Excellent facilities, safe and quiet environment, friendly yet inobtrusive owners nearby. Bring the pile of books you always mean to read, bring your favourite jigsaw, that unfinished embroidery , that model - here is your chance to enjoy me time!

We use it as an exceptionally comfortable 'base' when visiting family in the area. But Cwm Derw Cottage is an ideal, all season holiday cottage too, for those wishing to explore the area. Excellent.
