The house stands in a wonderfully peaceful location in stunning surroundings, we were a party of four couples and there was masses of room for us all in the lovely house while at the same time feeling very cosy, everyone said what a wonderful property it was and I'm sure we will return for another holiday before too long as it was a welcome oasis of calm in a very busy life. Response: Thank you so much for your lovely comments and we look forward to welcoming you back for another visit. |

Would highly recommend Kingfisher cottage to anyone of any age with or without children young or teenage, wonderful place to stay with beautiful surroundings sat by the river (fishermans dream). We went with another family and our children 4 of them aged between 11 and 14 who loved it they didnt get bored so much for them to do they prefered staying at cottage rather than going out. We will definately be booking to stay at Kingfisher cottage again. |
