What our customers say about their holidays

  The place is amazing with top rated fittings in the kitchen and bathrooms.

  Plenty of space for 10 people. We were in the downstairs bedroom where the bed was extremely comfortable with lovely soft bedding. The curtains kept out the light which meant we weren't woken up early. The towels and robes provided for hot tub use were an unexpected benefit. There was plenty of fridge space for the occupancy and the kitchen was full of useful electrical equipment. We had a great time there and it was good to find somewhere where the whole family of 10, 3 generations, could all get together. A couple of points, the patio and bbq were close to next door and when we used the bbq the smoke was blown straight into the neighbours windows, which they quickly closed. Also, with the patio being so close to the boundary, it was understandable that the neighbours, who needed to work didn't like the evening conversation from people on holiday keeping them awake, even though we were only talking and not behaving raucously. They would have been better placed on the other side of the garden. Also, as we were in the downstairs bedroom we used the shower room across the hall. This would have benefitted from hooks or towel holders for the hand towel and bath towels and robes. The only place to put clothes and towels was on the toilet seat. There was also no bath mat and we had to use the hand towel on the floor. There was no hairdryer in the property. We didn't take one as I've never been anywhere where one wasn't provided. If you don't want to provide any, you could make it obvious on the web sites that you need to take your own. All in all, a great place and would highly recommend. Pete & Rosie, Claire's parents.

  We were absolutely blown away by Driftwood when we visited for New Year. The property is modern and bright, with so many little extras to make the stay feel special. We were greeted by beautiful Christmas lights and decor and a surprise hamper, which was so thoughtful. The kitchen is extremely well equipped and the living area is second to none we have stayed in. The bedrooms are comfortable and the property was spotlessly clean. The games room and hot tub kept our children entertained, as well as the ability to watch films on the large tv using our own streaming accounts. The property location is ideally situated a short and pleasant walk from Instow beach, which we visited most days, and we had a lovely meal at the Instow arms which had been recommended. The property is also a great base to explore the local area, which has so much to offer. Some of our party went out for long runs, and enjoyed the various route options and scenery. All in all we would thoroughly recommend Driftwood, and hosts Charlotte and Mark. We are already looking to book again! Thank you!

  Driftwood was a beautiful experience, the house is really well equipped inside and out - even in January we enjoyed the garden, and the games room was a lovely addition. Charlotte and Mark have clearly put a lot of thought and love into the house and it was a really welcoming. The kitchen ware is fitted out to a really high standard, the open plan layout is very social and enabled us to both really enjoy our time together and have space to do our own thing. It was just a short and pleasant walk to Instow Beach, although the view from the hot tub and garden were so nice it was a wrench to leave the house. We would certainly return next time we are in the area.

  The house was gorgeous however a couple of things let it down: 1.

  Spotted in previous feedback, sliding wardrobe doors in x2 bedrooms still broken 2.Although the smoke alarm base is in place on the ceiling, it isn’t working as the main components have been removed 3.Previous Sykes properties we’ve stayed in have provided a folder with various info on using equipment in the property, waste/recycling etc. but couldn’t locate a folder in this one? 4.It would be helpful if hooks could be installed by the hot tub to hang towels/robes. Thanks
