Another stay at driftwood cottage

Just returned from a lovely 11 night stay at driftwood cottage, superb location, lovely cottage, could do with some talc, some wallpaper coming off the ceiling, the double bed is really uncomfortable, only a thin mattress , we couldn’t sleep on it, the cleanliness in the cottage was overall clean but the floor in the living room was filthy. All in all a lovely cottage.

Month of bliss by the beach

We had the most wonderful 4-week stay at this lovely cottage! It was an absolute delight - well-equipped, incredibly comfortable, and just steps away from the beautiful beach. I can't recommend it enough!

Perfect peaceful stay

We had the most wonderful few days staying at Driftwood cottage, such a beautiful cosy home away from home. The house had everything we needed, and there were even some lovely welcome goodies on arrival. Was lovely to be right on the beach, the view from the master bedroom was stunning to wake up to every morning. A blissful stay. Hopefully will return in future!

Perfect for getting away from it all

A place to relax, look at the sea and watch the world go by. The front of the property is on a bus route but once you are inside the cottage and when sitting outside overlooking the sea it is peaceful. Very well equipped for all your needs.

Family stay

Amazing cottage right by the sea. Stayed for three nights with my children and mum. It was a dream to be able to sit in the garden right next to the beach while the children played in the beach like it was their own private garden. The house had everything we could need down to blankets and beach towels. It was very comfortable and homely. Only slight issue is the bathroom door was very hard to open once closed maybe something to look into.

Two nights at Driftwood

Gorgeous location, breathtaking views! Driftwood is a really lovely cottage, very cute! The house needed a little maintenance and was expensive for what it was, arrived at 2.30 on Wednesday and had to be out by 10.30 Friday. For what we paid , it felt rushed. I think I expected more as we paid a lot.

Seaside Heaven

We have had a superb weekend on the seafront at Driftwood Cottage and feel as though we've been away for a week! The cottage is really beautiful and very well equipped. We were greeted by some lovely goodies including a bottle of bubbly to celebrate our arrival. We absolutely loved morning coffee on the little terrace / sea wall looking out to sea, after an early morning swim. The location is perfect - a lovely 45 minute walk along the seafront in to Folkestone one way and a similar distance to Hythe the other. Lots to do and enjoy but equally, we would have been happy to spend time at the cottage enjoying the sunset. Thoroughly recommend - we have stayed at Driftwood twice now and will definitely be back again!

Perfect Honeymoon Getaway

The cottage was easy to find as it is in Sandgate High Street. We don't drive so having the bus stop right in front of the cottage was a great convenience. The place was pristine and had all the amenities you need for a beach stay. The beds were a great size and very comfortable. You can even hear the ocean's waves from the master's bedroom which was lovely. The beach is right outside the cottage and it's in a perfect location between Hythe and Folkestone, both within walking distance. A lot of great sights and restaurants/cafes to stop by while walking. We had a lovely time and couldn't imagine spending our honeymoon anywhere else. We could not recommend it enough! We will surely come back again.

2 days at Driftwood

We really enjoyed our stay. Having the sea on the doorstep was a real draw for us and it didn't disappoint in terms of morning and evening dips, drinks with the setting sun and walks along the beach. We also really appreciated the flexibility shown by the owner. Our journey to the property was quicker than anticipated and she was happy for us to check in about an hour before the formal time. Similarly, we were allowed to check out in the early afternoon, because there was no booking following us. This was just great news and really added to the quality of our stay.

Stunning on the seashore cottage

We had an amazing time at the Driftwood cottages. Very good communication from the owners. The decor is beautiful and immediately as you walk in you can see the sea from the kitchen and living room windows. In fact, every room has a sea view, even upstairs in the bathroom and master bedroom. The cottages were immaculate and a welcome goodie bag was left which was a wonderful surprise. We will be back again 100%

A very pleasant stay

We had a very good relaxing stay. The cottage is charming and right on the beach and the neighbourhood is very friendly and welcoming. The parking can be a bit tricky on nice days when lots of people come to the beach.
