Very well equipped accommodation. Host responded immediately when we experienced a problem with the TV and another was delivered and set up that same morning. Lovely base for exploring the local area and beaches. Stayed at Seaglass last year which is also owned by the people who rent out Driftwood and both were fabulous places. Would definitely recommend.

Only negatives were: WiFi speed was very poor. Water pressure was too low. Not enough hot water for four people to have a shower in the mornings.
