Driftwood Cottage is a great cottage to have a relaxing holiday. The downstairs is lovely and bright and open planned with a great view down to the sea. The cottage is within a great location, and for walkers it is a stone throw away from the coast path which is amazing. I would definitely recommend this cottage. We did not use the car for a weekRead more we did lots of walking and there was lots of variety. Hide

Always a pleasant surprise when the property turns out to be as attractive as the website photos and in this case, the sunsets were even better than the pictures.

Driftwood cottage was wonderful - the views and walks from the cottage are stunning. There was so much to do in the area. We had the most perfect week as a family of 4 plus our dog. We would not hesitate to recommend this cottage, or to stay again.

This cottage is a calm, peaceful, perfect retreat for anyone and everyone. Park your car in the allocated spot and chill. Or walk. Or read. Or sit outside with a glass of something. Or walk over the hill to Woolacombe. Or go to either of the local pubs, or Mrs Feas for some great food. Comfortable beds. Great shower. A beautiful slice of heaven thaRead moret ticked all our boxes. Hide

Lovely house, exceptionally clean and well equipped. Set close to the top of quite a steep hill, two minutes walk from hub of the village where there are pubs, tearoom, bistro and very good takeaways. The coast path is literally across the road with spectacular views over the bay. Many walks around so doggy heaven. Excellent holiday base.
