Guests find Puffin Place comfortable, highlighting the super comfy bed and sofas. The warmth of the house, even in cold weather, contributes to the overall comfort. However, some maintenance issues are noted that could affect comfort levels.
While the property is well-equipped with a smart TV and kitchen essentials, guests have reported maintenance issues such as unstable chairs, missing DVD players, and fire escape windows not opening. Kitchen utensils like blunt knives and insufficient mugs are also mentioned.

Puffin Place is only 200 yards from the glorious golden sandy beach of Beadnell Bay. This is a popular destination for watersports enthusiasts, with activities including sailing, kite surfing, sea kayaking and scuba diving. The welcoming village of Beadnell offers local facilities with two family friendly pubs serving food, and a local village shop, which are all less than a mile from Puffin Place. Two miles up the coastline is the traditional fishing port of Seahouses, where there are boat trips to the nearby Farne Islands, which depart regularly from its harbour. Here there are several charming tea rooms, quaint pubs and shops.
A further 3 miles up the coastline is the picturesque village of Bamburgh, which lies snuggled in the shadow of its majestic fortress and commands the power and presence of the seasoned television set it regularly becomes. Holy Island – the birthplace of Christianity and site of Lindisfarne Castle – can be seen from the unspoilt golden, sandy beach. Just a few miles inland is the bustling market town of Alnwick, with its own dramatic castle (and film location for Harry Potter’s Hogwarts Academy!). Visitors will enjoy a trip to Alnwick Garden – a spectacular interpretation of a formal garden including the Grand Cascade waterfall and restaurant within the largest tree house in Europe! Shop, pub and restaurant 750 yards.

The house is a 5min walk from the beach and a very nice eating, drinking bar called "The Landing". It's about a 25min walk to the village (Take a torch on a night as it's not lit up very well).The house was clean and comfortable. The kitchen well equipped and a smart tv in the living room was a good addition. Despite the weather being cold and windy, the house was lovely and warm. Main bedroom has a tv and en suite. Good parking.Couldn't have asked for more.
