Really lovely and comfortable holiday accommodation with great use of outside space.
Really lovely and comfortable holiday accommodation with great use of outside space. The cottage had nearly everything we like for a holiday stay - just missing equipment to keep the place clean whilst staying there - I'm beyond the age where I want to be on hands and knees with a dustpan and brush sweeping up sand, but at least it did the job! A dustpan and brush with long handles would be ideal. Fantastic water pressure in the shower. I didn't like all the spider webs everywhere however, I suspect that you can't see them unless you stay in the cottage then you notice them as the light changes etc. The host (who lives next to Driftwood) and the welcome package were both outstanding - thank you.
