Description

Driftwood Cottage is a delightful two bedroom property all on one level, making it great for all the family, situated in the wonderfully unspoilt Tamar Peninsula, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and a World Heritage Site. Located next to the picturesque Hewton House, in a small hamlet down a quiet country lane, the cottage itself boasts fabulous views of the Tamar Estuary, Cornwall and beyond.  Everyone who stays here comments on this incredible view.  Relax, unwind and dine al fresco on the wrap around decking in the enclosed garden while watching the sun go down over the river.  

Just a couple miles from Driftwood Cottage is the village of Bere Alston where you will find many of the necessities you may need during your stay, complete with small shops, post office, cafe and butcher. Also nearby is Bere Ferrers where you will find The Olde Plough Inn serving delicious food. Tavistock, a pretty market town where Sir Francis Drake was born, is just eight miles away, bursting with many small independent shops along with many antique and craft markets.  Dartmoor, with all of its open space and fabulous walking, lies just beyond.  Buckland Abbey is also somewhere not to be missed, a National Trust house and gardens with plenty to explore.

In a beautiful scenic setting with spectacular views, perfect for families, friends and special occasions for walking, rest and relaxation.

Reviews

Driftwood is a wonderful cottage. The views are outstanding, and it was such a peaceful place to stay for a week! The cottage was beautifully furnished and had everything we needed for a week - the secure garden was a lovely bonus for our dog. A truly lovely getaway!

Mrs M,

A lovely well-appointed cottage. Comfortable, lovely walks, and an expansive view over the river toward Cornwall. Appreciated the care taken to make this an enjoyable holiday stay.

Mr A,

A very well equipped cottage with a lovely garden and outlook. Very helpful owners and a great base to explore the area

Mr U,

A very special cottage. Tranquil with superb views of the Tamar estuary.

Mrs F,

Lovely cottage very peaceful and beautiful views, great place to relax.

Miss B,

Fantastic views, everything you require in this beautiful cottage

Mr O,

Had a fabulous time in the property - an excellent retreat to rest and unwind after many days house hunting! Enclosed garden great for dogs - felt reassured that our German Shepherd couldn't get out! The view from the sitting room window/garden is stunning - assisted with the unwinding over a glass of wine or two...Facilities excellent, home from home, including use of a laundry room. Owner very pleasant, husband enjoyed the chats and THANK YOU for the welcome milk and biscuits, which were much appreciated. I encourage anyone thinking about booking to just book - you won't be disappointed. We WILL return.

Mr L,

Lovely place with stunning views. Quiet and tranquil location. Dogs loved the garden

Mrs T,

Lovely home from home with beautiful views of the River Tamar. The property had everything we needed and the gardens and deck were a lovely addition. Very friendly owner.

Mrs W,

We loved our time here. The view was stunning and it had everything we needed.

Mrs M,

Spectacular view on the Tamar river with lines of boats on their moorings. As if you are looking at a painting through your windows!

Mr T,

Lovely cottage in a beautiful location.

Mrs E,

The cottage was well laid out, great scenery and the owner was very helpful including when I realised that I had forgotten to buy cooking oil

Mr S,

Fantastic location for a quiet get away with a great caretaking team who where very helpful and friendly.

Mr R,

So enjoyed our short stay at Driftwood Cottage. The property was very comfortable throughout with a lovely homely feel. The kitchen/lounge diner really is a Room With a View - absolutely stunning view of the River Tamar. The garden is a haven for wildlife and we really enjoyed being in close proximity to a female buzzard, pheasants, chaffinches and butterflies. We walked for quite a few miles along the Tamar and finished up in the Yard Cafe with a piece of the best apple and cinnamon cake we have ever had! (Homemade by the lovely housekeeper). Owner was very welcoming and although we didn't have any problems during our stay felt nothing would have been too much trouble. Thoroughly recommend this accommodation. We will definitely be back!

Mrs H,
