    “Lovely property.”

    Very well equipped kitchen. Sadly we didn't have enough towels and both hair dryers were not very powerful. Fantastic view and clean throughout. Should really be two bins in the kitchen for rubbish and recycling really. Some signs flat was tired. Still enjoyed our stay. Many thanks.

    Thank you for your review and I'm glad you found the property lovely and clean with fantastic views and clean throughout. I checked with the housekeeping team re provision of towels and they assured me that as usual there were sufficient bath sheets and hand towels provided for your party. Puffins is a self catering apartment not a hotel where guests have the option of daily towel changes if they wish. The hairdryers are well powered. We have not had any negative comments re towels nor the hairdryers in 10 years of running Puffins. There is a waste bin but as the kitchen is relatively small we find guests tend to prefer to take their recycling down to the communal recycling bin daily. To help any other guests reading the reviews, I would add that 3.1 is the lowest feedback score given to Puffins in 10 years and we have consistently been rated at 4.9/5 overall until now.

The property

Located in Cornwall's coastal village of St Ives, Puffins is a contemporary two-bedroom first-floor apartment. Puffins is a fantastic tourist base for couples or a family of four who are looking to go away to Cornwall. Unload your luggage and take in the beautiful scenery of Belyars Croft from your off-road parking spot. Follow the oak flooring through to the open-plan living space where you can get ready to cook delicious dishes for your visitors in the well-equipped kitchen, stocked full of high-quality glassware and crockery alongside fantastic amenities including an electric oven, induction stove, microwave, and dishwasher, making cleaning up a breeze! Whether you prefer to dine indoors or out on the balcony, you'll be able to take in the stunning ocean views from the comfort of your own private dining table for four. As the evening grows darker, snuggle up on the plush sofa where you can relax in front of your favourite show on the flat-screen TV. Pour in the bubbles and indulge in a blissful soak in the bath or a refreshing rinse in the shower before wrapping up warm in a premium towel as you prepare for bed. Catch your rest in one of the two well-appointed bedrooms, a super-king-size with en-suite shower room and a twin, each offering a zip/link feature along with crisp white linens, elegant venetian blinds and curtains, twin bedside tables with lamps, built-in wardrobes for storage and full length mirrors and hairdryers to help get ready for the day ahead.

The Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Gardens, along with the well-known Tate gallery ensure the art lovers in your party are well-catered for. Be sure to take a trip to Porthminster's family-friendly beach where you can build sandcastles with the kids, paddle the clear waves, or simply sit back and enjoy the sun.
