  Had a great week in this property.

  I'd highly recommend and I'll hope to go back one day. The only things I'd note are: If you want ice for drinks etc take an ice cube tray as there wasn't one.; Also take a pair of oven gloves there weren't any. The loo needs some plumbing adjustment because it wastes water when refilling as it keeps running for ages but thats a concern for the owners to maybe look at for their sake. It does work. I've suggested the ice tray and oven gloves be added on a note I left. If you have a dog and shut the driveway gates do keep checking they are still closed as we kept finding them open and our dog got out one morning when we thought they were closed and as he's young we were worried to get him back but fortunately we got him quickly. Apart from the above we found the cottage to be extremely clean, well cared for and furnished to a high standard. Beds very comfortable. Shower is great and powerful. Plenty of hot water and heating great. View across the bay absolutely superb. Outside space well done and as I said, good for our dog to run around a bit. Its easy to cross the road at the front to take the dog for long walks. Also if you drive out towards Arnside Knott, on the way up the hill is a Forestry Commission trail which is wonderful for a dog walk as a stony path has been made which is great if its been wet. The fish and chip shop in Arnside is also great and the Curry place in Milnthorpe very good also we tried them both. If you pay cash at the curry house you get 10% off. There is a Booths supermarket at Milnthorpe which was ok for lots of basics like milk, bread, butter, veg etc. but I found to be lacking in some things so if anything special maybe take it with you. I must point out that the pub almost next door is still currently closed down which is a great pity because being so close it would have been great to pop along for some pub grub. Hopes it may re-open. We found the cottage to be very cosy and a great pleasure to spend some time relaxing in which was the purpose of our stay. Although we cleaned up last morning, I only hope we are forgiven for not hoovering up on our last morning as our dog decided to hurt his paw and we had to rush off away to get him to the vet before they closed at lunchtime. The Dyson hoover is great I used it couple of times through the week and it took no time to hoover up to keep the place tidy. Towels are thick and plush and there is a hairdryer in the main bedroom. There is also an outside umbrella for the Summer which is stored in cupboard in main bedroom as is an iron etc. If you decide to go stay you won't be disappointed. It was a strange feeling that I'd happened by sheer chance to have selected a cottage almost next door to my Aunt's house I used to spend time in as a child but a nice feeling and I'm hoping we'll be able to book to go again next year at some point if they'll have us. The bottle of wine was a lovely touch thank you as were the toiletries also. All in all a wonderful place and most definitely 5 stars and as I've travelled all over then if I say its good then you can take it to be so given I stayed in a cottage in the Lake District last year and couldn't wait to get out of it to go home and I went home early. Well done Nick and Leanne you've created a lovely place to stay thank you.

  Wow what a cottage.

  We loved our stay at Driftwood and will definitely be back. The cottage was lovely and modern and spotlessly clean, really could not fault it which is great in this current climate. On the whole it was really well equipped (some oven proof dishes would have been good). The bottle of wine, milk and tea and coffee were very welcome. We really enjoyed the nepresso machine and that was a great touch. The views were outstanding and so many places to visit and see. You could easily just explore the local area and would be kept busy all week. Cottage was in easy reach of many places and getting to it was very easy. We loved walking along the estuary and I really enjoyed running along there most days. The pub 3 doors down is really worth a visit, really lovely meal and staff were very friendly. Thank you we really had a wonderful week away just want was needed and I really hope we will be back very soon in the future. We have recommended the cottage to a number of people Thanks The Timms Family

  This cottage was lovely for a family holiday to explore Lymington, the New Forest, Beaulieu, and the Isle of Wight.

  For us, parking was easy every time required - outside the front door, which was framed by pretty roses. We got the parking permit arranged once we phoned the cottage owner, who picked up first time and registered our car details online at their end. This cottage was a real 'cottage' size, yet cosy, well- renovated, equipped and furnished with a nice 'sea/blue' interior theme. The stairs were steep, so we found that using the handrail was necessary. We found the mattresses were quite comfortable, and discovered the lounge sofa also proved to be a good sofabed. The area was very quiet at night. So, on our stay, we slept well. One evening, we relaxed and dined in the small sun-trap back garden surrounded by fragrant honeysuckle and tall evergreen hedges. In Lymington, we ate at the King's Head pub-restaurant. Their 'giant' fish & chips main dish was very, very good. A great stay.

  A lovely house, very clean with an awesome view.

  A few very minor points... One of the single beds was very squeaky as were a few doors but nothing a drop of oil couldn't fix. It did prove difficult to unlock the bathroom door from time to time. Could do with some shelves in the en suite as nowhere to put anything and a bin in the bedroom would be handy. And finally, a sharp knife or knife sharper is needed as they are very blunt! As i said, only minor The good points outshine... Very clean and smelt nice, lovely layout, perfect situation, good sized rooms, friendly neighbours both sides, lovely welcome pack, excellent stair gates, loved the wii 8, loved the coffee machine, great sized kitchen. All good and happy campers

  The property was amazing and had everything we needed when we arrived and there was even a little treat for the dog left out which was a lovely touch.

  The location was great, short walk to local shops and pubs for food etc. The house was stunning and didn't lack anything that was needed for our stay. All of the bedrooms were great, well furnished and comfortable. The house was large and perfect for 6 of us and a puppy. We loved the garden and it was safe so we didn't have to worry about our dog going out without being watched constantly. Ample parking at the property and easy to get to. Also lovely local walks in the area with the dog and easy to access other parts of the lakes from. Would definitely return to Langtree - the owners have created a lovely place to stay!
