Finest Retreats - Driftwood

Wundervoll Gerne wieder!

Great location near to sea

The location was amazing.

The cleanliness, the damp smell throughout the whole cabin. It was very very cold inside. Considering the forecast was freezing temperatures there were no extra heaters. The electric fire broke so we requested more heaters. One was delivered for two bedrooms and one living area. The photographs of the fire are fake. In the photographs wooden logs have been placed inside the fire to make you think the fire is a log burner. It isn’t it’s electric. The sofa cushions, rug, throw, sofa, chair are so old and don’t feel clean at all. The frying pans are burnt and stained. It certainly isn’t a 4 star finest retreat as advertised.

This retreat was an absolute pleasure to stay at. The views we woke up to everyday was stunning and we were lucky enough to have beautiful weather. We were met with a cosy, looked after cabin with really clear instructions on everything and how it worked. The only issue we came across was the WiFi but the host was pro-active in fixing it but was not a problem as we could then enjoy the weather and other facilities! We had an absolute blast and hope to return again.

Location, views, great beach walks.

Need to change their cleaning company, minimal cleaning products & equipment available, vacuum ineffective, meaning house is on wrong side of acceptable standard. On arrival found dishwasher full of dirty dishes. Crockery & cutlery in cupboards were sticky & dirty. On first night, we were woken up by a mouse in the bedroom. When the wind speed is over 30 knots, the house is filled with bangs, knocks & rattles that prevent any sleep at night & not even closing all the shutters helps. The photograph of the fireplace looks like a log burner, but it is in fact an electric fan heater that is sadly ineffective against the coastal winds. Great concept, but sadly lacking in execution.

The view, the quiet very comfortable accommodation. But mainly the view

The accommodation was a bit chilly on arrival but it was December it soon warmed up and was very cosy.
