Driftwood Coastal Retreat Reviews

Emma Carter
The Driftwood Lodge was fantastic! Very well stockedand we loved the wildlife - squirrels, badgers, birds - made it really special for our family of four.
Emma R.
We had a lovely stay at Driftwood Lodge. The place is really cosy and super comfortable, with everything we needed. The hot tub was a highlight - so relaxing and well kept. We enjoyed quick trips to nearby coastal villages for walks and some good pub food. The Deer Park Safari next door is definitely worth a visit and great value for money. Our favourite meal was at the Steamboat Inn. The owners were really helpful and even left us a thoughtful welcome pack. Overall, a great break!
Emma
Absolutely loved the cabin! It's even better in real life-so cosy, modernand spacious. The hot tub was perfect after a day exploring. The area's peaceful, with a huge beach nearby. The Beagle pub served great food, just a minute's walk away. We had a fantastic time!
Emma Clarke
We had a lovely stay at this peaceful spot. The lodge is beautifully furnished and has everything you need for a comfy stay. The hot tub was fantastic, especially under the stars on a clear night. The deer park nearby is a must-visit for safari loversand the onsite pub offers decent pub grub with a friendly vibe. We also enjoyed a trip to the Steamboat Inn for lunch, just a short drive away. Overall, a really great holiday, thanks Hide!

We also recommend a visit to Castle Douglas and the Treasure Hunt Treasure Trails. These treasure hunts are great fun for the whole family and are an entertaining way to explore a new town or village. Children will enjoy solving the clues whilst learning about the history of the area. The walking trail is suitable for wheelchair users and those with pushchairs so no one is left out of the fun.

Kids can run around on the Soft Play Area while mum and dad relax in the Tea Room. There is also a Farm Shop onsite selling toys, gifts and fresh local produce including cakes and jams.

Lake District Wildlife Park - CA12 4RD

We love this day out in Cumbria where you're encouraged to "take a fresh look".  Some of the amazing animals you will get to see include the only Canadian Lynx in the UK and you will have the opportunity to help their Lynx Conservation Project.  The Asian Fishing Cat is also well worth a look - these cats are known for diving under the water and catching fish!  Other activities include fantastic flying displays and play areas for the little ones...
