Puffin's Rest

Puffins rest was as lovely as the photos, easy to find and had everything we needed for our stay. We would definitely look at returning if we come back to the area. Short walk down to Runswick bay, big hill on the way back but we managed with the kids ok.

On the whole, a lovely property and a great family holiday. The property and amenities are exactly as specified, the location is easy to find and the setting is really very lovely. Beds, sofas and soft furnishings are all of excellent quality.<br/>However, there were a few issues:<br/>1) As mentioned in a few other reviews, the standard of cleanliness wasn't what I was expected for the price (behind/underneath sofas was thick with dust, fixtures also very dusty, etc)<br/>2) Although rectified onsite (and within 24hrs) by a kind chap who was not directly affiliated with Host and Stay, a corner post and two very large panes of glass fell through on the outside decking area shortly after we arrived at the property. Some other smaller maintenance issues as well (e.g. trim coming away from outside steps, causing a hazard).<br/>Unlike other Airbnb properties, you won't find welcome baskets etc on arrival sadly, but this isn't a deal breaker. A genuinely lovely property, but some room for improvement.

Gorgeous lodge beautifully decorated and in a peaceful location. Would love to return

Lovely quiet location. Great cabin, clean, cosy and had all the amenities we needed.

Great location, really good for a family break.

Insufficient instruction: I was struggling to find the lodge. It needs more deep cleaning the dust comes from underneath the furniture.

The Puffins Rest cabin at Runswick Bay has been an excellent holiday stay for us. We found the place to be exactly like the pics, neat and tidy, and with all the amenities working well. The host was also very responsive and helpful with detailed communication. Within the cabin, there was a nice pack of instructions and tourist information. Which made it easy to manage stuff around the cabin and for us to plan things to do on our holidays.<br/>The location is very private, quiet and peaceful. It is within the Runswick Bay village area with easy access to pubs and seaside. Runswick Bay itself is within short driving distance to other coastal locations like Staithes, Sandsend, Whitby and Robin Hood's Bay. So plenty to explore around the coast for a few days. <br/>A few things you may want to plan out though. Firstly, it is best to have your own car even though public transport is available. Secondly, grocery shopping are limited. We did ours at Co-op in Staithes.<br/>Overall, highly recommended.

Lovely, peaceful place to stay. Immaculate and has everything you need. Great coastal location.

Great family stay,with all amenities available,suitable and safe for a toddler too.

We were blown away by the comfort, finish and ease of this property. It had everything we needed and the decor and furnishings were of a very high standard. The Pines is a quiet gated community that was good to be part of while we wet staying at the Puffins Rest. We will be coming back in the future for another stay in this great location which was a number of stunning places to visit nearby.

This is the second time we’ve stayed at Puffin’s Rest and we enjoyed it just as much. The lodge is very spacious and comfortable and in a great location for walks. Our children loved the bunk beds and the fire was lovely in winter.<br/>It would be nice to have a slightly earlier check in, particularly in quiet periods and a welcome pack with a few essentials such as a few extra pieces of wood would also be a nice addition.

We had a great stay at Puffin’s Rest. The accommodation was perfect for a short getaway with lovely and clean facilities. Would definitely recommend.

This was our second stay at Puffin's Rest. Even with the cold weather outside it was lovely and cosy with the wood burning stove. The place was spotless and we felt immediately at home. We loved that we could walk directly out from the cabin for little hikes along the coast or a trip to the pub round the corner. I look forward to our next visit!

What a beautiful property, just simply a touch of class and luxury<br/><br/>What's not to love

Lovely place to stay. Sadly the place wasn’t clean when we arrived - the surfaces and floors needed to be cleaned more thoroughly.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Nice accommodation lovely stay in beautiful Runswick Bay

Beautiful chalet / cabin. Very well presented, with everything you could possibly need. Perfect for a family holiday by a beautiful seaside town. We would 100% come back.

Beautifully furnished and decorated with everything you needed for a great stay .

The photos really don’t do Puffin’s Rest justice. It was a beautiful place to stay with everything that you could need in the lodge. We had a very relaxing weekend, in a little bit of luxury!<br/>We will definitely return.

È un ottimo chalet<br/>grande, moderno e pulito.<br/>Tutti i servizi funzionanti perfettamente.<br/>posto auto riservato accanto.<br/>siamo rimasti molto soddisfatti.

Stunning lodge in a peaceful location! No expense spared in this lodge, the decor and furnishings are to a high quality. <br/>The lodge is well equipped, felt spacious and clean throughout. The area is beautiful and had a lovely coastal walk to Staithes. <br/>Great communication and easy entry. Would highly recommend and have done to friends already. We look forward to returning.

Great modern chalet within a few minutes walk of Runswick Bay beach and the Cleveland Way long distance path. Squeaky clean

Well equipped lodge with lovely interiors. Child friendly and easy to get to. Our family had a lovely time. 1year old, three year old myself my partner and my mum. We came for a long weekend to celebrate a friends wedding in Whitby and it was perfect.

The cabin was excellent. Done out to a high spec, everything you could need in terms of kitchen and easy to feel quickly at home. Peaceful site minutes from the beautiful Runswick Bay. Particularly lovely to be able to sit out on the balcony in the sunshine until late evening. We loved it.

Great stay. We felt right at home in the spacious lodge. Everything clean and tidy with well equipped kitchen. Short walk to Runswick Bay. The bunk beds (with porthole windows) were a big hit with our 4 year old.

lovely modern lodge, had everything we needed and more. would recommend and definitely return again

Beautiful lodge, comfy beds and well equipped. Great location to explore the North Yorkshire coastline by car or walking. Loved the beaches at Runswick Bay and Saltburn. Excellent food at the nearby Runswick Bay Hotel.

This is our second stay at Puffin's Rest and we loved it just as much as the first. We love the spacious living area, the well equipped kitchen and lovely bedrooms. It's a great location for Runswick Beach frolics, ice cream and pub food and not too far away from Staithes and Whitby if you wanted to venture out. I'm sure we'll be back.

Fabulous lodge beautifully decorated & furnishings. Well equipped with everything you need.<br/>Stunning location at Runswick Bay only 10 min walk down to the gorgeous beach. The Royal pub in the village is great for food & a drink views are amazing. Great location for visiting nearby Whitby, staithes, Sandsend etc. Plenty to see and do and we will definitely be back.

Beautiful stay we felt right at home, everything clean and tidy with everything we needed. Super cosy and walkable to runswick bay and 15 min drive to Whitby. We will definitely be returning and recommending to friends and family.

Just got back from a wonderful stay at puffins rest. Highly recommend this fabulous accommodation in stunning Runswick bay. The beach and pubs in short walking distance and a fab base to explore the rest of the coast too.

Very nice. Good quality appliances. Everything catered for.

Beautiful cabin in a lovely complex, ideal for visiting Scarborough and Whitby. Perfect for family stays with everything you need. We had a great time!

Puffin’s Rest was a beautiful lodge decorated to the highest standard. It was the perfect winters break for our family - extremely cosy and a great location.<br/>The only minor point is the bedding was a little uncomfortable and check-in at 4pm and checkout at 10am eats into the stay quite a bit. Plus we felt the damage waiver should be included in the overall price as an extra fee was a little disappointing.<br/>Other than that we were really happy with the stay and would definitely return.

the perfect wintery stay! We stayed in December & it was perfect! Really cozy with the log fire and mini Christmas tree! The cabin had everything we needed for a mini get away and was really relaxing! Kinda felt like Cameron Diaz from the movie Holiday! Perfect location to beach & supermarkets and shops are 16mins away via car! We will deffo be staying again! The hosts made it feel like we were home, had everything sorted for us before we arrived! Only thing to change would be a flexible check out time in off peak seasons, so instead of it being 10am, it is between 10-12pm! But otherwise, perfect!

We absolutely loved our stay at Puffins Rest. The lodge was absolutely gorgeous. Clean, spacious, modern, had all the amenities we needed. The check in was quick and easy. The location was perfect, literally a 5 minute walks from Runswick Bay beach which is stunning. We couldn’t fault the stay and will be back for sure!

Great location and accommodation. The cabin is done to a high standard, we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely book again.

We had the most amazing stay in the most beautiful lodge, The Puffins Rest. It was immaculately clean, with beautiful interiors and the location was perfect for Runswick Bay. Highly recommended ?

Perfect holiday home. <br/>We loved it and will be booking again.

We loved our stay. The lodge is beautiful, modern, clean and much more spacious than the photos make it appear! It is very well equipped, and had some lovely little extras we weren't expecting, such as a fully stocked wood basket for the cosy real fire, books in the children's room, fresh milk in the fridge, and coffee pods for the espresso machine. Perfect location for coastal walks and gorgeous Runswick Bay. We will defintely be back!

We had a lovely stay at Puffin’s Rest and would definitely go back.

Extremely well equipped and beautifully presented. Great location for exploring the coast. Would recommend.

Great place and even more lovely in the flesh than pictures portrayed

Peaceful, idyllic, scenic area. Beautifully presented property with high specification appliances, furnishings and decor. Spacious, luxury accommodation; comfortable, clean and relaxing. Safe and quiet site with beach, tearoom and pub within walking distance.

Comfortable Luxury! <br/><br/>We have just spend a wonderful weekend at Puffins Rest. The property is situated in a holiday park at the top of the hill in Runswick, do not be put off by this it is quiet and has a 5 star feel. It feels as though the owners have gone the extra mile in tastefully decorating the puffins rest, the furniture was beautiful, the colour scheme…everything. The beds were soo comfortable, I had an amazing nights sleep. The accommodation has everything you need for a great holiday…etc. Would 100% stay again. <br/><br/>The only thing I can say that could be improved is that it would have been nice to have been left some coffee pods for the espresso machine, milk for a tea/coffee if you’ve had a long drive and also some toiletries, but not really any complaints other than that. Great place.

Overall it provided a very good location indeed leading to a very happy few days

fantastic stay!

Perfect house! We had a wonderful time beach hopping around the area.

Spotless, spacious, high-end lodge in a good location

5 star

A stunning lodge with everything you need for a perfect family getaway! Beautifully furnished and decorated and the wood burning stove was perfect for the cold evenings! The odd bit of sunshine was enjoyed on the lovely decking area or at the stunning beach which is a short walk away (prepare yourself for a steep hill climb on the way back up!) Perfect family getaway, highly recommend ?

We stayed at Puffin's Rest for a long weekend over Easter. We arrived to a beautiful, cosy and well equipped lodge. The decor and finishes felt super high end, we really felt that we had come somewhere special. Our kids were really excited by the cabin beds - and I especially liked the little touches of their own charging points for their devices! The master bedroom and lounge were especially luxurious, and the we had a great sun trap on the decking out front. The site itself also felt really safe, and we were able to enjoy a drink on the decking while our eldest raced up and down the road on her scooter. We loved being within walking distance to the beach, and the kids especially enjoyed not having to go in the car to places. Runswick beach is great for kids, and it felt safe enough to let them do some exploring. There's a little cafe down there (for obligatory ice cream!) and a couple of pubs within walking distance that we made use of for evening meals or a rest stop after walking back up from the bay. Within a short drive we found other beaches at Sandsend, and we took a road trip over to Grosmont to see the steam trains (the kids loved this especially) We finished our break feeling well rested, and with our new fav beach spot. We'll definitely be coming back! Thank you Puffin's Rest for the lovely stay :)
