampoline, swimming pool in the spa is lovely inside outside pool. Perfect for little one. Really enjoyed the peacefulness. Bank holiday weeks are very busy and everything requires to be booked so we were grateful to have several days without the peek of the holidays. House has lovely bedrooms. Was a much needed break after having to cancel a holiday to Greece due to pregnancy complications we picked this little village and was totally worth it. Day trips out to Cotswold wildlife is a worth a trip and Cirencester (we’ve been a few time is still a beautiful little town) worth bringing some essential you may need if cooking within the house.

The perfect escape! Farahnaz and Paul are really helpful, very friendly and knowledgeable of the area. The Summerhouse is so secluded and cosy. it really is a proper escape from the "Busy Life" Shakurs on the corner is a great place to eat if you get the chance. Thanks again Farahnaz & Paul, We will be back.

Great house for 3 generations for half term break. Plenty of space to spread out, more than enough beds and bathrooms for 9 of us. Child friendly and lots of suitable books and games. We had a super time and fully recommend . We all fancy a return trip👍

Absolutely beautiful—both the house and the surroundings! To stay in such a remarkable, comfortable, clean and beautiful, old place right in the heart of the cotswolds—it was truly lovely. So peaceful and quiet! Rachel was a kind and helpful host right next door. Make sure you pay good attention to her directions to get there—it was a little tricky. Also, the ceilings in the bathroom, living room and dining room really are only about 6 feet, with doorways and other things even shorter. We’re tall and we still loved it but it’s definitely something to keep in mind. The kitchen and bedrooms were all much taller. We’d love to return one day and stay again!!! Thanks you!

Rosalind was a very friendly and communicative host. She offered a range of breakfasts and recommended some lovely local walks. The property was in a fab location with lots of nice walks/pubs nearby.

Lovely clean place on a lovely site. There was a thoughtful little hamper of some food and milk and a treat box for our dog when we arrived which was a nice touch! Wish we had stayed longer, the pool and cafe were great! The terrace was massive with lots of chairs on and we’d love to come in the warmer months!

Very welcoming host, met us right on time and gave us a tour of the cottage! Also a lovely touch that Hillary left a few farm eggs for us so we had them for breakfast! Good location, all amenities were as described, a few shops near by (5-10 mins drive) so we had a good holiday just switching off for a few days! A few recommendations for pubs as well - we picked the Foxham which we really liked! The only improvement I’d say would be that it would be good to have an option of a blind/curtain for the front door/window.
