"The Tunnel provided us with our best holiday cottage to date, after six years of retirement."
It's ideally located for Blenheim Palace, Warwick Castle, Bicester and Stratford, for a start. As for the cottage itself, it's in the most idyllic, peaceful location, whilst at the same time providing every modern luxury. We didn't use the hot tub, although a friend tells me it was state of the art, but we did enjoy afternoons in the sunny back garden. Brendan, the host, couldn't have been more welcoming and having watched his YouTube video about the site, we really wish we had left a bottle of wine in gratitude for a wonderful holiday.
