Both our Barges offer a truly unique stay, and have featured in ‘The Times’, as well as on ITV & the BBC! They’re both moored, so think of them as floating holiday cottages with amazing views!

Oh yeah! 100 wins in a row!
You'll have to see yesterday's post for this to make sense!
Today will be a day of celebration, with bunting, lemonade and cake! Children shall sing and dance around the maypole. Jesters will rejoice, and even the villagers in the stocks will smile as they are pelted with rotten vegetalia.
Or something like that
#Wordle #nailedit
Wot no ticker tape parade?🥳
That 98% must rattle you though 🤣
What's the prize?? 🤣🏆x

Congratulations, here's to the next 100. X
Attention Woodfarm Wordlers...
As you can see I have been playing Wordle for 179 days, with a win rate of 98%. Today marks my 99th win in a row. I can't tell you how nervous I am about tomorrow! Will I get to 100 wins in a row!?!?!?!
Tune in tomorrow to find out!
Btw, the last one to beat me was KHAKI 🤬
I’m working my way back up😢🤣🤣
My start to the day. Have you tried the Nerdle, Quordle, Quardle and the Octordle? Some would say I have too much time on my hands. 😁
Hope you haven’t jinxed it!!
Khaki was a killer. I haven't lost yet but have got to 6 tries a few times and it's nerve-wracking
I've just checked and I've got 298 correct Wordles in a row..... The next two days will be interesting Wordle 526 3/6
04:57????😳
Good luck for tomorrow 🤞

Ok, I’m gonna go off on one again about adverts.
Here in the Wonderful World of Woodfarm we always try to ensure that we get the right blend of accuracy and realism when seeking to entice guests.
We have to do our best to lure people to try us out, but we want to be factual about what we have. I guess this does make me a critic when listening to adverts, because it starts to wander into the realms of what I do for a living, even though I despise adverts.
Picture the scene. It’s early o’clock, it’s dark, I'm awake, and I need caffeine. I’m in my kitchen preparing my morning fix in my beloved Bialetti and I say “Alexa, play Times Radio”.
The first thing that I hear is an advert for Bicester Village.
I will say right now that I have been to Bicester Village many times. I like it. My friend Sarah doesn’t live far away and she first took me many years ago. I like going to Molton Brown, The White Company, Ralph Lauren and many others. It’s good. It’s not an unpleasant shopping experience there. It’s a good people watch too, seeing coach loads of tourists carrying 25 Gucci, Prada and Jimmy Choo bags in each hand, and three in their mouth!
I often pause for a coffee or a bite to eat there. There are some adequate places to do this. But the advert this morning told me that whilst there I could, and I quote…
“Delight in World Class restaurants”
I honestly couldn’t stop laughing. I mean proper giggling to myself as I ground my coffee beans and prepared my morning roast. I giggled throughout the brewing process and back up the stairs with my coffee with thoughts of sharing the experience with you.
You see, all I could picture was the last time I was there, enjoying a panini in Pret A Manger. I don’t recall being “delighted” by it. It was ok. It was a roasted pepper thing and to be honest, if I remember correctly it was a little soggy, but it had the right amount of carbs and crunchy bread to satisfy me and spur me onwards to Bang & Olufsen to listen to their insane sounding (and priced) Hifi systems.
I do not remember thinking that whilst Pret A Manger has a French name, it was anywhere near haute cuisine, let alone anywhere near approaching “World Class”.
I have tried a number of the eateries at Bicester, including ‘The Farmshop’. Again, it’s perfectly pleasant, but if you’ve never been there, I’m pretty sure the name will tell you all you need to know, as well as giving you a clue as to whether or not it features in the New York Times restaurant lists. Their own website very accurately describes themselves thus; "The menu focuses on rustic British food, from old-fashioned classics to hearty farmhouse fare". That's bang on. That's what it is. But with all due respect to them, I wouldn't pin them as "World Class". That's a big claim!
Simply Noodles is another one I’ve had. That wasn’t actually very good. Sloppy wet noodles would be a better name in my opinion. Just my opinion remember.
There’s a pasta place, which again is ok, but to be honest I’ve had quite a bit of pasta in a place called Italy. I’d say I’ve had better pasta in Italy than in Oxfordshire.
Just to fact check myself I Googled 'Best restaurants in the world'. There's a list of apparently the best 50. Bicester doesn't even get a mention. Nor does any Pret 🤷. England actually only features twice in the list, once at 35 and again at 49. Both in London and neither of them were farmshops.
So. Are you still reading? Do you know anyone who works for the Bicester Village management team, or their doubtlessly overpaid ad agency? If so, please pass on my thoughts. It’s only my opinion, but I wonder whether they winced at the line “Delight in World Class restaurants” when they came up with it?
Disclaimer: Please don’t don’t sue me if you are Bicester Management or the agency, I’m just questioning whether the phrase is accurate. Loving your work x
I truly thought it was a village near where new friends lived and asked them to book me in a B&B when coming to stay…
Good job we didn't hear that ad, we spend half our time on the way there disputing how to pronounce the name of said "village" 🤣
Well that's made me smile this morning 🤣 I salute you sir 😊
When did you last go, there are some nice restaurants there now ?
Never been as can't afford it🥲 x
What a pretensious article. As are a lot.
Well you should read what our people say about Boston (Lincolnshire Uk). Just don’t visit based on what they say.
Have to agree, the food offer is high street standard and if Carluccios is no longer there it has lost the best option.
Always felt there is literally nowhere to eat at Bicester, so for you to name as many places as you have I've obviously missed all these world class establishments 😂😂
Haha loving the comments on our Youtube video for our FREE BREAK COMPETITION!
Here's a few of them. Love the fact that the last one doesn't have a dog but is off to The Dogs Trust 🤣

WOW! Check out our latest Five Star Tripadvisor review from Erica....
This is literally one of the best reviews I have read, and this line sums up absolutely everything I have EVER set out to do since starting to set up Woodfarm some 14 years ago.....
"There's something lovely about Woodfarm Barns. It's as though someone has popped into my head and extracted my thoughts on what a perfectly peaceful and luxurious stay might look like and they've packaged it all up!"
Thank you so much Erica ☺️ x
Fabulous x
I agree!
Brilliant Carl well done 👍💕💕
But why would you want a dinosaur?
Too much coffee again Carl. X
That's great, awesome, excellent, superb x
Words fail me🤦🏼♀️
Did you steal it or are you just taking his word for it?
And gobsmacked 🤣 x
Seriously? genuinely? Honestly? Definitely? Absolutely!!
I’m lost for words. I also don’t have a thesaurus……
Sounds like your flabber was truly gasted
Black Friday…
I greatly dislike the hype around this ridiculous marketing bandwagon, and have just read that ‘Which?’ have found that 99.5% of Black Friday 'deals' last year were cheaper or the same price at other times of the year! 99.5%!
‘Which?’ have published their findings, and some of the “worst deals” were from;
John Lewis
Richer Sounds
Currys
Amazon
AO
Over the years I’ve spent thousands of pounds with every one of these ‘trusted’ brands, which I find irksome to say the least. In the interest of balance, I’ve never done it in a Black Friday deal, I just buy the things I need for the Barns and Barges when I need them.
Let me tell you what gimmick the Wonderful World of Woodfarm is going to employ to jump on the gravy train of Black Friday…
Nothing.
What we WILL DO is to carry on doing what we do every other day of the year.
We will continue to provide comfy and cosy holiday accommodation to the very best of our ability. We will continue to offer the best service we can to ensure that our guests have the ultimate experience we can give them. We will continue to go the extra mile to provide all the little touches that we are known for, that have given us well in excess of 800 Five Star Reviews on Tripadvisor, Google and Facebook, as well as Visit England Gold Awards for ALL TEN of our properties, and their coveted ROSE Award in 2022.
Yup, that’s what we’re gonna do.
As far as ‘deals’ are concerned, we’ve already told you that months ago we lowered our prices to make things easier for our guests in a tighter economic climate, even though our costs have gone through the roof. We didn’t shout about it though, we just did it. We did tell you some time afterwards, when we thought it appropriate. Without any flashes and whizz-bangs.
So. For Black Friday, we will continue to do what we do every other day, and hope that works for you.
I hate the hype around Black Friday, while we totally miss out the nice part, which is Thanksgiving!
Never look at black Friday deals xx
Well said and well done Carl. Xx who needs Black Friday. There are too many black days already. X
Black Friday is awful. Is just makes people spend money they cant afford on stuff they dont need 🤔
Exactly, just another marketing scam, like Halloween, it never used to be so commercial! And people fall for it!
Quite right!
Brilliant, keep up the great work 💥 🔥
