  • "Truly amazing transformation of Driftwood Cottage, although was fabulous before renovations it is now more outstanding than ever."

    Nothing has been overlooked or forgotten to ensure a 5 star luxurious stay. This beautiful cottage caters to all your needs in an idyllic, beautiful setting where you can relax and enjoy a retreat away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, yet is still within reach of leisure facilities. We were so pleased that you accommodated our dogs too, they just loved access to the beach walks.Driftwood Cottage is a really magical place to stay, a hidden gem. We hope to be back again soon.
