Positioned ideally to get out of the hustle and bustle, without compromising on location, Kingfisher Cottage is a tranquil, snug bungalow style property situated within the parish of East Down.   Nestled amongst a rushing river and peaceful woodland, with a private lake for coarse fishing and picnics and an abundance of woodland walks, this is ideal for an intimate country break.

Located just 1 mile away from the grounds there is a pub serving local food and ales, and in any direction from the property you will find that some of North Devon’s best offerings are just a short drive away, including Exmoor National Park, the seaside resorts of Combe Martin and Ilfracombe, and the picturesque villages of Lynton and Lynmouth.

The cottage features private outdoor seating and a hot tub further to the property to compliment the choice of outdoor activities available within the grounds with some more relaxing options. There is an open plan kitchen/ living room and dining area, and the cosy bedroom provides easy access to the bathroom.

The cottage is in a lovely location and was well equipped for our stay. The owners were welcoming and available for any questions. The weather was variable during our week but having the cottage meant we could be flexible to make the most of our time there.
