Timber Lodge - Floorplan 1
Add to Shortlist
Timber Lodge is a peaceful couples retreat, just a stone’s throw from the pretty town of Woodstock and Blenheim Palace. Tucked into a quiet courtyard, this spacious and thoughtfully designed escape boasts an open plan ground floor, a private terrace, and a stylish super-king bedroom and en-suite bathroom on the first floor. This is a place where you can enjoy the best of both worlds, there are countryside walks from the front door and the Oxfordshire Way, which meanders from Bourton-on-the-Water all the way to the River Thames in Henley, is nearby. There is also easy access to the glorious city of Oxford, or the myriad delights of the Bicester Village Designer Outlet, as well as the beautiful landscapes, charming villages, and many attractions of the Cotswolds. Buff Lodge is just across the courtyard and sleeps four guests, making these two properties ideal for small groups who want to travel together but have their own independent space.

Reviews

This property is well equipped, it's peaceful, it's comfortable, Lisa, the owner is very friendly and helpful, it's very well located, it's fresh and, and, and...You have a bus that leaves every hour to and from Oxford (a 40 minute ride) or if you prefer the train, there's a station within a 10 minute walk and this takes only 9 minutes to the centre of Oxford. The Cotswolds are a short drive away and there are many interesting places even closer. Country walks are outside the door. I could go on but let's just say this was perfect for us.

Everything you could need for a very pleasant few days away. Convenient for frequent bus service (the stop is literally yards away) and trains. Possibly the biggest bed we have ever seen! Lisa was extremely pleasant and accommodating and full of local knowledge.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Timber Lodge. It was very well appointed and spotlessly clean. We will definitely be returning. Thank you Lisa.

We had a very enjoyable stay with the owner close by to answer any questions. Very comfortable accommodation and handy for Oxford, Blenheim and other tourist attractions, especially if you have a car. We would certainly stay there again if we were in the area.

We had a lovely stay at the lodge. A fantastic big bed and lovely spacious rooms with plenty of room for a little one to crawl around. The host Lisa couldn’t do enough for us and was absolutely brilliant and providing recommendations on where to visit locally. This is one of the premier 1 bedroom properties we have stayed in and we look forward to staying again.

A few years ago my son and his mother came to stay from Norway for Christmas as my mum and sister live in the village but don’t have enough room for two extra visitors. They stayed in the adjacent property, Buff Lodge, which was ideal as it has two bedrooms. This time my son and his girlfriend came for my mum’s 92nd birthday on the Saturday and Mother’s Day on the Sunday. The owner always leaves milk and essentials and lives next door and is very approachable if needed but is never intrusive. Both properties are like a home from home.

We had a lovely weekend staying here. Everything was so clean and tidy. The location is perfect. Lisa was an amazing host who provided so much information to us. It was perfect! We’d definitely come back again.

Location

Tackley is a charming village with a strong sense of community. The Village Shop is run by the locals and offers a wide range of groceries, newspapers, locally grown produce and freshly baked goods. The Village Hall hosts a pop-up pub on a Friday, which is well-supported and a wonderful way to meet the locals. Woodstock and Blenheim Palace are just three miles away, whilst the ancient university city of Oxford is only 10 miles away. There is a bus stop with a direct service to Oxford moments away and a direct rail link to Oxford, London, and Bicester Village, within walking distance.
