“Really Friendly and informative hosts.”

Supportive with any issues we had with the property. The property is a lovely little home away from home and great for walks into Chipping and as a base for so many wonderful Cotswold locations.

Charlotte November 2024

“Tiggywinkles was an absolutely lovely lodge to stay in for a little birthday holiday.”

The owners were lovely and kept in contact with us throughout the stay. The fire was an excellent way to warm up from the cold weather after great days out. We will definitely be booking again for a longer stay in the warmer weather

- Charlotte, November 2024

Hi Charlotte, I'm so pleased that you and your partner had such a lovely stay and your partner had a lovely Birthday. I can't thank you enough for the huge slice of chocolate Birthday cake you left for me and John :) - John doesn't like cake so it was all mine - I must admit I almost made myself sick from being such a greedy guts, LOL. I hope Chunk, your gorgeous pup, enjoyed his first holiday too and got to explore some of the wonderful Cotswolds countryside. A huge thank you, once again, for leaving the lodge in such a pristine condition, it really was appreciated, and we would love to have you back anytime. Kindest regards, Zoe, John, Peanut and Frazzle x Property Owner
Sarah October 2024

“Lodge was beautiful and had everything we needed.”

I couldn’t fault it. Only slight downside was the maintenance works going on at the lodge opposite, lots of vehicles moving around and machinery being used from early in the morning.

- Sarah, October 2024

Hi Sarah, thanks so much for leaving a really great review. I am so sorry about the works being carried out on the lodge opposite. I actually had a bit of a word with the site manager, as no one informed me that any maintenance works were due to be carried out, so I was more than unimpressed :( - my sincerest of apologies. I'm glad you had a lovely time nonetheless. Kindest regards Zoe x Property Owner
Kirsty September 2024

“What a beautiful place.”

The site is well maintained, the lodge is spotless and we loved all the finer details. Hot water bottles on every bed the throws, the pictures around makes the place a home from home. The lodge was very warm and comforting and couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. The information guide had everything you needed to know and more, helped us choose our days out. Thank you for such a lovely stay.

- Kirsty, September 2024

What a lovely lady you are for giving us 100/100 and saying such wonderful things about the place, especially seeing as you had no hot water for a few hours one morning, for which I am eternally sorry. Unfortunately, the central heating and the hot water run off the same cylinders and because the heating was on during the night it ran one of the cylinders out, but I was so pleased we got this rectified relatively quickly. To avoid this happening again we now have a 'Guests guide to heating and hot water' so that anyone can resolve the situation and avoid having a 'bad hair day' LOL! Thanks again for being so understanding and giving us our 5 stars. Kindest regards Zoe x Property Owner
Tanya September 2024

“Fabulous comfy accommodation, some really nice touches by the owners to really make you feel at home.”

Great location for visiting the Cotswolds. 3 great nights sleep in Tiggywinkles could of just stayed in All day & relaxed but too many local places to explore. We are looking forward to returning & staying longer. Great communication from Zoe & the folder with details of where to visit to make the most of your stay is the best we have ever seen.

- Tanya, September 2024

Hi Tanya, thank you for your lovely feedback. My partner John will be chuffed to hear that you appreciated all his work in putting together the Guest Information Pack, as it took him forever to do! We would love to have you back for a longer stay anytime and just FYI we have some great deals over the winter months and there are SO many fabby things to see and places to go even in winter, with the surrounding countryside looking truly magical when we get frosts - which seems to be a regular occurrence (beats the rain any day)! Thank you also for private texting me about the plates being too big for the dishwasher. It's a real pity as the Denby ones I bought were really expensive and great quality but are obviously not practical, so I will be buying new ones asap. Kindest regards, Zoe x Property Owner
Chris September 2024

“Great holiday lodge, Zoe rang us to say we could arrive earlier than 3 if we wanted, and to ring her if we needed anything.”

Property was clean and well furnished, milk, biscuits and dog treats waiting for us!! If we came back to this area would definitely stay at Tiggywinkles again

- Chris, September 2024

Hi Chris, I'm glad to hear you all had a fabby time. I really do try to offer early check-ins whenever possible, as these late check-ins were always a 'pet peeve' of myself and John when we booked breaks away. However now owning a holiday home I do understand why most places have afternoon check-ins, as there is so much to do, especially when guests are leaving and new ones are arriving on the same day! Once again, a huge thank you for leaving the lodge so beautifully and only using one of the shower rooms and only one bedroom too - what a treat for me! We would welcome you back anytime. Kindest regards, Zoe x Property Owner
Benjamin August 2024

“Exactly at described.”

Nice area. Cabin felt very modern. Biscuits and dog treats on arrival. Nice note from the occupier to recommend places to go in local area. Credits to owner!

- Benjamin, August 2024
Paul August 2024

“Lovely stay, very comfortable.”

Recommended.

- Paul, August 2024

Thanks a lot Paul. I'm so glad you all had a nice time and got at least one dry day! Many thanks Zoe x Property Owner
Larissa-yasmin August 2024

“Wonderful stay at Tiggywinkles - clean and comfy and a great base for us.”

Wish we had longer for our trip. Would love to be back

- Larissa-yasmin, August 2024

Many thanks Larissa-Yasmin, so glad you enjoyed your stay. A massive thank you once again for the almost immaculate condition you left the lodge in :)! I usually hate weekend changeovers as they eat into a large chunk of mine and John's weekend time together, but it literally took me only 1.5 hours to clean instead of the usual 3.5, allowing us a couple of hours and a couple of cheeky glasses of prosecco in our local pub garden - happy days! Really hope you come back to stay for longer next time as there is so much to see and do in the surrounding area. I've got some great prices on offer late autumn and winter which would be worth considering. All the best and thanks again x Property Owner
Carl July 2024

“We loved our short break at Tiddywinkles.”

Both the site and accommodation were of very high standards.Everything you would need was supplied the information pack for the area was very helpful. Our host was very welcoming and even called to let us in early. Would highly recommend and would return without hesitation

- Carl, July 2024

Hi Carl. I am so glad you both had a lovely stay. I always endeavour to get the lodge cleaned as quickly as possible to allow me to offer guests such as yourselves an early check-in, especially when they are only staying for a couple of nights, as I know myself how precious every minute of holiday time is. It really helps that ALL of my guests so far have left the lodge so 'ship shape' on their departure - something I wasn't really expecting but have been so pleasantly surprised at. I am pleased to say that you and your guest most definitely fell into this category too, so a big thank you from me, and I would love to have you back any time. Many thanks Zoe x Property Owner
Carly July 2024

“We absolutely loved Tiggywinkles!”

The site is fabulous, beautiful views and very peaceful. The lodge is immaculate and has been furnished to a very high standard. The beds are the most comfortable beds we have ever stayed in whilst staying in holidays homes! Everything was just perfect for a break away. Welcome treats were generous and even our dog was catered for. The local area is great. We enjoyed trips to Burford and Stow On The Wold which were around 25 / 30 minutes away by car and Chipping Norton which is less than ten minutes by car. We will definitely stay here again.

- Carly, July 2024

Thanks a million Carly. I'm so glad you all loved it so much. We've only had it since February and we spent so much time, effort and energy making sure it had everything a guest could need for a really nice stay, so your comments really make it all seem worthwhile. We did invest in really good beds and mattresses which ARE on the firm side, but we think they are seriously comfortable too. If you do come back, you must visit Woodstock and Blenheim Palace as they are amazing, along with all the other places recommended in our Guest Information Pack (which took my partner John hours and hours to do)! Got some fab rates for the off season too which you should consider, as the Cotswolds is a fab place to visit whatever the weather. Many thanks again x Property Owner
Michelle July 2024

“A lovely quiet place, with a beautiful view.”

The interior and decor is to a very high standard with everything you need and more. It’s in walking distance to chipping Norton and 10 - 20 min drive to lots of picturesque villages. Will definitely book again

- Michelle, July 2024

Hi Michelle. Sorry for the late response but we were away in sunny Cornwall for a few days. I'm so glad that your Mum and sister had such a lovely time and apologies for not recognising your voice when we spoke! Glad they had everything they needed. Hopefully they can stay a bit longer next time as there are so many places that they would never have had time to see. All the best and I'll see you soon no doubt :) x Property Owner
Vivienne June 2024

“The owners kept in touch with us and we found the lodge to be extremely clean and very comfortable.”

Everything needed was provided including a very detailed information pack which was most helpful. The balcony faces an open field and as the site is quiet it was lovely sitting outside in the afternoon and evening. We visited Stow Kingham Burford and the Hook Norton brewery which are all only a short drive away. This is an ideal place to visit this area and a lovely lodge to stay in.,Thank you so much

- Vivienne, June 2024

Hi Vivienne. We are so pleased to hear that you and your guest had such a lovely stay and we would love to have you back anytime. I can't thank you enough for stripping the beds and leaving the lodge so clean and tidy, I'm pretty sure you cleaned the showers too! It was such a lovely surprise when I turned up to do my 'changeover', and your efforts allowed me to watch a bit of Wimbledon instead! I'm glad you got to explore the area a bit and if you ever fancied a winter break you really should come and visit when Blenheim Palace do their Christmas Lights - it is honestly the most magical experience you could ever imagine, and we are offering some fantastic rates too ;) Thanks again Zoe and John Property Owner
Allen June 2024

“The mobile home is only a few months old and in very good condition as were the furnishings which are of a high standard.”

It was fully equipped including all necessary cooking and eating implements. The mobile is sited on a caravan site but at the far end from the entrance on an area where only mobile homes and lodges are allowed. There is a good sized patio area with furniture and a gas bbq. The site was nice and quiet mainly with caravans many of which appeared to be on the site fairly permanently. We were made very welcome by the owners who provided good instructions for our arrival and who were easy to contact with any queries during our stay. Allen & Christine Harvey

- Allen, June 2024

Hi Allen and Christine. Apologies for my late reply but I was away for a holiday myself, so have only just seen your lovely feedback. Thank you so much for your kind words and I'm so happy that you both enjoyed your stay with us. I'm a bit of a foodie and have always hated it when we have gone away only to find a couple of frying pans, a wooden spoon and a fish slice as the only kind of kitchen implement, so we really have tried to provide a myriad of utensils, mixing bowls, baking and serving dishes etc enabling our guests to cook whatever their hearts desire. I'm glad you approved of the 'site' itself as we think it really is a 'cut above' the norm, which can look a bit tired and tacky. Thank you also for leaving the lodge so clean and tidy . . . come back anytime ;) x Property Owner
Dale June 2024

“Perfect location for exploring the Cotswolds, the place was so comfortable and ...”

Perfect location for exploring the Cotswolds, the place was so comfortable and lovely and such friendly hosts making sure we had everything we needed ( including treats left out for the dog )

- Dale, June 2024

Hi Dale - thanks a lot :), we're so glad you enjoyed yourself and found Tiggywinkles to be so comfortable. We are real dog lovers ourselves, so always like to leave something for any fur babies that come to stay - after all, it's their holiday too! Would love to have you back anytime. Many thanks Zoe, John, Peanut and Frazzle (our fur babies) Property Owner
Victoria May 2024

“We had a lovely stay at Tiggyinkles.”

The owners communicated very well with us and upon arrival had left biscuits, tea, coffee and milk which was very welcome and a lovely gesture. The lodge was immaculate and very comfortable with everything in good working order. The location was great for exploring the beautiful Cotswold area and we hope to return again soon. We would definitely recommend.

- Victoria, May 2024

Hi Victoria. We are so happy to hear that you and your guests liked the lodge and had fun - what a pity you only stayed a couple of nights though as I really feel that you need a good four days to have a proper look around the area . . . maybe next time ;) ! Do bear us in mind around Christmas time, as there are some great deals to be had and the Cotswolds is truly magical around the 'silly season' and, let's face it, the weather will probably be better!!! Many thanks again Zoe and John Property Owner
Karen May 2024

“Fantastic location to explore the Cotswolds.”

The site itself is quiet and well looked after and very dog friendly. The accommodation was very clean and tidy. We all found the beds very comfortable (and I have a bad back) and it was obvious the beds are new also loved the showers very modern and easy to control. Everything was thought about well as there was even an umbrella handy. Thank you Zoe.

- Karen, May 2024

Hi Karen. Thanks for all your lovely comments. I hope the weather allowed you and your husband to explore the area with your doggies, as there really are some beautiful walks in the surrounding countryside. I'm glad you found the lodge to your liking, especially the beds, as a previous guest had found them uncomfortable so that was really good to hear. Thank you for leaving Tiggywinkles 'ship shape' for me, it was really appreciated and a huge thank you to your lovely plumber hubby who tightened my swivelling kitchen tap - I it was sending me mad! Your handwritten note was lovely, and you'll be pleased to hear that I have taken your suggestion on board and the lodge now possesses some bakeware dishes for lasagna and shepherds pies etc. Being an avid cook myself I can't believe I missed that one! Many thanks Zoe and John Property Owner
Mary May 2024

“This was a terrific find.”

Super secure site & an overnight noise curfew. The lodge was so deceptive. Really modern & clean. Great location too. It’s on my list of places to revisit.

- Mary, May 2024

Hi Mary, I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay - it's so peaceful isn't it. We refer to the lodge as 'the Tardis', as it really is deceptively spacious. I hope you and your guest took the opportunity to explore the area as there are so many fab places to visit and if you didn't see Woodstock and Blenheim and The Chequers pub/restaurant in neighbouring Churchill I seriously advise going on your return trip, as they are amazing - but you really are spoilt for choice. Thank you for texting me your early departure time and leaving the lodge so clean and tidy, as it allowed me to offer the next guests an early check-in, which I like to do whenever possible. We hope to see you again in the near future, Zoe and John Property Owner
Pearl-ann April 2024

“Immaculate property.”

Everything you need for a great vacation. Couldn’t fault it. Very nice quiet site. Comfort personified.Watched the hares each morning in the field. Truly enjoyable stay. Look forward to visiting again. Thank you Zoe for use of your Lodge, you should be proud.

- Pearl-ann, April 2024

Hi Pearl-Ann. So glad you and your guest had such a nice stay - we love watching the bunnies frolicking in the fields too, as do our dogs Peanut and Frazzle, although they do so rather more noisily! Our neighbours said you were both utterly delightful, which was proven more so after I arrived to do my changeover clean and basically had nothing to do, as you had obviously cleaned the lodge from top to bottom - what a lovely lady you are. We would happily welcome you for a return visit anytime. Kindest regards Zoe and John Property Owner
John Michael April 2024

“Very comfortable accommodation, well equipped and immaculate.”

Good communication with owners. Thanks for a great stay, we will return.

- John Michael, April 2024

Many thanks for your feedback and thank you for your handwritten note. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and we would love to have you all back again anytime. Please thank Sarah again for stripping the beds and hoovering :)! Hope to see you again soon. All the best Zoe and John Property Owner
Gregory April 2024

“This mobile home is well-situated, well-presented and spotlessly clean.”

We found the furnishing/beds very comfortable. In summary - two adults and two dogs enjoyed our stay. The location is private at the edge of a caravan Park which was only partly occupied for our stay (April). There is a small Waitrose within walking distance - but you need to cross a busy road. Nearby Chipping Norton and eg Churchill are great for a visit and pub meal.

- Gregory, April 2024

Thanks a lot for your feedback and we're glad you enjoyed your stay and that you found the lodge to be immaculately clean - I always knew my slight OCD tendencies would come in handy at some point! Hopefully the terrible weather didn't dampen your experience and it was lovely to receive your note about how much you enjoyed our favorite restaurant (The Chequers in Churchill). As with all our previous guests, a big thank you for leaving the lodge so clean and tidy it really is always appreciated. Kindest regards Zoe and John Property Owner
Samantha March 2024

“We had a two night stay over Easter weekend, we got to arrive early with the heating already on for us thanks to Zoe who called us early.”

We arrived to a lovely hand written card and biscuits, which made us feel very comfortable. The entire lodge was immaculate and very well decorated. The motion light in the hallway was a lovely touch for checking my child in the night. Water pressure in the shower was good and the Wi-Fi helped us wind down in front of the tv with the fire on in the evening. We also visited the local crocodile zoo and wildlife park which we very much enjoyed.

- Samantha, March 2024

Many thanks Samantha for your fab feedback. We are yet to visit the wildlife park but hear it's a really good day out so it's definitely on our 'to do' list. So glad you managed to get out and about as the weather was pretty shocking. Thank you for stripping your beds and taking your rubbish to the communal bins when you left, it was most appreciated. All the best John and Zoe Property Owner
Adam March 2024

“Had a call from the owner a few hours before check in to advise it had al been cleaned and was ready for check in at anytime.”

She even offered to put the heating on for us just before we arrived too. Once we arrived the place was just as described. A very modern and comfortable lodge with everything you would need. We were greeted by a welcome card which was hand written and a box of chocolate fingers too. There was even some dog treats , mat, bowl and towel all ready to use as well. Everything was great and we enjoyed a very relaxing stay. Would highly recommend

- Adam, March 2024

Thanks a lot Adam, we are so pleased you, your guest and your doggie had a lovely time, even if the weather was horrendous - typical English springtime! I always like to offer an early check-in if I manage to get the place cleaned early on in the day, as my partner and I know that every second counts when taking a short break away. Hopefully you will consider returning when the weather is better, so you can take advantage of the outside decking and BBQ - as it really is wonderful when the sun shines. Thanks again for your kind words, Zoe and John Property Owner
Kevin March 2024

“Beautiful lodge we enjoyed are stay here.”

It was exceptionally clean, along with having everything you needed. The welcome treats were very much appreciated a lovely touch. Would definitely recommend if we ever visit the area again we would have no hesitation to stay once more. Great communication with the owners once again thank you.

- Kevin, March 2024

Hi Kevin, thank you so much for your kind feedback and we are so glad that you and your furry friends enjoyed your stay. Once again, many thanks for leaving it so clean (you really didn't need to hoover but it was most appreciated), and we would love to have you back anytime :) Best wishes Zoe and John Property Owner
Dean February 2024

“Spotlessly clean and everything we needed.”

Would definitely recommend Tiggywinkles.

- Dean, February 2024

Hi Dean, Thank you for your lovely feedback, especially as you were are very first guests! You guys left the place immaculately, so a huge thankyou from me, as my 'changeover' was a doddle! I really hope you come and stay again should you find yourself working in the area. Many thanks Zoe x Property Owner
