Driftwood

Really disappointed with the property. It’s in a great location and well equipped. But it looked like it wasn’t cleaned properly. Property was full of pet hair, luckily I found a hover which got pretty much full after i had done cleaning the floors. The exterior including front door and windows were all covered in old cobwebs it looked like nobody had cleaned it or been to see it for few months… huge pile of old bird poo by the front door. Hot tub was pretty old and i could believe i couldn’t change the temperature to be suitable to swim with my baby. Furnishings were nice looking but half of them so useless. Why would you have a giant table lamp on tiny bedside table so there’s barely place for a glass of water… one of the armchairs was unstable luckily i noticed before trying to sit in it… what easily could have been a property for us to return to regularly turned to reason i wont be booking with classic again....

Gorgeous cottge in a beautiful location. Quiet and peaceful, the perfect place to relax. Highly recommended.

I was completely blown away by how beautiful and comfortable the cottage was. It looks exactly as it does in the photos and I was so happy to be somewhere that felt so special for a long weekend away with my boyfriend. It was exactly what I was hoping for. I was also really impressed how well stocked the kitchen was. We were given some kitchen essentials (sponge, rubbish bags, dishwasher tablets) in addition to tea, biscuits and milk. Clean, comfortable, cosy, and aesthetically pleasing. I want my house to look like this cottage! I loved how close the cottage is to Cowell Bay. We went to and from the beach several times over the weekend for walks and ice creams. We had hoped to go to The Hut on the beach for drinks or dinner, but unfortunately we couldn't get a booking - we'll have to go back and try again as it looked INCREDIBLE! I also particularly enjoyed using the hot tub in the garden. It really made the cottage feel extra special and like a holiday in the sunshine. The cottage itself was so beautiful and comfortable. It was absolutely perfect for our long weekend away, and could have happily stayed there for a week... or longer! It really was picture perfect. And the bed was super comfy - haven't slept so well in ages. The Wifi was also really fast which was great as we were able to log into Amazon Prime on the telly to watch a film one evening. All in all, the cottage, location, and everything around it was just what we needed. And being so close to Yarmouth was perfect for our Sunday morning exploration, and a mooch around the shops, plentiful coffee shops and bakeries and a lovely deli to stock up our fridge. Would also recommend going to The George for dinner - it was really quite reasonable for a special dinner. And the food was 10/10. Everything about our stay was perfect. I'm already trying to work out when we can come back! ...

We had a great stay at Driftwood. The location is fantastic. A 5 minute walk to the beach, which is dog friendly (apart from a small area). The cottage was cosy, spotlessly clean and is extremely well equipped. Everything has been thought of. We loved the hot tub. It is checked by the onsite team daily. Be warned, they appear in the garden with no notice which was a but of a surprise on our first day. The garden has a nice area for sitting outside and is fully enclosed so great for our dog. We can recommend The Hut for a meal by the beach. Pricey but superb! Lovely food, cocktails and amazing view. Gets very booked up though so book in advance. We didn't use the onsite pool as we had lovely weather so spent lots of time at the beach. It is open daily 10-4. It was our first time booking with Classic Cottages and we were very impressed. Great service and communication and very nice, helpful people to speak with. Thank you Classic Cottages . We loved our holiday at Driftwood! ...

Lovely place to stay, beds are so comfy place clean and tidy. Beach in walking distance, pleasant place to spend a couple of hours. Locals friendly, got talking to a couple of people. Osbourne House worth a visit, as is Cowes. All of the island reachable in 30/45 minutes. The Needles give you a view to remember and a ride on the cable cars a must. There is a swimming pool on site but no lifeguard. Not open very long so no swim for me most days as was closed by 16.00. Too many places on this lovely island to explore so didn't return to base early enough....
