Driftwood is a thatched cottage in the centre of the village of Malborough, within easy reach of a wealth of sandy beaches, wonderful walks along the magnificent South Devon coastline and the popular family town of Salcombe with all its boating, watersport and shopping amenities. A house for all seasons, Driftwood has been completely refurbished to create a modern country-cottage look, combining contemporary living with Devon period-house charm. An architectural garden laid to patio, including built-in barbecue, provides additional space for sun-lounging and al fresco dining. With its own car parking space, this is a delightful holiday cottage from which to indulge yourself in all this special part of the South Hams has to offer. One you will want to come back to over and over again.
