The Shepherds Hut at Bridge Lake Farm & Fishery Reviews

Archie

Absolutely lovely and remote little retreat with all you need for a quiet time away. Couldnt ask for much more as it has what you need for your time away and with great hosts.

Thank you very much for a great week away. The hut exceeding our expectations and we would definitely like to return for an another relaxing week.

WOW , what a super idyllic place to have spent 4 days, it does what it says on the tin, we came back fully chilled and relaxed , all private cabins , not over looked other than your food you don't need to take anything else Brendan the owner cannot do enough for you & made us feel very welcome. 100 recommend you to go and stay.

We loved our stay at Bridge Lake Farm and Fishery. The setting is beautiful, the accommodation is comfortable, with everything you need for a relaxing break. Thank you, we will definitely be back.

We had an amazing stay at the shepards hut, there was nothing I could pick fault with at all. Brendan was a great host, he really knew what he was doing. As a young couple we were treated like anyone else which I thought was really nice, we will 100 be looking to come back, I would highly recommend bridge lake farm and fishery to anyone for a peaceful break, you wont find anywhere else like this in the area.

Lovely two night stay in the Shepherds Hut, the 5pm check in was a little disappointing as we were eager to start our break, but headed to Bicester for some retail therapy and received a message about 2pm to advise we could check in early, met by great host and golf buggyed with our luggage to our Shepherds Hut, fantastic accommodation with every you need or want for short stays, attention to detail was second to none, only criticism was bed , not comfortable and flat pillows, but this is personal preference and sure others would be happy, the grounds and accommodation were well maintained, and the wood fire hot tub was like taking a bath, bliss. The views second to none Will definitely return and try another accommodation Highly recommend this place for a short break, in beautiful surroundings and high quality accommodation

Lovely place to stay, quiet and well kept surroundings.

Katarzyna

WOW! What an idyllic setting in a beautiful peaceful place. This hidden gem transports you away from the hustle and bustle of daily life and really is a haven if you want some peace and privacy in a lovely tranquil environment. If you want to get away or your own or with your other half, the best part about this place is that it is childfree and pet free with all the extra creature comforts to give your stay a bit of luxury under one roof. Booking was a breeze and the owners are excellent at communication and giving you info on the best amenities in the local area. The hot tub was a real treat and the beds and pillows were sumptuous. Everything was spotlessly clean and we couldnt have asked for more. Five stars all round from us!

Richard

Very welcoming stay, and good communication before and after the holiday, the lodge was ready on arrival,

Krisztian

We had a lovely stay, Brendan was an excellent and most helpful host who always replied immediately, even on a Sunday afternoon. The hut was exactly as advertised and had everything that is needed for a relaxing holiday. Beautiful sunset by the lake with barbecue, followed by a splash in the woodfired hottub. All in all Bridge Lake Farm is run both professionally and with a personal touch, I would definitely recommend it to everyone who wants to get away from the noise of the city.

Catalina

Lovely place to relax, great walks too. Service was amazing, they asked if we wanted the hot tub ready for our arrival. Well equipped kitchen and appliances. We will definitely go back! Thank you!

Frankie

We couldnt fault the place! Thank you for such a lovely stay. We will definitely be back!

Absolutely stunning, fell in love with the place and definitely didn't want to leave

Beautiful hut, just big enough for 2 people. Everything you need is in the hut. Loved the hot tub and our own little pond!

Sabina

Myself and my partner have stayed at the Stepherds Hut at Bridge Lake Farm & Fishery from Friday until Sunday. We wanted a relaxing stay and that is exactly what we got. From when we arrived to when we left, Brandon owner was very helpful, welcoming and a great host. Anything that we needed or asked for he was there within minutes. The lodge was absolutely beautiful, great facilities and cleanliness. Overlooking the lake, very peaceful and quiet area. Hot tub was easy to use and easy to set up. We loved everything about our stay and we will definitely be returning.

Samantha

This was the most perfect destination, location and holiday. Brendan was a lovely host, very courteous and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. The hot tub was fantastic the fire pit was splendid. The hut was compact and neat, everything there that you could need. Local pub 'George and Dragon' is lovely, closed on monday and sandwiches only Tuesday but hot food for rest of the week a simple menu but delicious. Great surrounding towns and countryside all in all a superb holiday and one most definately to be repeated.

Stevie

We booked 2 nights wishing we had booked for longer it was amazing, so peaceful. Had a lovely day out beforehand shopping at Bicester Village, lunch at the local pub which is just 5 mins away. Will definitely be coming back next year!

This is the best place ever to go if you want to just unwind and relax. Everything was perfect from the start. Brendan our host was welcoming and he was there for you just a call away. You didn't have to want for anything. 1010 would recommend to everyone. Just so peaceful. Will be coming back next year.

Danielle

My husband and I recently celebrated our honeymoon here for 2 nights and stayed in the Shepherds Hut. From before we arrived to our departure we had the most amazing experience, Brendan was the friendliest and welcoming host and went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and happy. The views are stunning, the atmosphere is peaceful and tranquil with the constant sound of nature surrounding us. All of the facilities were amazing, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back again and again!!

Collin

The location was idyllic for us. The silence only broken by the sound nature. We just sat and watched wildlife take its course. Better than any TV programme. We may be back O

Tamara

The lodge was amazing so peaceful and perfect to escape too. We were here for 6 days and would of happily stayed for longer. The guy that owns it was so helpful and friendly. Will definitely be returning as soon as we can. Banbury is only 10 minutes away and is a lovely town with everything you need. If you need a couples get away I couldn't think of anywhere better to be honest.

Upon arrival we were greeted with a lovely gentlemen who helped us take all our luggage on a golf buggy down to the lodge. He explained the use of all the facilities and leisure near by. He was always one call away and never failed to help. Hot tub and bbq was easy to set up and maintain alone and any additional wood can be provided for a small additional charge. All furnishings were modern and to a high spec. Beds were super comfortable with a flat screen smart tv on a flexible bracket allowing it to face the bed or sofa with great views. Kitchen was provided with all equipment and bbq utensils with adequate lounge space. Plenty of storage for your clothes and items. Shower is a very good pressure with controllable temperature. Great WiFi signal. Quiet scenery. Amazing views. Surrounded by warm spot lights around the path and lodge. Welcome handbook had all the information Needed including local restaurants and there menus. Bus times. Use directions for hot tub. Towelssoapsbin bagswashing up liquidclothssponge and a torch if your going out at night all provided. Lots of plug sockets and USB sockets available. Great distance away from neighbouring lodges. Secluded lodge with Private lake area. Can be designed yourself to any occasions. On this occasion it was my 24th birthday. We used the hot tubfire pitbbq. I would like to personally thank Brendan for making our stay unforgettable for all the right reasons. We will definitely be back in the summer. 1000 recommended to everyone.

Fantastic place to stay, very quiet which is different to everyday life living in a town. Brendan was brilliant from start to finish! Very well organised. Id recommend a washing line or an airer, just mainly for drying towels once out the hot tub! Options for a few more pillows for sleeping.

Leeroy

Such a beautiful place, incredibly friendly and helpful host, so modern, clean and private. Will definitely return and would highly recommend.

This was an amazing place I would recommend and will be coming back! The staff were helpful, the facilities came to good use WiFi,oven, TV, heating, fridge, the shower was lovely and powerful. The cabin was a good size for two people, and the hot tub was easy to use and was so relaxing! The view was beautiful over looking the pond and the fields in the back with it all lit up.

Amazing lodge in a fantastic location. A great peaceful rustic escape with all the mod cons! Host very attentive and welcoming! Would definitely return and would highly recommend! Thanks for a great stay!
