We really enjoyed our stay. Such a beautiful place to stay, both inside and out. The property was so clean and of really great quality. The surroundings were simply stunning. It was so peaceful, and waking up each morning to cows in the adjacent field was a delight. Well definitely be back!

This was our first visit to kingfishers and it wont be our last. We had a lovely week and spent most of our stay at the cottage as it was so perfect. The view of the lake was amazing and was worth getting up early every morning as there was always something happening on or around the lake. We had kingfishers, herons, moorhens with their babies and Read morea female deer with her fawn grazing at the lakes edge. The cottage had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay and the hot tub was fab too! Hide

Lovely villa style accommodation overlooking a small lake. Property boasts 2 en-suites and dressing rooms which were a welcome addition. Well located for access to north Cornish coast, but still tucked away and quiet. The short lane approaching the property is potholed and narrow, but shouldnt put people off. Plenty of carp to 5lb in the lake. NiceRead more views from the property and the hot tub was well maintained and of good quality, we were in it most days. Would love to return. Hide

We spent a really lovely week in Kingfishers. It was so calm and peaceful not only because of its amazing surroundings but also because of the clever design choices in the house. So beautiful and so comfortable. Thank you.
