Driftwood is a secret gem on two levels, where go down stairs and enter a private garden with dining area, Jacuzzi hot tub and outdoor shower, right in the heart of the village. The furniture has been carefully chosen for a modern funky theme using G-Plan furniture with simple shapes of blues, yellows and greys. The Bedrooms have the option to form 3 x 3ft singles and 1 super king size, to accommodate separate beds. There are black out blinds in all bedrooms and the mattresses are luxurious. There is a Sonos music system linked around the house. Guests have reviewed the house to 'much more spacious than we imagined' and 'home from home'. The Jacuzzi is often regarded as the highlight as well as the location, being so close to a gorgeous beach within a local 'non-commercial' village.

I have been hosting for many years and love to pass on my local knowledge, having be born and brought up in Cornwall. I am a keen hiker and surfer as well as mother of 2 very active kids. Please ask me for any information regarding wet weather local activities, theatre shows, hikes, kit hire, local festivals and favourite surf spots and what conditions are best.

The house is a short level walk to the Blue Flag Life Guarded beach with surf. The beach has an outdoor pool which is cut into the rocks on the north side which is accessible at low tide. You can also find the many mini pools cut out the Lady Basset. The sunsets are amazing and in the summer the sun sets behind Gull rock. The house is central in the village and there are excellent restaurants and pubs serving a range of foods meeting all needs on your door step. There is a surf shop for SUP and board hire. The village bakery serves pasties, Chinese takeaway is on the corner Glenfeadon Terrace and Flower Power Pizza has takeaway on Thursday's serving the best pizza. The village is the start of the Cycle path known as the 'Bissoe Trail' following the Old Mineral Tramway, which is 22 miles long ending up on the South Coast. There is also the 'Track' in Bridge 5 minutes drive which is a bikers dream. The village is also within the Cornwall and West Devon Mining World Heritage Site. Portreath is central for Cornwall which is convenient, 50 minute drive to the Eden Project, 1 hr from the Minack Theatre, 35 minutes from St. Ives and 30 minutes from Newquay. There are gorgeous woods and walks right from the property to Tehidy Woods or Illogan Woods as well as the Cornish coastal path, which is easily accessible from the property and takes you along the North cliffs, with wild ponies, grey seals and sea birds.
