"A wonderful homely stay."
Kingfisher is fully equipped for a short or long stay. 10 mins walk to the lovely village with a pub, post office and shops. 20 minutes from Bideford and shopping park Atlantic village. Perfect base for exploring Devon and Cornwall. Hosts could not do enough to help us. With a small enclosed garden and a lake and meadow beyond it was great for our dog too. We stay for 6 weeks visiting family and we’ve booked again for January.
Thank you Tess for the fantastic feedback. We loved how much you felt at home staying in Kingfisher. It was great hosting you both and we look forward to seeing you in the New Year. Ernie is especially looking forward to seeing Lexi again! Property Owner

"What a fantastic little cottage!"
We had a great week here. Jo and Zak are lovely, friendly hosts, very welcoming. Everything is provided that you can want for and cake on arrival was very thoughtful and unexpected, thank you. We went with our two dogs and it was perfect, they have a lovely private garden with the cottage and also use their garden with a large pond to walk around so was perfect for a quick morning walk. Sat on a lovely country road just outside the village so very peaceful and not too far to walk to the local pub which serves great food. The village I would say is quite central so can go off in different directions easily depending on what suits you to do, inland/coast activities. Plenty of info available so you can choose what to do. Maybe some new advertising pics and defo underselling. Felt like a bargain. Thanks so much for a great holiday
Thank you Beth for the great feedback and review of Kingfisher Cottage. I am so pleased it ticked all the boxes for your stay. Your description of the cottage and location is exactly what we would be drawn to when choosing a holiday-let for ourselves. So I think this marks one of those moments when you realise you've got it just right! And on your recommendation I shall be contacting Helpful Holidays regarding new photos etc. Thanks again.

"We had a lovely week in Kingfisher cottage despite the weather!"
It is a well equipped cosy little holiday home, both Jo and Zak were friendly and helpful. They even supplied a welcome cake on our arrival which was a lovely surprise. The cottage was clean and well maintained. There is a low ceiling in the bathroom but we managed not to bump our heads and it really wasn't a problem. There was a plentiful supply of pamphlets and information about the location and beyond. The grounds are lovely and the walk around the huge pond was secluded and tranquil. Out little dog loved it. I would happily recommend it if you want a quiet country location to stay, the village is just a short walk and the pub food is good. We will happily book again.
Thank you so much for your feedback Kerry. You certainly made the best of the week despite the weather. It was great to meet you both. We hope to welcome you back again soon...fingers crossed for sunshine next time! Property Owner

"We have just had a short stay at the Cottage."
Ideal for the two of us and a dog. The Hosts were lovely, welcoming and polite but allowed you your own space etc. The cottage had everything you need and with a local shop 5 min walk away you do not need to arrive with a car full of provisions. The area is quite remote and you must be prepared to Drive to see Sites etc, but the plus side of that is that once you've had a busy day out sightseeing, the cottage is secluded enough to chill and relax in the evenings.
Thank you for the feedback Graham. You're spot on with your description of our location. That is why we love living here. And just to add, for those reading feedback before deciding if Kingfisher is the holiday cottage for you, a road map can often be more useful than satnav when negotiating our narrow country lanes.

"Jo and Zak are lovely people and excellent hosts."
The cottage was exactly as described and very cosy. The cake, milk and logs for the fire were much appreciated. The cottage has its own private garden area and is set in lovely grounds with a lake that you can walk around. The local village has a great pub. Highly recommended.
Thank you for the feedback Laurence. We're so pleased you found the cottage cosy and enjoyed your visit to our great local pub! We hope to welcome you both back for another short break in the near future. Property Owner

"Comfortable, character cottage sited in extensive grounds including ponds, lawns and woodland walks."
Cottage includes discrete enclosed area ideal for pets. Property is situated on outskirts of Bradworthy, a traditional Devon village situated a short drive from the North Cornish Coast and has a wide range of shops providing all essential services and includes a traditional pub with a good range of foods available to eat in or take out. The owners home is attached to the property and they are very friendly and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Kingfisher Cottage and would recommend highly both the property, the area and the helpfulness of the owhners to anyone looking for a stay in this beautiful, peaceful area

"The property is very clean, has great decor, is very comfortable & set in lovely grounds."
It is ideally located to explore North Devon & Cornwall as it is close to the border. Jo & Zac are great hosts, very friendly & helpful with information on where to visit in the area. We would definitely stay at Kingfisher Cottage again when in the area & have no hesitation in recommending this as an ideal place to stay.
Thank you for your feedback Matt. It was good to welcome you both and hear how much you enjoyed exploring North Devon and Cornwall. Zac has since done the walk from Morwenstow church, passed Hawker's Hut and all the way to Bude. He didn't spot any seals this time, but loved the stunning views. We hope to see you next year!

"Fortune and the weather smiled on us when we managed to get Kingfisher Cottage as a last minute break."
A lovely little cottage with secluded outside seating and access to the owners' extensive gardens with lake and stream, ideal for walking dogs at the start and end of the day. Open moorland where dogs can run free only a 10 minute walk away as are shops and pub, lots of dog friendly beaches within a comfortable driving distance and hosts who treat you as friends and not just clients. Plus a welcome food pack including home made cake. Mary Berry eat your heart out!
We're so pleased you enjoyed your stay with us. It was lovely to host you both too. It's great having the open moorland nearby for walking, with or without dogs. The wild orchids have just started to come out and are looking beautiful. We hope to see you soon when you're next passing after your rock pooling adventures. Property Owner

"A fabulous little cottage and location."
Jo and Zac were very helpful hosts. Perfect for our dog Scout too who loved his morning scamper around the lake and saying hello to the chicken.
Thank you for your feedback. We are lucky to be in such a great location. You've got us thinking about Bude Sea Pool. We have walked passed it many times on a dog walk, but are yet to dive in! Perhaps we should give it a go! Property Owner

"This was our best holiday in many years,the hosts Jo & Zac were amazing, very helpful and knowledge of where to go/eat was spot on."

"What a lovely, quirky cottage!"
It was very welcoming on our arrival especially with the cake for us and some doggie biscuits for Pippa. It was in a great location for visiting both Devon and Cornwall. Jo and Zac seem to have thought of everything to make their guests comfortable. It was a strange week dodging showers or heavy rain and then by the death of our Queen. I would recommend this cottage.
