Driftwood Den Cottage

Is a delightful seaside holiday cottage, tucked between a ramshackle of properties on Salt Pan Well Steps just a 10-minute walk to the bustling East side of town and most of the major attractions you will want to visit.

Accessed from Church Street opposite Parkol Marine Engineering or from The Ropery there are steps up to or down to this cosy little cottage but the property is then on one floor. If you’re looking for a quirky & quaint Grade 2 listed cottage that’s perfect for a couple or the solo traveller then look no further.

We’d describe it as Studio style - a cosy double bedroom with an en-suite Shower Room and a lounge with an open plan kitchenette for relaxing and making a light bite. We think this would suit you if you want affordable but a bit more space than a hotel or guest house room. With neighbouring holiday cottages you also have the luxury of a small shared garden & patio area which is a little bit of tranquillity tucked away in our bustling town.

We provide linen, towels, and basic catering supplies (tea, coffee, sugar & milk) for that all-important arrival cuppa! & kitchen crockery, utensils as well as cooking necessities to make breakfast or a light meal.

A picnic hamper & rug are available for use during your stay as well as a patio area with furniture and if you are staying for a week we will also include a little treat Hamper to enjoy.

 

Operated by The Endeavour Pub, keys can be collected by conveniently pulling up outside the pub and the cottage is just a few minutes drive away, the staff are on hand should you have any queries during your stay. As with most properties we do not have designated parking however there is free on-street parking close to the property subject to availability and a couple of car parks close by. We will provide full details of how to find the cottage and all the available parking close by and in town when you arrive but you can also find it on the location page. 

Please be mindful when booking regarding the steps that lead to the property if these may present an issue for you as there is no suitable disabled access.

It should also be noted that due to the location of the cottage, it is not possible to park outside and you will need to walk your luggage to the property even if you are parked close by.
