Driftwood Hotel - At A Glance

Stylish Cornish coastal retreat with shades of nautical New England

Cornwall meets Cape Cod at Driftwood, a clapboard boutique hotel painted in fresh nautical blues. Set on a breezy clifftop above its own private beach, it makes the perfect rustic hideaway.

Know It All

Hit the spot
Five miles from St Mawes, near Falmouth.

Be savvy
Take a frisbee and binoculars for beachs walks.

Be smitten

Just the place to drift away in Cornwall.

Bedtime...

Rooms and suites
14 rooms and a private two bedroom cabin.

Special features

Every room has a private decked terrace, L’Occitane body products, a TV/DVD player and wi-fi. Almost all have a kingsize bed.

Also…
You’ll find seven acres of gardens and a private beach outside. There’s also a TV and games room, plus a DVD library.

Pillow Talk
Take a bedroom with its own decked terrace, or – for that true hideaway feel – the weather boarded Cabin by the sea.

Eat & Drink

Dining in
Expect plenty of freshly caught fish at Driftwood. Chef Chris Eden’s modern European dishes feature hand-dived scallops, red mullet, crab risotto and mackerel tartare. Meat eaters are not left out, with plenty of locally reared fare on offer, such as boudin of Lanihorn rabbit and lamb with rhubarb sauce.

If you can’t decide, go for the tasting menu and sample something of everything. The restaurant team will also pack you a delicious hamper – ideal for lunch on the beach. Afternoon tea and cakes are worth coming back for, too.

Breakfast
Excellent breakfasts are served until 9:30 on weekdays, 10:00 on Sundays. As well as home-made breads and cereals, you’ll find Cornish kippers or salmon and scrambled eggs.

Room service

Drinks and light snacks are available from lunchtime to around 10pm.

See & Do

See & Do
Stroll along Driftwood’s private pebbly beach or lace up your walking boots and set off with one of the chef’s hampers along the famously scenic coastal paths. The Eden Project, Lost Gardens of Heligan and the avant-garde Tate Gallery at St Ives are all within easy reach.

Go surfing at Newquay (look out for dolphins), book a fishing trip or – if you’d sooner keep your feet dry – play tennis or golf nearby.

Trendy St Mawes is five miles away and you’re just a mile from the quaint fishing village of Porscatho. If the weather keeps you indoors there’s a cosy TV room packed with books and DVDs, plus a games room and pool table.

Spa
Book an in-room massage or beauty treatment at reception.

Diary Dates
August
Pack your deck shoes for the Falmouth regatta.

October
For an excuse to quaff champagne and oysters head to the Falmouth Oyster festival.
