Information

Drift is an old boathouse and possibly the oldest lifeboat station in England.  The charming cottage is right on the waterfront with ever-changing views and sunsets. Turnchapel is a beautiful village with two superb pubs and a café.

Guests have access to the entire property. This includes a decked terrace, two large balconies, and a private garden leading to a floating pontoon and steps down to a secluded pebble beach – all exclusively for guests.

Drift is very cosily decorated with comfortable beds, a wide range of furniture, an open fire, and it is full of historical artefacts.

Paddleboards and kayaks are available for guests at their own risk. There is a good selection of outdoor games, and a crabbing kit is in the garden beach hut.

For rainy days there is an open fire from a Victorian warship, books, games, Netflix and a Sonos music system.

Good Wi-Fi.

The property was formally a boathouse for the local style of “cutter” pilot boats. It has been completely renovated to a high standard but maintains its original features, including wooden beams.

After watching the sunset in front of the fire pit you can fall asleep listening to the waves. The scenery is never the same with ships and boats coming and going.

There are plenty of beaches, walks, ferries and activities nearby.

Dogs welcome.

Monday and Friday check-ins.
