Description
Situated looking out over the blue flag awarded Widemouth Bay, the charming holiday retreat Driftwood showcases breath-taking panoramic views of the Cornish coastline. Brand new for 2023, the idyllic lodge and shepherds hut offer a perfect blend of comfort, tranquility, and natural beauty.
Perfect for couples and friends, up to four guests can stay between the lodge and the shepherd’s hut. The lodge features a spacious open-plan living area, thoughtfully designed with comfort in mind a traditional decor. The doors open onto your private deck and fill the room with natural light, and offer stunning views of the surrounding vistas.
Guests can make use of the well-equipped kitchen and all the necessary amenities to prepare delicious meals, including oven, hob, dishwasher and microwave. For evenings in a delight around the cosy dining table for four, or why not dine alfresco and make the most of the beautiful views, with BBQ, garden, and outdoor seating to enjoy the evening sunset.
The lodge can sleep two guests with a king size bedroom and en suite shower room. The adjacent shepherds hut can sleep a further two guests in a king size bed, with en suite bathroom including shower, WC, and basin. Guests staying in the shepherd’s hut have use of a kitchenette with microwave, kettle, and toaster.
Just a couple of miles from the nearby town of Bude, the beach at Widemouth Bay is a wide expanse of open sand stretching nearly two miles, with lots of rock pools to explore. Pronounced as ‘wid-muth’, it’s a great base to explore the North Cornwall and Devon coastline, with easy access to the Southwest Coast Path for walkers. Only a short drive away are the historic villages of Tintagel and Boscastle, steeped in legends and folklore.

We had a lovely holiday and will definitely return. It was perfect for access to the coastal path and beach, no need to put the dogs on leads. Large secure garden for the dogs. Lots to do locally, especially if you like walking and swimming/surfing. see more

We were let down by another Airbnb in Hartland at short notice and booked Driftwood as a last minute replacement, and wow... we couldn't believe our good fortune.

Driftwood is an enchanting beach shack in the most remarkable location with uninterrupted views of Widemouth Bay and the wide Atlantic. Photos just won't do the view justice. We were lucky enough to enjoy 2 clear blue-sky days and spectacular sunsets from the decking, and found ourselves often just looking out to sea, watching the waves roll in. We highly recommend Driftwood and we will definitely be returning in the not-too-distant future.

Just got back from a weeks holiday and missing the view already. Daughter and her partner stayed in the shepherds hut which worked very well. The dog loved running around the secured garden but loved his walks on the beach in the morning more, which can be easily reached from the gate at the bottom of the garden. Very close to Bude which is a lovely town to explore. Would definitely recommend this property for the views alone but it’s very cosy inside too.

A few cobwebs, and dust in corners but must be hard keeping a timber framed building clean.

There was no kitchen cupboard space to put any food whatsoever and the fridge was very small (this was the one thing that knocked the accommodation rating down from excellent to good)

The location is unrivalled in my opinion. The view of, and proximity to, the beach is perfect, yet still retains a feeling of privacy and remoteness.
The cabin and hut are well-equipped and full of character. The welcome pack much-appreciated.

Driftwood is located in a lovely spot right on the coastal path. The cabin, hut and garden was just lovely and the dogs loved having a mooch in the secure garden when not out walking on the beach.
We loved the little gestures that were left for us including a bottle of fizz which went down very nicely, thank you. The cabin has everything you need for a relaxing break and the falling asleep to the sound of the sea was just perfect. The beach was easily accessible and we walked to Bude on the coastal path which was a lovely walk. We met Nigel who was extremely welcoming and friendly. We will definitely rebook. |

Whilst the cabin was “surface clean” and tidy, more care is needed with the cleaning regime.
We were told we were unable to check in until 4pm due to a same day check out which required the house keeper to carry out their duties. However, there were cobwebs and dust in places that would suggest it had not been “deep cleaned” for some time. Whilst that didn’t bother us so much, and appreciate it is right on the coast, for the price, I would would have expected slightly better cleaning standards. Having 2 small dogs, I hoovered every other day but discovered under the sofa, bed and fireplace was extremely dusty. |

Driftwood is such a beautiful cabin with the shepherd's hut being equally impressive. The dogs have loved every second of their stay. The beach being so close, the garden being perfect for them to be nosy and watch the world go by. We were lucky enough to be first guests and know how lucky people following in our footsteps will be. Great hosts, great accommodation, great location. |

The cabin was amazing! Breathtaking views of the sea and beach from it's clifftop location. Ideally situated for a short beach walk to lovely cafes, bars and restaurants on the beach, and obviously for the stunning beach at Widemouth Bay itself! The cabin is very cosy and was warm even in bracing October storms. It has everything you'll need and has been kitted out very thoughtfully and sensitively. Outside there is a big decking area and garden with lots of privacy. The garden opens directly on to the South West Coast Path and although there are plenty of walkers they are far enough away from the cabin to still allow for perfect privacy. There is a big property directly next door but the cabin is shielded from it very well. There is also a lovely shepherd's hut as part of the property which although we didn't use, looked great. Lots of great walks direct from the door including to Bude via the Weir and back via the coast path. Can't recommend enough! Thankyou! Dog loved it too!

Our stay at Driftwood and the accompanying Shepherds Hut was fantastic. The accommodation was beautiful. Quirky, original and really well appointed. Felt very at home in the spaces that had been created. The views are superb and you can watch the sunset over the cliffs which was great for any budding photographers like myself. Nigel and Sally were our hosts and we couldnt have asked for better. Really friendly and helpful. Anyone staying here would be choosing wisely. We will definitely be back.
