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

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

Old Dairy Farm Centre - PO30 2NB
about 14 Miles
Suited to families with children of all ages this is a fantastic attraction in Northamptonshire.  There are many special events held throughout the year so don't forget to check what's happening while you are staying in the region.  Some highlights include the lambing weekends and the monthly local food fayres.
Old Dairy Farm Country Shopping and Craft Centre - LE14 3PF
about 14 Miles
From shopping to home cooked refreshments this is a wonderful day out in the pretty village of Upper Stowe.  You can enjoy amazing views over the Northamptonshire countryside and wander around the complex of stone built farm buildings.  Each building houses something different such as the Occasions Florist, Itsy Bitsy Gifts, Hayrack Gallery and Sheer Delights Lingerie.  When it's time for a rest the Barn Restaurant and Tea Room is the place to go.  There is a small selection of animals at the centre too which younger children will love.  They currently have two Kune Kune pigs, sheep, hens and ducks.  If you are looking for upmarket holiday accommodation in the Northamptonshire area then the luxury lodges at Wicksteed Park are sure to impress.
Catanger Llama Trekking - NN12 8LJ
about 17 Miles
This is a really unique attraction and certainly worth a visit in our opinion.  Established in 1995 and situated in the heart of the Northamptonshire countryside this attraction will appeal to those looking for something a little different.  You can't ride the animals but you can trek alongside them and enjoy the fantastic scenery.  From farm tracks to country lanes the gentle animals will carry your rucksack for you along the way.  There are personally guided treks available all year round and you will have your own Llama for the trek.
Ash End House Childrens Farm -
about 23 Miles
With family fun for everyone a trip to this farm makes a memorable day out in Staffordshire.  Some highlights of the day might include the chicks and ducklings in a basket, goat kid walking, bottle feeding the lambs or bunny brushing.  Located in the Tamworth area of Stafforshire this attraction is easy to get to.  Look out for special events taking place throughout the year including weekend and school holidays when extra activities may be organised.  Don't forget to meet Chirpy while you are there - the extra large chick!
Conkers - DE12 6GA

Conkers is an award winning attraction located in the midst of the National Forest.  Combining both indoor and outdoor activities this is an all weather attraction in the Peak District.  It's really easy to get to as well, just 5 miles from Junction 11 off the M42.  Designed for all ages some of the highlights include the Enchanted Forest Adventure play area and a simulated Tree Top walk.  Look out for special seasonal events such as October half term and the Annual Halloween Party.  At the moment you can receive a fantastic discount if you book your tickets online.
