Our stay at kingfisher was anything but ordinary! It was absolutely amazing and so far in isolation its bliss!! The drive to the cottage is adventurous but definitely worth it when you arrive at the beautiful cottage. A definite recommendation for anyone looking to get out of the hussle and bussle of the city life. 10 out of 10. Thank you Vivian

Beyond the natural beauty, Kingfisher Cottage and the stillness of this little hideaway have found a special place in my heart. The unpolluted magical night sky, the raw beauty of the rolling hills and the personal touch by Vivian all contributes to an amazing break from the city. A much needed getaway for myself and Graeme. And the trout ... delicious!! We will definitely be back.
