We loved our stay at Driftwood. It suited me, my son, and our dog very well. It’s a small cottage but has everything you need, was extremely clean, and very comfortable. The back terrace is especially lovely in the mornings when it gets full sun. Also good for watching the moon over the estuary into the evenings! It’s a little outside the main village, but the ten minute walk along the estuary into Aberdyfi is really nice and became a key part of our daily holiday routine. You can also walk into town by a footpath along the side of the hill. The owners/hosts are also great on the communication side of things.All in all, a perfect base for a seaside holiday.

Lovely little cottage in a quieter but convenient side of Aberdyfi. Good views from the decking at the back and comfy beds.

We enjoyed the views, cafes and Pubs in Aberdovey although the local general store now seems to be closed so food shopping limited.The Driftwood cottage was a bit disappointing. The stairs were more difficult than we expected as is access to the rear "garden" platform. Hence we cannot generally recommend to others. More attention to detail is needed with regards to cleanliness and the information file provided.
