Vrbo®, global expert in family holiday rentals, has revealed the first ever Vrbo Holiday Homes of the Year in the UK and TWO properties in Oxfordshire are among eight that have been selected.

The fabulous UK holiday homes range from the spectacular beaches of Cornwall to the quaint country living of Scotland and are ideal places for families and friends to stay together. All the properties can be booked through the Vrbo website and they meet a strict selection criteria, including a combination of 5-star ratings, guest reviews, number of bookings, Premier Host status (an invite-only program that recognises owners and managers who consistently deliver great traveller experience), and family-friendly amenities available.

Karen Mullins from Vrbo said, "More widely, in the UK, the Holiday Homes of the Year cater for a variety of needs and preferences, whether that's direct access to the beach, outdoor living with a hot tub or cots for young families."

Vrbo has revealed that many of the listed properties are located in the most sought-after UK destinations for the summer of 2022, including top places like Cornwall and Norfolk.*
Holiday Homes of the Year has been a success in Australia and New Zealand for the past 10 years and now Vrbo is launching this recognition initiative in the UK just in time for summer.
