We booked the Kingfisher retreat after finding that the 4* and 5* hotels in the area were fully booked - and we're so glad we did!

I stayed for two nights in the Gardeners Lodge which was perfect for me and would be ideal for romantic couples as you have your own space away from the house. Owls hooting greeted me when I arrived in the dark, and the ducks quacking to wake me... More

I really can not recommend Kingfisher Retreat highly enough. It is a picture perfect tranquil place run by two (or three if you include mum!) of the nicest people you will be ever be likely to encounter. Chrissy and Martyn are that unusual combination of a couple who whilst they are friendly, approachable and very professional, they do not make... More
