We stayed at the Fron to accommodate a four generation family gathering. Our visit was perfect the standard of facilities and cleanliness was second to none and Debbie and the team were helpful and accommodating. I have stayed in numerous holiday cottages over the years for family get togethers and this was by far the best most luxurious cottage. I would certainly look to book future trips here.

Had a wonderful time with 3 generations of our family at the Fron. The house has everything that you need for a really enjoyable stay. We loved the pool room and as the weather wasn't great we spent quite a bit of time in it. The hot tub and sunbed area were amazing with spectacular views all around. The photos on the website really do not do it ju stice. Thank you once again Debbie for a memorable holiday, we will certainly be back.

An absolutely stunning location with fabulous views. Didn't really want to leave the garden, plenty of space to sit and relax and enjoy the views with an evening tipple! Debbie was a fantastic host, nothing was too much trouble. The welcome pack on arrival was a lovely touch and also included one for our four legged friends. Hot tub and games room was a bonus as was the sauna. We will definitely make a return visit to The Fron.

Mark

Beautiful relaxing place

Deb

Stunning house in an idyllic setting with the best views - perfect for a big family get together. Beautifully appointed with everything you could ever need all thoughtfully provided, from ample kindling and firewood, to a Welcome basket stuffed full of tasty goodies (and one for the dog too!) in the enormous well stocked kitchen. Fantastic hot tub / pool table / sauna - the list goes on, and good walks pretty much from the front gate. Incredible restoration job. We loved the Fron!

Simone

The Fron was perfect. Amazingly well equipped to cater for a group of 11 (8 adults & 3 children) All the beds were super comfortable and the underfloor heating was delicious. The Fron is fairly out of the way but super quiet and set in the most amazing countryside for walks. The owners were on hand but not intrusive, made sure the heating fuel was stocked, rubbish removed regularly and the hot tub was clean. We loved the sauna and had lots of fun setting up our pool league in the games room.

Paul

Fabulous spacious house, well presented, and in a beautiful location. Debbie and David are excellent attentive hosts. Perfect spot for enjoying the gorgeous countryside or just chillin and relaxing. Superb kitchen, well stocked for entertaining. Loved it.

Stuart

A stunning house in an amazing location! I don't see how you could be disappointed with this place. The only downside is it's so nice, you don't want to leave it to explore!! The place is huge and easily accommodates the maximum number of people it's advertised for in total comfort and with room to spare!

Tina
