This was our first visit to kingfishers and it wont be our last. We had a lovely week and spent most of our stay at the cottage as it was so perfect. The view of the lake was amazing and was worth getting up early every morning as there was always something happening on or around the lake. We had kingfishers, herons, moorhens with their babies and Read morea female deer with her fawn grazing at the lakes edge. The cottage had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay and the hot tub was fab too! Hide

The property was first class, well situated and equipped
David
Lovely villa style accommodation overlooking a small lake. Property boasts 2 en-suites and dressing rooms which were a welcome addition. Well located for access to north Cornish coast, but still tucked away and quiet. The short lane approaching the property is potholed and narrow, but shouldnt put people off. Plenty of carp to 5lb in the lake. NiceRead more views from the property and the hot tub was well maintained and of good quality, we were in it most days. Would love to return. Hide
