The private spa pool was a dream and the perfect way to relax after exploring, with the beach just a stone's throw away. The property felt both luxurious and incredibly welcoming. Our stay was fantastic and exceeded all our expectations. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect getaway.

Watching the sunset over the beach from the spa was a highlight. We fell in love with Drifting Sands, such a homely and welcoming place, with a well-equipped kitchen, comfy beds and lovely bathrooms. Thanks for a great stay. We’ll be back!

The host drove us to the airport for free, which we really appreciated, and was flexible about check-in too. The room was super clean and the house decorations were pleasing. It's in a good spot between town and the glowworms, right on the beach. Breakfast was simple but delicious, with homemade toast and jams. We were concerned about sharing a bathroom, but had no issues, and the other guests were respectful. Definitely recommend!

Anna, who runs the place and looks after the guests, was friendly and accommodating, and the spot felt homely. The kitchen was fully stocked with appliances and equipment, so making a meal was easy. Homemade bread and jams were delicious, and the location is convenient, right by the shops and a short walk from the dell glow worm attraction. It’s also close to the beach, with great amenities.

The place looked lovely, but our room had a window that wouldn't shut. If I needed the bathroom at midnight, I had to go out in the rain. As I understand it, there are four bedrooms for up to 12 people, but only two bathrooms. For the price, it felt like an expensive backpackers hostel with breakfast.
