About this cottage rental
Driftwood is magically situated a stone's throw from one of the best beaches in Cornwall, Driftwood is dog friendly (there are summertime dog restrictions on the beach, see below) The accommodation comprises a fully fitted kitchen diner, and living room on the ground floor with two bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor. As a bonus, Driftwood now has an EV charge point installed. There is a small garden to the rear with a decked area and a table with benches.
Porthtowan is one of the finest beaches on the North Coast, there is a vast expanse of golden sand at low tide which is ideal for a family game of rounders or cricket. Flanking the beach are impressive cliffs, rock pools, caves, and a tidal pool, but Porthtowan is renowned for its fantastic curling break, there is lifeguard cover during the Easter holidays and from May through to September, and there is a surf school that can teach anyone from 8 years upwards, at the top of the beach is a playground. There are a plethora of dog walks nearby from cliff walks on the coast path, please keep your family friend on a lead, on the beach (however dogs are banned between 10am and 6pm between May 15 and September 30), to exploring the rich mining heritage including Wheal Coates, the archetypal Cornish engine house, dramatically perched on the cliffs at Towanroath approximately 1km north of the beach.

We stayed here for a week and we couldn't be happier. The cottage does show some minimal wear and tear but nothing that presents as a problem. The property was completely functional for our needs - well equipped for cooking and a short walk to the sea (literally a minute away!!). We will definitely be coming back to stay!

This is the 2nd time we have have stayed at Driftwood albeit it several years apart. The location is great - just a minutes walk to the beach but it is beginning to feel a bit tired. The flooring could do with updating - carpets maybe need new underlay and the lounge flooring is showing a fair bit of wear. One thing that was a real pain was the bathroom Velux window has no privacy glass - it wouldn't take much effort to add some privacy film - I ended up taping together some news paper to put on it. Also there were no keys for the downstairs windows so we couldn't lock them for security. Another bug bear was that there was no key for the front door - just the back door. The cleaner had a key for the front door but it was not available for the tenants. There were cobwebs in the corners of the Velux windows which was a bit of putting but on the whole a nice place to stay. A washing/drying line in the garden would be very handy too as the clothes horse inside is too small for much to be hung on it and the rails on the radiators are just too low - had to hang towels over the doors. As they say on the TV - location location location!
