We really enjoyed our stay here. We booked the Mykonos room which suited us perfectly. It was very private, with our own hot tub and covered garden area, which was perfect for the March weather.  …

We had a wonderful stay at Driftwood Beach House. The Moroccan style room is absolutely gorgeous and very comfortable. We really enjoyed lighting a fire, putting fairy lights on, and getting in the hot tub on a chilly February evening.  …

We had an amazing 3 night stay at Driftwood. Jasmine was always accomodating to our needs. Our room was luxurious, beautifully decorated and clean with a delicious breakfast delivered each morning. We could not have asked for more and enjoyed a lovely evening in the hot tub with the open fireplace. Everything felt effortless and we would love to stay again.

Jasmin and Kevin were excellent hosts. It was one of the hottest weekends and couldn’t be a better spot to bring summer to an end. Tastefully designed, minutes from beach, great breakfast and cosy and stylish home. Spacious garden, great privacy and quiet. No faults.
