Guests say
Puffins is a well-equipped and tidy holiday home in a fantastic location, ideal for exploring Port Isaac and the surrounding areas. Guests appreciate the cleanliness, the welcome items, and the garden for dogs, making it a pleasant stay overall.
The property is generally described as clean and tidy. However, one review mentioned a smell of mould in the bathroom and a hoover that smelt of damp dog, suggesting room for improvement in these areas.
The location is highly praised for being walkable to Port Isaac and close to the Atlantic highway, making it convenient for local exploration and days out.
Comfort receives mixed reviews. While the location and garden are appreciated, several guests found the sofa uncomfortable, which detracted from the overall comfort of their stay.
The property is well-equipped, but some guests noted the lack of specific items like a cafetière and pasta bowls. Additionally, issues with the heaters and the need for updates were mentioned.
Guests were pleased with the welcome items provided for both humans and dogs, which added a thoughtful touch to their stay. However, it should be noted that such gestures are not guaranteed for future guests.

Puffins was clean and the equipment supplied was good. The sofa however was very uncomfortable and made for a very uncomfortable stay. Also the heaters were controlled by the owners. Peter did turn the heat up a bit and said we could override to have control, but did not give us the instructions to do this. I really wasn't a relaxing place to stay.

Puffins could do with a update. Bathroom really small, and smelt of mould. Settee really uncomfortable to sit on. Hoover smelt of damp dog, could do with a bag change, of freshner in it.
