    This is a great house in the middle of NOWHERE down a very steep and difficult track and yet in striking distance of Stroud and several good local pubs and an excellent farm shop at the end of the lane. Access - Not for a low-slung car and actually, it is not easy to find so a couple of signs would have helped as the signal goes as soon as you start on the most perilous confusing part of the track. But the cottage is home-from-home if a little scruffy, but all the better for this. We had lovely log fires, we were very comfortable, we did some great walks. Wonderful wildlife area and just what we needed. We would go again. One thing, be warned - hot water is very close to boiling. A warning note would be sensible for this. All in all, a great place to stay and we really loved it.

    We had a wonderful few days in this truly special cottage. When we arrived my daughter opened the door looked in and then quickly closed it again, she thought we'd gone to the wrong place as she said it looks like someone is already staying here & they've just popped out for a walk such is the wonderfully homely, comfortable atmosphere. This is the perfect place to unwind and get back to nature. We look forward to visiting again soon. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

    Very nice cottage. It could do with some work, eg fresh grouting around the bath. Overall, very good. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

    We have been there 3 times now and each time has been amazing,we love the place .Its a real get away from it all experience,the cottage is so cosey and comfortable the huge garden is fantastic our dogs were in their element running round having fun, they wore themselves out even before we all went on our daily walks, and they loved them too.The weather was fantastic and it was great to sit outside and enjoy a drink at the Woolpack . It was lovely to discover they had upgraded the TV which allowed us to have access to Netflix ,so watching a film , having the log fire going and a nice glass of wine of cause,what more can you ask for.We would highly recommend this cottage .

    This is a wonderful cottage away from it all, so peaceful and quiet. The wildlife is very good with deer, badgers, buzzards and much more. The only negative is having to pay £52 for electric etc as it was warm we didn't have heating on or use any logs, so not good value for money. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

    We loved Driftcombe. We have been before and loved it then too. It is great if you want absolutely no contact with the outside world and can navigate the challenging hairpin bend. If you can, perfect. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo
