Driftwood is a modern, two bedroom first floor apartment with two bathrooms and off-road parking set amongst a charming neighbourhood in an enviable quayside location.

The living space is relaxing and cosy with two comfortable sofas providing an ideal spot for guests to sit back and put their feet up after a long day of exploring. There is a subtle nautical theme within this space, with modern Cornish prints of local towns and landmarks. A TV provides guests with a perfect spot to gather together on a quiet night in and catch up on their favourite shows or a movie and free standing lamps enable this space to remain cosy and relaxing once the sun goes down. This main living space is bright and warm, with large windows offering those gorgeous water views and allowing natural light to flood this space.

Testimonials

Thank you for a wonderful two weeks in ‘Driftwood’. Very comfortable apartment & lovely decorations! Really lives up to its name! Great location to explore the areas around Cornwall – Many thanks!

 

Great time in Cornwall, Driftwood made a great base. Very comfortable apartment with everything you need. We were in Falmouth to drop our daughter off at Uni & decided to make a holiday out of it. We would definitely use Driftwood again!

U & R

Wonderful week in Driftwood, beautiful with stunning decoration absolutely loved it. Loved relaxing on the balcony and its the perfect base for surrounding areas and only five minutes from our daughters student house and two minutes to the bus stop for Falmouth – Perfect! Comfortable and well decorated and everything you could need in the kitchen, very well equipped. Clean & tidy and excellent presentation, would definitely stay again

The property was spotless and decorated to a high standard with lots of personal little touches that just blended all the themes together. We absolutely loved the whole apartment and was so comfortable there, even the little touches of cushions and blankets to sit on the balcony everything was just so well thought out. Our daughter is at Penryn uni so we will be going again next year and will definitely book Driftwood again if it’s free. Many thanks for an excellent choice.

We recently enjoyed a week staying in this gorgeous apartment. It’s in a perfect location, a stone’s throw from the quay, overlooking the river and we woke to beautiful sunrises daily.  Penryn itself is quaint and appealing, with cafes, pubs, art galleries and cobbled streets to explore. The apartment is beautifully furnished and has everything you could ask for in a home, let alone a holiday let. Stylish furniture, fully equipped kitchen (including washing machine and dishwasher, microwave, Nespresso machine), en-suite bathroom, spacious family bathroom and thoughtful touches like electronic tea-lights to create a warm ambience (candles are not allowed), and blankets for use on the balcony if you like to sit outside. This really is a luxurious place to spend some time in Cornwall and it’s ideally placed to get out and see the rest of the county. I’d thoroughly recommend a stay here and we will be returning in the future!

J & B

Driftwood is a well equipped, comfortable and spotlessly clean apartment with views of Penryn harbour, it is situated just off of the main Penryn – Falmouth road but is quiet enough during the evening / night. Off street car parking is provided. Penryn town centre and the quay are a few minutes walk away with a handful of essential shops, 3 / 4 pubs and a couple of cafes / bistros, buses to Falmouth are plentiful with the stop right outside of the apartment at £4.50 return and takes about 10 minutes, alternatively taxis are about £6 with plenty of shops / restaurants / pubs and bars to be found in the centre of Falmouth. I would definitely recommend this apartment and would use again.

Had a lovely week in this wonderful apartment. The apartment had everything we could need and is very thoughtfully decorated. We felt right at home and hope to stay here again in the future. With parking out front & a Cornish grocery store within walking distance, it was the perfect ‘home base’ for us to travel Cornwall. Thank you for a home away from home and a lovely week.

We had a lovely week in Cornwall.  The apartment was the perfect base that we needed to enable us to explore and come back ‘home’ to relax.  The view from the balcony was lovely with a great feeling of tranquillity. Definitely somewhere we would come back to.

Thank you so much for our stay in your lovely apartment.  You really have thought of everything to make the holiday experience complete.  We will definitely be back to enjoy more of the excellent hospitality we have had this week.

We have had a great 2 weeks at Driftwood, which has provided us with all we needed for a comfortable stay. We’ve had a lot of self-catering holidays over the years and this apartment is definitely one of the best we have encountered.

Lovely relaxed stay in this comfortable apartment, we enjoyed the view of the river, appreciated the cream tea on arrival also the maps, games & puzzles, many thanks,

C&F

This was our first stay at Driftwood, however not our first in the Falmouth / Penryn area. The apartment was comfortable and well appointed and we had a wonderful stay. We recommend the food barn at Tregew and the Verdant Seafood Bar as well as that we enjoyed swims at Gylly beach and walks from there to Swanpool for their giant quirky ice-creams!

This was our second stay at Driftwood which was lovely. Fantastic apartment, so well equipped, comfortable & well located for lots of near-by attractions.  We hope to stay again – thank you!

Fantastic stay at Driftwood.  Perfect apartment, lovely comfy beds and everything you could want. Appreciated the Christmas tree and decorations – nice touch.
Excellent facilities in the kitchen – all so clean and really good quality.  We will definitely be back.
Sincere thanks J, P & C
