“we were blown away by Puffin's Rest. Beautifully decorated throughout, plenty of space for everyone as a family of 5 and we'll equipped too. The location is fab for visiting the local area. My main gripe was that the blinds didn't keep the sun out whicj meant the kids were up for the day at 5.30/6 each day! We will definitely return again.”

“Check was a little tricky as we were not sent the gate access code only the lodge code so had to call Host and Stay who then sent a text . Clearer instructions on which gate to enter would have been good before arrival . Puffins rest is beautiful and very comfortable . Only 2 things that could have been improved . Glasses and cutlery were dirty so needed washing again before use. No sponges, washing up liquid or scourers to wash up. There is a dishwasher but things like saucepans etc really better washed. Only one tea towel to dry up with . These things are cheap to buy and would help guests keep the place clean and nice . Other than this we had no complaints as a wonderful place to stay.”
