Great cottage for the beach at Porthtowan
This is the 2nd time we have have stayed at Driftwood albeit it several years apart. The location is great - just a minutes walk to the beach but it is beginning to feel a bit tired. The flooring could do with updating - carpets maybe need new underlay and the lounge flooring is showing a fair bit of wear. One thing that was a real pain was the bathroom Velux window has no privacy glass - it wouldn't take much effort to add some privacy film - I ended up taping together some news paper to put on it. Also there were no keys for the downstairs windows so we couldn't lock them for security. Another bug bear was that there was no key for the front door - just the back door. The cleaner had a key for the front door but it was not available for the tenants. There were cobwebs in the corners of the Velux windows which was a bit of putting but on the whole a nice place to stay. A washing/drying line in the garden would be very handy too as the clothes horse inside is too small for much to be hung on it and the rails on the radiators are just too low - had to hang towels over the doors. As they say on the TV - location location location!
