It was a real home from home and in a location that all attractions were only a 30-40 minute drive away.

It suited all three generations of our family . The downstairs bedroom was great for the person with arthritis and the house contained everything we needed with plenty of room to be in different rooms if we wanted to, but also a lovely large lounge with lots of cumfortable settees and chairs for us all to be together. LLwyn Derw is near the beach and lots of interesting places are nearby. The owner could not have been more helpful and even helped me unpack the car ( I arrived there first and I am the one with arthritis). I would thoroughly recommend this property.
