Driftwood is a well maintained, spotless holiday chalet in a good location with plenty of local amenities both on the site and in nearby St. Merryn (a few minutes drive only). The owners are very welcoming and helpful. The only thing stopping me giving five stars is that I found the beds uncomfortable.If driving into Padstow I would advise ignoring satnav and just following the B road round as that avoids the kind of single track roads that can give you nightmares!

It was nice to get away and have a change of scenery but the weather was just awful. Wind and rain pretty much all the time.
Still, at least we were warm and comfy in our home from home.
