We all
have high expectations when we book a holiday but how often have
you been disappointed? With PUFFINS you won’t be.
We have made every effort to
furnish and equip the property to a very high standard with excellent
quality new furnishings and appliances and all the bathrooms have
been newly refurbished. We provide bed linen & towels (please
bring your own beach towels) and all the beds are made prior to your
arrival.
We use a local agent to make
sure the holiday cottage is spotlessly clean & tidy before you arrive and
will deal with any problems you may have during your stay.
Our aim is to ensure your stay
at PUFFINS is as stress free & pleasurable as possible and
your holiday in Salcombe will be full of happy memories.
Salcombe - South
Devon
Salcombe Harbour provides a natural haven for nature
and humans alike. Birds flock here in thousands and the estuary supports
a wealth of plant and fish life, some of which is extremely rare. The
region's warm (almost Mediterranean) climate enables many species of
plant to flourish here, even if they are found nowhere else in the
United Kingdom. Dolphins and basking sharks are just some of the frequent
visitors to the estuary waters, which also form one of the UK's most
popular ports for yachtsmen.
The
town itself is highly popular with all, boasting many high-quality
shops, restaurants and cafes as well as quick access to beautiful beaches
through the ferry links to East Portlemouth and South Sands.
