“The cottage and location were brilliant!”

. A few minutes walk to a lovely cove which out of season allows dogs so a great start to the day. The cottage had everything you needed, lots of thoughtful extras, clearly the owner really cares and this was much appreciated. We had a superb week and a much needed rest.

“We thought that the location of Driftwood Cottage was particularly good having a very rural feel (with the beach and country walks right on the doorstep) but with all the facilities of St Austell less than 5 mins drive away.”

“Where the cottage was situated, the cottage was very well equipped with parking outside.”

Just what we were looking for, will certainly use this cottage again. Lovely coastal walks and great for exploring Cornwall. I thank the owners for letting us stay in their beautiful little cottage.

“Driftwood was gorgeous.”

Been there for the second at not for the last time. we were so much looking forward to it. it is so beautifullyy situated. Sea views!! As soon as we open the door we feel at home. So cosy. No problem if the weather is bad just settle down in front of the logburner. Everything we needed we did not want for anything. A lovely bathroom. The shower is excellent. Roll on the next stay!!!!

“I saw this cottage a while back and just had to stay there.”

When we arrived fresh flowers greeted us along with a welcoming clotted cream tea. The cottage was so cosy and had everything we could have wanted. It is set in a little hamlet a short walk from Porthpean beach and the coastal trail in both directions. It was lovely to walk to Charleston and sit basking in the autumn sun outside the pub there. Many other trips out were had. Will return to this little gem.

“A beautiful cottage with stunning views.”

A quiet place with a short walk to the beach. Would thoroughly recommend
Mr Bennett April 2019

“The cottage was very well appointed in a lovely quiet location with stunning walks across the fields nearby with breathtaking views over Porthpean beach and the surrounding coastline.”

The welcome pack of wine, flowers and a Cornish cream tea was a lovely touch. We would certainly visit again and stay in the same cottage as there are so many beaches and pretty fishing villages like Mevagissey, Charlestown and Fowey....pronounced Foy apparently....to explore in the area all the way down to the Lands End peninsular. A visit to the Minack theatre at Porthcurno is well worth the journey down the A30 just to see the stunning location and views. Thank you, Helen, for letting us stay in your beautiful cottage.

“The cottage was in a lovely position.”

It was cozy and warm and well equipped. The bed was comfy and it was great having a parking place. Brilliant cottage were my husband myself and the dog felt at home. Will revisit. X

“A great cottage close to the coastal path.”

Supermarkts closeby but not by foot (+/- 5 min by car). The village is small and very quiet, superb for people needing rest & tranquility like ourselves. The cottage itself is small but very comfortabele. There is a big tv for a relax watch after great walks.
Mr Collinson October 2018

“What a lovely cottage,really comfortable and warm.”

The cottage is located on a beautifull spot over looking the bay,and you get a lovely sun rise in the morning. Me and my wife along with our dog had a great week. Les & Lisa (norfolk)
Mrs Mulready October 2018

“Driftwood Cottage was exactly as described.”

We had a wonderful week, and found the cottage very comfortable and well-equipped. Reserved parking was a real boon. Every effort had been made to make us feel welcome. There was even a vase of fresh roses on the table! The cottage is close to many picturesque and interesting places to visit. The neighbours are really warm and friendly. We didn't want to leave!
Mr Hoffschildt August 2018

“Beautiful, really breathtaking surrounding.”

The coastal path starts right behind the cottage and the next beach is a 5 minutes walk. Beatiful view from the bedroom windows. Very quiet and very friendly neighbourhood. Ideal for a relaxing hideaway, ideal for families and dogs.
Miss Moore June 2018

“The cottage met with our expectations, it is well equipped and in a lovely location.”

We really enjoyed our holiday.
Mrs Scott April 2018

“The cottage sits in a lovely position with beautiful views.”

It is very cosy and comfortable. There was a delicious cream tea, wine and flowers which greeted us on our arrival which was a lovely touch. The only thing I think I would say is that the stairs are quite steep with narrow treads which would only really bother elderly or infirm guests. Otherwise everything was perfect. I appreciated the easy parking outside and the cottage was a good base for visiting all the local attractions. We had a wonderful time.
