    “We loved Kingfisher and would be more than happy to return to this delightful property in its idyllic setting with its verandah, garden, and terrace overlooking the river.”

    We'd settle for the 'duck alarm' any time in this quiet location! A huge bonus was the provision of an EV charger. This made charging our car so easy, convenient, and was very much appreciated. The garden was also perfect for our small Norfolk terrier - although the fencing to the river would benefit from a little netting. We couldn't allow her off the lead because her eagerness to get to know the ducks was just too great! We've deducted one star for these reasons: As a former holiday ...

    We'd settle for the 'duck alarm' any time in this quiet location! A huge bonus was the provision of an EV charger. This made charging our car so easy, convenient, and was very much appreciated. The garden was also perfect for our small Norfolk terrier - although the fencing to the river would benefit from a little netting. We couldn't allow her off the lead because her eagerness to get to know the ducks was just too great! We've deducted one star for these reasons: As a former holiday cottage owner of the same standard, it was unforgivable to have tacky plastic flowers dotted around the garden; there were also dead flowers dumped in a bucket by the front/patio door. The verandah obviously hadn't been cleaned for ages and was covered in duck poo. When I ran my holiday let, owners were required to provide a hairdryer as standard. After searching high and low throughout the house, no hairdryer had been provided. So, I had the extra expense of paying £25.00 for a new one. Had I known, I'd have taken my travel edition with us.
