Kingfisher Reviews

Annabel

A wonderful property that provides a lovely experience

Wonderful and peaceful place to stay will defiantly be booking again the hot tub was amazing just a perfect place to unwind.

Andrew

Great experience with the wood burner hot tub cant remember lighting a fire for a while nice touch

Richard

Absolutely beautiful place. The cabin was amazing bed so comfy. Definitely a 5 Star. Such a peaceful and relaxing place would definitely go again. Our only gripe was my husband loves fishing and the lake was covered in oxygenating weed, but they did leave note explaining that they had Canadian Geese nesting. Other that we loved it.

Jonathan

Absolutely stunning setting perfect retreat for some serious rest and relaxation ... Absolutely stunning setting perfect retreat for some serious rest and relaxation definitely looking forward to booking again thank you

Lovely setting and facilities. Would highly recommend to anyone. Only thing I would say to improve would be for there to be some kindling to make the fires easier to light.

Joanna

We had a lovely break. Peaceful and relaxed. Lots of wildlife to see on the lake. The reeds and vegetation have grown a lot so the lake is not visible from the veranda which was a shame. Most things we needed in the cabin. Hairdryer would be a good addition. Hot tub was wonderful. We would definitely like to return again and maybe try one of the other cabins.

My husband and I stayed at Kingfisher Lodge for our anniversary and we were not disappointed. The Lodge is located on a working farm with 2 other lodges around the lake but was peaceful. The owners were lovely and really helpful. We took a walk to Dobbies nursery which had lots of variety and the on to the Friendly Inn. The food, staff and locals were all very friendly also. The Lodge was clean, and comfy and very private. The hot tub was clean and easy to heat up, the only thing I would say is that Willow Lodge across the lake had a clear view and would have been nice if there was a privacy screen or something. There is a fantastic patio section which is under cover and we were able to sit out there on the first evening while it was raining and not get wet at all. We highly recommend this place and we will be definitely returning next year.

Claire

Had a lovely 2 night stay. Location was beautiful and perfect for what we wanted. Really enjoyed the wood fire hot tub. Would definitely recommend

Heather

We had a lovely stay at the Kingfisher cabin, it was very tranquil and cosy. The owners were easy to contact if we required any help during our stay. The only small additions we could think of were a peelermasher for the kitchen and advisement on what the owners would like us to do with the recyclingbins. I have already recommended Manor Farm cabins to friends and family as we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Robert

A very tranquil,very cosy wooden cabin ideal for those looking for somewhere peaceful and undisturbed. Owners lovely and helpful, many thanks.

Sharon

Love the cabin but maybe a log pile under the porch so as not to keep requesting more from owner. As hot tub used a good few .

Faultless all the information on the pack very useful and accurate. The cabin itself was stunning, the bird feeders out on the decking such a nice touch

Phillip

Best cabin break I have been on. Peaceful, remote yet easy to get to places, clean and super helpful friendly hosts. The cabin itself is cozy with a fireplace and a lovely view of the lake. Ill definitely be back soon

Excellent Sherherd hut nice size we loved the property, everything you could need is there and comfortable. You do need transport lots of walking available but the nearest pub is 5mile round walk to Frankton which is along the cycle track, so a fair walk.

Taylor

Beautiful cabin and scenery, we had a fantastic stay and had everything we needed. Will definitely be recommending to friends and family! Improvements? some outdoor lighting by the hot tub would be great especially during the winter months since it gets so dark so quickly. And potentially trimming down some of the reeds so the lake can be seen when sitting down outside... however none of this is needed just me and my partner being picky

Brilliant little getaway Kingfisher is so secluded and peaceful. The cabin itself is modern but also very cosy and well equipped! The hosts respect your privacy but are also there at the drop of a text if you require anything. Couldnt recommend this place enough and we will definitely be back!

We had a wonderful stay at Kingfisher cabin! Set in a peaceful area and beautiful surroundings, we really enjoyed taking in all nature had to offer. Kingfisher itself was modern, spacious and clean. Every effort had made to ensure our stay would be comfortable and welcoming. The hot tub was amazing to sit in and watch the sun go down. The hosts are fantastic, letting you enjoy your stay but still available if you have any queries! I was lucky enough to chat with Elinor about the local area and conservation of the land. Anything I would change? Maybe a more robust bin in the kitchen as the flies definitely like to come in from outside. But honestly, thats just a minor point. We loved our stay and we will come back!

Beautiful place inside and around. Thank you.

This is an ideal place for a couples break. I booked it for our anniversary. The property overlooks the pond in which you can observe ducks, swan's and various other birds. Set in a very peaceful, beautiful and tranquil surroundings. The property was clean and tidy with all of the kitchen facilities included. The owners left free range eggs and their own honey made on the farm. A lovely extra touch.

Lovely spot, very comfortable cabin. We had everything we needed. The hot tub was great. Such a relaxing experience, but also plenty of days out nearby if you wish. We have already recommended Kingfisher to friends and family and we would definitely go again. Thank you!

The Kingfisher was in a great location by the lake with a lovely view through the French doors. We used the hot tub which was a lovely touch. Our plan was to use Kingfisher as a base to do plenty of walking. It was great for that as we didnt use the car all week With various walks of interest.

Just an idea a visitor book this would allow people to write down there experiences and ideas of what to do.

Natalie

We absolutely loved staying here, it was so quiet and right in the middle of nature. There were coots, moorhens, swans and geese all wanderingswimming past with their chicks, and bluetits in and out of their nest on the veranda. I even opened the curtains one morning to a green woodpecker pecking around on the grass. Nel and Will were also fantastic and very helpful hosts. The cabin was pretty well equipped with the only improvement we woud recommend being somewhere to hang towels next to the hot tub.

Lovely little place the owners have clearly put a lot of effort into creating these peaceful getaways. A definite reccomended place to stay
