The Drift has a lot going for it - it's in a very peaceful location with Holt and the coast easily accessible. The cottage is a good size, but manages to feel cosy. The beds were very comfortable, with plenty of bedding and towels provided. A minor niggle - the guest info on site did say that there would be logs available for a first use of the woodburner, but unfortunately there weren't which was a bit of shame on our first evening (when it was cold and wet outside!). We did also have a problem one day with flies in the back bedroom (as mentioned by a previous reviewer) - it didn't spoil our trip, but could be an intermittent issue that needs dealing with.
