    “Always wanted a holiday with a sea view.”

    Driftwood Cottage exceeded all our expectations, the Cottage is stunning through and through and the views are amazing all day long. Situated close to lots of fabulous places to visit. We feel privileged to have had the opportunity to stay here. Amy is brilliant, her attention to detail is second to none. We highly recommend this cottage, we don’t believe we could get the same wow factor for a very long time, if at all.
