Park up and take the Spalding Water Taxi to the Springfields Shopping Outlet which is a relaxing 30-minute cruise. There is a pub serving good food within one mile.
Please note that a Grey seal is entering the river Glen over the sea gates every few days, and has enjoyed the fish stocks within, although there is quite a significant amount left for the fishing sport.

This was a last minute booking for the three of us, and we could not of been happier with the accommodation, and location. The hospitality from the owners is second to none. Everything you could think of was available in the accommodation and the little welcoming treats were greatly received. We would definitely be looking to return next year to enjoy the peace and tranquility that Reflections has to offer.

We had a fab time but we drove to the beach every day apart from 1. It was a 2 hour round trip. There certainly isn’t enough to do for children but if you want a beautiful spot on the river, read and chill then this place is perfect.

Reflections is a wonderful, relaxing place to stay. Very peaceful and full of nature. Everything that you needed was inside the place, only thing missing was a washing machine, one of our children is very messy so we had to make sure we had more clothing than normal. The owners are just next door and very friendly. If you needed anything they were more than happy to help with anything. If you would like a relaxing couple of days or week, no noise, I highly recommend Reflections.
