"We had a wonderful week at The Tunnel."

As soon as we arrived Brendan was on hand to show us around. The Tunnel is amazing and so is the setting. Every morning we’d wake up, and lift the blinds to a beautiful view of the lake and all of its wildlife. It is so peaceful and the perfect place to relax and unwind. Brendan and his whole team made us feel so welcome. It was definitely one of the best UK holidays we’ve ever had. Paul and Loraine.

"Lovely property in beautiful, quiet surroundings."

Loved the hot tub and my husband loved the fishing. Very close to local pub and Banbury for takeaways, restaurants or the train station. I feel the amount it cost that tea and coffee should be supplied for at least one cup each day. I don’t feel you should have to go out and buy this at this price range. We also had 1 sachet of sugar when we were staying 3 nights! With the hot tub it would be useful to have an airer for drying your wet swimwear and towels. The towel warmer didnt work. It would also be useful to have a hair dryer which is usually standard in holiday accommodation

Thank you for your response. When I check guests in, I advise them if they have any issues or need anything to text or give me a call - with my number provided already, as needed for gate codes. With regards to the washing line, there is one provided in the back garden - it looks like a silver disc on the wall. The hairdryers are available upon request (we have now since put them in all the accommodation) but we do and will continue to send out a full inventory of items at the property prior to arrival so all guests are aware of what they will be supplied with. I personally went into the property to check the towel rail was in working condition and have confirmed that it was and is. There are two controls for it, one is the heat and one (the larger lit button) is the on/off switch. Lastly, the one sachet of sugar is something we apologise for an have rectified for customers going forward. However, we would have happily rectified and discussed all of the above if we had been contacted by yourselves during your stay. Property Owner

"Was a lovely break and can't fault it."

Enough to do with an easy 10 minute drive to places for meals out or a bit of personal shopping and a few minutes walking distance pub. Hot tub for evening chill. WiFi with smart TVs which of course is needed now days. And the property is Lovely inside and out. Great place to escape for a few days to truly relax. Will be a place we will go too again if we can.

"We've just got back from a 4 night stay in The Tunnel and it was absolutely lovely."

The whole of Bridge Lake Farm - accommodation, site and all surrounding areas were very well maintained, clean and just gorgeous. The Tunnel itself is high spec and has everything you need. The hot tub was great and was set up for us to use straight away. Excellent communication from the owner Brendan, even called to tell us we could get in early! A special mention to James as well for being so friendly and helpful. Thank you for a lovely stay.

"What amazing use of an unusual space all the comforts of home and spotlessly clean."

The view over the lake was very pretty especially in the evenings with the reflection of the lights fron the lodges opposite reflecting on the water. Having the hot tub and garden furniture under a canopy was an added bonus for us as the weather wasn’t great. Thank you Brendan and will hopefully be back soon.

From start to finish we were amazed with the location, facilities and overall experience.

"Wow! What a wonderful place."

We had an amazing weekend, the tunnel is exactly as described, has been decorated to a fantastic standard and the attention to detail was wonderful. Brendan was so helpful and welcoming and took great care showing us around and how everything worked. He even got the hot tub going so it was ready for our arrival. We enjoyed a lovely long walk in the countryside, long afternoons at the local pub who again were very friendly and the hot tub was a real treat to relax in every evening. We can’t wait to come back soon for another complete relax and enjoy the beautiful views.
