Wonderful house. Spread over 3 floors its ideal for families with grandparents who can use the bedroom and bathroom downstairs. The newly fitted kitchen is a dream. The brand new crockery and cutlery is an added bonus. Comfortable lounge with new sofas is perfect to sit in in the evening if its too chilly to sit out on the decking or the upper deckRead moreing . Really is the perfect family house for a holiday. 3 bathrooms all with showers and a bath in the family bathroom is ideal for bathing children. I would say this house is perfect and I cant think of anything that it needs to be improved Hide

Excellent location with easy walking distance to the shaldon estuary. A real suntrap of a garden which was lovely to spend time in on a night. The parking was difficult for us as we had two cars. The carport was good for the first one but it was a bit of a nightmare finding a space for the second one every day.

Driftwood was a very well equipped holiday house. Our family, ages from 6 to 80, all enjoyed our time there. Shaldon is a lovely village, and the house is close to the centre, where there is a good village store, and great cafes and pubs. The beach is close by, and the ferry to Teignmouth.

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 grRead moreeat stay in this part of Devon. Hide

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 Read morewe were very happy with the stay and would love to come back another time! Hide
