We had a lovely time at Kingfisher Barn.

We had a lovely time at Kingfisher Barn. The pictures actually don’t show just how lovely it is. It was brilliant to have 5 on-suites as we were 3 generations together. There was everything we could need at home too!There are many lovely places visit not far from the property. The games and gym room was a bonus and the boys loved being in there. I had several communications with Erica and she was extremely helpful. We definitely plan to go back to this property!
