  Ten reasons to choose Bridge Lake Farm 1.

  The host faciliated an early check in and pre-heated the hot tub ready for our arrival. 2. The host provdied a warm greeting on arrival and helped with parking and taking our luggage to the lodge. 3. The lodge had suitable underfloor heating; which we could regulate, and that kept us warm when outside temperature was below freezzing. 4. The lake provides a beautiful and relaxing view from the ldoge. 5. Privacy is repspected - suitable blides on windows, a curtained gazebo outside and significant space between other lodges. 6. The lodge is close to picturesque local towns. We took advantage of the location and went on day trips to Oxford, Cotswold towns and Bicester shopping villiage. 7. The welcom folder contains infromation about local restaurants, pubs and village walks. We did the 11km pub walk. Please note, if you choose to do this walk not all pubs are open on Mondays and the Plough is no longer a pub and has been converted to a house. 8. The lodge itself is modern. We had access to wifi, Netflix and Prime this meant we didnt struggle with any first world problems. 9. The host was quick to respond to texts, always answered the phone and its clear he loves to make guests feel welcome, and, like us, want to come again. 10. Perfect stay for a romantic getaway or anniversaries.

  On the whole a lovely stay.

  Its a small, cosy and very clean place with no garden and the small outside space is very visible to all passers (though the cottage is just across the road from the lovely University gardens). Set in the most beautiful village and next to a picturesque duck pond it is really well located for some fab locations in Oxfordshire, Warwickshire and the cotswolds. Patsy the housekeeper was lovely, responsive and fantastic. But the house has a few niggles - the shower water pressure isn't great and the shower hose looks as if it might split soon. There were a few spiders but it's a thatched cottage, that is to be expected. The freezer is in the garage which can only be accessed by leaving the house (and was off when we arrived). The TV was a bit small but fitting for the really nice inglenook fireplace. Sound proofing was limited and you can hear easily between the lounge and the two bedrooms. The people in the village were really helpful and friendly. Although it's quite a list the niggles are all small, we'd definitely consider coming back.

  Had an absolutely lovely 4 night break here.

  Brendan was extremely helpful and attentive if we had any questions, even met us at the car park in his golf cart on our arrival to drive us and our luggage down to the accommodation. Lodge felt very private- despite multiple lodges on site we rarely saw/heard a soul and being set on the lake had picturesque views. Surrounded by lovely walks around Chacombe, and a short drive to Banbury town although the 30 degree weather prevented as much adventuring as we would've liked. Gorgeous hot tub for evenings when it got a little chilly and the lodge had underfloor-heating which although we didn't utilise I imagine it would be very cosy in winter. Really can't complain about anything. The whole stay was magical and we will surely be returning. Thank you Brendan for everything- Tamzin and Ellis

  It was a lovely cosy cottage, with all the equipment and facilities necessary, but perhaps more suitable for a weekend than an extended stay.

  A couple of points: 1We were surprised, given we were staying three weeks at the property, not to be offered cleaning or change of linen and towels. We did not anticipate having to do our own cleaning and bedding laundry in a 'holiday' cottage. When I raised this with the company I was told the expectation was that we should arrange it ourselves with the owners - but we did not have any direct contact with the owners and in any case, we were not aware of the requirement. 2.the heating in the living room was on all night which made it very hot. There were strict instructions not to change the settings so we didn't. Heating in the kitchen was working as set out in the information folder.

  What a lovely place!

  great for wildlife & quiet for getting away from the busy outside world & relaxing with the view over the lake. Brendan keeps the site in perfect order & is always on hand to make your stay comfortable. The cabin was well designed with quality equipment & perfect for two while the hot tub was great in the evenings. Fishing was lively with loads of smaller tench, carp & roach but didn't manage to catch the larger carp. A short walk over the fields to the pretty village led to a good pub with friendly owners while 10min away is the pretty canal village of cropready & 40 min gaydon historic motor museum. Would definitely recommend this property & not hesitate to return.
