This reverse-level home in the Devon countryside offers the perfect blend of coast and country for a group or family of six looking to explore the region. Start with a leisurely stroll through South Molton’s (3.5 miles) Pannier Market for fresh local produce, then head to Quince Honey Farm (2 miles) where kids can learn about the preservation of bees and burn energy in the indoor play area. Keen walkers can immerse themselves in the wild beauty of Exmoor National Park, with trails that wind through moorland, wooded valleys, and up to the dramatic Valley of the Rocks (20 miles). On sunny days, head to the coast, with award-winning beaches like Woolacombe, Westward Ho! and Saunton Sands all within 21 miles of the holiday home. Book a surf lesson, hunt for crabs in the rock pools or roll out your beach towel on the golden sands and relax with your holiday read.

Marvel at the spectacular lakeside views before stepping inside the reverse-level wooden-clad lodge. The open-plan living space is designed for comfort, with plush sofas, sleek industrial beams, and a wood burner ready for cosy evenings (please note, there is no TV in this room). Head upstairs to a relaxed snug where squishy bean bags and a Smart TV provide a hangout spot for younger troops. The show-stopping kitchen is beside this and is decorated in contemporary colours and textures, adding a modern twist to the rustic charm. Its island seating, reading nook, Smart TV and views that stretch across the lake mean it’s the heart of the home. All three beautifully designed king-size bedrooms and the bathroom are on the ground floor and ready for deep slumbers until dawn.

Outside, kick back on the spacious deck with a glass of something cold or strike up the BBQ to dine alfresco. Feel free to explore the acre of open landscape and take it all in, and you may even spot some of the roaming chickens on your travels. There’s private parking for two cars.

We stayed at Kingfisher as a family of 5 with 3 teenage children. The accommodation was clean and modern with plenty of room. The kitchen was well equipped and there were lots of welcome goodies on arrival. The host checked in with us after arrival, Chris was friendly and gave helpful advice about the local area. The gardens were well cared for witRead moreh lots of space to run around. There are chickens on the land, they generally kept to the other side of the garden. Cows and sheep are in adjacent fields. The kingfisher was on the jetty and feeding from the lake most mornings, swifts and house martins took over the patrol for the evening. A beautiful location and a relaxing week. Hide

Kingfisher is a beautiful property in a peaceful setting surrounded by nature. We were welcomed by the friendly, excited free range chickens as we arrived, whilst the landscape was being kept pristine by one of the resident robotic lawnmowers. We were fortunate enough to be the first visitors at Kingfisher and had such a wonderful experience andRead more was made to feel at home by the hosts who also left some much appreciated welcome gifts, the property is modern and well equipped but doesn't take you away from having nature right outside your window. We were lucky enough to be able to view a pair of Kingfishers easily from the deck on most mornings which is outstanding to have these birds available to view from the comfort of the property with swallows flying above and dipping into the water. Over the week we saw , Kingfishers, coots, moorhens, swallows, house martins, heron, buzzard, hare, chickens, sheep and cows all within the property landscape. We will definitely be looking to return in the future. Hide
