Superb accommodation in a perfect location for roaming freely with Maggie the Spaniel. For the fit everything is on your doorstep. For those not so mobile just sit back and admire the views. 5 star
We found the chalet quiet, clean and cosy. Situated on a large site with plenty of space. No shop or social club on site but chalet had plenty of extras so just needed to take food. Close by the sandy beach (short downhill walk) and cafe there. Great base to explore from. Kind and responsive hosts. Recommended.
Excellent interior decor and facilities. We were particularly impressed by the quality of the kitchen equipment and accessories - vacuum cleaner etc. It felt like nothing had been skimped on and everything had been carefully sourced and thought out.
The position of the property couldn't have been better - a few minutes' drive or walk from a beautiful beach and an easy route into the town.
The chalet park itself, and some of the chalets on it, are in need of TLC, and there is renovation work going on in some properties that has obviously stalled and is a bit of an eyesore, but the location itself is beautifully tranquil - no noise or rowdiness. All in all, it's a very relaxing place to stay and we had a great time there.
Great place to stay & well looked after by the hosts,the chalet has everything you need (well done guys! Definitely 100% would love to stay again,great location!
The chalet was nice but I think in need of an update. There wasn't a wardrobe in the double bedroom, just some hooks on a rail with some hangers on, it would have been nice to have a wardrobe in there but there was very limited space. There are blinds at the windows but no curtains and with a street light right outside the back bedroom window it was quite light in that room all night. The beds were lovely and comfortable and shower was always hot.
The location wasn't great for us but mostly because I had a broken ankle. The coastal path would have been ideal if I had been able to walk to it. The sun is on the front of the property in the morning but at the back in the evening so not great for sitting out at the end of the day. We did however see lots of rabbits in the field outside the chalet in the morning and evening which was lovely to watch.
It was nice that there were toilet rolls, kitchen roll, foil, hand wash, washing up liquid etc there already which we topped up when we went shopping. The welcome basket was a pleasant surprise. There was plenty of information available with places to visit around the island.
Chalet is very well positioned. Lovely walks to the seafront and over the cliffs. Chalet is a home from home, very well equipped, clean modern and comfortable.
Accomodation was clean and well equipped in a peace setting of the site. Parking very close by ideal for people with ability problems and would definitely use again.
The property was very clean and well equipped with a wonderful Welcome Basket.
It was lovely and quiet and only a short walk to the beach.
We had a wonderful break there.
A perfect peaceful location with stunning scenery.
Renting this property ran so smoothly. I was pleasantly surprised by how well equipped the chalet was. I would definitely recommend it. Communication was excellent I would have given more than 5* if it was possible
My husband, daughter, dog & I had the best stay at Driftwood Chalet, the property was clean, comfortable & very well equipped, along with a lovely welcome pack. It is in a great location with a lovely beach within a 5 minute walk & easy access to all parts of the island. Will definitely book again.
Driftwood is a very clean and comfortable chalet, it is situated in a quiet area and is surrounded by beautiful countryside and very close to the sea front.
I must admit when I booked Driftwood, I thought I was booking a stand alone chalet; my fault as I should have checked it out. However, I must say our initial disappointment soon disappeared, when we realised how cosy, pleasant, clean & comfy the chalet is. Also a quiet place, excellently fitted out. Great shower & kitchen appliances & utensils. Thee most comfortable bed too! Treats on arrival. As far as my husband & I are concerned - top location & fantastic value for money!
Very comfortable, plenty of space for us and our big dog
Close to the beach and some great walkes
