“This was our second visit to your lodges.”

We both absolutely loved staying there. I’ve already recommended Bridge farm to my friends. Hopefully we will be back again soon. Thank you for a wonderful stay

“Have just returned after a 5 night stay at the lodge.”

We would highly recommend anyone to go and stay. The place is so tranquil and Brendon couldn’t do enough for us. The lodge is packed with everything you need . Hot tub was ready to use on our arrival. Will definitely be going back

“Couldn’t have asked for better mini break.”

Michael July 2024

“The lodge and its setting were perfect, offering an ideal escape and a true place of relaxation.”

Although small, it provided a cozy snug for a short getaway. The lodge itself had everything one could need. Its location was perfect: close to local attractions and larger towns and cities for tourist activities, yet secluded enough to offer privacy and peace, allowing us to enjoy the lake during the day and the stars from the hot tub at night. The local village was beautiful, super friendly, and welcoming, a true pleasure to visit. The only drawback of the holiday was the noisy refrigerator. It would randomly start humming very loudly, as if the fan or motor was running on overdrive, often disrupting our sleep and making it difficult to fall back asleep. Turning up the temperature helped for a short while, but the noise would soon start again. Despite this issue, it was a perfect vacation with a beautiful setting and wonderful staff.

- Michael, July 2024
Richard July 2024

“I cannot recommend Acorn Lodge highly enough.”

It is such a comfortable place to stay, with a private hot tub and private outdoor seating area to light your own fire. The setting is beautiful and very well kept by the staff to ensure it is clean, tidy and very well maintained. While mentioning the staff, the service was outstanding. The staff were on hand at any time to provide whatever help we needed and went above and beyond to he helpful for us. The lodge itself is very well built, everything is clean and well kept. It is well designed to provide everything you could need, its very comfortable inside as well. Lastly, you're only a short drive to Banbury for an evening out, and walking distance to the nearby pub should you wish to head out on foot.

It was such a peaceful and relaxing experience that I could truly unwind and recharge. The accommodation was spotless and went above and beyond my expectations.

Aliesha February 2024

“We had a brilliant, relaxing weekend away in acorn lodge.”

The lovely host Brendan was very helpful, he met us on our very late arrival to bring us and our luggage down to the lodge in a golf buggy and had the wood burning hot tub already warmed for us. The lodge was very clean and well equipped and it stayed lovely and warm due to the underfloor heating. Relaxing in the hot tub looking out over the lake was beautiful and peaceful. We will definitely be booking again thank you very much for a fabulous weekend

- Aliesha, February 2024

“This was our second stay at Bridge Lake, our first in Acorn Lodge.”

We can not put into words how wonderful our stay was. Brendan and family are very welcoming and courteous. The hot tub is ready for when you arrive and the accommodation feels like home. The location is tranquil and perfect for escaping reality and unwinding.

- Emma, December 2023
Alice December 2023

“We stayed here for 3 nights and it was perfect.”

The lovely man helped with our stuff down to our lodge. The hot tub was ready for us when we arrived and had a gorgeous view. The kitchen facilities are very useful if you plan on cooking during your stay and the lodge itself was very clean and comfortable. Would recommend highly!!

Nicola December 2023

“Me and my husband stayed here for 2 nights for our honeymoon.”

It was the most beautiful place. It was perfect. The owner was very attentive. On arrival we were met by Brandan to take us down to our lodge. On the drive down it looked amazing. We didn't arrive till 18.30pm so was dark but the lighting was amazing really set the evening for us. Hot tub was ready for us. Literally can't fault this place. We will definitely be back. Thank you so much for having us. See you soon!

- Nicola, December 2023

You are more than welcome, hope to see you soon Brendan Property Owner

“WOW ! Our first impressions driving up the drive !”

We were made to feel so welcome , from the initial buggy ride with our luggage down to the lodge to the moment we left . The lodges are beautiful, so cosy and warm , the setting is just beautiful , even in -2 degrees . The service was exemplary , our hot tub being pre heated was a very thoughtful idea , communication with the owners was outstanding throughout , only a short walk to the local pub which was also welcoming and the food was lovely , we thoroughly enjoyed our getaway and can’t wait to return . We have some lovely memories and photos we can’t wait to share with friends and family and would highly recommend a stay here whatever the season , Many thanks for making our get away such an enjoyable one .

Glad you had a good break and the perfect review ! Brendan Property Owner
Harry October 2023

“We had a fantastic and short break away.”

The log cabins are warm comfortable and packed with everything we needed. The location is beautiful. No road noise just the sound of the birds chirping in the morning and the owl at night. While in the log burning hot tub we could enjoy the view of the lake in the day and by night the lovely stars in the sky. Location is great for walking and seeing the views around with the little village about a 15-20 minute walk. And by car the shops are 10mins away. Our customer service was 5 stars we had a buggy with all our stuff to the log cabin and help if we needed anything throughout our stay. I would full recommend.

- Harry, October 2023

Thanks for the feedback it is really appreciated Brendan Property Owner
Lucy October 2023

Bernard October 2023

“Both my wife and myself had an extremely relaxing few days at Acorn Lodge.”

Set in a beautiful spot although smaller than expected the Lodge itself had everything required and more. Very comfortable and designed with plenty of privacy from neighbours while indulging in luxury in a traditional hot tub fueled by a wood burner. The host after dropping you off at the lodge in his quirky designed golf cart ensured we had everything we need and pointed us in the right direction for any local shops for our supplies for the stay, along with enough documentation for all the local sites to see. The farm is located just outside a gorgeous little village only fifteen minutes walk where you can stop for a drink or a delicious meal in a beautiful pub all at very reasonable prices were all the staff along with the locals made us extremely welcome. All in all we both had a truly luxurious and lovely break. We would recommend this place to anyone who wants a lovely tranquil escape. We absolutely loved it.

- Bernard, October 2023

It was lovely having you stay, hope to see you again Thanks Brendan Property Owner
Chris September 2023

“My wife and I stayed for a couple of nights and couldn’t have been happier.”

Brendan was lovely, the accommodation was gorgeous. Hot tub was warm and ready for us to use. The lodge was well equipped, we will be coming back in the future to stay again…hopefully in the Railway Bridge converted property which looks amazing.

- Chris, September 2023

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. I am glad that you had a great time with us at Acorn Lodge and we would love to have you back. The Tunnel is now available to book from December. Look forward to seeing you on your next visit. Property Owner

Den August 2023

“Acorn lodge was an exceptional quality accommodation set around a picturesque small lake in an idealistic peaceful setting.”

My short stay was further enhanced by the welcoming and attentive nature displayed by Brendan, the property owner, throughout my time at Bridge Water Lake Farm & Fishery.

Kathrine August 2023

“What a fantastic couple of days me and hubby spent here we booked it very last minute in fact on the Afternoon and by 7.”

30 we where there our hot tub was up and running for us which we didn't expect with it being such a last minute booking Everything went smoothly the owner came and took us to the lodge even though it was out of hours nothing was to much trouble for him he gave us the information we needed as to where the local pub was and what time it closed, unfortunately we didn't get to eat there as is doesn't serve food on Tuesdays but we still stayed and had few beers and then had a lovely 10 minute walk across the field back to our lovely peaceful lodge to enjoy the rest of our evening in the Hot tub which was ready for us to use by then. It's a very clean looked after site, rural and private so you don't get interrupted No children and pets allowed which was a bonus, don't get me wrong i love them both, we have 5 grandchildren but it's lovely just having some piece and quite The sitting area and the Hot Tub both have covers so if Unfortunately if it does rain you can still enjoy the beautiful outdoors You have access to netflix if needed but we never once switched the tv on We didn't need as the the outside was fantastic you get to use the bbq which also is your fire pit. Bed linen, Towels and Bath robes are included which was great You will not be disappointed with this place if all you want is rest. Can't wait to go back Thank you very much for a lovely stay we will definitely be coming back

- Kathrine, August 2023

This is a wonderful piece of feedback. Great to hear that the surrounding area provided you with enough entertainment that the TV did not have to be used. Here at Bridge Lake Farm and Fishery, we take great pride in the stunning surrounding scenery and our tranquil setting. Thank you for the appreciation, nothing is too much trouble when it comes to providing for our guests. We would love to see you in the future. Property Owner

Leah June 2023

“It was a very lovely lodge, there was a lot of flies constantly in the lodge, maybe a fly net needs to be fitted on the windows as it was too warm inside the lodge, was unable to keep windows open due to flies.”

- Leah, June 2023
Richard June 2023

“Bridge Lake Farm is a lovely peaceful venue.”

The grounds and lake are very well maintained. The fishing was strictly pleasure fishing but very enjoyable. The lodge was spotlessly clean and exactly as described if a little cramped. Fortunately the weather was great and there is plenty of outside space. The hot tub stayed warm for our whole stay! Brendan was extremely helpful. We had a lovely break.

- Richard, June 2023
Jeff June 2023

“My Wife and I stayed for four nights and enjoyed every day.”

Lovely location and enjoyed fishing every day. Well stocked lake. A bit weedy and ideal for recreational fishing. A short walk to local The George and Dragon. Very friendly atmosphere and good evening meals. However, it’s closed Mondays.Gaydon Motor Museum is well worth a visit. Large collection of vintage vehicles .Just like Dad used to own.Would recommend this lodge location to family and friends. Regards Jeff & Sue Rosser.

- Jeff, June 2023
Debbie May 2023

“There aren't enough adjectives to describe how idyllic this location is.”

We've just had 5 days of peace and quiet. My partner fished most of the day, whilst I lazily sat and listened to music, podcasts, read a book or just sat looking at the wonderful surroundings. The owner has thought of everything yourequire in the lovely little lodges. He even had our hot tub fired up ready for our first evening there. We were greeted with a friendly smile and a very helpful buggy to take us and lots of fishing tackle the 100yds down to our lodge. The local village was a quick walk away, through some fields via a public walkway, over a couple of wooden bridges over streams. Over all a blissful few days and we can highly recommend to any couple, who just want to kick back and relax A +++

- Debbie, May 2023

Hi Debbie We are so pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us and thank you for such lovely feedback! We hope to see you both again soon! Property Owner
Sacha May 2023

“We had such a wonderful time at the lodge from start to finish- the facilities and service were outstanding!”

When we arrived we was met by Brendan in a golf caddy who took us and our luggage down to the lodge. He talked us through how to use the facilities and also set the jacuzzi up for arrival. Any queries we had about anything Brendan and the team responded within minutes! The lodge itself was really cosy with the underfloor heating being very effective in keeping the hut warm. The amenities were great, we had everything we needed to cook for the weekend and wish we had time to use the fire pit/ bbq as that was a great addition to the lodge. Overall we loved it and will definitely be recommending this place to stay to our family and friends! Thanks so much, Sacha and Lauren

- Sacha, May 2023

Hi Sacha Thank you for such lovely feedback. We are so happy you enjoyed your stay with us and hope to see you both again soon! Property Owner
Bethan May 2023

“We had a lovely break overall at Bridge Lake Farm.”

The owner Brendan was so attentive, he gave us a ride in the golf buggy to the lodge with our bags and back again & only a text away if needed. You get the starter pack of wood included and it was £20 if you wanted more but it’s worth it as you get loads. The Acorn lodge does have a slanted roof so be mindful if you’re tall but this is shown in the listing & not a deal breaker for us. Wifi was really good! Hot tub & surroundings were lovely and the pub only a 5 min walk past the Alpacas. Would recommend! :)

- Bethan, May 2023

Hi Bethan Thank you for taking the time to leave such lovely feedback - we are so pleased you enjoyed your stay with us and hope to see you again soon! Property Owner
Arun May 2023

“This is a small nugget of tranquility which provides you with an incredible ambiance.”

The chalets are meant for two and within it you get all you need. The hot tub provided with each chalet is the highlight. Having a drink whilst sitting in this Scandinavian bath tub, overlooking the lake is what everyone needs! The host/owner is most gracious and hospitable. Nothing is too much for Brendon. We are certainly hooked!

- Arun, May 2023

Hi Arun thank you for such a lovely review! We are very pleased you enjoyed your stay with us and we hope to see you both again soon. Property Owner

“What a find!”

The lodges are Bridge Lake Farm and Fishery are gorgeous, private and perfect for an escape away for two. Brendan was very welcoming and friendly and was happy to help with anything we needed! The local area is also lovely to explore. We will definitely be back, thank you so much!

- Tobias, March 2023

Amy December 2022

“My partner and I were after a weekend away in the peaceful countryside to have some time to ourself to escape the urban life.”

We booked Acorn Lodge by complete coincidence as it was one of the few places available within the short time frame we booked, and we are SO glad we did. The Lodge itself was outstanding, beautifully clean and every little thing that you might need was thought of and was there in the Lodge. The host Brendan was fabulous, and was able to help us with any of our queries or needs, I had received a message the morning of our arrival to ask if we wanted our hot tub ready for our arrival….which of course was a yes! I couldn’t rate Acorn Lodge any higher, it was the perfect location for time away and I will definitely be recommending to friends and returning, thank you so much Brendan!

- Amy, December 2022

Thank you very much for your lovely feedback, we greatly appreciate your kind words. I am so happy to hear you had a wonderful stay with us and that you’d recommend us. We would love to welcome you back again soon. Property Owner

“I genuinely can't recommend this place enough, was the cosiest and cutest place I've ever been.”

I'd wanted to do a log cabin trip like this for a while. This was booked for a 30th and we had the best time, everything we wanted, thank you!

James July 2022

“Both my wife and I had a lovely stay at Bridge Lake Farm.”

It was so peaceful and relaxing. Accommodation was spotless and quaint and the hot tub a great feature. Brendan was incredibly accommodating and we couldn't recommend this place high enough.

- James, July 2022
Elizabeth July 2022

“We spent 2 nights in Oak Lodge in July 2022, it was a fantastic break, we were met on arrival by Kam who was a great host.”

The lodge itself was spotless and despite being cosy as advertised had everything we needed and more. The fire pit and hot tub were easy to use and again immaculate. The setting was perfect, peaceful and picturesque, we spent hours sitting on the decking looking at the views and lake. Highly recommended

- Elizabeth, July 2022
Laura July 2022

“We wanted to say thank you very much for the hospitality to Brendan.”

We had an incredible time here. The brochure in the lodge was great and had some good listed walks which was perfect! The lodge was very picturesque and in a perfect setting. We will 100% be back.... We got engaged here and the view was second to none. Really couldnt be happier to make such an incredible memory here! The lodges had wonderful privacy too and the hot tubs were great. We caught a fair few fish too which was fun. Thank you for the promptness in replies Brendan and for helping us take our luggage up and down. Also the alpacas were cool! Only thing to note was that the fridge wasnt too a large size but Brendan explained they are refitting the kitchens soon as the other two do have full fridges. To be honest its not a deal breaker at all! Just an observation if you do what we did and prepped food ahead of the stay.

- Laura, July 2022
Kate June 2022

“Had an amazing stay.”

Perfect place to unwind and relax, very peaceful. Brendan the host is lovely and helpful. Hot tub was brill! Had a lovely weekend and would love to go back!

- Kate, June 2022
Gemma June 2022

“What a brilliant place.”

So beautiful , perfect facilities and amazing customer service. We stayed a week at Acorn lodge and Brendan was so welcoming from start to finish. On hand when ever we had questions or requiring extra fire wood for BBQ. The lodge was perfectly clean and had all the items we needed to have a brilliant stay. We would highly recommend and are looking to come back sometime in the future.

- Gemma, June 2022
Gary June 2022

“Everything with our stay was fantastic.”

Even when there was some rain around we were still relaxed and enjoyed the hot tub. Brendan was very helpful and was just a quick call away. We couldn't ask for much more for a little staycation.

- Gary, June 2022
James June 2022

“We had an amazing 'mini-moon' at Acorn Lodge.”

Brendan made us feel very welcome from the start - taking us and our luggage from car to lodge, as well as getting the hot tub ready for arrival! We valued the suggestions of local pubs and restaurants (which lived up to expectation), as well as the flexibility and 'on-hand' assistance by texting (e.g. for extra fuel). The grounds and lake were just what we needed! We would highly recommend this peaceful get-away to everyone.

- James, June 2022
Shannon May 2022

“Absolutely loved this place.”

This was a surprise wedding anniversary gift to us from our family and we weren’t disappointed. Its such a quiet beautiful place. The lodge is just perfect for two people. The hot tub was a bonus added touch. Brendan went out of his way to help us with our luggage to and from the lodge. And even appeared and helped when we returned from a trip out. There is a local pub a short walk away. And nice to see some alpacas on the way in to. Hopefully we will visit again in the near future

- Shannon, May 2022
Hament May 2022

“The lodge was amazing, clean and tidy.”

The location was peaceful and relaxing. When we arrived, Brendan was there to help take our stuff from the car down to the lodge. Brendan had also set up the log-fired hot tub which was great and made things easier for us. The village pub was a nice short walk too. All we had to do was relax, drink wine and have a barbecue. Thank you, it was great.

- Hament, May 2022
Michelle April 2022

“Truly a hidden gem!”

Booked for my 50th birthday, the setting is breathtakingly picturesque and tranquil; a perfect location to escape and relax. The lodges are well equipped and cosy and it’s obvious that time has been spent to equip the accommodation with absolutely everything you may need for your break. Excellent communication from the outset. Brendan is such a welcoming host and got our trip off to the best start: there was the perfect balance of privacy and knowing he was on hand, should we need anything. We visited The George & Dragon on several occasions: the food was absolutely delicious, the atmosphere and friendly staff made our visit to their quaint English pub a hugely enjoyable experience. Banbury and Bicester great local shopping areas for during the day. At night, enjoying a glass or two of wine, under the stars, in a steaming hot wood burning tub, next to the prettiest of countryside lakes: what’s not to love? I’d highly recommend this place to anyone and will definitely be making plans for our return visit. Thank you very much Bridge Lake Farm team!

- Michelle, April 2022
Joe April 2022

“Great stay, only problem we had was the bed had a huge dip in the middle and so it was very uncomfortable at night”

- Joe, April 2022

Thank you for your feedback, I’m glad you enjoyed your stay. We will look into the issue with the bed. We hope to see you again soon. Property Owner

“Awesome property, pictures don't do it justice.”

Brendan and Co, are always on hand to help out with anything at any time. Really enjoyed my week at the Acorn, would highly recommend it to anyone, nice relaxing stay, away from it all in a beautiful location.

- Andrew, March 2022
Daniel March 2022

“Couldn't have had a more relaxing stay.”

The lodge and the surroundings are beautiful, obviously viewed best from your hot tub. Brendan, the owner of the property was kind enough to escort both of us down to the lodge on a caddy and was pleasant to us the whole time. Quite clear that Brendan and his team all work hard to make sure that you have the most relaxing stay possible.

- Daniel, March 2022
Kieran March 2022

“Big thanks to Brendan, our stay was lovely :) The lodge was well designed and had everything we needed, and his service was second to none.”

He gave us handy information about the local area; pointing us in the direction of a great local pub and lots of lovely walks. Quite simply the perfect getaway in an idyllic location, we will certainly return.

- Shaun, February 2022

Louis January 2022

“Had the best stay at this lovely lodge it was so cosy, clean and divine.”

Brendon was amazing and was there whenever we needed him and was super helpful when we arrived and departed with a golf buggy to take our belongings to the lodge and back. The hot tub was lovely and clean and has all the facilities that I needed throughout my stay. I will definitely be booking here again!!

- Louis, January 2022
Ellie January 2022

“Beautiful place to stay, peaceful and brilliant wildlife to be seen.”

hosts were more than welcoming. Brenden met us with a buggy to take all our stuff down to the lodge from the car. this saved us a couple trips. he also had the hot-tub ready for us for arrival so we could hop straight in after unpacking which was great. we were undisturbed all weekend but given a numbers for if we should need anything to contact which was great. would really recommend only using the wood given to you as a starter pack for the hot-tub as we bought wood but went through about 2 bags a day whereas one of them would last two/three days in the hot-tub alone, they burnt hotter and slower than regular logs, but by all means buy proper logs for the fire-pit. All three men we met working were lovely and asked us how we were and if we ever needed anything if they saw us up by parking otherwise we were undisturbed. we were again met with the buggy to take stuff up to the car on day of departure so it was less time to pack the car which was great. overall a lovely tranquil place to stay with amazing hosts that are truly happy to help.

Abi January 2022

“The property was very cozy and warm, had everything we could need provided.”

Hot tub was warmed up ready for us arriving, was really easy to use the wood burner. Even tho it was January and the wether was chilly, we were plenty warm between the hot tub and the underfloor heating in the lodge. Host was very friendly, kept in touch but never felt he was intrusive. Had plenty of privacy, even from the other lodges. Would definatly come back, was an amazing little holiday!

- Abi, January 2022
Chloe December 2021

“Me and my partner stayed in the Acorn Lodge over New Years and it was the most perfect short break away!”

The lodges themselves are beautiful, clean and have everything you need for a comfortable stay, including kitchen appliances and utensils if you wish to make your own meals. The hot tub was beautiful, stayed lovely and warm for a long time and was easy to heat up using the wood that you can purchase during your stay. The drive down to the lodges is quite long so if you are planning on walking anywhere be aware of that. The site owners are lovely and were super helpful, they even picked us and our luggage up so we didn't have to walk the full length of the drive. Would possibly recommend taking your own towels if you are staying for a few nights as it can be hard to get them dry after you've been in the hot tub. Honestly can't recommend Bridge Lake Farm & Fishery enough if you're looking for a peaceful, romantic trip away. Huge thanks to Brendan and the team for looking after us!

“Absolutely amazing!”

! We had a text before we even left asking if we wanted to hot tub set up ready for our arrival! This was so lovely and instantly put us at ease! They are so kind and almost always about and if you can’t find them they are only a text/phone call away! Brendan was so quick to deal with requests as well! Lots Of info given about walks/food/appliances etc in a little book in the lodge! I would highly recommend staying here! Such a lovely wind down before Christmas! Thank you! X

“We booked here to go Christmas shopping at Bicester village.”

It was perfect, relaxing and peaceful break away in the countryside, we wish we could of stayed longer in this idyllic location with lovley alpacas on entrance. we would defiantly come back here. Good host communications and hospitality with being ferried to the lodge in golf buggies. It was even more better at Christmas with the lit Christmas trees and lovely lighting around the lake.

“This was the most private, peaceful and maxing lodge I have ever been too.”

We were greeted by Brendan who helped with our bags an took us to our lodge. He had the hot tub ready and warm waiting for us for when we arrived. Anything I asked was never too much effort I.e can you please help us make a fire late at night he would be down to us within the next couple of minutes. The room was so comfy with underfloor heating with as well as a sofa to sit on. Bicester is about 20 minutes from the lodge as well as a local pub. I had the best time here. Also the lodges are so far apart you cannot be seen or heard by anyone in a sense of your a bit tipsy in the hot tub no one can see you or hear your conversations. So pleased and will defo book again!

“We have recently got back from a 4 night stay at Bridge Lake Farm & Fishery, it really is a beautiful hidden gem.”

Brendan is a great host who made us feel instantly welcome, & extremely helpful. The lodge we stayed in was cosy, immaculately clean, well equipped & set in tranquil surroundings. There is a local pub a short walk away with a good atmosphere. Thank you for a great stay. We’re already planning our return for next summer.

“Me and my wife have literally just put our feet down in our house and we already want to go back to that beautiful, magical, quiet and very cosy place where we spent that last 2 days in and it was really worth the price and well spent time.”

Brendan's hospitality was at the highest level, he made our stay very comfortable and without any problems, upon the arrival we've had our hot tub ready to jump in after the sent me a text message asking if i want to have it all heated up before we arrive, also he gave us some advice and helped us with setting up a fire pit to have our BBQ late at night. Not to mention Brendan has waited for us by the entrance gate and took us and our stuff to the lodge using his buggy which was unexpected but really and very kind of him. The lodge itself was very warm inside, very clean and tidy, it had everything we need and you can tell Brendan and people who are in charge of keeping the ground, lawn, lodge, garden and around the lake are very organised and tidy people. This was our first clamping experience and we're looking forward to visit Brendan and his Bridge Lake Farm and Fishery once again in the near future.

“Stayed here for 4 days post our wedding on a ‘mini moon’ we had a lovely stay, good facilities all what we needed, Brendan texted us the day of arrival and set up our hot tub for us so it was ready to jump in when we got there!”

Lovely local pub a short walk away and lots of information about near restaurants/pubs were in the book in our lodge! Would definitley return! Thankyou to the team!

“We had such a lovely, peaceful break at Acorn Lodge.”

Brendan went out of his way to help us throughout the stay, and was extremely accommodating, even texting on the day of our arrival to ask if we wanted him to get the hot tub ready for us to use when we arrived. If you're staying longer than one night you will definitely need more wood to keep the hot tub at a nice temperature, but you can purchase that through Brendan, we had a lot of logs at home so we brought our own. There is very minimal storage in the kitchen / lodge, so be mindful of how much food you take, the fridge is tiny, we took enough for a couple of meals then went shopping during our stay to top up, there are supermarkets within a 10 minute drive near Banbury so that wasn't a problem. The setting is super peaceful, and the lodges have all been designed with privacy in mind. We can't wait to return!

“We had an absolutely brilliant stay.”

The pictures don't do Bridge Lake Farm the full justice it deserves! The cottage was absolutely spotless, with not an inch of dust we felt like we was the first to stay. The facilities are 10 out of 10. We was very surprised with the array of equipment already provided in the lodge ie full cutlery and crockery set, sharp knives ect was all fantastic quality. The BBQ/fire pit was a pleasure to use and comes cleaned an ready to fire up. The hot tub alone give the cottage an 10/10 very simple to use and preset for the next use. The lodge has a seating area with table and cover if you want to sit out in the night and the hot tub has a wooden partition and optional over head cover which makes it feel very covered when you want some privacy. The staff was so so friendly and welcoming when we arrived and was always a phone call or text away when needed. In all we had a fantastic stay and we will certainly be returning on a yearly basis. Couldn't be more happier with our week stay!

Lewis May 2021

“Where to start ,wasn't the nicest weather on the day we were arriving there and was abit worried about this, but there was absolutely nothing to worry about.”

It went so far above our expectations. We relieved a lovely text from them in the morning of arrival asking if we wanted them to start the hot tub so it would be ready for when we arrived. Staff very friendly and helpful and the surroundings are absolutely stunning, not forgetting the lodge it is very homely and cosy and pretty spacious. The smell of a wood fire as your in the hot tub is just amazing not forgetting how peaceful it is. Would 100% recommend if your looking for a nice little relaxing break

“I really enjoyed my 2 night stay.”

Brendan (owner) texted the night before i was due to arrive to ask if he should get the hot tub ready... I had been a little nervous about getting the hot tub going so i was more than grateful. I received promptly clear information regarding getting to and accessing the property. When i arrived the keys were not in the key box but Brendan was on site when i rang him and came gave me the key and transported me and my luggage down the hill to the lodge. The lodge was lovely and clean and it is newly opened just 3 weeks. The bed was very comfortable. The owners provided everything i needed to be able cater for myself as well as details of the local pub and restaurants nearby. I couldn't get the channels working on the tv but that wasnt a major issue as i had my tablet with me and their WiFi was fine. There are 3 lodges and while together on open land each is situated offering privacy. Beautiful views of the lake can be enjoyed from the lodges or from the outdoor seating areas. You can use the fire pits to keep warm or have a barbecue. On my way to check out i was about to tackle the slope with my bags but Brendan saw this and came to my rescue and drove me back up to where my car was parked. I came alone for a change of scenery from the lockdowns. However i would recommend this place for a group of friends.
