What guests are saying
Lovely cottage, great pub next door too.
Thanks for your 5 star feedback - it means a lot :)
Everything was in good working order and the cottage was warm and comfortable during our stay.
My only suggestion is that you may want to update the crockery, some of it was dated and it would be nice to have some uniformity.
Thanks for your 5 star feedback and we are very glad to hear you found the cottage warm and comfortable. Thanks too for your helpful suggestion about updating the crockery - we will
Very welcoming and cosy cottage in an unusual historic setting which added to its charm.
Perfect position for cycling into Padstow along the camel trail and out to Bodmin though cyclists need to save some energy for the return from the trail up the hill to the cottages. The close proximity of the delightful pub with excellent local beer and a good menu was an added bonus. Well equipped kitchen. The inclusion of a nespresso machine and several capsules will be much appreciated by coffee drinkers. Great bathroom and comfortable double and single beds. Excellent value. Would love to return.
Thank you for your kind comments. We hope you return soon!
Had a lovely few days at Kingfisher cottage.
Very well equipped, spacious and clean. Would definitely recommend.
Lovely quiet cottage, very clean and well equipped.
Milk provided for arrival and a box of biscuits. The only issue would be very few electric sockets in the main bedroom and the door handle needs fixing. Loved the stable doors. The pub on the doorstep was great and very reasonably priced but unfortunately closed on Mondays.
Thank you for your helpful feedback. We are delighted to hear that you found the cottage lovely, peaceful, very clean, and well equipped, and that the welcome treats were appreciated. We also appreciate your comments regarding the bedroom sockets and door handle. We have since provided additional extension leads with USB charging points in the bedroom and carried out a minor repair to the door handle. We're so pleased you enjoyed the stable doors and made the most of the beautiful summer weather. It's also great to hear that you enjoyed the pub next door and found it to be such good value. We appreciate your note regarding its Monday closure, which may be useful for future guests when planning their stay. Thank you again for taking the time to share your feedback, and we hope to welcome you back in the future.
We enjoyed our stay at Kingfisher Cottage.
It is very pretty and comfortable.The cottage was as described. It was clean and well presented. We enjoyed the kingfisher touches. We had everything that we needed and really appreciated the tea tray and biscuits left to welcome us. It is in a good location, very close to Wadebridge by car. Thank you very much for a lovely stay.
The third year we have stayed in Kingfisher Cottage .
A really lovely place to stay.
Thank you so much for staying again and for your lovely feedback:)
Lovely, comfortable, cosy cottage.
Well equipped and spotlessly clean. Lovely kitchen with everything you need (certainly good enough to cook full Christmas dinner). Great location next to a good local pub. Ample parking. Great to use as a base to explore Cornwall.
Thank you for such a lovely review:) So glad you had a good time . Thanks for being such wonderful guests.
Beautiful cottage in perfect location.
Stayed many times but in different cottages and never been disappointed. Will definitely be back.
This is a beautiful property and great location for exploring Cornwall.
The cottage is clean, well kept and very comfortable. We visited with our 2 teenage sons; the second bedroom with single beds was great for them (16 and 18 years old). Having the pub next door was a bonus - great food and service - and the courtyard where the cottage is situated is picturesque. Parking is right by the cottage which is convenient. The owners were helpful and friendly. We would definitely recommend and I'm sure would like to visit again! Only suggestions would be to improve the shower which has very little water pressure and the bathroom door which can be hard to open which could pose a problem for younger visitors! But otherwise, a fantastic cottage and holiday! Thank you!
Thanks so much for your positive feedback:) The bathroom door has now been fixed and the shower pressure improved.
We really enjoyed our stay at Kingfisher Cottage.
It had everything we needed and was clean and comfortable. The outside space was a welcome bonus and it was a pleasure to sit out there when we got back from our days out as it gets the afternoon and evening sun. The Quarryman Inn is a bonus as you can fetch drinks. It is less than 30 metres away. There is plentiful parking too. The location is good for the exploring Cornwall too. There are some fantastic beaches nearby. Harlyn Bay and Constantine being our favourites. Padstow is close too. This was our second visit and we would go again.
This is our 2nd visit to Kingfisher Cottage and it’s very comfy, clean and it’s the perfect location for exploring Cornwall.
Thank you for your 5 star review:)
Cottage had not been cleaned properly and the hot water did not work.
Even after it was apparently fixed there was no pressure and you had to boil the kettle to wash up. Towel rail and hot water were run off a button that had to be pressed which would make them work for 30 minutes maximum, not enough to heat the water. Would not recommend and would definitely look elsewhere if we were ever to look at the area again. Very overpriced and even though the owners have said this has now been resolved it has left a very sour taste in our mouths!
Thanks for your feedback which we have immediately acted upon. We have fixed the hot water problem and hired a new cleaner. It’s always upsetting to hear guests have not enjoyed their stay, especially after fitting new kitchen cupboards and hob just before the stay. Our new cleaner has completed a thorough spring clean and all looks superb for the new season.
Stayed several times now / appreciate all the little touches like having milk, biscuits, tea and fire wood.
Only frustration is that as enthusiastic foodies and cooks the hob is very out of date and poor and none of the frying pans sit flush on the surface as they are warped so need replacing.
Thanks for your feedback- we will replace the frying pans straight away!
Great stay.
Very peaceful.
Lovely cottage in a great location for exploring the Camel Trail.
The lane from here is very steep and long though so difficult to ride back up on a bike. Some sort of bike storage would have been a bonus but we just kept ours in our car in the pub car park. The cottage was very comfortable. Only 2 electric radiators but kept the cottage warm. Comfy beds, shower was a little temperamental but adequate, towels provided. We had a fab time and food in the pub was lovely. Would return.
We had such a lovely time at Kingfisher Cottage, such a beautiful home from home and the proximity to the pub was a huge bonus.
The welcome package including tea, coffee, milk and biscuits was a lovely touch.
We had the most wonderful week at Kingfisher cottage.
It was very clean & comfortable. Couldn’t fault it. Definitely recommend The Quarryman for eating or just a drink, such lovely friendly staff & locals. The Camel trail is only a 20 minute walk away, down hill. Great bus service if you didn’t want to walk back. We visited Harlyn bay & Constantine beaches regularly for dog walks. Perfect cottage & location. Thank you.
Thank you for such a lovely review.
I did leave a note for the cleaner as we found : —water in the washing machine and red lights flashing when we arrived.
I switched the machine off and did not use the machine over the week. —The microwave has plastic covering missing around the machine leaving bare metal. —The pillows could do with being replaced as they were ‘flat’. —the bathroom floor was not clean. — the welcome manual could do with being redone. However, we both enjoyed so much about the cottage….the WIFi connections for the TV /radio were very good and the general amenities were clean. We loved the location being close to Wadebridge and the A39 for getting around that part of Cornwall. Being so near to the pub was a real asset! So, minor issues but they would have made our stay 4*.
Thanks for your feedback. The washing machine is now mended and new pillows and microwave bought! We will have a look at updating the welcome manual. Our great cleaner takes issue with your view on the cleanliness of the bathroom floor. But rest assured our cottage usually gets 5 stars for cleanliness and that’s our aim for the future.
We had a lovely stay in kingfisher cottage.
The team at Sykes were fantastic super helpful and efficient. We have booked to stay again next year
Lovely property, very clean and had everything we needed.
Particularly liked the decor, especially the pictures, very relaxing environment after a busy day exploring Cornwall. Would love to stay in this cottage again.
We had a really comfortable and pleasant stay at this cottage.
The location was very convenient for exploring the area and close to amenities. The cottage itself was spacious and comfortable. It was well kitted out and very clean. Would definitely recommend!
We have had a wonderful stay at Kingfisher cottage this week.
The weather & coastal path walking has been stunning. Edmonton is a really good base for exploring this part of Cornwall. Regrettably, the award winning ‘Quarryman’s’ pub, close by, was closed for refurbishment for the majority of our stay. Unfortunately the log burner here seemed to be due a major service/ repair due to a faulty grate mechanism so that was disappointing. We visited in early January and the cottage was quite cold and we struggled to get warm. Otherwise we would highly recommend this location. If you’re looking for a special meal out you’d struggle to beat ‘The Mariner’s’ at Rock. The Cornish Arms pub in St Merryn is also well worth a visit. ◦
Thank you for taking the time to complete your feedback. We are so pleased that you had a lovely stay and were able to enjoy the coastal walks. We are sorry to hear that the local pub was closed for refurbishment during your stay, this really was out of our control. We will arrange for the wood burner to be serviced and hope that we might welcome you back for another stay at a future date.
Our stay at kingfisher cottage was lovely.
Within minutes walk to the beautiful Camel trail walk along the river Camel. The cottage was was clean, neat and compact. My one and only extremely small concern was the rope hand rail going up the stairs, one of the wall fixings was coming loose, so with my elderly parents climbing up and down the stairs we had to be extra careful. Other than this I highly recommend this cottage and company to others.
Lovely cottage and very welcoming with all the extras that made it so comfortable.
It was a perfect location for getting to all the local villages and towns either driving or for walkers. Some information wasn’t too accurate - the pub was a lot nearer, four doors away, and everyone was so welcoming and the food was brilliant! The views of the Camel Estuary - there wasn’t any, just fields.
Lovely cottage, very comfy , had everything we wanted and needed , only thing could do with a new oven could not get it to work , not that we were planning to cook a big meal , we just used the microwave .
We all enjoyed our holiday and would visit again
The oven is working perfectly.
The cottage was lovely bright and airy with a modern finish.
Loved the stable doors back and front which let air in. The helpful holiday book could do with an update it is a bit out of date but that really was the only thing. Loved it.
Lovely welcoming cottage.
Warm and comfortable beds and furniture. Sunny afternoon / evening communal garden. Good kitchen utensils. Even blue tooth speaker. Everything for a wonderful stay. Only downside was I left dog bowl behind!
Unable to contact the caretaker to gain key safe code to begin with.
Cottage wasn't the cleanest when we got there, it was left a lot cleaner when we left. Coffee maker was moldy. Mug cracked and could of caused a serious accident. Overall its a wonderful Cottage to say in. Great settings, near a pub. Would use again,
Great cottage and base for visiting beaches and walking the Camel Trail.
Having the Quarryman Pub nearby was good, food was excellent and staff friendly and welcoming.
We had a lovely stay, during the recent very hot weather.
Having the stable doors was a godsend! The house was lovely and cool. Great location, with all the places we like to visit no more than 15 mins away (polzeath, Daymer bay, padstow, port Isaac etc) Plus Wadebridge of course. There is an M&S/petrol station 3 mins drive away which we found very useful as we arrived quite late in the day. The house was well equipped for cooking & has a Nespresso machine if you like coffee. Good shower, which is always a bonus on holiday! I imagine the house is very cosy in the winter months too with the wood burning stove. The only comment we had was the double bed is smaller than we are used to, but my other half is 6ft4! It wouldn’t stop us visiting again though as we loved our stay at Kingfisher Cottage. .
We had a throughly enjoyable holiday
Lovely cottage in an ideal place.
The pub is very convenient, staff friendly and good food. The cottage is set in a lovely setting with a grassed area and sunny aspect and area around lovely and quiet .Cottage accessible to amenities and road network. Also close access to the Camel Trail.
It was a WOW when we walked in.
Very comfortable, nice and clean, quiet and well maintained. Even Netflix for rainy days.
The property is lovely.
It has been well thought out and has everything you need. It was very thoughtful to supply tea, coffee, milk and biscuits. We stayed here along with 2 other families who rented cottages next to us and theirs was nowhere near as nice as ours!
The cottage is well located and we had good contact from the caretaker who was responsive and helpful when we needed.
The cottage itself whilst well laid out is a little jaded, particularly upstairs which needs some redecorating. The 2nd bedroom is certainly best suited to children, rather than 2 adults. We had 2 friends staying with us and they certainly felt the room wasn’t appropriate for adults. The power shower was very poor – if you enjoy a shower this isn’t the property for you as the water flow was more from the taps, than the shower. Overall, the property was adequate, but a little disappointing at the same time.
Thanks for your feedback which is really useful. The whole cottage is being redecorated next month and we will also look at the shower pressure. Guests have always been impressed by the shower in the past so I am sure this was a temporary problem.
A delightful good value cottage in a location that we know well.
Highly recommended.
The cottage was lovely and clean.
Well equipped with everything you could need. Great location, close to the town and not far from beautiful beaches.
We had a lovely time and the cottage was fine for my husband & I but would have been a little small if our grown up daughter’s had join us.
We had our two dogs with us so we did miss having our own garden to let them out for the loo. Lovely position for visiting lots of Cornwall. Wouldn’t pay the summer holiday price though.
it was super
A great cottage conveniently located for exploring north Cornwall.
Spotlessly clean on arrival, well laid out accommodation that we all enjoyed (including our dog Milo)! Padstow just over 10 mins drive, Rock about 15. Watergate bay about 20. Cottage is part of a block of cottages around the Quarryman Inn. Was concerned about “pub” noise but despite height of summer no issues at all - can also recommend the hand pulled Otter beer. Would work well in the winter due to wood stove in the sitting room. All in all a great place to stay.
The Cottage was small and compact, but probably one of the best equipped cottages we have stayed in.
Your website does not explain that there are at least 20 cottages in v close proximity.
It was quiet while we were there but I would think if more cottages are let out that it could become extremely noisy. Also in the summer the pub uses the outside area as a smoking area and customers can sit and drink and eat outside the cottages. This is not explained in your details.
Great cottage in an excellent location to visit all attractions.
Would love to stay there again.
A lovely cottage in a great location.
Ideal for visiting all parts of Cornwall. There was far more in equipment and such things as condiments etc than I expected. So good having a pub with really good food just yards from the door, and great that the cottage and pub were both dog friendly. We (my little dog and I) really enjoyed our holiday. Thank you.
Great central location to travel around Cornwall.
Beautiful beaches So dog friendly - Daisy and Lola had a fantastic time. Would definitely recommend this cottage - food in the local pub exceptional quality. All in all an enjoyable week. Claire
We have stayed at Kingfisher Cottage on a number of occasions.
One of the reasons we keep returning is the location - especially as the dog comes too. The cottage has great facilities. It a little off the beaten track but easily within reach of the local amenities plus some of Cornwall’s great places of interest. The ease of booking and helpfulness of the staff are also key features of the holiday experience. Well done to all involved. Hopefully we will be back next year. NB - One little point we found was the plug in the bathroom was a little slow allowing the wateri draining away and there was a often a small residue of water left. This is a minor hiccup and didn’t affect our holiday on the whole.
A lovely cottage in a peaceful setting close to Wadebridge and Padstow and with easy access to southern Cornwall too.
A cosy cottage with good facilities and comfortable and well looked after. It would be nice in the Autumn to get use from the log burner.
Good to know
