It was great to have the fisheries there and it was extra special to enjoy the swimming lake. The surrounding fields made it easy to walk our dog too.

We absolutely loved our stay at the Roundhouse at South Reed Farm! Where else can you go wild swimming, fishing, see kingfishers and stay in such amazing accommodation!? It was absolutely beautiful, the views and the grounds were so lovely! Absolute paradise! The bed was comfortable, the shower was great, the place looked just as it did in the pictures! Even more lovely in real life! Myself, my son and our dog were made to feel so welcome!! And we had the best time! Thank you so much!!

it was perfect, we could not fault it at all. It was well equipped and the bed was so comfortable. We were greeted upon arrival by the very friendly and helpful host who showed us around the property. It is such a stunning location and the peace and quiet there was like no other place we have stayed. The fishing was great fun especially using a light float rod. We will definitely be back again in the future. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a nice peaceful holiday away from the busier touristy areas.
