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.
