Puffins Anniversary holiday
Nice place spoilt by overgrown garden and problems with appliances. Nice walk down a foot path with the dog to Porthilly cove and easy to walk to Rock beach and Daymer bay.

Lovely little cottage
The cottage parking was convenient. The cottage was as advertised. A cute but comfortable house. Nice walk to the beach. Nice area. Should the weather have allowed, I’m sure we’d have used the little garden area.

Lovely Cornish Break
Stayed at Puffins for a week. Lovely cottage, as described in ad. Location was great - easy to walk to the village store and down to the beach (and Mariners pub!), with Porthilly Cove just around the corner. Cottage is nicely presented and very clean. When we had a small problem with the washing machine, the maintenance team was really quick to respond (thank you, John and Justin). Highly recommend and we will certainly book again.

Building site
Hectic building work being carried out behind this cottage. We asked to be relocated and we were sent immediately to a much better location.

Rock Break
Puffins really worked well for us as it was a nice, clean cottage with plenty of room for 5 of us, (3 teens) and a dog. We spent most of the day on the beach, but it was a haven to return to for tea on the terrace. Fantastic Cornwall hols!

August Bank Holiday week
Easy and efficient booking of Puffins cottage. Email before our holiday included all the information we needed. Cottage has kitchen with ample plates, cups, glasses etc but short on pans for home cooking. Bedrooms and toilets clean and well equipped with cosy lounge and dining table. Great location with easy walk to beaches and ferry as well as shops, delis and restaurants.

Lovely cottage in a fabulous location - with a path down to Porthilly beach and near to central Rock
Terrific location - the cottage was simple but well equipped - we would love to come back! Minor faults - we missed not having a bath and the garden was overgrown making the table and pathways feel cramped;

June/July getaway break
Great little cottage to be based from in Rock to use as a base to explore the surrounding coastal paths and beaches. A quieter place to stay than Padstow but with easy access to it via a regular quick ferry. The restaurants in Rock serve good food at a reasonable price with great service. Thoroughly recommend it.
