This lovely cottage is down a quiet lane in the village of Heacham and provided a great base for exploring North Norfolk.. The owners have made sure the house is very clean and comfortable and there's a good selection of board games, jigsaws and DVDs provided should you find yourself stuck indoors on a rainy day. we were very lucky with the weather so were able to take advantage of the garden area which is well set up with a bench, dining furniture for 6 and a barbecue. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend this accommodation

This was my second visit to Driftwood Cottage.. Perfect place to stay, everything you need and more is in the cottage you've very well catered for.
Great location, quite village, close to the beach and the locals are all friendly.
I'm sure I'll be back for a third time as there is still plenty to see and do in that part of Norfolk.

We spent another fantastic family holiday at this cottage.. Warm, welcoming and clean. The children loved watching the dvds and playing with the board games at the cottage. It was great to be able to visit family nearby. Highly recommend the fish and chips, less than 5 mins walk away. Also there is a tesco mini a short walk away which was really handy for last minute snacks and meals after a day exploring. Can't wait to come back.

Beautiful well equipped traditional Norfolk cottage.. Everything you could need was available. Quiet location if you wanted a peaceful break.
The gravel road to the property isn't the easiest to access if you had a big vehicle and the pull in parking isn't the biggest of off-road parking. Sometimes a motor bike and cars weren't always well parked at the end of the road.
It would not put us off staying here again and would definitely recommend it.
We love the North Norfolk area having stopped here on many occasions.

We had a fantastic time visiting family in Norfolk. This cottage is in a perfect location for us. A small tesco round the corner, great chippy and Indian restaurant only a street away. Heacham is a lovely quite village with a great playground for our children and the beach is not too far away. You could walk to the beach from the cottage but in February we decided to drive down because it was so cold outside. There is a log burner fire in the sitting room, lots of blankets and a great selection of dvds to watch for a cosy night in. Beautifully decorated with a real coastal feel. Dishwasher and washing machine were a great bonus for our family of five. The kitchen is well equipped although I couldn't find any egg cups (I have noticed on previous holidays that a lot of holiday homes don't have egg cups, not sure why) can't wait to come back again in the summer and enjoy a bbq in the garden. We had a fabulous holiday and will definitely be back.

What a gem! This thoroughly lovely cottage manages to be both modern and cosy and was an ideal winter getaway. Beautifully decorated and furnished, with lots of comfy cushions and cosy blankets. Which, weren't really needed as the heating was fantastic, not to mention the lovely log burner. We visited the week before Christmas and arriving to find the cottage decorated with a tree, lights and little other festive touches made it really special.
A pub with a micro brewery round the corner, fantastic farm shop at Norfolk Lavender (and butchers in the village) plus other great pubs nearby with a range of food and local ales on offer,meant we were spoiled for choice between eating in and going out.
We did several walks - one from the house itself (to Hunstanton along the beach and on to Holme next the sea). The coastal hopper bus is very useful.
If you have children, you'll love the selection of board games and mini table football. The 4-player connect 4 was good fun, even for two people!
We absolutely loved our stay at 11, The Drift and highly recommend it to couples, friends and families alike.

Gorgeous well equipped cottage, one of the best we've stayed in. Great location for exploring the North Norfolk coast, brilliant for bird watchers and nature lovers. Just wish we could've stayed longer.

The cottage is a gorgeous property, very well equipped with plenty of delightful furnishings.. There was also a generous welcome pack waiting for us which was a lovely surprise. The owner also messaged us to make sure we had settled in ok which we felt was a nice touch. No complaints whatsoever, it was a perfect place to stay and would love to visit again.

11 The Drift is a wonderful cottage, offering a good level of comfort with lovely decor.. A welcome hamper was well received, we were also impressed with the cleanliness of the cottage. Would highly recommend and stay again. The area has lots of activities to suit all the family. The fair & Sealife centre in Hunstanton was a big hit with the children, and so too was the animal park at Norfolk Lavender, Heacham. This is also a great place for gifts, plants and local food. A real delight is a visit to Drove Orchards farm, the shop has some wonderful local produce which is a must for everyone. Would highly recommend Eric's fish & chips, located next to Drove Farm shop. The beaches offer something for everyone, from lively seaside to tranquil escape & lots of wildlife.
