Kingfisher for familes

Review Submitted: December 6, 2009 Date of Stay: November 2009
Lovely, homely and so well equipped. We have stayed in good accomodation before but this was excellent. All the bedrooms were very spacious, extremely comfortable and well furnished. We have 2 daughters, 4 years and 12 weeks old, and would recommend the barn to any other family. We had a great time exploring the South Hams area from this perfect location.

Perfect peace in a luxurious cottage

Review Submitted: May 5, 2011 Date of Stay: April 2011
Our family (2 adults and 3 children aged 10, 7 and 6) stayed in Kingfisher Cottage for a week at Easter 2011. I can't recommend the cottage highly enough. It's beautifully furnished and decorated, with large, light and airy rooms, the beds are incredibly comfortable with super soft cotton sheets, the bathrooms are spotless, the kitchen is fantastically well stocked and the owners have thought of everything to make the cottage luxurious, yet cosy. There is a very large balcony / terrace outside the front door where you can have your morning coffee in the sunshine while gazing at the beautiful shared gardens and pond. The cottage is hidden away from the road so there is no traffic noise whatsoever, but I'd recommend a sat-nav to both find the cottage and explore the local countryside. The lanes are very narrow and winding and came as a bit of a surprise to a city-girl like me! We had some wonderful days out; I recommend Dartmouth for ferry trips, boat hire, steam train, crabbing and ice-cream, Dittisham for a fab pub and cafe - and more crabbing!, East Portlemouth and East Prawle for beaches and Salcombe is pretty. We had some good green lane walks, esp at East Prawle. We also visited Agatha Christie's house at Greenway nr Dartmouth and, further afield, went to the National Park and Castle Drogo. There is a very well stocked and upmarket farm shop, wood-fired pizza cafe and plant shop in Stokely Barton which is well worth a visit and we used the local Easy Market (about 5 mins drive) for everyday shopping. Lovely local pubs, beautiful countryside and lots to see and do - a perfect British holiday! We hope to return next year.
Recommended for:  Age 55+, Girls Getaway, Sightseeing, Families with Young Children, Romantic Getaway
Owner's Response: Glad you enjoyed the cottage and sounds like a you fitted lots in to your week.

Fantastic cottage in great location

Review Submitted: May 3, 2011 Date of Stay: April 2011
Just had a great week staying at Kingfisher Cottage. The accommodation is superb with lots of space for everybody. Bedrooms are very comfortable and bathrooms fitted to very high standard. Great sized lounge & kitchen/diner. Excellent base for exploring this part of Devon. Very easy to get to local beaches & places of interest by car. Great pubs not too far away. Cottage is one of a few converted barns rented as holiday lets situated around a central duck pond with communal grounds. Cottage has own large secure terrace - great for children and dogs! Would highly recommend.

Our joint favourite holiday cottage in 15 years!

Review Submitted: March 21, 2011 Date of Stay: March 2011
We've just returned from a superb relaxing week in the beautiful South Hams area of South Devon based in Kingfisher Cottage.
Kingfisher Cottage was beautifully appointed and had everything we needed just to turn up and chill out!
Our Black Lab Jake loved walking up the drive to the country lane, and to snooze after a day of exploring the coast and countryside in front of the cozy log burner! In every other property we've stayed in we had to buy our own logs - the generous supply included in the rental was a great bonus.
Everything was so easy, from booking through to following directions to the property. The owner James has been very helpful and efficient with everything.
We loved the peace and tranquility of Kingfisher Cottage, yet found it so accessible for local amenities - Kingsbridge supermarkets only 4 miles drive away, and local beaches a short drive away.
WiFi internet access allowed us to keep in touch with our business which was a real added bonus for us.
We will not hesitate about booking another holiday here and would highly recommend Kingfisher Cottage.

Great cottage, great location.

Review Submitted: January 25, 2011 Date of Stay: January 2011
We stayed at Kingfisher Cottage for a long weekend in January 2011. The Cottage is in a lovely rural location and was really well equipped and very comfortable. It was also perfect for the kids.

There's lots of great areas of coastline to visit in the area, such as around East Prawle and Hope Cove and lots of good pubs to find amongst the villages. Totnes is also worth a visit to explore some interesting shops and cafes.

You'll definitely need your own transport (you’ll need to drive to any amenities) and be prepared for navigating small country lanes, but it's well worth it for the location and standard of accommodation.
Recommended for:  Age 55+, Pet-friendly, Adventure Seekers, Sightseeing, Families with Young Children, Romantic Getaway
Owner's Response: Glad you had a great time at the cottage and enjoyed the surrounding area.
