This cottage is very clean, spacious and just beautiful, it has everything you need for your stay. The views are absolutely amazing, only about 15 steps till you are on the beach! Great view of the golf course. Hotel and the 19th hole bar are a couple of minutes walk. Paul and Linda, the owners are a lovely couple! Would highly recommend this cottage!

After a very exhausting Christmas & New year due to flu we decided a few days away were needed. We didn’t want to drive far and we also needed dog friendly. We googled(as you do) We found Driftwood Wow this looks good Long story short We booked for a few nights I was impressed that the owners got in touch just after booking to give us more info We arrived and I was truly overwhelmed at how fantastic the house and views were I truly believe the pics on website do not do this holiday home justice. The owners came minutes after we arrived What a lovely couple and they were so helpful and kind. The holiday home is amazing and so warm & cozy The beach on the doorstep The views Everything you could possibly need in the house Most people want a summer break by the sea , which I would say would be fantastic at driftwood But if a cozy few nights listening to waves crashing outside while chilling in your jammies in front of a log fire sounds good this is the place to be Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

What a perfect place to celebrate 2 birthdays and New Year for our extended family of nine people.

What a perfect place to celebrate 2 birthdays and New Year for our extended family of nine people. The house is perfectly situated on the beach with views over the sand, sea and sky and local golf course. The house is spacious with room for everyone to find their own space and Linda and Paul have thought of everything for a warm personal welcome and perfect stay. The house is immaculately clean, warm and cosy with large and comfy beds and 3 bathrooms. The access to the beach through a small gate makes it perfect for dog walkers. The kitchen is well equipped and there is constantly hot water. There is excellent WiFi and plenty of games, videos and books should there be bad weather. The house is accessible for those with limited mobility though this obviously depends on individual needs. It also caters for the needs of small children. The peace and quiet of this house is perfect and Linda and Paul are very considerate hosts. Thank you very much. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo
