Driftwood B&B

We kicked off our tour of Cornwall at the Driftwood and would happily have stayed longer. The private beach and rooms with a view make any walk well worth it. Breakfast was amazing and we switched each day and was always happy and full. We did switch rooms for a better shower and the owner could not have been more helpful.

An absolutely stunning hotel with breathtaking sea views, a cozy and relaxing atmosphere, and top-notch service. The lush garden, elegant interior, and attention to every detail make it a perfect place to unwind. Everything is truly exceptional😍

Looking at a variety of websites we had high expectations of what was to come. You cannot fault the location, the views of the bay or the staff. In fact, we only met two, one on arrival and one who served breakfast. and both were professional, chatty and welcoming.|This is not a hotel but more of a bed and breakfast. Described as boutique rooms is probably a bit strong. The decor was pleasant enough but rucked carpets, bins with contents still in and 1/4 of a loo roll and no spare (not that extra was needed) was a miss, along with a bed base sheet that did not fit properly. |The grounds clearly have been cared for over years gone by, but now were neglected with weeds in paths and the car park. The walk down to the private beach was more like a David Attenborough adventure due to neglect. Quite a few trip hazards under the foliage. Once down on the beach, time stood still which was lovely.|For those with an appetite you will need to fill up on the toast and cereals as the cooked brekkie, whilst delicious, would have fitted on a side plate.|It is a shame to write a review like this but for the money spent it was expensive and did not offer value for money or live up to the expectations made on its own or the other web sites where it was promoted.

Arrived tonight. Front door open NOONE there to welcome you or know what room you are staying in. Front door left unlocked. If female on own it would be a most unsafe place to stay. No where to get food if you have no car. Very few taxis. This is most unsatisfactory place. Have left 3 messages on voice mail and it said they would ring you back - they haven’t !!!’ Not a cheap place to stay and never experienced anything like this - totally unacceptable. Ruined the weekend / wedding I’m attending. Never again !!

I’m definitely coming here again, Leah the manager can not do enough for you. She’s lovely. |The breakfast is brilliant and the scenery is outstanding. I’m very sad to leave 😩|Till the next time. ☺️

Truly beautiful stay, Peaceful, elegant and stylish, it felt like stepping back in time and locking the real world out, a wonderful walk down the cliff to their enclosed beach, access to the coastal path with a 30 walk to the pub . I didn’t want to leave ☺️

In my opinion this place is not a hotel. It is simply a B&B. It is unstaffed for much of the day. There are no meals other than breakfast and no bar. The website doesn’t make this clear. |There was nobody on reception when I arrived at 6pm. The room wasn’t serviced and the shampoo etc was sufficient only for one person for one night.|Although the location is stunning, I felt cheated having expected a boutique hotel. It was not made clear to me before I parted with my money that this place was just a B&B.

Delightful location overlooking the bay. Room was lovely with a view over the garden and the bay. ||Sadly, just before we went, we were informed that the Hotel had changed hands and would now only be a B&B. We were offered a reduction in the room rate and , as we were only booked in for B&B decided to take this up. ||However, we were slightly disappointed overall, although we do appreciate that we stayed during a ' bedding in ' few days with the new owners. ||We were not made aware beforehand that there would now be no cooked breakfast options on offer, only a cold selection. Whilst adequate it was disappointing. ||For accommodation at this price bracket, why could the 2 bottles of mineral water provided not be replaced daily. ||Also, a mini fridge with some fresh milk? Perhaps a minifridge and a Nespresso ( or similar) machine, especially as there is now no bar/ restaurant available at which to get a decent cup of coffee? ||We were concerned to find that after 5, there are no staff on site. There were no emergency contact details in the room - so if there had been a (non 999 type emergency ) such as a power cut/ flood - it could have been difficult to get this sorted. We understand this particular issue may now have been sorted but are not sure. ||Overall , we did have good nights sleep in pleasant surroundings, but we feel it now very overpriced for the facilities offered||We did speak to the new owner during our stay . We also emailed him with our constructive criticism but have had no reply.
