This stunning family home in its perfect location in Solva has twice provided me and my sons and their partners with a superb break. Our group are united in our feelings of a truly positive experience. It's warm and spacious, and quiet, with a fully equipped kitchen but is also close to excellent pub food choices. The large lounge provided an HQ enabling our family to catch-up in one place, while relaxing to the max.The Admin - on both our stays - was straightforward and efficient.This reviewer is in his 70's, and all others in our group are in their 30's. I don't award such praise glibly but having arranged quite a few family holidays I know good value when I see it. Well Done to Llys Aber.

Llys Aber was a fantastic holiday cottage in the best of Solva harbour, a perfect location to explore all the surroundings areas. The cottage was furnished with absolutely everything we needed, with extras that went above and beyond. The owners welcomed us too, and provided their contact details if we needed everything. We had a great holiday in the cottage.
