NEW! Ducky Bird Island – A Private Island to Yourselves!

Holiday James Bond or Swallows and Amazons style – whichever you prefer! You’ll have the entire island to yourselves, accessed by motorboat! How’s about that for your large group stay in the UK! The island stands in the middle of a private water skiing lake in Oxfordshire, the house sleeps 16+6 extra guests, and has a hot tub, games room, outdoor table tennis, outdoor kitchen and bar.

Large group holidays just got so much more exciting with Ducky Bird Island added to our collection of luxury large group holiday houses! Right in the middle of a private water skiing lake in the Oxfordshire countryside, the island can only be accessed by motorboat – 2 small ones are provided for your stay. Cruise up to the private jetty, disembark and wander up through the wrap around gardens to the contemporary house where 8 bedrooms sleep 16, with room for 6 more guests at an extra charge each.

Idle the days away making the most of the amazing features – a hot tub, a games room/living room with a pool table and table football, outdoor table tennis, an outdoor kitchen and pizza oven, and your very own Wonky Bar with a juke box you can stream your music to.

On one side of the lake, there are watersports activities like kayaking, ring rides, wakeboarding and paddleboarding; on the other side there are therapy rooms with a clinic specializing in Japanese Head Spas (as seen on TikTok). Nearby you’ll find attractions like the Cotswold Wildlife Park, Crocodiles of the World and Blenheim Palace, country pubs and fascinating museums. Witney is just up the road, Oxford, with its dreaming spires, is about half an hour away. That’s if you can bear to tear yourselves away – after all, a private island is the ultimate in getting away from it all, so the chances are you’ll be more than happy to stay put.

Watch the sunsetting shoreside, love the views across the lake, make the most amazing memories. Here’s where your island dream begins. Book your stay today!
