Overview
Property code: 72791

Set in an idyllic location, this beautiful barn conversion has been lovingly furnished to assure a peaceful stay. For those looking for an adventure during their stay, then you must discover Dartmoor which is renowned for its changing landscape, stunning views, deep wooded valleys with fast flowing rivers and rugged, wide open spaces. Located nearby is the train line, so, enjoy a day trip out on the train to the cathedral city of Exeter, which combines high street shopping with places of interest such as the Roman wall and the ancient cathedral. For those looking for the coast you have plenty to choose from, to the north you have the beautiful village of Croyde which offers a sandy beach and to the south you have the dramatic red cliffs of Sidmouth.

As you arrive at this remarkable barn conversion take a moment to enjoy the spectacular surroundings on offer. Once you have entered the barn the entrance hall is the perfect spot to kick off your walking boots, dry off your paws and hang your coats. To your left is the kitchen, which is well-equipped with an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, washer/dryer and French doors, allowing you to pull back the doors and enjoy the evening sun whilst enjoy your supper. Across the hall is the delightful lounge, beautifully furnished allowing you to sit back and relax amongst the rich, soft furnishings and benefits from a Smart TV, so you can watch your favourite TV programme or relax in the comfortable sofas and enjoy a good catch up with friends. After a long day of exploring, head up the stairs where you will find two charming bedrooms, which offer one double and one twin zip-and-link (which can be made up as a super-king-size on request). Also, on this floor you will find the bathroom which consist of a shower over bath and WC. Wi-Fi included. However, due to the rural location, speed and connection may be intermittent.

This cottage was perfect. Exactly what we were looking for. A lovely, quiet and private location with amazing walks along the Tarka Trail directly from the front door and a secure garden for the dogs. Be very careful with the driveway if you have an estate car - it's very steep and the car easily grounds out.

We have never returned to a previous holiday cottage but made an exception for Kingfisher cottage and are glad we did. We love the quiet isolation and it has all the comforts we need for us and our two Yorkshire terriers.

A lovely location and very close to the Tarka Trail so didn't have to drive anywhere the whole week. The weather was fabulous and we were able to eat most meals in the garden, so great to have table & chairs. Thank you for a very relaxing holiday!

Absolutely loved our stay at Kingfisher Cottage. It was really clean, well equipped with great facilities. The dogs loved the secure garden and the local walks. Our daughter appreciated the garden too, and the swingball set! We would definitely book again, sad to leave but grateful to have had such a lovely relaxed break. Thank you

We absolutely loved our stay. Truly dog friendly - large, fully enclosed garden and access via the fields to the River Taw. Weve rented many holiday cottages over the years but this one has to be up there in terms of quality, attention to detail, equipment, stunning views across the fields/wooded valley and a truly rural, tranquil location.

I couldnt recommend this place highly enough. So peaceful and the views are just beautiful. The cottage was lovely and cosy and Im missing the underfloor heating already! Despite other comments regarding this being too hot, we have 3 giant breed brachycephalic dogs who struggle with heat and they all loved it and didnt struggle at all. Perfect placRead moree for a peaceful break, plenty of space for dog walks and not too far from the likes of Dartmoor if you fancy further exploring. Loved every minute Hide

Beautifully equipped and comfortable cottage. Very dog friendly. Really quiet location with lovely countryside views. You do need to drive to pubs, supermarkets and attractions but the central location really worked for us. We visited Mortehoe for the coast path, Lynmouth, visited friends in Honiton and explored Dartmoor. Would definitely stay hereRead more again. Hide
