Great Stay at Driftwood Cottage
We had such a lovely stay at Driftwood Cottage. The hosts were very accommodating when we wanted to check in early. The cottage was perfect and immaculate. We enjoyed the sun in the back garden and the cottage is walking distance to the beach front and shops. The cottage is equipped with everything and couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. Thank you so much x

Very enjoyable
We were very pleased with the location and the quietness of the cottage. It was as described. We didn't use the cooking facilities, but it did seem to have everything that would be necessary to cook for a family. Plenty of fluffy towels and kitchen and bathroom products. Ventnor has many good foody restaurants (booking required for some). There are also more traditional family eateries in and around the town. Plenty of places to visit for both adults and children.

Perfect Home for a Break
We loved Driftwood for our break. Lovely quite street and easy peasy access to beach, town and bus stops. We stayed for the IOW festival but managed a swim each morning. Really enjoyed our home and garden and love to return for a non festival break. Thoroughly recommend. And we loved our surprise goodies and fluffy big towels too!!! Thank you so much.
