Wonderful property

The property is lovely, on beautiful grounds. Very peaceful and relaxing with plenty of space for 4 adults.and 3 children. It's a 15 min drive through very narrow lanes to the nearest town, so no shops or pubs in walking distance. But we loved our stay and would certainly recommend for a relaxing stay.

Great family trip

We had a lovely week at Kingfisher Cottage. It’s a very nice family space, plenty of room, very homely and a great kitchen. The bedrooms were also lovely, cosy and very comfortable. It’s close by to lots of lovely beaches as well as being not too far from Dartmoor so we were able to explore a bit of both. Kingfisher Cottage was a lovely place to return to after a day of exploring.

The property was very well equipped with everything you could need, we cooked every day in the wonderful kitchen and the children had a great time playing with the toys and reading the books.

A hidden gem in the heart of the countryside

Kingfisher Cottage was a very pleasant surprise. A beautiful cottage. Large living space which is ideal for families or small groups. Everything in the cottage was of very good quality and was designed for both comfort and elegance. The place was spotlessly clean and very welcoming. The owners allow dogs but you would not have guessed on arrival. We had a perfect weekend.

Excellent few days at this lovely house

We have just returned from a long weekend at Kingfisher Cottage and we've had a lovely time. The cottage is really lovely, is very clean and comfortable and is in a great position. The owners have thought of pretty much everything from a very well equipped kitchen to a plentiful supply of logs for the fire. We really liked this area of Devon, there is plenty to see and we had a great couple of meals at the Tradesmans Inn, the food was excellent and the staff were very welcoming. We have all had a lovely time including the dog! We will be back.

Stunning location

We had a lovely week at this cottage. Very homely instantly felt relaxed! The kitchen was very well stocked and and easy to cook in. James has thought of everything throughout the cottage books game’s lovely fire and comfy beds. The weather wasn’t great so spent a lot of time indoors, lots of great pubs locally and beaches when we ventured out between showers! Make sure you pick everything when you’re out when you head back as a quite a way from the shops.

Wonderful cottage close to beaches

We were a group of 2 families at the cottage for a week and had a good holiday inspite of the weather being wet throughout. There were couple of issues with the internet and electric fuse which was promptly sorted by the owner, however took almost a day to sort. The internet becomes a very critical aspect of the stay since there is no phone network available in this area. The brand new spacious kitchen/dining was the best part as we spent most of our time in the evening. The cottage was quite close to many south devon beaches and we managed to visit a few of these beaches. Most of the beaches/coastal walks were within 25-30 mins drive. Pros - Location, spacious cottage, internet speed, recently refurbished modern kitchen. Cons - More kitchen accessories needed. pet friendly items like bowls etc would be nice to keep.

Christmas stay

Very well equipped and a comfortable house. Lovely kitchen perfect for a family stay. We were however disappointed to not find a Christmas tree, we have always rented houses over Christmas and New year periods and have never experienced this before. I think it would have been good to let us know of this before we arrived on Christmas Eve and we could have made our own Christmas arrangements.

Nice cottage in great location

We had a lovely stay at Kingfisher Cottage with a 10 year old and a 7 year old - well-equipped smart kitchen, large bedrooms, outside terrace for evening drinks and food. Great location with the beach and coastal paths just 15 mins away and an easy journey to Kingsbridge, Salcombe and Dartmouth. We also spent a day on Dartmoor, swimming in the Dart and trekking up onto Bench Tor - only a 40 minute drive.

During this time the cottage has been extensively refurbished and we also enjoy our holidays at Kingfisher Cottage.

Why they chose this property

We bought Kingfisher Cottage having visiting the South Hams area many times. we realised that it was the ideal place to have a holiday home with excellent beaches, pubs and estuary towns (Kingsbridge, Dartmouth, Salcombe) combined with a host of activities and sports for all ages.

The area also offers a fine range of local produce to cook foe example for Stokeley Farm Shop including the attached South Hams Brewery. in or sample in the local pubs with our local the Bear and Blacksmith having won a number of awards based in Chillington, or the thatched Trademans Arms in Stokenham.

We specifically bought Kingfisher Cottage as it is a spacious character barn conversion which is located in a beautiful location next to a spring fed duck pond.

The cottage is close enough to to all the attractions and award winning beaches, but has the benefits of being in a peaceful location with three free parking spaces which can be hard to find in peak times.
