Mrs Johnson Sep 2020
Beautiful apartment, everything you would need & all of a high standard. We have stayed at Driftwood before & would highly recommend
Mrs Grills Sep 2020
Lovely apartment, clean and everthing you need. The showers were good and beds comfy, however we had a visit from a four legged friend on the balcony! This was reported to Aspects but as we never heard anything back we assumed no-one from pest control had been. Might have been a one off, this things do happen but on this occasion think Aspects should have been more on the ball.
Mr Guy Aug 2020
Reply from Aspects Holidays
We are so sorry that you did not get a follow up call from us. Your report was clearly overlooked by the team and we cannot apologise enough for that. Environmental health department had quickly sent over someone from pest control to investigate and deal with any that may be around. They will unfortunately be found in any town/village, particularly when there are a lot of people and food sources around, and they can wonder into gardens and down paths on the odd occasion, as much as they would anywhere else, but they are certainly not a regular visitor to this complex. We hope that you still enjoyed your time here and thanks for getting in touch. Tanya, Customer Services
The owners of Driftwood have obviously gone to some effort to ensure the apartment is well presented for guests. It is well furnished/equipped and in a good location. Unfortunately the same attention was not given to the housekeeping and it was disappointingly dirty, meaning we had to clean it on arrival so we could finally relax and enjoy our holiday.

Reply from Aspects Holidays
We are very sorry to hear that you had felt that the cleanliness was not to the high standards that you would have expected. That is certainly not the 'norm' for this property and housekeeper, who has always received very good feedback, so we can only apologise at this point. We would never expect for you to have to spend time cleaning on arrival and would have immediately sent the housekeeper back. Having now been made aware of this though, your comments have been discussed with the property owner and their housekeeper and we will closely monitor further feedback, so thank you for bringing it to our attention. Tanya, Customer Services
Lovely light apartment with high quality furnishings and equipment.
Mr Pickin Jul 2020

Great to find a beautifully presented, comfortable, well equipped property that welcomed our two dogs!
Mrs Cooper Apr 2019
This property really can not be faulted. Beautifully clean and crisp. Coffee machine, dish washer, clothes washer. All mod cons. Overlooks the sea. 10 minute walk into the center of town 15+ for me on return as it is a bit of a hike up the hill. Otherwise superb.
Mr Johanson Mar 2019
Absolutely loved our stay at driftwood. Beautiful apartment, pure luxury. Garage was huge bonus. Location fabulous. Sea views were stunning. 5 stars! Can’t wait to come back!

Mr Wellington Oct 2018
An excellent and comfortable apartment in a great location .. Quality fittings throughout make this a real "home from home" but with the bonus of a fantastic Sea view from the lounge and master bedroom! Its a 10 minute walk from the town centre , only a few minutes from the beach and restaurant at PorthMeor... Plus, you have the bonus of a garage for the car !

Mrs Thomasson Sep 2018
Driftwood is a lovely property in a pretty, quiet location with spectacular views. Everything was there to make our stay really enjoyable. No expense has been spared with with the decor or fittings and the beds are most comfortable. Everything in the apartment has been well thought out to the smallest detail. We even had garage which is a great plus for a St Ives property!!
Mrs Rowe Jun 2018
Super layout, superb fitting and beautiful holiday home.
Mr Veasy May 2018
Lovely apartment in a quiet location but just a lovely 10 minute walk from the heart of St Ives. The kitchen is so well equipped and the whole apartment beautifully furnished and comfortable. A great place, whatever the weather, I happily gazed out to sea through the living room windows as the snow came down in March!
Ms Hyde Mar 2018
Yet again, another lovely stay at Driftwood! Clean, modern, tidy, quiet and extremely well equipped apartment. Mum and I were saying we could easily stay and live there very comfortably! :-)
I shall be returning for a visit next year!
Mrs Payne Oct 2017
Driftwood is a lovely property with all high quality equipment, all amazingly comfortable furnishings, located with a fabulous view of Clodgy, the Island and Porthmeor, and is somewhere we found extremely difficult to leave.
Mr Slater Sep 2017
A comfortable, well equipped house with a high standard of fixtures and fittings in an ideal location just ten minutes walk to the centre of town and even closer to Porthmeor beach. The perfect rental: everything works and everything is clean.
Mr Hunt Oct 2016
A lovely modern clean holiday let and ideal location for getting in and out of St Ives. Perfect!
Mrs Hinchliffe Sep 2016
Amazing property which made our holiday - thank you aspects!
Miss Ralston Aug 2016
Great location for Porthmeor Beach. Modern, clean and stylish. Would definitely stay there again!
Mr Pollard Aug 2016
This was a lovely place which was decorated and furnished to a high spec. We loved that there was a highchair and cot available to use. There was ample supply of kitchen utensils, crockery and appliances..to the degree that we were spoilt for choice. The beds were comfy and the pillows smelt of lavender which was a lovely touch. The property was about a 5 to 10 minute walk to the beach and to the heart of St Ives. It is located at the top of a hill so some people could find this a bit of a challenge but we managed with a pushchair and found it to be a good source of exercise. We also loved the fact that there was a separate garage which did accommodate our estate with no issues. Would highly recommend this property and would happily stay here again.
Ms Dowse May 2016
A thoroughly lovely property and a fantastic base for a holiday. We loved being able to walk to the beach and St Ives centre! We enjoyed all the homely touches such as the feature fire and candle lanterns which made it very cozy even on the most wintery, wet and windy days! We hope to return in the summer.
Ms May Dec 2015
Beautiful decor, and the most comfortable beds we have ever slept in! Great views of the sea from the living room and main bedroom. We were able to sit ton the balcony and enjoy the view, even in October.
Ms King Oct 2015
Very well equipped property with top quality fittings and furnishings. Ideal for a family or a share as there are two separate bathrooms.
Ms Gaywood Oct 2015
An excellent apartment, well located, spacious and comfy, well furnished. Would definitely book again!
Mrs Thornton Aug 2015
Beautifully decorated and clean. Coffee machine was wonderful, once I'd cleaned it all out.

Reply from Aspects Holidays
Thank you for your feedback and we are glad that you liked Driftwood. It has certainly got some lovely views from there and very tastefully decorated. We are really sorry to hear that you had to clean out the coffee machine before you could use it, the housekeeper must have missed this. We would obviously hope for everything to be 100% for your arrival and are glad to hear that everything else was cleaned to a very high standard. Tanya, Customer Services.
Driftwood is a lovely, comfortable property which has been tastefully decorated and kitted out. We would be very happy to stay here again.
