We had a lovely stay at Driftwood. It was very clean and we had everything there we needed. The shared pool was a big hit with the children. We would definitely recommend staying at Driftwood.

I think cottage is a miss leading description - this is clearly a little cabin on a small holiday development. That said as one of those it is beautiful lovely furnishings, beautiful clean hot tub and the development is perfectly placed for beach, quiet and ideal for what we were looking for. We had a great time and would recommend. ...

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....

We are so sorry to hear us, as this sort of feedback is not the norm for this property. It is such a shame you didn't get in touch with us while you were here so that we could have contacted the owner and their housekeeper to address any of the cleaning and maintenance issues, so that you could experience the property in the way you expected. We appreciate that you would expect to arrive to everything being 100%, and we are very sorry if it wasn't, but we would have loved the opportunity to help. The owners were immediately sent your comments, and we will continue to monitor feedback. We do hope you still enjoyed your time on the Isle of Wight despite this disappointment. Classic Cottages...

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! ...
