The Driftwood Lodge was fantastic! Very well stockedand we loved the wildlife - squirrels, badgers, birds - made it really special for our family of four.

Emma R.

We had a lovely stay at Driftwood Lodge. The place is really cosy and super comfortable, with everything we needed. The hot tub was a highlight - so relaxing and well kept. We enjoyed quick trips to nearby coastal villages for walks and some good pub food. The Deer Park Safari next door is definitely worth a visit and great value for money. Our favourite meal was at the Steamboat Inn. The owners were really helpful and even left us a thoughtful welcome pack. Overall, a great break!

Absolutely loved the cabin! It's even better in real life-so cosy, modernand spacious. The hot tub was perfect after a day exploring. The area's peaceful, with a huge beach nearby. The Beagle pub served great food, just a minute's walk away. We had a fantastic time!
