Bovisand chalet
Jul 2020

The chalet had a great view of the sea, with lovely beaches within just a few minutes. However, we found the bedroom a bit too small. The duvet and pillows were also very synthetic feeling.

Response from the owner
Thank you for finding time to review Driftwood No.7, we are really glad you enjoyed the views which along with access to the beaches are the best features of the chalet. The bedroom is on the slightly smaller side as we chose to have a King size bed which we think guests prefer. We are glad you enjoyed your stay and would love to welcome you back at some point! Kind regards Heather

Response from the owner
Thank you so much for the great review. I know you found the country lanes a little tricky with the passing places and single lanes which are unfortunately part and parcel of its remote location next to the coast but we are glad the views and coastal walks make up for it! We would love you to stay with us again. Kind Regards Heather
