Puffin Retreat is perhaps a lovely name, but this Property is anything but a Burrow! Lovely modern spacious property, the outside aspect surrounding a little communal, but it is so close to Town centre & amenities/Beach, no dissapointment. Well decorated, with some lovely thoughtful personal touches ( throws for cool evenings, games for childrenRead more, welcome Gift) Extremely well thought out & presented Manual to help guide visitors. Although we did struggle, to understand how to put the heating on, for cool evenings. Fitted out beautifully, especially the kitchen. I loved the corner cupboard, the door simple yet effective. The utensils lovely, plenty of floor space, very well designed, downstairs & up. The beds were extremely comfortable, very soft, bedding too, clean cotton cool & warm on cold nights. Excellent shower, although not a walk-in. The fixed stairgate for us, was very welcome, with a young child in our Party. My eldest son & I really enjoyed our stay although sadly may not return, as my Mobility has deteriorated ( had hired a Boot Scooter which failed sadly) so that I will need an Accessible Property in the future. However, highly recommend this Property, especially welcomingly cool, after hot days on the Beach! Appreciate the Parking provided, with a very friendly neighbour. Braunton is a very friendly welcolming Town, with a lively Community local feel. I heard someone say & happen to agree, those that visit, often would love to stay!!! For me, Devon outshines Dorset. In my youth, I loved Dorset, but it has changed & become too expensive & not value for money. Devon's Beaches are beautiful, the local people even, clearly love life there. My destination of choice especially, as not too far to Travel. Most envious of those, able to fully enjoy, all it has to offer. Can recommend Waves, where you csn decorate a Ceramic of your choice. We have never done before, but found it an engaging way to relax! Many thanks to the Owners & Housekeeper, for ensuring our stay, was very enjoyable. Hide

Lovely house in great location, could do with an outside tap and shrubs in garden quite overgrown which meant a lot of it blows into the house. Small problem with there being no mattress or bedding for the travel cot. I understand the reason for this but probably best to mention on website so that people can bring their own if they need to use the Read morecot or maybe dont have a cot at all. Hide
