  The cottage is quaint and the set up was good ideally located for walks and visits to local pubs.

  The cleanliness was not that good when taking a closer look cobwebs in many places dust on top of picture frames and internal areas of kitchen cupboards unclean.only 1 light bulb working in bedroom no replacement bulbs this was mentioned in the visitors book in November and still not dealt with no toilet brush in the bathroom and no torch under sink which would of been ideal when letting the dogs on the back yard in the dark at night and early morning. We took my mother in law who is 81yrs old so even though she is active she couldn't do the walks with us so she chilled in the cottage to watch TV.unfortunately when we got back she said she couldn't find any channels I had a look myself and no channels follow in sequence ie bcc1 bbc2 itv1 channel 4 they were miles apart and you could change channels several times and the same programme would appear needs completely re tuning in.some information leaflets were over a year old and the cleaner is a local lady and the back garden grass is cut fornightly by a company it got me thinking when was the last time the owners actually visited the cottage and checked it over thoroughly. Most disappointing thing was We stayed over the Christmas period and paid basically double the cost of the weekly cottage rate out of season and it was not decorated not a bauble in sight!!!! Felt very deflated on arrival so we went out and bought a small Christmas tree with lights. Very poor standards. Welcome pack was 1 nice touch.

  We loved our stay at Puffin Cottage.

  It was clean, comfortable and had most of the items you needed for your stay including. It was tastefully decorated and had some nice touches. The wifi was seemed to work in most of the cottage. The enclosed garden was great and safe for our dog. The steps down to the back door are a little uneven and slippery when wet. You definately need a torch if you forget to leave the outside light on if you pop out in the evening. The parking at the rear of the property was a real bonus and although we didn't use it in November, the summer house and other small garden would be great in the summer. The stairs in the cottage are steep, but with care they are fine. We only used the front bedroom and the bed was really comfy! The bathroom is downstairs and its good size with a great shower over the big bath. The lounge is comfortable with two, 2 seater sofas and a log burner. I couldn't keep the log burner alight but was probably due to my lack of knowledge of log burners! The TV in the lounge is quite small and I found the Sky TV guide rather confusing and annoying. Puffin Cottage is ideally situated for visits to Scarborough, Robin Hood Bay and Whitby. York is just over an hour away. There are lots of interesting walks and views just a short walk from the front door including two pubs. We would recommend Puffin Cottage at any time of year but we especailly enjoyed our November stay. Thank you.

  The pictures dont do the justice of this stunning cottage.

  It locates in the owners farm and also has good access to coastal towns. The property itself is very spacious with a beautifully maintained garden. Its enclosed so our dog could wander freely without me checking him constantly. He went to front open space too where he interacted with the owners dogs and explored their barn. The views over the field was just breathtaking. My partner stood by the window upstairs hours daily reading and enjoying the scenery there. The horses were magnificent and my partner just fell in love with Max. The sheep had a funny character approaching me for a petting. They kept barrbarring until I noticed them and gave them some good attention. The owner was very helpful and offered us to use their tumble dryer as the weather was wet during our stay. We didnt find kitchen scissors and tongs but managed without them, so didnt bother to ask the owners. The only thing I would say is the washing machine door seals might need a change. But it doesnt stop us visiting again. All in all, this is a great accommodation. Well done Robert and Joanna for your effort put into it

  This is our 2nd stay at Puffin Cottage, our last visit was 12 months ago.

  We very much enjoyed our stay again and most things were the same. Luna our dog finds it a home from home. We very much appreciated the much larger replacement LG TV in the lounge. Great addition to the cottage! The salt stored in the utility room was very welcome for the back steps after the snow. We did find that the radiator in the bathroom was not working so we ended up leaving the door open so it was at least warm in there and put the damp towels over the other radiators. There are two ceiling lights in the bathroom. The light over the toilet flickers and is very dull and ideally needs replacing. We went to use the log burner. There were logs but no kindling or matches to get it going. We purchased both the next day and it was lovely having the burner going in the evening. Kindling and matches would be helpful for us novice log burner users. Please not I replaced the batteries in the central heating thermostat on the wall on the stairs as it showed they were depleted. You may need to make sure its set correctly. Thank you.

  A perfect weekend to switch off from normal day to day life, the weather was nice for a change so we were able to sit out for breakfast and chill in the gorgeous garden, which is completely private.

  The hot tub was so relaxing and sheltered so also private. The garden has a few security lights up so was well lit for you to stay out in the dark. The beds were comfortable and we all slept well both nights. Kitchen facilities were great, everything you needed down to kitchen foil. We didn’t really use the sitting room much as we were outside but it was cosy for the tiny bit time we did sit in it. Both hosts were friendly and approachable and explained the basics when we arrived. It was nice to know they were close by (as the properties are attached) if we needed anything without them being in your face, added security is always good. We loved the peaceful surroundings and being surrounded by horses and sheep when we ventured out for our walks was a real treat. The whole weekend from start to finish was perfect, couldn't fault a thing. Thank you for making us welcome and will definitely be returning.
