• "Could do woth some simplified instructions for the cooker and the recycling!"

  ! Only real downside to the property was the wifi connection. Everything else was great and a credit to te owner and the housekeeper.

  Thanks for your 5 star review and helpful comments. We acknowledge the mobile wifi did struggle at times. Fortunately, full fibre broadband has just been installed in the village and we are now connected which is excellent news. We hope to welcome you back at some point to take advantage of this.

• "This is a areally attractive property inside in particular - lovely seaside/beach themed inside and coordinating colours which I always like."

  The cottage is small but the kitchen and bathroom is a good size relatively speaking. The kitchen is brand new. The garden area is very small but very private and concealed from gardens on either side. Fortunately there was no noise or music etc to be annoying whilst sitting out. The beds are very comfortable and it was helpful to have a washbasin in the double room. Wifi reception reasonable, but a day or two when it was very poor, but I know that is not in the control of the owners of course. There were a few games and books - would have liked more books to browse but I know space was limited for such things. A couple of minor issues - it would be good to have another height warning as in the bathroom and kitchen, halfway up the stairs! Especially as not always fully with it on going down to the bathroom in the middle of the night! Also the key box is in such an awkward place in the porch - quite difficult to get at - dont know the reason for that. All in all, excellent though and was as described.

  Thank you. We are happy to hear you found the cottage to be accurately described and excellent overall. Property Owner

• "Lovely cottage with plenty of space for a couple or small family."

  Great kitchen with everything you need to hand, good shower and comfortable beds with lovely bed linen. What more could you want? Good size dining room if you choose to eat in and plenty of space outside to eat if the weather is clement. Friendly local pub within three minutes walk - not cordon bleu food but pie and chips style with some veggie options. Other options within a short drive. Great location with easy access to many popular small towns/villages. Thanks for having us!

  Thank you - it made our day to read your 5 star review! We are committed to providing the best possible experience for our guests and your feedback is a great encouragement. We're so pleased you enjoyed your holiday. Property Owner

• "It is a nice little cottage with all we need, but not useable for large people."

  The floor and electrics are a bit older. Toilet flush very noisy. But its a good start to many touristic locations.

  Thank you for your feedback. We were pleased you agree with other guests that Driftwood Cottage is very well equipped and perfectly situated to visit many of the South West's tourist destinations, including Lands End, St. Michael's Mount & St. Ives. The property is also very well positioned to explore many of the beautiful and less visited hidden gems which this unique part of the UK has to offer. As a 19th Century tin miner's cottage, much of the original flooring has been retained, such as the boards in the bedrooms, in order to add character. It is worth mentioning too, that the kitchen floor was replaced last year. We are unsure about your comments regarding the electrics which are tested regularly. Being solid granite, the cottage walls and the ceilings with exposed timbers result in cables being surface mounted in places. Sadly this is unavoidable. You comment that the cottage is 'not usable for large people'. As clearly noted on the website, in two places there are lower door heights which may be an issue for tall people. Signs in the cottage alert people to this. The property was a tin miner's cottage and by its very nature is modest in size. Driftwood Cottage reflects its interesting origins which many guests of all sizes have found to be part of its charm. We hope this is helpful. Property Owner

• "We loved our weeks stay Driftwood Cottage, its a lovely light airy but yet cosy place."

  The cottage is small but for a holiday let its perfect and has everything you need, its clean and decorated to a lovely standard. The beds are comfortable and come with lovely duvets, although quite heavy for the summer months and there is plenty of storage space for clothes etc. We were welcomed with a bottle of Rose, some biscuits, tea and fresh milk in the fridge which was very much needed after our 6 hour drive from Sussex. My husband even made friends with the neighbours who kept giving us fresh cucumbers from his garden which tasted delicious. The parking also helped as we have a WV T5 and to have a space which was not only big enough but right out side the house always helps with tired children and shopping bags! The garden has a small area you can sit and enjoy a glass of wine or your morning coffee in the sun, my own quibble is the plants/bushes could do with a cut back so the lawn is more accessible for the children to play but this would not stop me returning. We look forward to returning one day

  and flowers, the cottage was very clean and comfortable with everything we needed. MY two adult children would comment that the beds both doubles and singles were not that comfortable. I am in agreement with this comment. I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THE COTTAGE WAS VERY CLEAN AND COMFORTABLE WITH BEAUTIFUL DECOR. I would also say it was in a great position to visit lots of places. The owners are clearly very organised as they left clear guidelines and helpful hints for visiting places. We thank you and would very much recommend the cottage in one of the most beautiful parts of the country.

  Good location to explore the surrounding areas including harbours, beaches and coastal walks The cottage was well kitted out to prepare meals.
