Fabulous location for a Cornish beach holiday as Driftwood is within yards of the wonderful surf and golden sands of Porthtowan Beach.

A really good location

We stayed here for a week and we couldn't be happier. The cottage does show some minimal wear and tear but nothing that presents as a problem. The property was completely functional for our needs - well equipped for cooking and a short walk to the sea (literally a minute away!!). We will definitely be coming back to stay!

This is the 2nd time we have have stayed at Driftwood albeit it several years apart. The location is great - just a minutes walk to the beach but it is beginning to feel a bit tired. The flooring could do with updating - carpets maybe need new underlay and the lounge flooring is showing a fair bit of wear. One thing that was a real pain was the bathroom Velux window has no privacy glass - it wouldn't take much effort to add some privacy film - I ended up taping together some news paper to put on it. Also there were no keys for the downstairs windows so we couldn't lock them for security. Another bug bear was that there was no key for the front door - just the back door. The cleaner had a key for the front door but it was not available for the tenants. There were cobwebs in the corners of the Velux windows which was a bit of putting but on the whole a nice place to stay. A washing/drying line in the garden would be very handy too as the clothes horse inside is too small for much to be hung on it and the rails on the radiators are just too low - had to hang towels over the doors. As they say on the TV - location location location!

Literally 2 minutes walk to beach, with a view of the surf from the main bedroom. Well equipped kitchen for preparing food to eat outside on the picnic bench in the back garden. Nice and private. Bar and pub a less than 5 minutes walk away.
We would definitely come back for another stay.
