Cottage vacation rentals in Drake's Island

Wow we loved this place so so much! Firstly it was within the most peaceful setting you could imagine. Sitting out in the garden was so serene, and the wood fired hot tub was a fun bonus! Inside was immaculate, so cosy and homely! Absolutely everything you might think you need was supplied! The upstairs bedroom/bathroom was dreamy! Surrounded by lovely walks (the coastal footpath was only 5 minutes walk away) and close by to some gorgeous Devonshire villages/towns, I genuinely couldn’t fault this property! Hopefully we will be back soon! ☺️

As a group of four we had an excellent stay at Briardene. The cottage had plenty of space and was extremely well equipped and very clean and stylish. The hot tub was lovely and the quiet nights enabled a good night's sleep. There were two parking spaces which was great as the village is small with narrow roads. The village pub was warm and welcoming and the food was great. I wouldn't hesitate to stay again.

Lovely little cottage with fantastic hot tub and outdoor space. Walking distance to Polperro village and easy access to the coastal path too.

Frank is very deserving of the Super-host moniker. He is an absolutely fantastic gentleman, who goes out of his way to make all his guests feel welcome, he is very quick to respond to messages and very accommodating and welcoming. The cottage is fitted out to a very high standard, with a feeling of luxury in every room. The views are absolutely amazing. It is a very quiet area to stay, in fact it is the quietest area I have ever stayed in. There is plenty to do around the cottage for those rainy days when you don't want to get out. It's a beautiful area, the small village is about a mile away, apart from that, it is pure farmland as far as the eye can see. If you are after a quiet, scenic holiday with a fabulous host, you cannot go wrong with The Views. A big thanks to Frank for all the hospitality he extended to myself and my family.

A beautiful part of Devon, easy access to Cornwall and the North Cornish coast, quite nice being next to the farm with all of the animals, very little light pollution meaning you can take nice nightscape photos if you desire, there is a nice walk directly from the house to a nearby village… thank you

This place oozes rustic luxury - the house has so much character! Julian/Laura sent instructions for the parking (you can’t just put the address in and drive to it) and the parking felt super secure and was very close by. The space is beautiful - each room has its own charm and there’s a great feeling of space. Don’t come here if you want a super modern space with no uniqueness or character about it - it has an inside hammock, nooks in the garden to explore and beautiful trees/flowers growing. The hot tub is lovely and WHAT a view over the harbour! The garden isn’t fully enclosed (our dog doesn’t go far and he loved exploring it every day) so something to bear in mind. Opening the French doors to sit and eat meals was lovely, and the table tennis is great! The kitchen is kitted out with all you need. Fowey is beautiful - loads of lovely places to eat and drink - and so many pretty views! It’s a steep walk down but there is another slightly longer but less steep way to get there

We had an amazing peaceful break here with our family , it was beautiful lovely for dog walks and a great park for the little ones to play ..so relaxing. Kamila was so helpful anything we needed she bought round to us we had a lovely log fire in our cosy cottage so she stocked us up on wood when we needed it she also let us feed the animals on our last day which was a great end to a beautiful trip away it made our little girls day thanks so much and thanks to Mario too for being so nice and welcoming 5☆

Gorgeous cottage , beautifully renovated . Cosy but functional . Hot tub was lovely to come back to after a long walk . Peaceful location but within easy drive of Fowey . Would definitely come again.

We had the most wonderful Christmas stay at this lovely cottage! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the spacious layout and how well equipped everything was. The cottage had all the amenities we needed to make our holiday special, from a good-sized kitchen to comfortable living spaces. Located in a quiet area just a stone's throw from the beach and cliffs, it offered us the perfect blend of relaxation and stunning views. Our host was incredibly responsive and made us feel right at home, ensuring we had everything we needed for a memorable stay. Whether it was providing recommendations for local attractions or simply checking in to see if we needed anything, their hospitality was outstanding. This cottage is ideal for anyone looking to unwind and enjoy the festive season in a beautiful setting. We can’t recommend it enough and are already hoping to return soon!

Great value for a lovely quiet retreat for the weekend, easy to get around the North Cornish coast from the location. Accomodation was spotless and very comfortable, would happily stay again as it offered all we need.

Simply the best AirBnB we’ve visited. Pristine and extremely comfortable, fantastic kitchen/day room and what a view of the rolling hills. Andrea was extremely helpful and made us feel right at home. Located within a couple of miles of Salcombe with great walks (we walked to Salcombe). So sad to leave

Absolutely perfect stay! Having first stayed here in 2019 we returned and have just spent three nights at this beautiful rural Airbnb and couldn’t have asked for more. The bed was incredibly comfy, ensuring a great night’s sleep after long coastal walks. The hosts were warm, welcoming, and made us feel right at home. The property had everything we needed, and the garden was a peaceful spot to relax. We loved the walks to Hope Cove and also did a fantastic 10km hike along the coast to Salcombe. Can’t recommend this place enough. We’ll definitely be back!

Don't hesitate to book here! Barbara is a perfect host. She is responsive, with clear, concise, and friendly communication. Once you're there, she's there if you need her, but will leave you too it otherwise. The home is clean and cosy. It's in a cluster of farm homes, in the middle of a lovely farm. Unspoiled country views from your private garden. There's public byways immediately outside the home (both are across active farmland, leads are needed!). Barbara very thoughtfully had a bowl of clean water waiting for my dog inside, and cream scones for me. The supplied waterproofs came in handy. There's plenty of household supplies to last during your stay, and you'll have all the usual cooking utensils. The location is perfect if you want to explore all of Cornwall - it's central and within a stones throw of the A30. You're no more than an hour from anywhere in Cornwall. Its near a large town with plenty of food/shops.

Perfect location. The cottage is spacious and excellently appointed, it has every thing you need, it's a home from. Christina and her partner are very friendly, responsive and very helpful. We would definitely stay her again.

The spacious 2 bed cottage was perfect for our family holiday. The kitchen is well equipped and the handy location meant that when we did eat out we were only around the corner from a great pub. The surrounding area is stunning with plenty of places to visit along the coast. Sarah was a fantastic host and even gave us some great local recommendations when we chatted in the mornings. Thank you to Sarah and family, we hope to visit again.

Jeanette was a lovely host, gave clear instructions of how to get to the cottage and we arrived to a very nice homemade cream tea! Upon arrival Jeanette gave lots of good recommendations of places near by to visit, a lot of which we did and we had a lovely 3 days. There are some beautiful walks in the area. The cottage was great - had a very homey feel to it. Comfortable bed, cosy fireplace, hot shower and everything you could need in the kitchen. The location was perfect, town and supermarkets close by but also felt very secluded and peaceful. Brilliant view of Brentor church from the garden, only a 15 minute walk away and a great place to visit during sunset. Thank you for the lovely stay Jeanette! We’d love to visit again soon :)

Trev's and Sarah's cottage is perfect for relaxing. Idyllic setting with everything that you need - cozy cottage with comfortable bed, well stocked kitchen, a lovely garden and convenient parking. Visited Looe, Polperro, Boscastle, Tintagel and Dartmoor - all within 30 minute to an hour from the cottage. Will definitely stay again if I'm in the area. Thank you for such a lovely stay xx

Communication with Mark was great. The house is really lovely, as described, and the oak extension is great. It is tastefully decorated and comfortable. We enjoyed our stay and our 3 year old grandchild slept well in the peace and quiet. Thank you Mark.... we definitely would like to return.

Fabulous peaceful stay in a beautiful location. Lots of wildlife to see and a beautiful view of the countryside. Very friendly welcome to the property and fab beach recommendations. We had a lovely stay here.

Kirsten's place is a gem, It is so peaceful and tranquil, the birds are the only thing you can hear and there are a lot of them. It was like an oasis of calm, the garden was beautiful and well tended, with plenty of seating. lovely gift on arrival, thank you. Inside the old cottage, it is modern and beautifully equipped. Everything we needed for our family break. the beds were amazingly comfy too. The area is in the middle of South Devon and easy to get to Bantham, Salcombe, Dartmouth etc. Thank you Kirsten!

fantastic host and great place to stay with a group, the host and co host are always on hand to help. I would recommend for anyone and definitely stay again.

We only had a short stay to break up a longer journey but really enjoyed our time in the thatched cottage and the village of Lustleigh. As well as being beautiful and nicely decorated, the cottage is well equipped and had everything we needed for our stay. The village itself is a great starting point for walks around the neighbouring area and within easy reach of many other places of interest. Wish we had been able to stay longer!

The photos & property description don’t do it justice. The games and pool areas were great for both adults and kids. The property is secluded and peaceful but near enough to local towns. Each of the Properties were well maintained and clean with the odd nice quirk. The Check in/ out with Bob and Sue was very easy and they had answers to our questions. For the 10 adults and seven kids in the party it suited our needs very well. We have already discussed a return visit

I spent the weekend at a charming cottage with my husband tucked away in a beautifully secluded area, and it was exactly the escape I needed. Surrounded by nature, the views were absolutely stunning—rolling hills, quiet woods, and skies that lit up with stars at night. It felt like being in our own little world, far removed from the noise of everyday life. Carol and her husband were very accommodating to us and ensured that we were happy with everything in our stay. Would definitely recommend to all and we would most definitely stay again!
