  Overall, a lovely and quaint cottage - just need to mind your head in a few places if fairly tall!

  !! Well situated for the local shops and visiting the surrounding area - ideal location. Great to have a fully enclosed garden for the dog as well. One down side we have to mention was the cleanliness of the food waste bins. On arrival there was an off smell in the kitchen which we found was coming from the grey food bin under the kitchen sink - it hadn't been emptied and the food inside was mouldy. Took it outside to put in the green food waste bin to find flies milling around the lid and when opened the bin was full of food waste and the smell was horrendous so this hadn't been emptied either! We took the both bins and emptied them into the black waste wheelie bin at the bottom of the garden but left the green bin there as it was disgusting inside. The grey bin we took back and cleaned it out. Surprised the bins are not checked by the cleaners because this is a health hazard. We put the waste bins out (including the recycling) for Thursday as per the cottage information instructions; the black bin was emptied but the recycling wasn't collected - perhaps the information needs to be updated as there is no mention of putting the food waste bin out at all which is why we found the bins in the state they were?

  Lovely cottage owned by lovely people.

  Everything we needed for a family of 6 to feel like a home away from home. Great amenities on the doorstep whilst still feeling like a seculded peaceful cottage. Charleston harbour is beautiful, with a great selection of pubs, restaurants and cafes. It’s only a 10 minute walk from the cottage and makes a great evening out. The famous Par market is a short 5 min drive and is attached to a large indoor play area, covered mini golf and outdoor play park with is great for any rainy days. The cottage has a well equipped kitchen, cosy living room with smart tv and log burner, comfortable beds and a great shower. We wouldn’t hesitate to book the property again

  We had a great stay at Driftwood.

  Great location. Comfy beds. The sofas were excellent. Kitchen was well equipped. Lovely and warm. Nicely appointed bathroom. I would thoroughly recommend and would happily stay there again. Just a few minor caveats. If you're of limited mobility you will struggle with the stairs into the bathroom. The WiFi is very basic and if you've got multiple people using it you could struggle. The TV is quite old school and not SMART so we couldn't stream from our phones. I'm well over six feet and the doorways were quite low but I soon got used to ducking! But these are just very minor issues and we had a great stay overall.

  Absolutely loved this cottage, it was cosy but had everything we could have wished for.

  Small but very well equipped kitchen. Good sized living room with dining area. Bathroom spotlessly clean with generous walk I shower and bath. Super view from both bedrooms, I was in the second room with comfy single bed. We enjoyed sitting outside on the front seat in the morning sunshine. Good location for Eden Project and the Lost Gardens, which were both well worth visiting. The cottage is tastefully decorated throughout. The small clean beach is a short walk down a very steep hill, but you could take the car to the paying car park at the bottom .

  This was our 4th stay at Driftwood Cottage, it’s becoming a cosy home from home.

  Everything we could possibly need, very well equipped & comfortable. Wonderful sea views & dawn chorus - great view of sunrise too! Major Supermarkets & petrol stations close by. Walking distance to the beach - which is gentler if you walk through the field (sometimes has sheep/lambs/cows in it) & along coast path rather than the steep road. Nice walk along to Duporth beach - we had it all to ourselves! Still finding new places to explore - this cottage is a great base - and a guaranteed parking space is invaluable. Thank you!
