"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.

"We had a wonderful week staying in the Tunnel."
The space is stunning, private, peaceful and well-maintained. The bed is really comfy, and the hot-tub was so lovely it took quite a lot of effort to persuade ourselves to get out of it! Everything has been carefully thought out to provide a relaxing stay, and Brendan was on hand to help or answer any questions promptly and efficiently. We hope to stay again in future - many thanks!

"We spent a week at the tunnel bridge lake farm over Christmas, what a spectacular place."
Firstly, the host brendan was very welcoming and explained how to operate all facilities clearly.
The location is tranquil, looking out to the lake through huge windows. The furnishings are very modern and everything you need is supplied.
The bed was one of the most comfortable I have slept in, waking up to lookout to the lake and surrounding countryside is picturesque.
I couldn't recommend this place enough. The photos are exactly what you get.
The hot tub is a great addition to spend your late winter nights. I wish I could live there to be honest.
Thank you Brendan for letting us spend our best Christmas holiday at the tunnel. We will love to come back in the near future.

"This is a fabulous property in a beautiful and peaceful setting."
Fitted out and decorated to a really high standard, it was the perfect romantic getaway and we had rebooked within hours of leaving.
The only minor drawback was we didn’t have mobile phone reception…(although of course there is great WiFi) but some might think that is a positive advantage!!!!!

"Can't even begin to put into words how relaxing this 2 week stay at The Tunnel was."
Everything was even more perfect that it looked on the photos. From the moment we stepped onto the site, we knew this was exactly what we'd been looking for....absolutely beautiful. The whole site is a real credit to Brendan and his team. Spotlessly clean, superbly maintained without any intrusion on your privacy. The Tunnel is amazing, no skimping on luxuries either. The woodfired hot tub is a dream & stayed hot all day without the need to keep making the fire up (which was our initial concern when we booked) We were so impressed, we used it everyday! We'll definitely be visiting this place again.

"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.

"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.

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.
