Mrs Heaton
We had a lovely week at Driftwood cottage it has all you need for a perfect stay. The position makes it in easy reach of many places to visit we loved the boat ride across to Teignmouth saved having to drive and park. Plenty of pubs and shops within walking distance and a great fish and chip shop down the road. Would recommend this cottage for a great stay in this part of Devon.

We had a fabulous stay at Driftwood Cottage. We were 8 people traveling and were very comfortable there. Equipment was ok, but recommend new mattresses in one of the twin rooms - they were only really suitable for young kids, not adults/teenagers. We would have liked additional baking trays etc for the oven when cooking for so many people. Overall we were very happy with the stay and would love to come back another time!
