I really enjoyed staying in Little Puffins as it was very comfortable and warm. The decor throughout was very tasteful and compliments the nautical location. The bathroom was of a very generous size and the shower a perfect way to relax after an energetic day on the beach. I would definitely come again and recommend it to my friends and family.

We loved Little Puffins! Full of charm and character and ideally located in Appledore, it has been sympathetically renovated and is now very comfortable and well equipped. The owners had provided all the essentials for us when we arrived so we could settle straight in. They are easily contactable if you need help with anything but we didn't apart Read morefrom a question about where to put the rubbish. The cottage is not easy to find initially, as the entrance to Ibex Court from Irsha Street is very small but once found, never forgotten! We parked in the Churchfields car park on The Quay, which was 30 for a week via RingGo. There is free parking along Torridge Road as an alternative. Recommend the nearby Beaver Inn for excellent food but you need to book if you have a dog so that you can eat in the bar. Hide
