  • "Lovely clean property and matched the description."

    The house was perfect for a holiday with our two dogs and we enjoyed the river view next to the terrace. Our host was friendly and available in case of any problems (there were none). The property had everything we needed for our stay and had been maintained really well.

  • "A lovely little cottage in a great location to visit surrounding area."

    A nice welcome on arrival with tea, coffee, biscuits and fresh milk, even treats for our dog Murphy. Very clean and super comfy bed. Only negative for us was the power of the shower, although it was spacious and a beautiful bathroom.

  • "Kingfisher Cottage was really lovely."

    The owner had thought of everything we may need, including some yummy biscuits for our dog, huge tail wag for that. There were extra throws if needed, which even in June we did! We wouldn’t hesitate to rebook if coming to Cornwall again.

  • "Kingfisher cottage was amazing, immaculately clean and had a brand new feel."

    Caroline, the host, has added lovely touches with plants and ornaments and the kitchen has absolutely everything you could possibly need. Super comfy bed and the bathroom is big with a great walk in shower. Outside lots of seating to sit and listen to the river and the bird’s singing and it’s so quiet and peaceful. Caroline is just so lovely, easy to contact for anything you may need. We had a wonderful relaxing stay (including our 2 dogs) and we will most definitely be back

    Thank you so much, it was a great pleasure having you visit Kingfisher Cottage and I'm so glad you had such a good time. I'm also happy that you really liked the river and the birds, it's such a tranquil place and I look forward to seeing you again with your lovely dogs too, Caroline Property Owner

  • "Lovely cottage with excellent facilities."

    Only very minor niggle... the bed was a bit soft.

    Thankyou very much, I'm glad you liked the cottage. It's a difficult thing with the mattress, I bought a good quality medium in the hope that it would be likely to cover most bases, I'm sorry that it wasn't quite right for you and I hope it didn't impact too much on your stay.

  • "Quite pleasant, well equipped."

    Very quiet and peaceful. The bathroom would benefit from a shower only, the bath is very awkward to get in and out. The egg chair was appropriate as it was Easter. But an armchair would be better. I loved the discovery of the antique cups and saucers and the little Kingfisher outside the front door.

    Thank you for your nice review and I'm glad you had a good stay and enjoyed some of the little extras. You'll be glad to know that I'm planning a large walk-in shower at the end of this season so I hope I can welcome you again. All my best wishes, Caroline Property Owner

The property

Tintagel 6 miles.

Situated on the River Inny in the peaceful area of Davidstow, Cornwall is this single-storey, sunny detached cottage, Kingfisher Cottage.

Perfect for a couple or solo traveller, this charming retreat is within easy reach of the coast, with a babbling stream running alongside the cottage for a tranquil break at any time of year.

On arrival at the property there is an easy self-service check-in, while a designated off-road parking space makes unloading your bags an easy job.

There are welcome gifts to enjoy for both humans and dogs.

Step into the sunny open-plan space and begin your holiday with a cup of tea or a light lunch out in the courtyard, where you will also find a barbecue to rustle up your dinners in the warmer evenings.

Inside, the kitchen offers everything you need for an elaborate meal, or a quick picnic to enjoy at the beach, including an electric oven and hob and a fridge/freezer.

Dine with your loved one at the dining table for two, before unwinding with a film on the Smart TV; choose from a plush sofa where you can snuggle up, or a stylish and sought-after egg chair for the ultimate relaxation.

When sleep calls, the double bedroom offers a lovely space to rest your head, with plenty of storage for your belongings, and when you wake, freshen up in the bathroom before setting off on an adventure!

For days out while at the cottage you are spoilt for choice.

Immerse yourself in history with the grandeur of Roughtor and its Bronze Age ruins on your doorstep in the AONB of Bodmin Moor, or tour the nearby WWII Davidstow Airfield and Cornwall at the War Museum just around the corner.

Maybe make your way to the nearby coast for plenty of walking opportunities along one of the most dramatic and beautiful parts of the South West Coast Path.

Venture into beautiful Boscastle, which is just a short car journey away, and visit the mystical Museum of Witchcraft and Magic, before enjoying the spectacular views of Warren Point at Boscastle Harbour and discovering the cliff top rock arch, the Ladies Window that lies between Boscastle and Tintagel.

In the lively village of Tintagel, there are plenty of attractions to enjoy, foremost the legendary Tintagel Castle amid its vast sea views after crossing the stunning new bridge.

Spot seals in Tintagel harbour, and later maybe visit the famous Old Post Office, a Manor House which dates from over six hundred years ago.

Follow in the footsteps of King Arthur and explore the dramatic falls of St Nectan's Glen in an enchanting, wooded area, or wander the captivating coves and caves such as Merlin's Cave under the castle or Bossiney Cove, for a private picnic with your loved one.

Just down the coast is Port Isaac where you can wander through TV's Doc Martin’s harbour village and visit the well-known fishmonger right on the slipway or, at the top of the village, a wonderful family run cafe and shop where the local lobster and crab are brought in by their own boat.

The beaches are famous here, spotlessly clean as they are washed by the sea twice a day, while most are dog-friendly - often, your footprints are the first.

Surfers have a wealth of choice of different challenges from the easy to the more tricky like the local secret of Tregardock, where the big tides at full and new moon mean you can get to the other end of the huge beach and forage for the really big mussels.

There are many restaurants in the area that range from wonderful cafes like Charlie’s in Tintagel who are proud to use the local produce from this lovely area to more heady establishments if you want to push the boat out, where you can try the food of world famous chefs who include Rick Stein, Paul Ainsworth and Nathan Outlaw.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.
