It was exceptionally difficult to find negative reviews of Plas Dderwen. Almost all the comments were 100% positive, and most of the negative ones dealt with small matters.

It seems most guests arrived by car. Some said that had they not had a car they would have felt very isolated. There are no convenient public transport options nearby, and the price of taxis all the way into Aberystwyth would quickly make for an expensive holiday.
