CORNISH COAST, UK

Where the world
slows down.

A privately owned retreat for those who believe a great holiday should feel effortless. Arrive. Breathe. Stay a while.

THE PROPERTY

A house made for gathering.

Drift House sits on three acres of coastal land with uninterrupted views from every room. Built by the current owners as a family retreat and opened to guests in 2021, it sleeps 10 across five bedrooms, each styled individually using local materials, antiques, and custom-made furniture. The kitchen is large enough for a chef and a crowd. The garden runs to the clifftop. And on a clear day, you can see the sea from every window on the south side of the house.

GETTING THERE

Where you'll wake up.

Set in Mawgan Porth on the north Cornish coast — one of the least developed, most spectacularly beautiful stretches of coastline in England. The nearest beach is a 5-minute walk. The nearest pub is 4 minutes. And the nearest city feels very, very far away. That is, we think, the point.

GUEST REVIEWS

What our guests say.

“We booked Drift House for a milestone birthday and it was everything we hoped for. The house is even more beautiful than the photographs — the light that comes through those windows in the morning is something else entirely. The hot tub is a revelation, the location is just stunning, and we were a group of nine with room to breathe everywhere. We've already looked at dates for next year.”

The Morrison Family

Birthday celebration, 9 guests · August

“We've done a great many holiday lets over the years and this is, without question, the finest we've ever stayed in. The beds are extraordinary — we haven't slept that well in years. The kitchen has everything you could want. And the view from the sitting room window is something that stays with you. We genuinely did not want to leave.”

James & Catherine W.

Anniversary stay · September

“We brought our two dogs (the owners are brilliant about it — they left dog towels, water bowls, and a little note about the local dog-friendly beaches, which we thought was a lovely touch). The coastal walk from the front gate is spectacular. We can't recommend Drift House highly enough to anyone who loves the Cornish coast.”
