While the village of South Cerney was founded by Saxon settlers in 999 AD, parts of the stone farmhouse on the farm date back to 1580, and Berry Farm is known to have existed on the site since at least 1856. The Farm was purchased by Claire’s great grandfather in 1932, for the princely sum of £4,300 – and has remained in the family ever since. Claire remembers harvest time when her grandfather Ray owned the farm – climbing up into the hay bales! Ray loved horses and was often seen round the village with his horse and trap, where Claire loved riding beside him. The farm was left to Claire’s mother, and now Claire is the fourth generation of the family to live and work on the farm – and has uncovered some incredible photographs in the archives…

House Rules
Little horseshoe lake is a private gated estate with only 5 holiday lodges for couples and a larger house for families. We try not to impose too many rules but please be aware that the homes are intended to be private and therefore care needs to be taken when walking around the lake to avoid disturbing other guests.
Please park cars in bays marked for that purpose. Each home has a lay-by on Wildmoorway Lane just by each of the lodges but if you are concerned at leaving your car on the lane then talk to us about parking at Pond Gate where you will have a short walk to your lodge.
Only 2 guests per lodge is permitted except for Pond where there are 4 guests and Little Horseshoe lodge which is designed for families.
Only Pond Lodge is dog friendly.
