The Perfect Escape
Absolutely loved staying here. The perfect location for Blenheim Palace, Oxford, whilst all wrapped up in a peaceful and secluded location.
There’s a friendly atmosphere in the village and the hosts are there if you need them.
All in all a really enjoyable break in the perfect location.
This is a lovely place in a great location, perfect for exploring Oxford and villages. The host is very friendly.

A fabulous place
What a find!! We were delighted with Timber Lodge. Lisa was so welcoming and friendly . The house was immaculate and well equipped. The location was ideal for travelling into Oxford, the bus stop is a few steps away and the train a short walk away. Lots to see and do in the area. We would certainly recommend and would love to return in the future.

Very pleasant stay
We had a very enjoyable stay with 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.

Timber Lodge, simply the best.
We have stayed at lots of self catering accommodation and Timber Lodge is one of the best, spotless inside and outside very quiet with buses and railway station with links to Banbury and Oxford ,Blenheim Palace a ten minute drive away is well worth a visit also

Excellent accommodation
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.

Fabulous
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.

Great place to stay
When we arrived we were warmly greeted by the owner, who made us feel very welcome.
The property was in immaculate condition.
Light bright and airy and spotlessly clean.
Everything you could possibly think of was available
Fresh laundered towels, hand wash, dishwasher tabs and tea, coffee etc.
Bed was extremely comfortable .
Shower very powerful
Little seated garden area.
Great location.
What truly made a difference to the enjoyment of our holiday was the host as she made you feel so at home and was available if needed.

A happy stay at Timber Lodge
We chose Timber Lodge as it was close to Oxford and had good bus and train services to the city. Not long after we arrived, Lisa called round to check that we had everything we needed. She is a very friendly and welcoming host and we got the impression that, if we did need help or have questions, nothing would be too much trouble. The Lodge was very clean, well equipped and well kept - and exactly as described. Off-street parking was appreciated, as was the train trip into Oxford - just 10 minutes and we were there! The village shop was impressive with a wide range of quality goods. We hope to stay again, maybe next time in the larger Buff Lodge, and also when it's warmer so we can take advantage of the outside seating areas. All in all, we were happy with every aspect of our stay.

This is definitely a good one
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, although these are every 2 hours and you need to buy your ticket online.
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.

Weekend stay for a birthday and Mother’s Day
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, Buffs 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. I was disappointed to find that Buff’s Lodge was already booked and only Timber Lodge was available, but as it turned out it was just as good or maybe better for a couple as the one-bedroom property is absolutely perfect for a couple, my son asked me to write a great review as it was such a great weekend for them. 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 and I don’t want to recommend them too highly in case they get booked up next time I want to stay there, but in reality I can’t recommend them highly enough! Wonderful place to stay!
Lisa went over and above to help me when I broke my arm and my travel plans went very askew. She is wonderful.The property is spotless ad set up with everything you need. The bus stop on the doorstep makes this the perfect place to stay no matter how you travel.
