The accommodation is situated near to the diving centre and guests are asked to respect the working environment and safety aspects by NOT accessing signed areas for the exclusive training taking place.
No fishing from the Puffin site (or crabbing) as the divers get irritated by hooks that get snagged and we have some tame octopi, lobster and so on. Occasional seals often put in an appearance as well. (we can give you other locations to fish)Please respect the balance of wildlife in the area. Over the years we have built good relationships with the deer often visible in the early mornings from the accommodation, The otter family, usually seen at dawn or dusk swimming in the bay, Duck families, when breeding, Puffins two working cats, Boris, the hooded crow, and many birds and wildlife. The trust these creatures have allowing our guests to see them can easily be lost by careless dog control or disrespectful behaviour to their habitats. Visitors coming to the countryside are very welcome and respectfully asked to enjoy our location and leave it for others to see as well.
