Puffin Cottage is presented to a high standard, every detail has been considered to make your stay relaxing. The master bed is really comfortable and big with views straight across the sea. The kitchen is very well equipped. We didn't want to leave.
Easy communication with friendly host. The second bedroom was very dark so not as pleasant as the beautiful upstairs bedroom. Great location. Very close to other properties so sometimes a bit noisy.
