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.

Kingfisher Cottage

Kingfisher cottage barn conversion was a delightful place to stay. Finished and furnished to a high standard. We loved staying there. 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. The host was very welcoming and helpful and the neighbours friendly. We are very happy to recommend it.

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.

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.
