Had an issue with my downstairs electrical sockets, called Jonathan who talked me through how to fix. Superb service, really helpful and will be using his services again for further work. Thanks for your help :-)
Rating: 5 / 5
This service has been run by Jonathan for 37 years now! He is courteous, helpful, and proficient. And If you call him he will endeavour to talk through with you any issues you may have, which could well save you money!! I wouldn't have any hesitation in recommending Southern Electrics!!

He was very helpful and kind, something you need when you are under a lot of stress. I would def.recommend him.

I had an electrical outage. My Internet, fridge, and all appliances were out. I called for the emergency call out service and the electrician offered to help me. I sent him a photo of my mains and he was able to walk me through the issue over the phone. Great service, would definitely recommend.
Rating: 5 / 5
Needed an emergency call out. Got home on Sunday evening to realise I had no power on my sockets in my house, did all the usual checks on the RCD, I couldn't figure out what was causing it, but our house had been rewired only 4 years ago (not by southern electrical services) but didn't think there would be a problem. Gave Jonathan a call. He was very good at problem solving over the phone to see if we could shortlist it to a number of issues, in the end we determined we needed him to come over and look. He was very pragmatic took care around the home, explained the reasons behind the outage, which was traced back to a fault in the wiring in the wall which we would never have found ourselves in a million years. He managed to isolate it and get us back on so we can run the household without the need for the one plug that was causing us the issue... Relief! I'd highly recommend Jonathan, did a great job. Very pleased.

My family have stayed in The Farmhouse at Round Chimneys Farm several times now, it is amazing I can't recommend it highly enough, Rachel and her family are the best hosts, allowing my grandchildren to feed the lambs, collect the chicken eggs and have tractor rides! The Farmhouse is fully equipped with everything you could possibly need, the house is spotless with beautiful white sheets and plenty of thick white towels, I have recommended many friends who have also been more than once.
Rating: 5 / 5
We booked a weekend here for 8 friends, who were planning on meeting, we all lived around the UK and one of us actually flew over from Sweden to visit, and I can happily say we were all blown away with how beautiful the place was. We stayed in the Round Chimney’s Farm House, with 5 bedrooms and 12 beds, This place was PERFECT for us. Little did we realise how fantastic our stay really would be. The online photo’s just don’t do it enough justice. Our arrival was early because we were so excited for our weekend to begin, in which Rachel welcomed us and showed us the on site Café & Shop whilst we waited, we enjoyed a pot of tea and appreciated the beautiful shop, selling cakes, lunch, and meat and cheese from the farm, as well as the stunning paintings and art for sale on the walls. We were then given access to the house which we must of ran around several times just to take in it’s beauty. Everything was clean, well-made with bedding, towels and throws if needed, the lighting and space was perfect and the gift of a late of flapjacks per person went down a treat. There was everything you needed and more, all dining needs plates, cups, mugs, cutlery you need not worry. We all had the chance to pet and was also offered an onsite tour of the farm with the animals, on the way in you can visit the Donkey’s and a friendly Goat, moving onto the cows who certainly know how to sound a friendly hello, moving onto the baby goats. We were lucky to find one of the cow had given birth whilst we visited, on site there are 3 dogs who roam the farm who we all instantly fell in love with and even invited them inside to grab plenty of cuddles and belly rubs! As our guests slowly arrived from travelling they each had the same reactions running from each floor oohing an aahing at the house. The games room was defintatley a big reason for choosing our booking, entertaining us all weekend with matches of pool and using the living room for movies in the evening. We made use of the outdoor fire pit in the evening and roasted marshmallows and made shmores. We were invited on the Saturday to a Pub Night the Farm was hosting to celebrate their 1 year anniversary of the Café & Shop with drinks and a local pizza van catering which is the only disappointment we had as we we’re told order would be ready at a certain time, and once ordering yes I know ALOT, but 8 pizza’s we were told he could only make 1, so we luckily found a takeaway open to deliver, which being away from town was hard to track any late food places, but was to NO fault of the farm itself. The owner was so friendly and welcoming, and honestly has such a warm presence and made us all feel at home, not one of us wanted to leave, and spent many hours continuously visiting the cows and goats, we did however on the Saturday spent the day together at Longleat Zoo and had a fantastic time, however the cows and goats were first on the agenda when returning to the farm that evening. Thank you very much for an amazing stay! The price was perfect for us, the stay and the beds.. oh gosh we all agreed it was the best nights sleep we’ve had with the most comfortable beds and bedding and the showers were heaven! I think we must of all showered a thousand times over! 5 STARS recommend anyone to visit and stay here, suitable for families and children too, though we were an ALL adult group, the games room had plenty of toys and books for children, TV’s all had Freeview and there was an Xbox 360 too with some games to play and able to play DVDs which we brought, also access to a travel cot, gates on the stairs and an ironing board, iron and hair dryer was available if needed.

Enjoyed a relaxed family stay cation is both the houses, it was A-MAZE-ING❤️All I can describe it was like being in a film. As a massive animal lover myself, I got to meet and greet all of the animals, they were beautiful and also a big thank you to the farmers/owners who were lovely and walked us around the farm. The cottage is clean tidy and always a joy to be in. Most definitely cannot wait to be back for next Christmas!!

Spent a long weekend here with my family celebrating a 50th birthday. Round Chimneys is a very well equipped, listed old period farmhouse situated on a working farm. Large bedrooms with really comfortable beds. warm central heating throughout with the added bonus of wood burners. The large kitchen is very well equipped with everything you could need. There are ample bathrooms situated over 3 levels with stairgates. There is a small games room with pool table and plenty of books, toys, games etc., free WiFi and the property is dog friendly. This house is hundreds of years old and furnished sympathetically. Don't expect the furnishings to be pristine, you could describe them as 'careworn' but I think it is in keeping with the style of this old building. There is plenty of parking close to the house which is set in stunning countryside. Owners are always on hand and are very friendly and welcoming. The small farmshop/cafe on site is worth a look. The lovely town of Sherborne is only a 15 minute drive away. I would definitely stay here again.

We went today for the shared Christmas platter lunch and it was brilliant. We were 6 adults and had 3 toddlers and 3 dogs with us(!), and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful and accommodating. We were in the sitting room, which was really well laid out and festive. The food was great too. Thanks Amelie (hope I’ve got that right) and staff x

My wife, 4-year-old daughter and I stayed one night on a Friday before a bank holiday. The place is beautiful and nicely secluded in a tiny village. Very picturesque. The staff can't do enough for you and manage to somehow cultivate an laid-back yet luxurious feel to the place. The inn is a popular pub and restaurant too, so there is definitely some background noise in the evening but this is to be expected. Everything died down quickly after last orders at 11pm. The rooms were nicely appointed and clean throughout. The food at the restaurant was exceptional - especially the seafood options and the breakfast (my eggs were cooked exactly as I asked for them - a rare treat and worth big points in my book!). Overall we had a lovely stay and would definitely return, or perhaps book one of their sister venues to fill up our stamp card.

This place is such a hidden gem! Beautiful rooms, great bar and the breakfast choices are akin to the best Central London cafes. They have nailed it on every level. Only one reason I could not give five stars and it is out of their control.....the roosters next door! by 5.30am wake up call was a bit of a shocker and it would not relent. Do stay here, it's worth it....but take ear plugs!

Had such a lovely stay, and meal. Warm welcome, a clean and cosy room (silent all night - I slept like a log). Dinner was gorgeous - can't recommend the food enough. Breakfast also delicious. Staff were all so friendly throughout - after a long drive and a stressful day it was just what I needed. Will definitely stay again.

Visited my close friends on NYE at Castle Cary. They introduced me to their lovely local pub and I heard a lot of good things about this place. Wow, as soon as we stepped in I felt the warm welcome from the bar. A very good choice of drink and draught beers and ales. The menu choices were great and very tasty. I opted for the Special of the day and shared the starters, but we skipped the dessert as the portions were huge. Very clean and very friendly. Highly recommend when you're in this area.

I stayed at their small campsite behind the pub in my motorhome. A very peaceful location with good amenities. The food was great too, moderately priced. The staff were a helpful and friendly bunch. If you have a long motorhome (mines 7 metres) Give them a call and they'll help you through the entrance, it's tight. Especially if you're solo like myself. I brought my dog who was most welcomed.

Stayed for a couple of nights on way back from picking up our vintage vw camper. Really relaxed experience and surrounded by beautiful countryside and historic villages. We ate some lovely food in the pub and drank local beers and ciders (Rosie’s Pig cider). I believe they also have a microbrewery as well. Will definitely recommend and will return to this historic pub near Yeovil.

Stopped for lunch after doing a search for pub type eateries near out of town Yeovil and come up with the Masons Arms. Greeted very politely as we had arrived before 12:00, served with two beautiful tasting coffees before ordering lunch, two small meals, ham egg and fries plus home made fish cakes and salad dressing followed by apple and raisin crumble that was beautiful. Both my wife and I left the Masons Arms well fed and full. If we are in Yeovil or near in the future we will definitely visit again.
