South Farm Holiday Cottages and Fishery Opiniones 

We had a very quick weekend, joining our family for a 90th birthday celebration. We had a lovely time, most of the family fished, some of us used the pool, very refreshing after all the muggy weather we have had. Beautiful views, very tranquil. Would highly recommend this as a holiday.

This was our 14th year going to South Farm and we love it every year. Nice and tranquil my husband and son when he decides to join us love to fish, myself and daughter love the nearby walks with Winnie and just chilling in the cottage, the views from the cottage are amazing and watching the sunset each evening is just another added bonus. Justin has has done the site proud its well maintained and is always on hand should you need anything. We will be back again next year to enjoy another beautiful break :)

We’ve just got home from a week stay in Stable Cottage at South Farm. WOW!
We’ve really had the best time.
The location is fantastic, nestled in the beautiful Devon countryside, it’s so peaceful and tranquil and really helped us to switch off and leave our very busy lives behind.
The fishing lakes are brilliant, the games room really has something for everyone, there is also a lovely pool with spectacular views.
The cottage had everything we needed, and quickly felt like home.
Justin was a brilliant host, he’s very knowledgable, welcoming and friendly. And really goes out of his way to make sure you have everything you need and does a lot of work to keep the farm looking beautiful.
Thank you so much! We will definitely be back.

We had a wonderful week at South Farm. My husband hadn't been fishing for many years and got lots of help from Justin and the other fishermen.
The cottage was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed for a real home from home week.
We loved exploring the local area, too.
100% recommend if you want a very peaceful, relaxing holiday with plenty on site to do and lovely things to do within 30 mins drive.

This was our second visit to South Farm. Justin and Vanessa are very welcoming and made the family feel like friends rather than returning guests. They went out of their way to ensure we had a memorable stay - nothing was too much trouble. Justin took a keen interest in my younger son’s fishing and seemed genuinely interested in how both sons had developed over the 2 years since our last visit, ( now 17 and 19). His passion for the site and his guests is very evident. The upkeep of the property itself is immaculate, the cottages grounds and lakes are beautifully. The fishing is excellent. There are some lovely walks from the Farm and various days out are within easy reach. We definitely plan to return in the future

Amazing holiday with South Farm, great cottage with wonderful facilities and superb fishing lakes. Justin and Vanessa are amazing hosts and really made our stay. Can't recommend them enough and Can't wait to go back.

The staff are excellent. They are friendly and go beyond the norm. To make the holiday experience special. The venue is immaculate and is always well presented. Fishing is great with something for all ages and abilities. A perfect family venue . A chance to relax and soak in the atmosphere in a gorgeous location in Devon.

Absolutly beautiful place with great fishing lakes carp upto 27 lb . Really helpful staff who go beyond to make your stay trully comfotable.The homes you stay in are well contained with all the things you need for a great stay if this was a 5* rating it would be a 10

This is our 5th visit and had a great time as usual. Justin and the team are doing a brilliant job. The lakes are well kept and my husband said despite the hot weather the fishing was good - plenty of healthy fish. The cottage was clean, tidy and well equipped and the pool was lovely , perfect as we were there during the heatwave! We just love south farm, it’s so peaceful and Justin’s always friendly and helpful. Already booked for October and looking at dates for next year! Cant wait to get back to my happy place!

The accommodation and lakes were fabulous and Justin couldn't do enough to ensure everyone's holiday was going as well as possible.
Well stocked and impeccably maintained lakes and everything you need was available. Great little touches, like fresh milk and biscuits in the accommodation on arrival, well stocked kitchen and bathroom and carts available for guests to use for their fishing gear.
Highly recommend this venue for a fishing holiday.

We are returning customers. Our third visit, each one getting better and better. The extra touches- towels, flowers, biscuits, air fryer, all make it so much like home. The Farm House was spotless, new hot tub a luxury, a warm welcome from Justin and Vanessa.
The fishermen were very successful, although we all struggled with the excessive heat.
Some or possibly all of us will be back next year,
Justin has done a great deal of work on the land and the lakes. The grass was cut everywhere, we had stripes on the lawn, the flowers and pots were well looked after.We really appreciated the effort that has been put in for our comfort and enjoyment. All three generations had a great time,
Look forward to returning there.

All 15 of us enjoyed our week at the Devon Longhouse.
Plenty of room with excellent bedrooms and bathrooms.
The hot tub was superb and we enjoyed several barbecues in the evenings.
The three fishing lakes enjoyed by everyone!
All caught fish even the non anglers in our party.
The landscaping around all lakes is superb and very well maintained.
All enjoyed a walk on Sunday to the Ashill inn. We had prebooked excellent roast!
The swimming pool is a good size some had a quick dip! Not to long as our stay was early Easter.

Our three sons and five grandsons went karting on near by aerodrome. A good time was had by all!

The most relaxing holiday ever! None of us could fault it!
Thanks Justin for all your help and advice much appreciated by all of us.

I’m sure will be booking again soon!

A note on Jason & Kath’s dog “Belle” (cocker poo)
Sadly we lost her a couple of days after we got back home. ( very sad). She had a wonderful week and enjoyed all the fuss and attention!
She was only six but enjoyed every second of it!!

Thanks again Justin for going above and beyond!

Excellent, clean and spacious property. Perfect for a family gathering. Good sized garden for the children to play in. Tranquil surroundings. Lots of prompt communication with property hosts who are very accommodating.

Had a great week away staying in 2 properties at South Farm . The weather was scorching which meant the outdoor pool was a blessing . Justin and the team were ever helpful and we shall be back once again for sure in the future .

You’re always sure of a warm welcome at South Farm. The accomodation is always spotless & Justin & his team go above & beyond to make sure your time there is relaxing & hassle free. Great facilities & outdoor pool. Our ‘home from home’.

If you are looking for a peaceful,comfy,idilic break with fishing thrown in then you will not be disappointed with south farm. Add to that the exemplary host Justin and his assistant Vanessa,for whom nothing is too much trouble, and you cannot go wrong. For part of our stay the weather was somewhat inclement but we still enjoyed the tranquility.

We have been to Southfarm several times and had excellent experiences great fishing excellent accommodation fully equipped lodge with everything you need. Clean and friendly with excellent views and country side for walks as well as fishing on 3 lakes Justin is a wonderful host and can not do enough for you with helping if needed . check out the website you won’t be disappointed. We always go for 10 days lots of local attractions to visit .

Very clean accommodation stable cottage had everything you might need for your holiday. Justin and Vanessa Very helpful nothing was to much bother. Fishing was very good. Cottage now has a hot tub. Keep up the good work Justin see you in September.

Our 4th time staying at Southfarm, but first time staying in the farmhouse. Was a family gathering, covering ages 5 months to 66 years, and the property was perfect. Big enough for all and with great shared space. Big garden was great for the kids, who also made good use of the pool and play barn. The fishing was good and the fish in great condition.
The Team were friendly and add to the experience by helping when it's needed, making sure property was clean and everything in place.
