Maple Lodge at Bridge Lake Farm & Fishery

We really enjoyed our stay at Maple Lodge.

It was so clean and had everything we needed. The shower was great and the water got hot really quickly. The lodge was very private, especially the hot tub area. It was so peaceful, you could hear the birds and there was hardly any noise. I loved using the BBQ and sitting out on the deck looking over the lake. The owner also left a really useful manual explaining how to use everything, as well as recommendations for local cafés, restaurants, takeaways, salons and bars. There were also lots of local walks nearby with really nice views. It was definitely worth it and we had such a nice break. I’d love to come back again!

Fantastic spot, very cute lodge.

Everything was spotlessly clean and well thought out. Brendon was very helpful and friendly. Only minor gripe was that there could be the option of having a little more privacy, either retractable curtain or tall potted plants. In high temperatures we weren’t able to have the doors open because the people opposite could see straight in. We managed to place the hot tub lid and some dressing gowns strategically to stop us catching each other looking and catching each others eye when using the outside area. In saying that, it certainly wouldn’t stop us visiting again. Look forward to coming back in the winter

First time with my husband 1 year wedding anniversary.

We love it the layout fishing friendly staff everythink you needed. we will be booking again for next year

Lovely place to stay, so peaceful and relaxing.

We had an absolutely lovely week!

The accommodation was lovely and clean and had everything we needed! It was the perfect place to just sit and relax! We had a brilliant week fishing too! We will 100% come back!

Hi, from the start to the last day the setting was perfect for a few days away.

Although the lodges are small - everything was there and the view from the decking was incredible. The wild life was lovely to see - and the kingfisher made an appearance on the fence in early morning. The hot tub was also amazing.

We had an incredible stay at Maple Lodge and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it.

Set beside a beautiful lake, the accommodation is cosy yet perfectly designed, with everything needed for a three-night stay. It was spotlessly clean, with a very comfortable bed and a stunning outdoor space. Brendan was the perfect host from the moment we arrived, and the whole setting felt peaceful, well cared for, and impossible to fault. With a lovely pub just a short walk away offering great food and a welcoming atmosphere, everything you could need is close at hand. We genuinely didn’t want to leave and will most certainly be returning.

We had a really injoyable stay.

Staff are very frendly and helpful and checked that everything was ok with us during our stay. Hope to be able to stay again in the future.

A truly tranquil location, very enjoyable fishing with abundance of nice Roach and Rudd to just over 1lb, several small Carp to just over 3lb.

Friendly, helpful owners and staff, super facilities including hot tub, fire pit and comfortable lodge with everything we needed for our getaway-from-it-all break.

The lodge itself was lovely — spotless, cozy, and with a beautiful view over the lake.

A peaceful, well-kept place. Unfortunately, my arrival felt a little rushed and gave the impression that he wanted to finish up quickly. I’d asked for the hot tub not to be heated until the next day, but it was already on. When I messaged to request a reheat the following day, it did reach 40°, but the bottom remained cold — probably not ideal for a chilly winter day. I didn’t feel comfortable asking again, which was a shame.

Brendan and the team went above and beyond for our stay.

It was the perfect little getaway. Extremely accommodating and so friendly.

We were really happy with our stay.

The accommodation was great for 2 people and provided a lovely little getaway.

Lovely welcome and customer service.

Lodge was beautiful! If you want a relaxing few days away from all the noise and hussle it’s the place to be. Not so much for the fishing the though.

Stayed here for 3 nights, in maple lodge.

The lodge was spotlessly clean, super cosy with underfloor heating. Had everything you needed, great shower too. The fishing was great, nothing huge but some lovely roach, tench etc on float tactics. Brendan and staff, really helpful. Would highly recommend, and will definitely be going back. Mark.

We will 100% be returning to maple Lodge From the start we were very warmly welcomed and showed around.

The Lodge was absolutely perfect. Very very clean and tidy. What a beautiful peaceful place to stay.

What a fabulous setting.

We really enjoyed just sitting and looking out over the lake. Quiet and relaxing.

Bridge lake farm is absolutely amazing,calm peaceful, and a great place to get away from it all, beautiful accommodation and great fishing, and a big thank you to Brendan who made us very welcome, we will definitely be returning

The cabin was clean and tidy, and the estate was amazing.

Brendan met us and when my wife told him that I was waiting for a back operation and couldn't walk far he told us that we could park our car outside the cabin. He had texted me to ask if we would like the hot tub ready for when we got there, which we enjoyed. As I was fishing for the carp it was slow going I only managed to catch 1 small mirror which was in excellent condition ( that's fishing for you,) as this was the first time in over a year that I have been able to fish it was still nice to be fishing again. The gentleman in the next cabin was catching loads of Roach and Rudd which made me wish I had bought my float rod. When I was talking to Brendan when he was showing us around he said he was going to net the lake, this I suggest he do as when I was trying to surface fish for the Carp the moment that you put some bait out the small fish attacked it like a mass of piranha, they surtainly need thinning out. Brendan you have a smashing place keep up the good work, if I could give you more than 5 star's I would.

What a beautiful , peaceful relaxing place!

As soon as you make your up the drive you can feel yourself relax. We were met by Brendan who took us down to Maple Lodge, right on the lake. He explained all about the wood fired hot tub (which he kindly had ready for our arrival ) & the fire pit. The lodge is small but perfectly formed , Brendan & his team have thought of everything you would need. Free wifi. Hand soap , hair & shower gel in the bathroom . Little sachets of salt & pepper , milk , sugar , coffee , tea bags & even biscuits & a little bottle of washing up liquid in the kitchen & lighters to light the fire. There are enough glasses , crockery & utensils for 2 people & bbq stuff for the fire pit it if you’re wanting to cook on it. The hot tub was amazing !! Robes & towels are provided! The bed is a double & very comfortable, had a great nights sleep. The blinds make the cabin very cool during the day which was a welcome relief after all the wonderful weather we have had. There is underfloor heating for the winter time. T.V with freeview that you can position so you can watch from the bed. There really is everything you would need for a short stay away. The fishing … this is a well stocked lake , loads & loads of little tench , Rudd , roach & crucian carp a few ounces in weight & we had 1 skimmer bream. There are bigger ones of all of these species as well. We caught a few bigger fish, biggest being a 3lb mirror carp. Caught too many cray fish … on the whole float fishing works best here , we had great fun pulling in the little fighting tench & crucians. There were definitely some bigger carp over 6lb that managed to get away. Our stay at Bridge Lake farm & fisheries was lovely , we enjoyed every minute. Can’t wait to book again.

Perfect stay, comfortable, clean and a beautiful spot.

Brendan was lovely and super helpful and welcoming. Will definitely return.

Beautiful, will definitely be returning

Our third time staying at Bridgelake and it was absolutely amazing as per usual!

Maple lodge was gorgeous, had everything you needed, all the creature comforts along with a lovely hot tub and bbq for plenty of burgers. Staff were brilliant with Brendan providing top notch service and checking on us throughout our stay, even gave us a bottle of Prosecco as a thank you! Caught plenty of roach, even a couple carp and tench! Couldn’t recommended Bridgelake enough and already booking for our fourth stay next year!

Beautiful place.

Very restful weekend.

Great place for a getaway.

Ver clean and quiet. Hot tub there is really a unique selling point as it comes with a lake view (for Maple and Oak). Brendon and the staff are not only professional but also friendly. Would definitely love to visit next time.

Holiday let was fabulous clean and all essentials available will be returning

Just returned from an absolutely amazing first stay here and already booked to return.

If I could give higher than 5* I would. Beautiful lodges, stunning scenery, fabulous host and caught a lovely fish. If you are looking for a quiet hideaway 100% recommend. Brendan goes above and beyond as well as other staff. Hot tubs are amazing and stay hot even when snowing! The logs from Brendon are great to burn in either the hot tub or the BBQ/fire pit no need to bring any with you.

After a really terrible year we wanted a relaxing short break.

It was definitely that, beautiful location and really peaceful. My husband enjoyed the fishing and hot tub was a bonus. Brendan and his team were very welcoming. Thankyou

Right from the start the communication from the hosts was faultless and they couldn't do enough for us.

We were given lots of information about the place and our stay. The location was absolutely stunning and if you are after a serene, tranquil stay, this is the place! It was the most relaxing environment with beautiful surroundings. The lodge itself was beautiful and the added pleasure of the hot tub made it that bit more luxurious. The facilities were really good and other than perhaps needing a few more places to hang towels to dry e.g. a couple of hooks on the back of the bathroom door, we honestly couldn't think of anything that would have made this place better! Thank you so much for a wonderful stay and I'm sure we'll be back again in the future!

Absolutely surperb accomadation and location

We absolutely loved our stay!

The surroundings were beautiful and it was a perfect space to relax’

Maple lodge is the perfect place to unwind, relax and enjoy nature.

The owner was very welcoming and helpful.Truly a unique experience well worth a visit. Loved every minute of it xx

I had an average stay, setting was really lovely on a sunny day.

The pictures make the accommodation look much bigger than it actually is. We didn't have internet, hot water or matches and had to keep calling guest services. For the price paid I don't think these issues should occur. The internet was so bad the TV kept freezing (even when the internet was fixed) bathroom has a really strong smell of sewage so we had to keep the window open. probably wouldn't return.

Absolutely fantastic.

Idyllic setting. Peaceful and beautiful.Short walk across fields to local pub. Brendan fired up the hot tub ready for our arrival..they had thought of everything.

Excellent stay very much enjoyed it.

Suggested improvements 1 provide a small saucepan 2 consider some form of cover above the door ro keep rain out with the door open

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at maple Lodge it was a nice peaceful break,the lodge was well maintained and clean.

the hot tub was a nice treat as well as it being warmed up for us by brendan for when we arrived. Would highly recommend.

Brendan and James were lovely the whole trip very welcoming and helpful.

The lodge was absolutely amazing and the hot tub was just perfect. Loved the fishing as well such a lovely place.

We have just come back from a fantastic 3 night stay at maple lodge, what a beautiful place to stay at this time of the year so I can just imagine how beautiful it is in the summer, Brendan text us before arriving to see if we wanted the hot tub heating up for our arrival, Brendan was there to meet us on our arrival and took us down to the lodge, really nice bloke, would recommend to anyone and hopefully be back in the summer.

My partner and i very much enjoyed our stay here.

Clean with most of the essentials. Very cozy, although we wished there were smarter storage built in. A minor issue especially staying for a few days! the hot tub was piping hot when we arrived - thanks brendon. we absolutely loved the hot tub with the wonderful view of the lake! Brendon was very helpful and accommodating. we really loved staying here and we will be back! thanks again!! :D

My partner and I was looking for a relaxing getaway for Christmas.

We stayed in Maple lodge, when we arrived it was dark and Brendan said we could drive down to the lodge to unload. It was very well lit up and even Christmas tres lit up around the lake. Which I thought was a lovely touch. The lodge was very comfortable, warm with underfloor heating. Brendan had got the hot tub ready for us ( we was straight in it). Brendan was always available if you needed anything and a very friendly guy. What Brendan and his family have created at the lake is perfect for a back to nature relaxing getaway. If you are thinking of booking please do as you will not be disappointed. Thank you to all at Bridge Lake Farm keep doing what your doing.

It was a beautiful vacation.

The place was comfortable, and the owner of the place was very nice and helpful. Everything was better than expected

My partner and I have just returned home from a 5 night stay in maple lodge, we had a brilliant time.

On the morning of our arrival Brendan sent a message offering to heat up the hot tub for us ready to use on our arrival (of course we accepted). Brendan was lovely and so helpful, always available if we needed anything and happy to help (even when my car battery died one evening he was happy to get the jump cables out and help me). The lake is beautiful and peaceful, we even managed to catch a little common carp in our fishing attempts. The llamas on the farm were lovely and let us pet them (with the bribe of feeding them some long grass we’d picked). We didn’t want to come home and already want to return. Highly recommend.

We stayed at bridge Lake farm for our mini moon it was lovely so peaceful everything is well looked after, greeted from the gate by brendon.

He was very friendly and welcoming helped us with our bags from the car to the lodge. We stayed in maple lodge and the view of the lake whilst we ate breakfast etc was just lovely

Very clean and well maintained property with excellent outdoor space and good fishing.

The owner, Brendan, was very helpful and takes a pride in the small complex of lodges. We stayed for a week with mixed weather and felt that the lodge was a little too cramped when the weather prevented use of the outdoor space.

I booked Maple lodge to celebrate my partner’s birthday and it truly was an amazing relaxing weekend.

The lodge itself had everything you needed. Brendan was a fabulous host very polite and helpful. We loved everything the lake, the lodge and the hot tub. We will definitely be coming back. Thank you I have already recommended to my friends.

We had an amazing stay at Maple lodge and we would love to return one day again in the future.

Brendan was very friendly and showed us to our lodge, picking us up in his golf buggy and taking us and our bags to our lodge. Everything was as advertised and just wonderful and relaxing. The hot tub was ready for us on arrival and lovely to relax in whilst looking at the lake. We had a very relaxing stay and I loved having breakfast on our porch in the early morning overlooking at the lake and watching the dragonflies. Any queries we had were resolved straight away by Brendan. We enjoyed walking to the surrounding villages too, all very easy and enjoyable. Would 100% recommend staying here and we hope to return one day soon. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

An absolutely beautiful and tranquil holiday lodge, thank you for your hospitality, it was really nice to be welcomed and taken to the lodge and have everything explained to us.

Nice friendly family run business

The property is equipped with everything you could possibly need to make your stay as comfortable as possible.

Loved that the hot tub is heated and ready for our arrival. Enjoyed cooking dinner on the bbq and lighting up the fire pit in the evening. Lovely local restaurants. Such beautiful surroundings, So peaceful. Very clean. Owner is very helpful and friendly. I’m sure we will visit for a third time at some point in the future. Love this place.

For us this was an excellent holiday choice as it was a beautiful location (on a lake) and very restful.

A big bonus was a cycle path of approximately 3 miles that led to a very famous and popular food hall! The hot tub was also a great asset, after a day of cycling, it was most restorative. It is a very good base for visitng many popular tourist attractions. We would definitely return to the lodge.

What a fantastic getaway we had, everything was ready for our arrival and explanation how to work everything.

Such a beautiful location and amazing hosts made our few days for our anniversary perfect!

Just been on a short break with my girlfriend, couldn't have asked for anything better!

Lovely little lodge with all the facilities you need. Beautiful location & we were well looked after by Brendan our host. Will be returning!

Just returned from 5 night stay @ Maple lodge , Bridge lake farm and fishery.

What an amazing and relaxing experience the lodge was comfortable with everything you need, from a nice long soak in the hot tub, sitting around the fire pit/ BBQ or just relaxing on the decking listening to the birds sing, Brendan his family and team have done a great job and are available at any time for any questions Highly recommend

Maple lodge was really lovely.

Excellent facilities in the lodge with decking , hot tub and fire pit outside to enjoy. Private and romantic. Quite secluded but there are walks to enjoy plus restaurants and pubs also. All details supplied in a handy booklet in the lodge. Very clean. Well maintained site. Would highly recommend for a romantic break.

Fantastic short break.

Meeted and greeted on arrival. 'Brendan' was very helpful, knowledgeable and even chauffeured us from the car park to the lodge. The accommodation was spotless and the hot tub was amazing. Would highly recommend, will definitely be returning. Thanks again 'Brendan' Lee

We had an amazing 2 days , so peaceful and quiet just the relaxing time we needed , the owners were so accommodating and couldn't do enough for us .

Would highly recommend to anyone looking to get away and reset and we will definitely be visiting again soon .

What a lovely place!

great for wildlife & quiet for getting away from the busy outside world & relaxing with the view over the lake. Brendan keeps the site in perfect order & is always on hand to make your stay comfortable. The cabin was well designed with quality equipment & perfect for two while the hot tub was great in the evenings. Fishing was lively with loads of smaller tench, carp & roach but didn't manage to catch the larger carp. A short walk over the fields to the pretty village led to a good pub with friendly owners while 10min away is the pretty canal village of cropready & 40 min gaydon historic motor museum. Would definitely recommend this property & not hesitate to return.

We had a super 5 night stay at Maple Lodge for my husband's 60th Birthday.

Everything was just as advertised, the lodge was spotlessly clean and well equipped, down to lovely thick white robes for the hot tub. The setting is stunning and the hot tub and fire pit were a definite asset, enjoyed every evening. My husband fished every day and thoroughly enjoyed the experience, finally catching an elusive carp on his last day! Though you don't need to fish to enjoy your time at Bridge Lake Farm. If you are looking for a calm, chilled, relaxing break away from it all, this is the place to go!

We had the most wonderful stay at Maple Lodge, the setting is beautiful and so tranquil.

Our lodge was spotless and had everything we needed during our stay. The bath robes and tea/coffee/biscuits were a nice touch too. The fire pit and hot tub were fantastic in such a beautiful setting. Brendan was a great host and was always nearby should you need anything. We wish we could have stayed longer but we will definitely be back. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

We’ve just got home from the most fantastic 4 days in Maple Lodge!

I cannot thank them enough for the extra mile they went to help me get my husbands birthday weekend off to the best start! The lodge was stunning and had everything we needed. Other than an evening to the pub for a birthday dinner we had everything we needed at the lodge and spent everyday in the hot tub. Theres something truly magical about Bridge Lakw, especially sitting in the hot tub watching the rain on the lake or watching the sun rise with a cup of coffee when everything is silent. We had such a fantastic time we’ve recommended to family and currently looking at a winter weekend stay as we can only imagine how stunning it is in the winter!

A very enjoyable and relaxing place to stay the peace and quiet made the break even better from arrival to departure Brendan was extremely helpful and nothing was to much trouble Keith &terri 28/4/23

Amazing place for a relaxing weekend away.

High spec accommodation, friendly and helpful owner who fis everything possible to make our stay fabulous. The hot tub was fantastic and stayed warm for hours. A beautiful part of the world too, would highly recommend.

Had such a wonderful stay at Maple Lodge!

The most relaxing and peaceful couple of days. Would definitely stay again! Definitely recommend

We have just returned from a 5 night stay at Maple Lodge at Bridge Farm and it was truly a 5 star stay.

Brendan is an amazing host who could not be more helpful. Nothing was too much trouble and he goes over and above to ensure guests have a good stay. The accommodation is well maintained and has everything you need down to your own bath robes. The location is stunning and the perfect peaceful retreat away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. We have no hesitation in giving this 10/10 and can’t wait to go back. Thank you Brendan

We will be back absolutely perfect

Ten reasons to choose Bridge Lake Farm 1.

The host faciliated an early check in and pre-heated the hot tub ready for our arrival. 2. The host provdied a warm greeting on arrival and helped with parking and taking our luggage to the lodge. 3. The lodge had suitable underfloor heating; which we could regulate, and that kept us warm when outside temperature was below freezzing. 4. The lake provides a beautiful and relaxing view from the ldoge. 5. Privacy is repspected - suitable blides on windows, a curtained gazebo outside and significant space between other lodges. 6. The lodge is close to picturesque local towns. We took advantage of the location and went on day trips to Oxford, Cotswold towns and Bicester shopping villiage. 7. The welcom folder contains infromation about local restaurants, pubs and village walks. We did the 11km pub walk. Please note, if you choose to do this walk not all pubs are open on Mondays and the Plough is no longer a pub and has been converted to a house. 8. The lodge itself is modern. We had access to wifi, Netflix and Prime this meant we didnt struggle with any first world problems. 9. The host was quick to respond to texts, always answered the phone and its clear he loves to make guests feel welcome, and, like us, want to come again. 10. Perfect stay for a romantic getaway or anniversaries.

Absolutely loved our stay here!

The location was perfect and it was very quiet. Would definitely stay again.

Perfect accommodation, was equipped with everything you would need for your stay.

Fire pit, hot tub and bbq all great. Perfect location with lovely views. Near by restaurants and town. Lovely local pub and restaurant welcoming and friendly. Host was welcoming friendly and very helpful. From start to finish communication and information was impeccable. Enjoyed my stay so much I can’t wait to go back again in the future.

We really enjoyed our stay, the lodge was beautiful and well set out leading onto the lake.

We enjoyed fishing and relaxing we will definitely be returning to stay again.

Absolutely perfect place to stay exactly as advertised and Brendan is the ideal host no matter what you ask for additional fuel, fire lighters and even down to running us back to car with luggage whilst it was raining nothing is too much .

Also the pub in the village has good choice of ales meals and good Sunday roast .Clive&Denise.

The whole experience through booking and payement and instructions on arrival/departure procedures was excellent.

The property was fantastic and extremely clean and well equipped and the setting was delightful and peaceful. On arrival we were met by Brendan who was welcoming,friendly and so efficient. Thanks for a memorable few days. John

Lovely lodge a little on small side but adequate for needs

Wonderful stay at Maple Lodge the place is stunning, relaxing and peaceful.

The lake views are breathtaking especially when your relaxing in the Hot Tub. I think this place takes away the stresses of every day life. Maple Lodge was decorated to a high standard. Brendan the owner makes sure your well cared for as soon as you arrive and until you leave.

Absolutely fantastic stay!

We have had a really tough couple of months and needed to get away from everything... This was perfect and just what we needed to re-charge! A cute hideaway from the rest of the world. The cabin was comfy, clean and modern. The hot tub was huge and easy to use. The setting was amazing. Nothing was too much trouble and you were all so friendly and helpful! Thankyou so very much for such a wonderful stay! We will definitely be coming back again... Hopefully in the winter!

Had an absolutely lovely 4 night break here.

Brendan was extremely helpful and attentive if we had any questions, even met us at the car park in his golf cart on our arrival to drive us and our luggage down to the accommodation. Lodge felt very private- despite multiple lodges on site we rarely saw/heard a soul and being set on the lake had picturesque views. Surrounded by lovely walks around Chacombe, and a short drive to Banbury town although the 30 degree weather prevented as much adventuring as we would've liked. Gorgeous hot tub for evenings when it got a little chilly and the lodge had underfloor-heating which although we didn't utilise I imagine it would be very cosy in winter. Really can't complain about anything. The whole stay was magical and we will surely be returning. Thank you Brendan for everything- Tamzin and Ellis
