“We really enjoyed our stay at Tiggywinkles.”

The quality of the accommodation, how clean it is, the location and lovely personal touches all enhance the stay. All the utensils you need to cook a meal and another nice touch was the bag of ice in the freezer. The lodge is warm and has very good heating if needed and a combi boiler. The shower pressure is excellent and an even temperature. Zoe calls you the night before your stay to answer any questions you may have which is incredibly helpful. Some information/thoughts I have that may help ...

The quality of the accommodation, how clean it is, the location and lovely personal touches all enhance the stay. All the utensils you need to cook a meal and another nice touch was the bag of ice in the freezer. The lodge is warm and has very good heating if needed and a combi boiler. The shower pressure is excellent and an even temperature. Zoe calls you the night before your stay to answer any questions you may have which is incredibly helpful. Some information/thoughts I have that may help others that I have not seen mentioned other reviews: For those using an EV there is a shell garage that has a 50kwh charger that is a few min drive from the site of a 15 min walk if you leave your car on charge there. We prefer faster chargers so would plan those on days out. For example off the M40 there is an Instavolt charger near McDonalds we used that on trips. The Wi-Fi in the property is fine and enables you to stream shows on Netflix etc. Be aware its a Three Mobile router and like all mobile routers and signal can be slower at times. In short this is the best lodge we have used at a fair price given the location to Chipping Norton.

- Christopher, May 2026

Hi Christopher.. Firstly, thank you so much for your 5* review. It is great to hear that you enjoyed the lodge so much. I'm a really keen cook myself, so it sends me mad when you stay at a holiday rental that has one wooden spoon, a fish slice, a tiny frying pan and a couple of rubbish saucepans - I mean what culinary delight can you cook with that - grrr! Another one of my 'pet peevs' is when you get 4 hangers in a wardrobe, thus why we leave about 20 in each. Thanks for all your other really useful feedback about shower pressure, heating and EV chargers that I'm sure other potential future guests will find extremely useful - it's nice to have some practical advice and feedback. I'm always so happy when my guests get some amazing weather too, especially when they have dogs, so I feel sure you found some great walks for your pooch Millie. Thanks for stripping the beds and leaving the lodge so beautifully. The en-suite shower off the Master bedroom was absolutely pristine! So much so that I wonder if you and your partner actually knew it was there?! I really hope so. Anyway, thanks again for a wonderful review. Suffice to say I would welcome you back anytime. Kindest regards, Zoe, John, Peanut and Frazzle x Property Owner
Theresa April 2026

“Had a lovely stay at Tiggywinkles.”

Was pleasantly surprised upon arrival at the cleanliness and how lovely the place was. There was a lovely welcoming card, biscuits and fresh milk in the fridge, such a thoughtful thing. Was sorry couldn't stay longer and would highly recommend, hoping to stay again soon x

- Theresa, April 2026

Hi Theresa. Delighted that you all had such a lovely time and thank you for your kind words. I was so pleased that the girls all had fun getting ready for the wedding and that the weather was literally perfect for the big day. Hopefully your next stay will be longer, as that was a long way to travel from Glasgow just for the two nights. Kindest regards, Zoe x Property Owner
Alyson April 2026

“Beautifully clean and comfortable accommodation.”

Very quiet/peaceful. A good view across the field from the front (main) window. We would consider using again.

- Alyson, April 2026

Hi Alyson. Thanks for your nice comments. We would, of course, love to have you come and stay again - maybe for a little longer next time. Many thanks, Zoe x Property Owner
John March 2026

“What a wonderful lodge.”

The owner was extremely caring, regarding your wellbeing. Gold Star.

- John, March 2026

Hi John, Sorry for my late reply but I was away myself for a couple of days. Thank you so much for my full marks and big gold star, it is very much appreciated. It was lovely to hear that the 'great British weather' didn't put you and your wife off from exploring what the area has to offer - a good excuse to visit a pub or two :)! Once again, a massive thank you for leaving the lodge so beautifully which was so appreciated - I'm glad to report that I am finally over my prawn sandwich food poisoning! Kindest regards, Zoe x Property Owner
Ian December 2025

“Clean, comfortable & well equipped, nice & modern kitchen area & bathrooms.”

We had an issue when we arrived & contacted Zoe(owner). She wasn't happy & spent an hr + trying to sort the issue out. It did get sorted & we were able to relax & enjoy our stay. It was very cold & windy which led to noise from a new unit near to Tiggywinkles. Plastic was flapping continuously, very noisy. Obviously this is beyond Zoe's control !! Lovely area to stay with some lovely dog walks.

- Ian, December 2025

Hi Ian. Thanks for your honest feedback. I am so sorry for the problem you encountered due to the unconnected gas cylinder which caused an issue with the heating and hot water. I was most definitely 'not a happy bunny' about this, especially as I had called the company that very morning to remind them that it needed to be connected before your arrival to ensure the lodge was 'toasty' for you. I want to thank you and your guests for your patience whilst I rectified this and assure you that the company in question got a 'piece of my mind', as I hate it when things aren't perfect for my guests. Apologies too for the noisy 'flapping'. I am however relieved that you did enjoy your stay on the whole and that you found some lovely pup walks for your pooch. Kindest regards, Zoe, John, Peanut and Frazzle x Property Owner
Linda December 2025

“Lovely chalet very well equipped site is spotless and great for a base to the Cotswolds.”

Zoe was really helpful and eager to make everything just right

- Linda, December 2025

We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay with us and we would love to welcome you back anytime. Kind regards Manor Cottages. Property Owner
Dean November 2025

“I don't usually leave reviews, but for Tiggywinkles I'll make the exception.”

We were impressed with the cleanliness and attention to detail put into making the lodge feel like a home away from home and Zoe couldn't have done more to make us feel welcome. This is the perfect base for exploring the Eastern Cotswolds, and we will definitely be coming back again ourselves when the weather is warmer!

- Dean, November 2025

Aw thanks so much Dean - you lovely man :). Your kind words really do make it all worth while, especially seeing as I forgot to leave the milk for your arrival, as I've just found it in one of my 'changeover' bags. Most definitely caused by that unexpected bottle of Prosecco I accidentally drunk the day before your arrival - Never again! Thanks again for leaving the lodge so perfectly for me and I'm glad you approved of our new all singing and dancing heating system - it really is extremely efficient isn't it. We would absolutely love to have you back in the Spring or Summer so you can make use of the BBQ and decking area as well as all the other fantastic places that really come into their own when the sun shines. Many thanks again, Zoe, John, Peanut and Frazzle x Property Owner
Janet November 2025

“Tiggywinkles star find.”

Phone call received prior to our leaving date with all the information we needed. Nothing was too much trouble for the owners On arrival lodge immaculately clean and very welcoming. Treats for us grown ups & our four legged friend……..! Thank you Should we ever be in the area again will certainly be in touch. Janet

- Janet, November 2025

Hi Janet. I'm delighted that you, Peter and Seren puppy all had fun. Thank you again for leaving the place so spick and span and for stripping your bed :), and your thank you card was just lovely. It was an absolute pleasure having you all to stay and you would be welcome back anytime. Just FYI we've got some really fab deals going in Feb, March and April to combat those dreaded post Xmas blues. Kindest regards, Zoe, John, Peanut and Baby Frazzle x Property Owner
Bobbie October 2025

“Tiggywinkles was such a little gem of a find for our stay.”

I received a lovely call the day before with lots of friendly information. The Lodge was easy to find, easy to park and a great location. We felt so welcomed and genuinely felt like a guest not just a booking with lovely welcome card and biscuits. The Lodge was immaculately clean, everything looked brand new and so many homely touches that just made the stay so cosy. They literally have everything you could need. The pictures do not do justice to how lovely this Lodge is, made a special birthday trip perfect. A fantastic welcome guide is also inside with so many ideas for lovely things to do in the area, we just wish we had more time.

- Bobbie, October 2025

Hi Bobbie. What a truly amazing review you've given us - it really does mean the world to me and has started my day with a very warm fuzzy feeling of contentment in a job well done :)! I really DO care about my guests and want their experience to be as fab as possible, as times are tough for most of us, making little breaks away so important. I only wish I could give you a rating, as you too would be 5*s all the way. You left the lodge so clean, I was thinking of offering you a job ! I'm almost certain you cleaned both the shower rooms and I know you hoovered, as I always empty it when I leave, so a huge thank you from me to you. Lots of love Zoe, John, Peanut and Frazzle xxx Property Owner
Deborah October 2025

“Really enjoyed our stay here the site was lovely and clean .”

Friendly staff . Zoe the owner very nice and made us feel very welcome. Lovely stay enjoyed visiting Clarksons pub and farm shop and all the lovely villages closeby . Would definitely recommend Tiggywinkles for a pleasurable experience.

- Deborah, October 2025

Hi Deborah. Thanks for our perfect score and lovely feedback, I'm so glad you had fun exploring - even though I personally think Clarksons pub and farm shop is a bit overrated, but I do understand the appeal of seeing it 'in the flesh' after watching the series. Thanks for being yet another lovely guest and leaving the lodge so clean and tidy. We'd love to have you visit us again soon. Kindest regards, Zoe x Property Owner
Karen September 2025

“We had such a lovely stay in the cotswolds made all the better by our fantastic accommodation.”

We found Tiggywinkles such a perfect place to stay. Our hosts had thought of every detail and were extremely helpful. The lodge is very comfortable and modern with everything you'll need for a relaxing holiday. Would highly recommend it to anyone looking to stay in the cotswold area.

- Karen, September 2025

Thanks so much Karen. It was such a pleasure having you and your guests to stay and we are delighted that you all enjoyed the area and the lodge so much. You left the lodge so beautifully for me too, which I'm always so grateful for, so it goes without saying that we would welcome you back anytime. I have a million and one other recommendations for you that are all dog friendly - yet another one of the many benefits of living in this area. Come and see us again soon. Many thanks, Zoe, John, Peanut and Frazzle x Property Owner
Alan September 2025

“Nothing bad to say .”

The owner was lovely the place was amazing everything you need is there we will definitely stay again

- Alan, September 2025

Hi Alan, sorry for my late response but I've had a couple of problems with my computer. I just wanted to thank you for your lovely feedback and perfect score, it is most appreciated and we would love to have you return in the near future. Kindest regards, Zoe x Property Owner
Karl September 2025

“Beautiful lodge everything you need, the pillows and bedding were really soft and comfortable.”

Lodge immaculate and in a good location to visit all the attractions within 30/40 minutes. Nothing to complain about and the host made contact before and after our stay with all the information required

- Karl, September 2025

Hi Karl. Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. I'm so pleased that you and your guests had a great time exploring the area. Thanks so much for stripping the beds and leaving the lodge so nicely - it really helps allow me to get the changeover done quickly and offer the next guests an earlier check in time, which as you know yourself, really does make a difference especially for short breaks. Come back anytime. All the best, Zoe x Property Owner
Julie August 2025

“Lovely property, great location.”

Truly dog friendly. On a mixed campsite but very quiet, friendly site. Clean and comfortabl

- Julie, August 2025

Hi Julie. So pleased you and your pups enjoyed yourselves - the location really is perfect for exploring The Cotswolds for the first time. I forgot to suggest to you about taking your dogs round Blenheim Palace grounds and gardens which is the most amazing day out, so I'm hoping it was on your agenda. Thank you again for leaving the lodge so clean and tidy - I really have been so lucky with all my guests. Kindest regards x Property Owner
Kirstie August 2025

“Absolutely wonderful place.”

Very well cared for with everything you would need. The host is super friendly and always at the end of the phone if you need her. Couldn’t recommend Tiggywinkles higher!!! Will 100% be returning.

- Kirstie, August 2025

Thanks so much for your wonderful comments and we would obviously love you to return to Tiggywinkles, as you were a 'lovely lot' and very clean and tidy too, which is always an added bonus for me! I'm glad you, Peter and your pampered pooch Bruno got to explore the area a bit - even in the heat. Really hope you come and stay again soon. All the best, Zoe, John, Peanut and Frazzle aka The Kray twins :) xx Property Owner
Michelle July 2025

“Another perfect stay at Tiggywinkles, everything you need and more, in a quiet and peaceful location with decking area looking over a beautiful view, we had absolutely awesome sunsets.”

The lodge is extremely well maintained and beautifully kept. Thankyou to the host Zoe, friendly and full of info about the area. Will definitely be returning

- Michelle, July 2025

Hi Michelle. I'm so glad you, your mum and your sister had another fab stay - hope the extra fans did the trick, as it was stupid hot - but we really shouldn't grumble should we ;)! I've got some great deals over Xmas and the New Year that you should really look at, as The Cotswolds is truly magical over Xmas, as there are so many Xmas markets to buy some pressies and maybe indulge in a glass of mulled wine! It was just lovely to have you back again and I really hope you book with me in the future. As always thanks a million for leaving the lodge so clean and tidy, as it enables me to offer my next guests an early check in, that each guest really appreciates. Much love to you all. Kindest regards Zoe, John, Peanut and Frazzle xxx Property Owner
Richard June 2025

“Over the years I have stayed in several properties for four people, and I think that although this may be the smallest one, it punches way above its weight.”

It was very well kept and most comfortable. I have stayed in larger properties which had no freezer facility, or no oven gloves, not even a tea towel. This property had everything we could possibly need. Every time I opened a cupboard or drawer I found something else which I hadn't expected, but would have been really useful if we had been staying for longer than a weekend. Tiggywinkles would be a perfect base for anyone who wanted to tour the surrounding countryside.

- Richard, June 2025

Hi Richard. Wow, what a fantastic review, you've really made our day! It's so lovely getting such positive feedback and makes all our efforts worthwhile. I must admit a lack of 'things and stuff' needed for a comfortable holiday used to be mine and John's 'grumble' when staying away from home, so we really did TRY to think of everything, from a motion sensitive night light, toothbrush/razor charging points, fans for the heat, hot water bottles for the cold, extra lighting for makeup mirrors, games for rainy days, snuggle blankets and of course a FULLY equipped kitchen. So it really is great when these bits and bobs are noticed and appreciated. I hope you and your wife enjoyed your party and a big thank you for leaving the lodge so clean and tidy - it goes without saying that we would welcome you back anytime :)! Kindest regards and thanks again, Zoe and John x Property Owner
Bryan May 2025

“The Lodge was immaculate absolutely no issues at all, we arrived to find a welcome message, also to find biscuits and milk provided.”

The actual site was Immaculate and very quiet, we were contacted by the owner to say the Lodge was ready for us at 1pm another bonus. At the Lodge there was an information pack of things to do in the area this was very useful. We'll done all.

- Bryan, May 2025

Thank you so much for your lovely review, especially as there was in fact a faulty window blind in the en-suite shower room that I couldn't fix before your stay but which you must have fixed for me - so thanks a million :) I also want to thank you and your wife for leaving the lodge in such an immaculate condition and for stripping the beds, as by doing this it enables me to offer the next guests an early check in time. I'm so pleased the weather was so lovely for you both too. Kindest regards, Zoe x Property Owner
Christine April 2025

“Lovely lodge on a quiet site (although may be busier in peak season).”

The lodge lived up to expectations and had everything you would need, The beds were comfortable as were the sofas. Never used the washing machine but perhaps would have done if we had been there for the week. Would recommend to anyone who wanted to visit the area,

- Christine, April 2025

Hi Christine. Thanks for fab comments and perfect score - it's most appreciated. Come back and use the washing machine anytime ;) LOL! x Property Owner
Vanessa March 2025

“Lovely property in beautiful countryside.”

The only things that could help other people are. There are no shaver or electric toothbrush sockets for charging and steps from caravan could have a white stripe on each step for people with sight problems like me. Property was spotlessly clean and Zoe the owner is always st end of phone. Really enjoyed our stay.

- Vanessa, March 2025

Hi Vanessa, We're so glad you, your guests and your doggie enjoyed the lodge and the local countryside - and you didn't even visit when it's at its best! I must admit it was only when you asked about the shaving points that I realised we didn't have any, so it is something I'll look into. We did actually have florescent strips on the outside steps, however due to the constant footfall they kept 'lifting' (no matter what industrial glue we used) which caused a potential trip hazard, so we had to remove them. Thank you for leaving the lodge 'in order' on your departure, it was most appreciated, and we would welcome you back anytime. Kindest regards, Zoe x Property Owner
Annalie February 2025

“Zoe the owner is lovely and friendly.”

accommodation is beautiful. Would definitely return x

- Annalie, February 2025

Hi Annalie, So sorry for my late reply, I must have missed my 'feedback alert'. I have always been a naturally friendly, bubbly person, even at 6 in the morning when I bounce out of bed - it sends my partner John quite mad, LOL! I've always loved being in the service industry and have the philosophy that 'you reap what you sow' when dealing with guests, so it's lovely to hear your kind words. Take care, Zoe x Property Owner
Julie February 2025

“We loved Tiggywinkles as did our dog Darcy!”

The lodge was home from home, comfortable, well equipped and cosy. Loved the little treats left for us all which was a lovely touch. Great communication from Zoe before and throughout our stay and even though we had to cut pur stay short by a day due to myself and son being unwell, we had a wonderful time and will definitely look to return sometime soon. Great lodge, great location, in fact, everything was great and I can’t recommend it enough!

- Julie, February 2025

Hi Julie. Thanks for your amazing feedback and I really hope you and your son are feeling better - what a pity that you all had to leave early but the world and their wife seems to have some 'lergy' atm. If owners rated their guests, you would definitely get full marks from me too - I can't believe you basically cleaned the lodge from top to bottom before you left, especially as you were so poorly, so a huge thank you from me. We would obviously love to have you all back anytime you fancy - hopefully you will get some nicer weather next time to give Darcy the opportunity to run riot in the Cotswolds :). Kindest regards and we really hope to see you soon x Property Owner
Jacqueline January 2025

“We were very pleased with our stay.”

The place was clean and as depicted when we viewed online. The camping site was immaculate too and nice and peaceful. Would highly recommend staying here and will be looking to stay again!

- Jacqueline, January 2025

I'm so glad you had a nice time and that the lodge was to your liking. I have never been given flowers and chocolates by any of our guests before, so it really did make my day - if not week! My flowers are still going strong but unfortunately the chocolate didn't 'fair so well' and I was too greedy to share any with John - but he's used to that ;). It goes without saying that we would love to have you back anytime. Thanks again. Take care, Zoe xx Property Owner
Vicky December 2024

“We enjoyed a great week in this absolutely lovely lodge.”

Spotlessly clean and had everything you could need. Lots of nice little touches made it feel homely and cosy. Contact with the owners were great and the guest information book was a fab asset with lots of great ideas of places to visit. Nice and quiet site in a great location to explore different areas of the Cotswolds. Brilliant holiday and many thanks :-)

- Vicky, December 2024

Hi Vicky. What a lovely review - thank you so much. Glad you appreciated all the little touches we have made to make it feel homely. We really wanted to 'go to town' on the Christmas decorations but we had to do a risk assessment for our insurance company and you wouldn't believe the ridiculous rules and regulations we had to adhere to - what is the world coming to! I hope Dougie enjoyed himself too - and thank you for sending us a piccie of the little lad in his bed, he's very cute. Thanks a million for stripping the beds and leaving the lodge so clean and tidy. We would love to have you back anytime. Best wishes Zoe, John and our two terrorist pups Peanut and Frazzle aka The Krays :)! x Property Owner
Steve November 2024

“Lovely cosy cottage situated within a great caravan park and very quiet.”

Zoe was very good with communications and nothing was too much trouble. Snow was a bonus!!

- Steve, November 2024

Hi Steve, Thanks a lot for your positive feedback and for leaving the lodge so immaculately - it's such a massive treat for me when I don't have to clean the oven, grill and hob as it saves me an hours worth of cleaning, so many thanks. There is nowhere in the UK that looks as magical as the Cotswolds in the snow, although maybe I am a bit biased ;)! Just FYI there are some amazing discounted deals for shorter stays to be had Jan, Feb and March next year if you feel the need for a quick getaway. Really hope you enjoyed the Cotswolds as much as your usual Devon and Cornwall holiday destinations. Kindest regards, Zoe x Property Owner
Daniel November 2024

“Really Friendly and informative hosts.”

Supportive with any issues we had with the property. The property is a lovely little home away from home and great for walks into Chipping and as a base for so many wonderful Cotswold locations.

- Daniel, November 2024

Hi Daniel, thanks for your positive feedback that's very kind of you, especially as we had a bit of a boiler issue, but I'm glad we managed to rectify this in a timely fashion and it didn't impact your stay. We have owned the lodge now for 9 months and are still finding fantastic villages, pubs and restaurants in the surrounding area that we never knew about. Not a bad job having to do this kind of 'market research' - all for the benefit of our guests of course ;)! Kindest regards, Zoe x Property Owner
Charlotte November 2024

“Tiggywinkles was an absolutely lovely lodge to stay in for a little birthday holiday.”

The owners were lovely and kept in contact with us throughout the stay. The fire was an excellent way to warm up from the cold weather after great days out. We will definitely be booking again for a longer stay in the warmer weather

- Charlotte, November 2024

Hi Charlotte, I'm so pleased that you and your partner had such a lovely stay and your partner had a lovely Birthday. I can't thank you enough for the huge slice of chocolate Birthday cake you left for me and John :) - John doesn't like cake so it was all mine - I must admit I almost made myself sick from being such a greedy guts, LOL. I hope Chunk, your gorgeous pup, enjoyed his first holiday too and got to explore some of the wonderful Cotswolds countryside. A huge thank you, once again, for leaving the lodge in such a pristine condition, it really was appreciated, and we would love to have you back anytime. Kindest regards, Zoe, John, Peanut and Frazzle x Property Owner
Sarah October 2024

“Lodge was beautiful and had everything we needed.”

I couldn’t fault it. Only slight downside was the maintenance works going on at the lodge opposite, lots of vehicles moving around and machinery being used from early in the morning.

- Sarah, October 2024

Hi Sarah, thanks so much for leaving a really great review. I am so sorry about the works being carried out on the lodge opposite. I actually had a bit of a word with the site manager, as no one informed me that any maintenance works were due to be carried out, so I was more than unimpressed :( - my sincerest of apologies. I'm glad you had a lovely time nonetheless. Kindest regards Zoe x Property Owner
Kirsty September 2024

“What a beautiful place.”

The site is well maintained, the lodge is spotless and we loved all the finer details. Hot water bottles on every bed the throws, the pictures around makes the place a home from home. The lodge was very warm and comforting and couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. The information guide had everything you needed to know and more, helped us choose our days out. Thank you for such a lovely stay.

- Kirsty, September 2024

What a lovely lady you are for giving us 100/100 and saying such wonderful things about the place, especially seeing as you had no hot water for a few hours one morning, for which I am eternally sorry. Unfortunately, the central heating and the hot water run off the same cylinders and because the heating was on during the night it ran one of the cylinders out, but I was so pleased we got this rectified relatively quickly. To avoid this happening again we now have a 'Guests guide to heating and hot water' so that anyone can resolve the situation and avoid having a 'bad hair day' LOL! Thanks again for being so understanding and giving us our 5 stars. Kindest regards Zoe x Property Owner
Tanya September 2024

“Fabulous comfy accommodation, some really nice touches by the owners to really make you feel at home.”

Great location for visiting the Cotswolds. 3 great nights sleep in Tiggywinkles could of just stayed in All day & relaxed but too many local places to explore. We are looking forward to returning & staying longer. Great communication from Zoe & the folder with details of where to visit to make the most of your stay is the best we have ever seen.

- Tanya, September 2024

Hi Tanya, thank you for your lovely feedback. My partner John will be chuffed to hear that you appreciated all his work in putting together the Guest Information Pack, as it took him forever to do! We would love to have you back for a longer stay anytime and just FYI we have some great deals over the winter months and there are SO many fabby things to see and places to go even in winter, with the surrounding countryside looking truly magical when we get frosts - which seems to be a regular occurrence (beats the rain any day)! Thank you also for private texting me about the plates being too big for the dishwasher. It's a real pity as the Denby ones I bought were really expensive and great quality but are obviously not practical, so I will be buying new ones asap. Kindest regards, Zoe x Property Owner
Chris September 2024

“Great holiday lodge, Zoe rang us to say we could arrive earlier than 3 if we wanted, and to ring her if we needed anything.”

Property was clean and well furnished, milk, biscuits and dog treats waiting for us!! If we came back to this area would definitely stay at Tiggywinkles again

- Chris, September 2024

Hi Chris, I'm glad to hear you all had a fabby time. I really do try to offer early check-ins whenever possible, as these late check-ins were always a 'pet peeve' of myself and John when we booked breaks away. However now owning a holiday home I do understand why most places have afternoon check-ins, as there is so much to do, especially when guests are leaving and new ones are arriving on the same day! Once again, a huge thank you for leaving the lodge so beautifully and only using one of the shower rooms and only one bedroom too - what a treat for me! We would welcome you back anytime. Kindest regards, Zoe x Property Owner
Benjamin August 2024

“Exactly at described.”

Nice area. Cabin felt very modern. Biscuits and dog treats on arrival. Nice note from the occupier to recommend places to go in local area. Credits to owner!

- Benjamin, August 2024
Paul August 2024

“Lovely stay, very comfortable.”

Recommended.

- Paul, August 2024

Thanks a lot Paul. I'm so glad you all had a nice time and got at least one dry day! Many thanks Zoe x Property Owner
Larissa-yasmin August 2024

“Wonderful stay at Tiggywinkles - clean and comfy and a great base for us.”

Wish we had longer for our trip. Would love to be back

- Larissa-yasmin, August 2024

Many thanks Larissa-Yasmin, so glad you enjoyed your stay. A massive thank you once again for the almost immaculate condition you left the lodge in :)! I usually hate weekend changeovers as they eat into a large chunk of mine and John's weekend time together, but it literally took me only 1.5 hours to clean instead of the usual 3.5, allowing us a couple of hours and a couple of cheeky glasses of prosecco in our local pub garden - happy days! Really hope you come back to stay for longer next time as there is so much to see and do in the surrounding area. I've got some great prices on offer late autumn and winter which would be worth considering. All the best and thanks again x Property Owner
Carl July 2024

“We loved our short break at Tiddywinkles.”

Both the site and accommodation were of very high standards.Everything you would need was supplied the information pack for the area was very helpful. Our host was very welcoming and even called to let us in early. Would highly recommend and would return without hesitation

- Carl, July 2024

Hi Carl. I am so glad you both had a lovely stay. I always endeavour to get the lodge cleaned as quickly as possible to allow me to offer guests such as yourselves an early check-in, especially when they are only staying for a couple of nights, as I know myself how precious every minute of holiday time is. It really helps that ALL of my guests so far have left the lodge so 'ship shape' on their departure - something I wasn't really expecting but have been so pleasantly surprised at. I am pleased to say that you and your guest most definitely fell into this category too, so a big thank you from me, and I would love to have you back any time. Many thanks Zoe x Property Owner
Carly July 2024

“We absolutely loved Tiggywinkles!”

The site is fabulous, beautiful views and very peaceful. The lodge is immaculate and has been furnished to a very high standard. The beds are the most comfortable beds we have ever stayed in whilst staying in holidays homes! Everything was just perfect for a break away. Welcome treats were generous and even our dog was catered for. The local area is great. We enjoyed trips to Burford and Stow On The Wold which were around 25 / 30 minutes away by car and Chipping Norton which is less than ten minutes by car. We will definitely stay here again.

- Carly, July 2024

Thanks a million Carly. I'm so glad you all loved it so much. We've only had it since February and we spent so much time, effort and energy making sure it had everything a guest could need for a really nice stay, so your comments really make it all seem worthwhile. We did invest in really good beds and mattresses which ARE on the firm side, but we think they are seriously comfortable too. If you do come back, you must visit Woodstock and Blenheim Palace as they are amazing, along with all the other places recommended in our Guest Information Pack (which took my partner John hours and hours to do)! Got some fab rates for the off season too which you should consider, as the Cotswolds is a fab place to visit whatever the weather. Many thanks again x Property Owner

“A lovely quiet place, with a beautiful view.”

The interior and decor is to a very high standard with everything you need and more. It’s in walking distance to chipping Norton and 10 - 20 min drive to lots of picturesque villages. Will definitely book again

- Michelle, July 2024

Hi Michelle. Sorry for the late response but we were away in sunny Cornwall for a few days. I'm so glad that your Mum and sister had such a lovely time and apologies for not recognising your voice when we spoke! Glad they had everything they needed. Hopefully they can stay a bit longer next time as there are so many places that they would never have had time to see. All the best and I'll see you soon no doubt :) x Property Owner
Vivienne June 2024

“The owners kept in touch with us and we found the lodge to be extremely clean and very comfortable.”

Everything needed was provided including a very detailed information pack which was most helpful. The balcony faces an open field and as the site is quiet it was lovely sitting outside in the afternoon and evening. We visited Stow Kingham Burford and the Hook Norton brewery which are all only a short drive away. This is an ideal place to visit this area and a lovely lodge to stay in.,Thank you so much

- Vivienne, June 2024

Hi Vivienne. We are so pleased to hear that you and your guest had such a lovely stay and we would love to have you back anytime. I can't thank you enough for stripping the beds and leaving the lodge so clean and tidy, I'm pretty sure you cleaned the showers too! It was such a lovely surprise when I turned up to do my 'changeover', and your efforts allowed me to watch a bit of Wimbledon instead! I'm glad you got to explore the area a bit and if you ever fancied a winter break you really should come and visit when Blenheim Palace do their Christmas Lights - it is honestly the most magical experience you could ever imagine, and we are offering some fantastic rates too ;) Thanks again Zoe and John Property Owner
Allen June 2024

“The mobile home is only a few months old and in very good condition as were the furnishings which are of a high standard.”

It was fully equipped including all necessary cooking and eating implements. The mobile is sited on a caravan site but at the far end from the entrance on an area where only mobile homes and lodges are allowed. There is a good sized patio area with furniture and a gas bbq. The site was nice and quiet mainly with caravans many of which appeared to be on the site fairly permanently. We were made very welcome by the owners who provided good instructions for our arrival and who were easy to contact with any queries during our stay. Allen & Christine Harvey

- Allen, June 2024

Hi Allen and Christine. Apologies for my late reply but I was away for a holiday myself, so have only just seen your lovely feedback. Thank you so much for your kind words and I'm so happy that you both enjoyed your stay with us. I'm a bit of a foodie and have always hated it when we have gone away only to find a couple of frying pans, a wooden spoon and a fish slice as the only kind of kitchen implement, so we really have tried to provide a myriad of utensils, mixing bowls, baking and serving dishes etc enabling our guests to cook whatever their hearts desire. I'm glad you approved of the 'site' itself as we think it really is a 'cut above' the norm, which can look a bit tired and tacky. Thank you also for leaving the lodge so clean and tidy . . . come back anytime ;) x Property Owner

“Perfect location for exploring the Cotswolds, the place was so comfortable and ...”

Perfect location for exploring the Cotswolds, the place was so comfortable and lovely and such friendly hosts making sure we had everything we needed ( including treats left out for the dog )

- Dale, June 2024

Hi Dale - thanks a lot :), we're so glad you enjoyed yourself and found Tiggywinkles to be so comfortable. We are real dog lovers ourselves, so always like to leave something for any fur babies that come to stay - after all, it's their holiday too! Would love to have you back anytime. Many thanks Zoe, John, Peanut and Frazzle (our fur babies) Property Owner
Victoria May 2024

“We had a lovely stay at Tiggyinkles.”

The owners communicated very well with us and upon arrival had left biscuits, tea, coffee and milk which was very welcome and a lovely gesture. The lodge was immaculate and very comfortable with everything in good working order. The location was great for exploring the beautiful Cotswold area and we hope to return again soon. We would definitely recommend.

- Victoria, May 2024

Hi Victoria. We are so happy to hear that you and your guests liked the lodge and had fun - what a pity you only stayed a couple of nights though as I really feel that you need a good four days to have a proper look around the area . . . maybe next time ;) ! Do bear us in mind around Christmas time, as there are some great deals to be had and the Cotswolds is truly magical around the 'silly season' and, let's face it, the weather will probably be better!!! Many thanks again Zoe and John Property Owner
Karen May 2024

“Fantastic location to explore the Cotswolds.”

The site itself is quiet and well looked after and very dog friendly. The accommodation was very clean and tidy. We all found the beds very comfortable (and I have a bad back) and it was obvious the beds are new also loved the showers very modern and easy to control. Everything was thought about well as there was even an umbrella handy. Thank you Zoe.

- Karen, May 2024

Hi Karen. Thanks for all your lovely comments. I hope the weather allowed you and your husband to explore the area with your doggies, as there really are some beautiful walks in the surrounding countryside. I'm glad you found the lodge to your liking, especially the beds, as a previous guest had found them uncomfortable so that was really good to hear. Thank you for leaving Tiggywinkles 'ship shape' for me, it was really appreciated and a huge thank you to your lovely plumber hubby who tightened my swivelling kitchen tap - I it was sending me mad! Your handwritten note was lovely, and you'll be pleased to hear that I have taken your suggestion on board and the lodge now possesses some bakeware dishes for lasagna and shepherds pies etc. Being an avid cook myself I can't believe I missed that one! Many thanks Zoe and John Property Owner
Mary May 2024

“This was a terrific find.”

Super secure site & an overnight noise curfew. The lodge was so deceptive. Really modern & clean. Great location too. It’s on my list of places to revisit.

- Mary, May 2024

Hi Mary, I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay - it's so peaceful isn't it. We refer to the lodge as 'the Tardis', as it really is deceptively spacious. I hope you and your guest took the opportunity to explore the area as there are so many fab places to visit and if you didn't see Woodstock and Blenheim and The Chequers pub/restaurant in neighbouring Churchill I seriously advise going on your return trip, as they are amazing - but you really are spoilt for choice. Thank you for texting me your early departure time and leaving the lodge so clean and tidy, as it allowed me to offer the next guests an early check-in, which I like to do whenever possible. We hope to see you again in the near future, Zoe and John Property Owner
Pearl-ann April 2024

“Immaculate property.”

Everything you need for a great vacation. Couldn’t fault it. Very nice quiet site. Comfort personified.Watched the hares each morning in the field. Truly enjoyable stay. Look forward to visiting again. Thank you Zoe for use of your Lodge, you should be proud.

- Pearl-ann, April 2024

Hi Pearl-Ann. So glad you and your guest had such a nice stay - we love watching the bunnies frolicking in the fields too, as do our dogs Peanut and Frazzle, although they do so rather more noisily! Our neighbours said you were both utterly delightful, which was proven more so after I arrived to do my changeover clean and basically had nothing to do, as you had obviously cleaned the lodge from top to bottom - what a lovely lady you are. We would happily welcome you for a return visit anytime. Kindest regards Zoe and John Property Owner
John Michael April 2024

“Very comfortable accommodation, well equipped and immaculate.”

Good communication with owners. Thanks for a great stay, we will return.

- John Michael, April 2024

Many thanks for your feedback and thank you for your handwritten note. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and we would love to have you all back again anytime. Please thank Sarah again for stripping the beds and hoovering :)! Hope to see you again soon. All the best Zoe and John Property Owner
Gregory April 2024

“This mobile home is well-situated, well-presented and spotlessly clean.”

We found the furnishing/beds very comfortable. In summary - two adults and two dogs enjoyed our stay. The location is private at the edge of a caravan Park which was only partly occupied for our stay (April). There is a small Waitrose within walking distance - but you need to cross a busy road. Nearby Chipping Norton and eg Churchill are great for a visit and pub meal.

- Gregory, April 2024

Thanks a lot for your feedback and we're glad you enjoyed your stay and that you found the lodge to be immaculately clean - I always knew my slight OCD tendencies would come in handy at some point! Hopefully the terrible weather didn't dampen your experience and it was lovely to receive your note about how much you enjoyed our favorite restaurant (The Chequers in Churchill). As with all our previous guests, a big thank you for leaving the lodge so clean and tidy it really is always appreciated. Kindest regards Zoe and John Property Owner
Samantha March 2024

“We had a two night stay over Easter weekend, we got to arrive early with the heating already on for us thanks to Zoe who called us early.”

We arrived to a lovely hand written card and biscuits, which made us feel very comfortable. The entire lodge was immaculate and very well decorated. The motion light in the hallway was a lovely touch for checking my child in the night. Water pressure in the shower was good and the Wi-Fi helped us wind down in front of the tv with the fire on in the evening. We also visited the local crocodile zoo and wildlife park which we very much enjoyed.

- Samantha, March 2024

Many thanks Samantha for your fab feedback. We are yet to visit the wildlife park but hear it's a really good day out so it's definitely on our 'to do' list. So glad you managed to get out and about as the weather was pretty shocking. Thank you for stripping your beds and taking your rubbish to the communal bins when you left, it was most appreciated. All the best John and Zoe Property Owner
Adam March 2024

“Had a call from the owner a few hours before check in to advise it had al been cleaned and was ready for check in at anytime.”

She even offered to put the heating on for us just before we arrived too. Once we arrived the place was just as described. A very modern and comfortable lodge with everything you would need. We were greeted by a welcome card which was hand written and a box of chocolate fingers too. There was even some dog treats , mat, bowl and towel all ready to use as well. Everything was great and we enjoyed a very relaxing stay. Would highly recommend

- Adam, March 2024

Thanks a lot Adam, we are so pleased you, your guest and your doggie had a lovely time, even if the weather was horrendous - typical English springtime! I always like to offer an early check-in if I manage to get the place cleaned early on in the day, as my partner and I know that every second counts when taking a short break away. Hopefully you will consider returning when the weather is better, so you can take advantage of the outside decking and BBQ - as it really is wonderful when the sun shines. Thanks again for your kind words, Zoe and John Property Owner
Kevin March 2024

“Beautiful lodge we enjoyed are stay here.”

It was exceptionally clean, along with having everything you needed. The welcome treats were very much appreciated a lovely touch. Would definitely recommend if we ever visit the area again we would have no hesitation to stay once more. Great communication with the owners once again thank you.

- Kevin, March 2024

Hi Kevin, thank you so much for your kind feedback and we are so glad that you and your furry friends enjoyed your stay. Once again, many thanks for leaving it so clean (you really didn't need to hoover but it was most appreciated), and we would love to have you back anytime :) Best wishes Zoe and John Property Owner
Dean February 2024

“Spotlessly clean and everything we needed.”

Would definitely recommend Tiggywinkles.

- Dean, February 2024

Hi Dean, Thank you for your lovely feedback, especially as you were are very first guests! You guys left the place immaculately, so a huge thankyou from me, as my 'changeover' was a doddle! I really hope you come and stay again should you find yourself working in the area. Many thanks Zoe x Property Owner
