Guests that stayed at this property said
Most guests found Puffin Cottage to be spotless and tidy, contributing to a comfortable stay. However, a few guests noted issues with cobwebs and dust, suggesting occasional lapses in thoroughness.
The cottage's location is highly praised for its proximity to local amenities, walks, and attractions along the coast. The village setting is appreciated for its tranquillity, although some guests noted road noise.
Guests consistently report that the cottage is comfortable, with a warm welcome for dogs and a cosy atmosphere enhanced by features like a log burner. Some guests mentioned steep stairs and steps, which could be a consideration for those with mobility issues.
The cottage is well-equipped with a good range of facilities, but some guests reported minor maintenance issues such as problems with locks and lighting. The quick response to a heating issue shows good service, but there is room for improvement in maintenance checks.
Several guests mentioned a welcome pack, which adds a thoughtful touch to the stay. While such gestures are appreciated, it is important to note that these are subject to change and may not be guaranteed for every visit.
