Guests say

Driftwood Premier Sea View Cabin receives high praise for its stunning sea views, peaceful location, and relaxing atmosphere. Guests particularly enjoy the hot tub and proximity to Hele Bay beach, making it ideal for a tranquil getaway. The cabins are described as cosy and well-equipped for short stays, with many guests noting the cleanliness and helpful staff. While some mention minor maintenance issues and compact spaces, these do not detract from the overall positive experience. The property is highly recommended for couples seeking a scenic and restful retreat.

Most guests found the cabins clean and tidy, with only occasional minor issues such as dust or slow-draining sinks. Cleanliness is consistently highlighted as a strong point, though a few reviews mention areas that could benefit from a deeper clean or refurbishment.

The location is universally praised for its breathtaking sea views, direct beach access, and tranquil setting. Guests love the proximity to Hele Bay and Ilfracombe, making it a standout feature of the property.

The cabins are described as cosy and comfortable, perfect for couples or solo travellers. While compact, they are well-designed for short stays. Some guests note the lack of wardrobe space and small beds, but overall comfort remains high.

Facilities such as the hot tub, kitchenette, and parking are appreciated by guests. Some mention minor maintenance issues (e.g., oven not working, slow sink, need for refurbishment), but these are generally outweighed by the positives.

There are no specific mentions of welcome gifts or extra thoughtful touches in the reviews, so a score cannot be provided for this category.

We’ve been advised by the National Grid that there is a planned power outage scheduled for Tuesday, 4th November 2025, from 08:30 to 17:00.

We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding and patience during this time.Thank you again for your understanding.

Dear guests

We're writing to let you know about a scheduled power outage at Beach cove Coastal resort on Tuesday 24th March 2026, between 9:00am and 4:30pm. This is due to essential infrastructure upgrades being carried out by the National Grid in the local area and, despite our best efforts, the timing is unfortunately outside of our control.

Reception will remain open throughout, though our electronic systems will be offline during this period.

A few things worth doing before the outage begins:

Charge phones, tablets and laptops ahead of time

Prepare any hot drinks or snacks you might need during the day

The silver lining? It's a brilliant excuse for a day out.

Ilfracombe and the North Devon coast have plenty on offer — here are a few ideas to make the most of the day:

Tunnels Beaches — Victorian hand-carved tunnels leading to sheltered tidal pools. Genuinely unique.

The Harbour & Verity — wander the quayside and see Damien Hirst's iconic 66ft statue up close.

South West Coast Path — dramatic cliff walks with stunning views back over Ilfracombe.

Watermouth Castle — rides, a maze and dungeon labyrinths, great for families.

Combe Martin Wildlife & Dinosaur Park — another cracking family day out just up the road.

Clovelly — one of Devon's most picture-perfect villages, well worth the short drive.

We'd recommend heading out after breakfast and making a proper day of it — you'll be back well in time for the evening with plenty of stories to tell.

We're sorry for any inconvenience this causes and hope it doesn't take the shine off what should be a fantastic break. If you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to get in touch — our team is on hand to help.
Warm regards, Hoseasons

    Comfy cabin. Just right for a weekend. Loved the seaviews

  • Kat

    Spent a lovely four nights mid-week in September at the Beach Cove Coastal Retreat, in the Driftwood Premier Cabin with Sea viewThe location - absolutely perfect, the view out of the cabin beautiful and just a two minute walk to the beach. The cabin itself - is cosy, perfect for two and a medium sized dog for four nights. Worth taking a look at the photos beforehand and planning luggage accordingly - we had a suitcase which we shared, which slid under the bed for example. The kitchenette was small but adequate for a few simple meals. The hot tub was lovely - overlooking the sea view, was worth the extra money for us. The site itself - quiet and relaxing. The staff were very welcoming on arrival and departure - we didn't need anything during the stay itself. The only critique - the cabin is showing some signs of wear and would benefit from a bit of tlc. The cabin was clean, but is ready for a lick of paint - and some clean grout and sealant in the bathroom. But the crucial thing for us is cleanliness and it didn't fault on this. Would absolutely return - in fact, have already booked to return next July!
