'Driftwood' Padstow
Lovely, well equipped self-catering apartment. Enjoyed having this as our base for the two weeks. Definitely go back. Neil very pleasant owner, who was on hand if needed anything. 5 minute walk to harbour, shops pubs and restaurants with short cut through an interesting grave yard. Bit difficult if you have mobility difficulties. Would definitely recommend the 'Driftwood' apartment. Thank you Neil.

Perfect stay in Padstow
Excellent base for a couple in a quiet part of Padstow, but only a short walk to the harbour. With lovely decor and comfort key, the privacy was also welcome. Neil the owner was friendly, informative and at hand if needed. Can't wait to go again!

A great place to stay
We were well looked after and Driftwood is a lovely place to stay. Only a few minutes walk into Padstow central. Yes, we would recommend.

Excellent accommodation, great location
Accommodation was spotless and was equipped with everything you might need and more! Extra touches like prosecco & scones on arrival was a lovely welcome. Padstow harbour less than a 5 minute walk away - what more could you want.

Very comfortable well equipped within a short walk to the harbour.
The cottage is in an ideal location and has everything you need for your stay here. The owner Neil B and his wife (who live just behind the cottage) are great hosts and will do anything to ensure you enjoy your stay. Neil even printed off our boarding cards for our return flights and also provided a transfer to the airport. Padstow itself is a lovely small harbour town with plenty bars and restaurants to suit all tastes. We ate in two of Rick Steins restaurants and really enjoyed the food. Unfortunately we chose the wrong week to visit as it was so so busy plus EVERYONE takes their dogs there as it is "dog friendly". I don't think we have ever seen so many dogs ( one St Bernard's was bigger than me which freaked me out a bit). If you do visit Padstow we would definitely recommend you stay in Driftwood cottage as it is really clean comfortable and has everything you need,

Charming, comfortable little apartment.
Perfectly situated in a quiet property within easy walking distance of the shops, restaurants and harbour, Driftwood is a delightful little haven to escape from the madding crowd.

Excellent property in a great location.
Driftwood is in a great location, only about five minutes walk down to the harbour but far enough away from the holiday crowds to be quiet and relaxing. Having an allocated parking space is a great advantage, and quite a rare thing in Padstow. We needed a pet free property and we were very pleased to find this one, in a town which otherwise seems to have become almost excessively dog friendly. The kitchen area and bathroom were well fitted out and equipped, although we did not really do any cooking because one of our main objectives was to try out some of Padstow's excellent restaurants and the nearby farm shop, where we bought good local cheeses, pates and salad. Driftwood was an ideal property for the quiet relaxing break we wanted.
