Highly recommended
We stayed just for a week. It was a very nice and memorable stay for us. It was located right near the heart of Southampton, well-furnished and we did not feel any difficulty although we had a child of age ~3. The members of this Blue Puffin Stays were very cooperative. We are overwhelmed by their prompt for raising any query. Highly recommended for any kind of trip even travelling with kids.

The location worked well
The location worked well. It is within walking distance to the bus, coffee shops, restaurants, the theater and train. The flat was very clean and organized. It accommodated 3 people, it was a bit cozy, but comfortable.
I would recommend this flat.

We booked the 5 bed house in Widley Portsmouth. We had a great stay. There were a couple of minor issues which didn’t hinder our enjoyment ie broken tumble drier but as soon as we raised it they dropped an airier straight over. A really good company who are all about providing a great customer experience. Thank you

Perfect location.
I booked the accommodation in Cheltenham for our son and some of his blended family. It was an ideal location, well equipped and comfortable. The free parking was a real bonus.

Lovely stay in Gloucester
We had a great time at Blue Puffin Stays, in Gloucester, this Easter break; the house was superbly maintained, and very comfortable for our family of 5 adults and 2 kids. Comfortable bed rooms, well appointed kitchen and bathrooms. The kids really enjoyed playing all through the house, and it really made our entire trip hassle free, knowing that we had a reliable, clean, comfy house to come back to, after touring around the countryside. Loved our stay here, and would definitely plan on staying again, if we ever come across another Blue Puffin Stays, or whenever we return to Gloucester.

Lovely space at Portsmouth
I had a great long weekend at Kate’s house at Portsmouth. The space was clean, stylish in a quiet neighbourhood. Close to the sea and loads of nice food can be delivered to the house. The team was lovely. They are very friendly and easy to communicate. Highly recommend!

We highly recommend Blue Puffin Stays.
We really enjoyed our holiday at Tide Cottage. The house is conveniently placed in Southsea and is within walking distance of the D-Day museum.
The Blue Puffin team are excellent at responding to queries and we highly recommend them.

Beautiful modern decorated apartment - Spacious and Clean - A pleasure to stay with you
We stayed at a Blue Puffin apartment in Southampton. It looked great on the photo's and by booking direct we saved on the price offered on other sites. The apartment met all expectations, was clean, tidy and decorated really really nicely. We did have to collect the key from elsewhere but as we were driving into the City this wasn't a problem. In-depth instructions were emailed, and we were checked up on to ensure we were happy with our stay.
It was a great place to stay over the New Year weekend. Also little things such as the nice smelling shower products, and large selection of coffee pods, tea bags etc were much a much appreciated addition.

An amazing little gem
So we needed a break, had been unwell and needed to recoup. So we picked Portsmouth, not a million miles from home. I booked this lovely two bed house with parking, perfect with a teenager doing revision. We arrived on 23rd, found a Tesco extra, Aldi, Lidl, McDonald's and many other shops, walking distance from the house. The house was lovely and warm with constant hot water. There was a dishwasher, washing machine, microwave and great hob. A very large fridge freezer and lots of dishes including a wine opener and a grater, lots of dishes, a great selection of glasses and saucepans. A great home from home.

Great communication from hosts
Great communication from hosts. Lovely house, warm, everything you require. I stayed with my 2 boys who really enjoyed the space. Beds are comfy. Plenty of hot water. Kitchen crockery and utensils all catered for. Lovely village also, very quiet. Next to church but didn't notice the church bells. Will come again.

We stayed here with twin baby boys (2 years old) and what a great house and location?! It is such a nice house, in a super location and we will definitely come back to it. It had everything we needed and some and hosts couldn’t be more helpful.

5 stars
My partner & I stayed here with our 2 month old baby. Unfortunately we had to move out of our house for 2 weeks, following a bad leak. The hosts were very helpful, always available to answer any of our questions as we had to extend our stay a few times. The place itself was clean & tidy and very homely.

Great stay at Tides Cottage
Great stay at Tides Cottage, couple of little niggles which were sorted by the team straight away.
Cottage is beautifully decorated and really homely and clean - plenty of room for 4 adults 2 children and a dog.
Only gripe being the parking! but that is what it is.
