“A lovely guest house - everything we wanted!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 August 2008
1
person found this review helpful

We had a great 4 nights in this lovely guest house - it was perfect for what we wanted. Really central but with no noise from any nightlife, and really close to Fistral Beach.

Our double room was beautifully decorated, bright, airy and comfortable with an ensuite toilet. The whole guest house was very clean and well kept. The owners were friendly and helpful in recomending places to go or what to do.

I'd definitely recomend Driftwood, it was a great base and very good value.
5 stars, thanks!

“Such an amazing place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 May 2008

This lovely guesthouse is just 2 or 3 minutes walk from Fistral beach,The couple that own it are so friendly and welcoming and made sure we had a wonderful stay. On the rainy day we had they made many useful suggestions of how we could enjoy Newquay and we had a great day despite the weather. The rooms are modern chic and very very clean. The beds were really comfortable and the breakfast was delicious, and we found out from chatting to them that the owner has been a proffessional chef.I would definately recommend this guesthouse to anyone wanting a memorable stay in Newquay.

  • Liked — comfort of the rooms and closeness to beach

“not the best b/b”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 April 2008

After reading tripadviser reviews we booked into the Driftwood b/b.only to be slightly disapointed. Although the rooms were clean and central i thought the room we stayed in was poorly decorated and the breakfast was measly and over cooked.Don't believe everything you read.

This is a great little guesthouse right near town with lovely views of the sea. The owners are really friendly, the breakfast is really nice, the rooms are nicely decorated and the bathroom is lovely. Would recommend this place to anyone going for a short break to Newquay for sure.
