  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 children, 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.

  Absolutely fabulous!

  ! ⭐️ What a place to stay, off the beaten track and surrounded by woodland. The perfect spot to unwind and relax but so close to all the beaches and attractions of North Devon. We had the most amazing week, relaxing and exploring Devon and the house was just the perfect place to base ourselves, a gorgeous Edwardian house with huge rooms and everything you could wish for was provided. Plus a fabulous bathroom and bath big enough to lie fully down in. I wish we could have stayed for longer. Saffron and Shelby (the owners) are great and do anything to make your stay more enjoyable. Our fur baby was greeted with treats and toys and they even provide a dog bed to make her stay as comfortable as ours. Lots of places nearby to eat, the Sawmils at the top of the road did great pub grub and the Dolphin in Combe Martin had a fabulous Sunday carvery, if you can, try the Blue Groove in Croyde their mussels are divine, so many other great cafes and eateries to choose from. Then pick up a couple of cheeky bottles of Devon cider to take back to the Woodlands and enjoy them sitting on the veranda with perfect views. Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and it is definitely a place we would return too. Thank you The Woodlands/Saffron/Shelby you are super stars.⭐️

  Lovely comfortable house in a great location. Within easy walking distance of shops,restaurants and all amenities. Valley of the rocks is a must and loads of feral goats. Parking is on the road and there were no issues. You can buy a parking permit for the car parks that cover the area for £25 for 7 days, look on line or purchase at numerous place's including the large art centre by town hall. The house was well furnished and equipped with good oven, induction hob,washing machine,fridge freezer and brand new dishwasher. Rear garden full of fushias with lawn area and picnic table. Had washing line outside but had airer also in cupboard in dining room, plus iron and ironing board. Good wifi for the entire house. Loved staying here with my family. I had the upstairs bedroom with ensuite shower and it was brilliant. Great shower and views from window across the roof tops.

  The cottage is beautiful, nicely decorated and was beautifully clean. The 2 king sized beds are very comfortable and the bed linen good quality. One king bedroom to the front of the house, the family bathroom, bath and shower, facing the rear garden along with the twin bedroom. The top storey has a very large master with an impressive modern shower room. The sitting arrangements on the ground floor are very comfortable. The kitchen is very neat and tidy with sufficient room to accommodate 2/3 people cooking together. The outside space is a pleasure to sit in. The immediate neighbours are friendly without being intrusive. The area is very quiet especially on the evenings. There are shops very near to the house, along with the cliff railway. All in all, a fabulous house, great location and very comfortable.

  This property is in a great location. We have stayed around the area for the last 5 years and this was by far the best for accessing beaches and areas of interest. The property is very well equipped with modern decor, The only improvement we could suggest is maybe to install an outdoor tap. Would be useful if the dog needs a hose down etc. There’s several dog walks within easy reach. The ‘Great Field’ is a lovely place to walk your furry friend. There’s also a lovely shaded walk into Braunton village centre - great for the really hot days! Tesco superstore is approx 6 minutes walk and the village itself offers a good range of shops. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely return.
