Located in the secluded Valley Springs, the cottage has its own fresh spring water supply and is surrounded by rolling farmland within the South Hams, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
