The cottage is often described as cosy and comfortable, with a warm welcoming atmosphere and comfortable beds. However, some guests find the space more suitable for two people rather than four, and the steep stairs may pose a challenge for some.

Warm, (it was November) welcoming and comfortable. Had everything we needed. Things that were particularly good - great shower, nice bedding (duvets and pillows) good size fridge and a smart TV. Nice quiet location.

We had a lovely week in Driftwood. We found the location perfect as you are slightly out of the village, but near enough for a nice walk down. The little train station at Penhelig is really useful as you can travel out and about without driving.The cottage was clean, and had all we needed - the kitchen was especially well stocked. Overall, a lovely stay in a warm, welcoming cottage.

The cottage is lovely and very cosy. The location of this property was perfect with some shops and restaurants down the road. We took our dog and struggled with the raised garden area, this is more of a patio area which is shared with the other houses which wasnt stated when we booked. Overall we had a lovely little break for my daughters birthday and would return.
