We fell in love with the location and cosy feel of Driftwood Cottage immediately. Situated in one of the most sought after areas of Cornwall, and only a 5 minute drive to Carbis Bay Beach, Driftwood Cottage is perfectly positioned. It's also a stones throw (7 minutes) from the famous and artistic town of St Ives, where you can explore the Tate Gallery, enjoy wonderful restaurants, and if you fancy your hand at surfing you can find some of the best waves in Cornwall. Driftwood Cottage has 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom and an open plan kitchen/living area. The cottage is located in 100 acres of beautiful woodland and has an incredibly peaceful feel to it. We have dedicated free car parking directly beside the cottage, which gives you total freedom to explore everything that Cornwall has to offer. Whilst the cottage is small, it has a kitchen that comes fully equipped with a cooker, hob, microwave, toaster and fridge. We also supply bed linen, towels, washing up liquid and tea towels. Everything you need for a self catering holiday. The cottage is one of a collection. It's very peaceful and surrounded by what nature has to offer.

I've worked as an interior designer for most of my career, and I wanted to bring the essence of St Ives to Driftwood Cottage. I'm a keen surfer and absolutely love Cornwall, especially St Ives and the surrounding area.

There are some fantastic places to eat locally, but my personal favourite is Porthminster Kitchen in St Ives. They tend to get pretty busy, so I would definitely advise booking. Another fun restaurant is La Casita (a Tapas restaurant) in Carbis Bay, and only a 5 minute drive from the cottage. For one of the greatest pubs locally, I'd check out The Tinners Arms in Zennor (15 minute drive). It’s steeped in history and dates back to 1271. Lovely beer garden, sea views and some fantastic walks in the surrounding area. If you fancy your hand at surfing, we recommend using St Ives Surf School. on Porthmeor Beach They have also agreed a 10% discount to all guests of Driftwood Cottage. Win!
