Driftwood Cottage is a delightfully appointed property with stunning sea views, just 5 minutes walk from the centre of Mortehoe, where there are 2 pubs, a post office, several eating places and a lot of history! Beautiful coastal walks can be enjoyed straight from the front gate and the gorgeous beaches of Woolacombe, Combesgate, Grunta and BarricaRead morene are nearby, easily walked to if you're active or a five minute drive if not. It's a great base for exploring the North Devon coastal area. The cottage is very clean and tastefully decorated with quality, comfortable furniture and a spacious en-suite and bathroom. Thoughtful touches abound and the owner provided a generous welcome pack. We have visited Mortehoe for many years and stayed in many different properties but Driftwood is our favourite so far. A real home from home. You won't be disappointed. Hide

We had the most wonderful stay at the lovely Driftwood cottage. Its a very cosy, homely cottage which is very well equipped with stunning views! The pressure of the shower in the en suite is phenomenal! Kathy, the owner, was very communicative and helpful! Would highly recommend Driftwood and would love to visit again!

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.
