Verified review
We stayed at the Driftwood cottage and had our own small garden. The owner was very friendly and helpful. The place was clean and neat and had everything we needed. The bed was very comfortable. The WiFi was working well. It is value for money. We can definitely recommend this accommodation and will try and come back.
