I always have a lovely week here it is my “home from home”. Close enough to central st ives but far out enough to be pretty quiet - a great base for my day hikes or on the bus or train to further afield! Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

Lovely cosy cottage

Lovely cosy cottage. Very clean and nicely renovated. We were very happy on arrival to find milk in the fridge! Driftwood is situated in a very convenient place for beaches, shops, Tate and restaurants.
