Location
Where is it?
Driftwood is a four bedroomed family home which gazes across the Camel Estuary between Padstow and Rock.
Step from the sea-view terrace of your retreat into the vibrant, foodie fishing village of Padstow. Here, harbourside days and fine-dining nights await, with plenty of time for meandering independent shops and cafes, crabbing off the harbour walls or sampling some Cornish ice cream. It's easy to while away the hours in this picture book village, home to the cooking mastery of Rick Stein, but if you do crave sandy feet and sea air, you've got beaches within arms reach. Take the short walk to the closest beach, catch the ferry or water taxi across to Rock and its sandy, surfer-approved shores, or hop in the car on a five minute drive to Trevone, first of the 'Seven Bays'.
Padstow showcases the very best of Cornwall, inviting long, blustery strolls, watersports sessions, boat trips and cosy pub evenings. Its prime position on the north Cornish coast means you're near plenty of other local gems, too, with Port Isaac and Boscastle in one direction, and Harlyn Bay in the other. -

Guest Reviews
"Driftwood is perfect for a multi generational family. The annex was used by grandparents whilst the adults and older children all had their own bathrooms and bedroom. The property is super close to Padstow and it was a huge bonus to have parking for 3 cars. The annex in the back garden is approached by several steps with limited lighting in case of anyone with mobility issues. There is also a large sloped back lawn which was perfect for our dog too.
The house overall was very warm and welcoming and we would return! "
"Superb house, everything you needed. Location was perfect for us. Great views of the estuary. A quiet and peaceful home with a lovely feel. We would love to return."
