"We had a lovely stay and would definitely recommend Driftwood Cottage, the location is ideal if you want some peace and quiet."
Few small points to note, the local pub that was recommended is actually permanently closed, there were only small drinking glasses so we had to go out and buy pint glasses, also salt was required for the dishwasher.
Thank you so much for your feedback Alyson. I am so sorry that the guest book had not been updated, I’ll make sure that is done at the next opportunity. For future guests, there is another lovely pub in the village (Farmer’s Arms) a 10 minute walk from the property. Apologies that the glasses were not sufficient, and although I do ask the cleaners to check the salt in the dishwasher, this is not always checked on every clean. I will make sure some is put under the sink for the future. All the best, Amy Property Owner
