We've stayed at Kingfisher Retreat 3 times and it's never been any less than perfect. Martin and Chrissy have always gone out their way to help us make the most of every stay. The rooms are beautifully furnished, kept immaculately clean and the cottage is picturesque. Breakfast each morning is the best we've ever experienced; fresh fruit, homemade bread and... More

Stayed here over a weekend and was exactly what I pictured. The b&b and surroundings are stunning, we stayed in the chauffeurs lodge which has a great private feel to it. When we arrived the owners were not in but they made it easy for us to check in and drop our bags in, the room was perfect a real... More

Kingfisher Retreat is a prime example of just how brilliant B&B can be in the UK. The setting is peaceful and beautiful and the accommodation is charming, fresh and comfortable. Chrissy and Martin provide everything one could need along with such thorough instructions and a helpful guide to local places to eat, drink and visit. Our breakfasts were perfect and... More

We have recommended this B&B to all family and friends upon our return, Chrissy & Martyn were lovely, very warm and welcoming! Martyn and Chrissy had some great stories, tips for the local area and a brilliant cooked breakfast. The location is perfect for a romantic quiet weekend set in The New Forest, within reach of Fordingbridge High street, but... More

This was a wonderful weekend break. Without a doubt the best thing about this B&B is Chrissy and Martyn. They were very friendly and helpful and gave us lots of tips on what we should do for our weekend. We are vegetarian and my husband also is allergic to egg, and they made an extra effort to prepare a cooked... More

We stumbled across this excellent B&B by accident. What a result. Without doubt, one of the best we have stayed in. Martyn & Chrissy were very welcoming, pleasent hosts. Nothing was to much trouble for them whilst they are welcoming you into their beautiful home. They provide maps, local guides to where to eat and any other info you may... More

We stayed for two nights in October. Thankfully the weather held out but it wouldn't have mattered if it had rained. We stayed in the Gardeners Lodge, which is a fantastic cabin in the garden, entirely separate from the main (amazing) house. We overlooked the spring fed lake, and that and the gardens are open to wander and enjoy. The... More

Martyn and Chrissy were very welcoming, they really made us feel like nothing was too much trouble and their B and B was immaculate and comfortable. I cannot fault it. There are some lovely walks right on the doorstep. You will have to drive, or walk half an hour, for a shop or a pub as the location is fairly... More

Stayed for 3 nights with my wife, we stayed in the gardeners lodge which was very homely and comfortable. The setting of the whole place is great and set within great walks and nice pubs, all of which Chrissy and Martyn will advise you on. We spent a couple of afternoons relaxing by the lake. Breakfast was really tasty, thank... More

The photos on here really don't do justice to the colourful gardens, the spring-fed lake, the jetty over the lake where you can sit and eat. It is the perfect peaceful retreat, no noisy kids allowed which was a big selling point for us. Elegant comfortable rooms with good provisions and big comfy pillows. We were in the Gardeners Lodge...
