We loved the house and the area. The house was good for my daughter who is a wheelchair user. It would have been perfect if there hadnt been a drawer below the sink. The beds were comfortable too.
Ideal location for us very close to the yacht club. Very secure garden for dogs and very comfy. Patio doors and freezer door broken otherwise excellent. Booking for next Cadet Week next year.
I loved this house, it was bright, roomy and really lovely to stay in. The location was great, there’s some building work nearby but that didn’t affect us at all. It has beautiful views and is really close to Kippford to walk to.
I wouldn’t change anything
My family stayed at Driftwood to celebrate my mother’s 80th birthday and parents 60th wedding anniversary
It is a lovely house with everything you could need in the beautiful village of Kippford and we even saw the sun.
Thoroughly recommended!
Family had a great time. Big house with separate sleeping areas which was good. Couldn't hear the kids upstairs in the morning. Good secure garden for kids and dogs. Lovely walks and lots to see and do in the area. Would definitely recommend.
