  A really lovely stay, a beautiful surroundings and all the facilities you need - it was a nice touch having the hot tub ready on arrival, the only negative is the bed isn't really comfortable and quite hard, but other than that, I cannot fault a thing

• "We stayed for 2 nights at the Shepherds hut, it was absolutely incredible!"

  We were taken down to the hut in a buggy which was a really nice touch! Our hot tub was warmed for us on arrival. I’d say overall one of the best places we have stayed, definitely 5* and we will definitely be returning!

• "We had an amazing 3 night stay."

  We were met on arrival and taken to our hut along with our luggage on a golf buggy. Brendan and his team are lovely and happy to answer any questions. The hot tub was heated up ready for arrival so we could go straight in. The hut was idyllic with all the kitchen utensils you could need, the huts positioned perfectly to allow everyone privacy and their own area. Shepard hut is situated next to a private lake off to the side of the main lake the other huts are on giving you the perfect place to sit and relax. The views are amazing, this is the perfect place to relax and get away. The local area is so peaceful, with just a short walk to the pub, The George and Dragon with some beautiful alpaca greeting you on the way. We will definitely return again.

• "Bridge Lake Farm is a wonderful experience."

  Set in the countryside but with easy access to the local village and pub. It is 10 minutes drive to Banbury and there is a local reliable hourly bus service that takes you into the centre of Banbury via a major retail park. We were made fo feel very welcome by the owner Brendan and had a few wonderful chats with James a caretaker. The fishing was very good with a nice variety of carp, roach and many tench. My biggest compliment to the place is that we are already planning to return.

• "Our short stay experience in The Shepherds hut was everything we wished for."

  We were met by Brendan who whisked us and our luggage from the car park down to the hut in a stretched golf buggy. The hut was carefully tucked away in a discreet corner of the lake, but you still had good views over the lake from the hut’s slightly elevated position. The hut’s veranda guided you down to its own pond where you could observe shoals of Rudd swimming about in the clear water. Enjoyed the hot tub very much which had been fired up prior to our arrival. If anything it was a little too hot to start with! Fished the main lake and caught plenty of small fish (sweet corn worked) which was good fun. A short walk across a well signed footpath took us into the picturesque village of Chacombe where we enjoyed a lovely meal in The George and Dragon. The hut provided for all our needs for a short stay. If we were to be hyper critical the bed was firmer than what we are used to and a welcome pack would have been a nice touch. All in all a little piece of heaven that we would recommend to anyone and will definitely be returning. Thanks!

• "Had a fabulous relaxing stay in the Shepherd's Hut."

  Was so peaceful and lots of nature around. The fishing was good but no big carp was caught. The hot tub was fabulous and the whole place was just idyllic for a break away. We will certainly return. Brendan and his team were all very helpful. Only one small suggestion my husband would make is to have maybe have an outside small storage box of some kind, to store his fishing tackle and bait, away from the hungry wildlife.

• "We had a two night stay in the Shepherds Hut for my birthday this weekend."

  We wanted peace, beautiful surroundings, privacy and romance and they had it all and then some. The owner was waiting on arrival to drive us and our luggage to our hut door where he showed us how to operate the underfloor heating, freshwater hot tub and generally settle us in. The grounds are exquisite and the Shepherds Hut especially as it comes with its own mini lake full of fish. There are some excellent walks, lovely local pub and the option to walk Alpaca around the lakes. The hut is well maintained, equipped with basic needs and very clean with towels and towelling gowns that were perfect when getting out of the hot tub. Only gripe is the mattress is very very hard and uncomfortable however this is just a personal preference. All in all we had a truly wonderful stay and would highly recommend.

• "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 couldn’t have asked for more. Five stars all round from us!

  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.

  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 Wi-Fi 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. Towels/soaps/bin bags/washing up liquid/cloths/sponge 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 tub/fire pit/bbq. 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.
