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.
