Driftwood was a lovely place to stay. Accommodation was very spacious, kitchen was well equipped, lovely secluded garden. Had everything you would need for a holiday and more. Places we visited were easy to get to. Lovely views with Port Isaac a short walk away. Not to be missed. Elizabeth the owner was a great host. I would definitely stay here again.
