We recently stayed at Kingfishers for the first time and honestly, we’re already planning to come back! The cottage was just perfect for our week away - super cosy and well-equipped. The real highlight was the view over the lake; waking up early was totally worth it because there was always something interesting happening, like kingfishers, heronsand even a doe with her fawn grazing nearby. The hot tub was a lovely bonus after long days exploring. Such a peaceful spot, we loved every minute of it!
Sam
Really nice place, well located and everything you need.
Oliver
We had a lovely stay at this charming villa by a peaceful lake. The place really has a cosy, rustic vibe with two en-suites and dressing rooms, which made things very comfortable. It’s perfectly placed for exploring the north Cornish coast but still feels tucked away from the hustle and bustle. The lane leading up is a bit narrow and potholey, but nothing major. We enjoyed the lake’s carp, some reaching 5lband the hot tub was fantastic-really well kept. Would definitely come back!
