Driftwood cottage is such a lovely place to stay. It is really well set up and during our Autumn visit we definitely appreciated the underfloor heating and the wood-burner. Great views from the upper decking though sadly the weather wasn't good enough for us to linger up there for too long. The Welcome goodies were appreciated as was all the advice we were given about places to eat and visit. Location-wise, Driftwood's position near Porth beach (literally less than a minute's walk) is fantastic. There are scenic walks North straight from the beach and to the South you can walk straight into Newquay and then venture onwards to more rugged and less developed views. Further afield there is so much to see and do in the area.
