Nestled in the picturesque village of Newport, Frondeg is the perfect base to explore the breath-taking Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. This characterful, stone-fronted, single-storey holiday home has a welcoming interior, adorned with charming original features including exposed beams and inglenook fireplace that pay homage to its early 19th-century history. With modern comforts alongside its unique charm, Frondeg is a truly memorable home-from-home. Located on a quiet side street, with two bedrooms and a spacious, sunny back garden, Frondeg offers a peaceful get-away whilst being only a few minutes' walk from Newport's shops. The estuary and beach are a short stroll through the village, making it an ideal base for small groups, families or couples looking to enjoy Newport and further afield. After a day of exploration, relax and unwind in the cosy sitting room in front of the crackling woodburning stove, or savour the last of the evening birdsong outside in the generous, south facing garden with a glass of wine in hand. Benefit from Newport's weekly street market and the shops on your doorstep to buy local produce and rustle up delicious meals in the well-equipped kitchen. Or treat yourself to food at one of the many local eateries; why not have breakfast at Blas at Fronlas, lunch at Pwnc and round off your day with dinner at the Golden Lion or The Canteen.There is something to cater to all tastes. Take advantage of the town’s excellent coastal location and soak up sunny days on the glorious shores of Newport Beach with its view across to Dinas Head or walk along the Pembrokeshire Coast Path to spot seals and marvel at unbeatable views of the Irish Sea. Westwards will take you to the characterful Cwm-Yr-Eglwys, with a circular walk around Dinas Head via Pwllgwaelod Beach. Or you can head east towards Cardigan and admire the stunning coastline from a new perspective with a boat trip to spot the resident bottle-nosed dolphins. For keen hikers, there are the majestic Preseli Hills to explore, with the impressive Carningli forming the backdrop to Newport. For nature lovers, there is an abundance of wildlife: paths through Newport lead directly to the Nevern Estuary which is teeming with birdlife - as well as being home to ancient stepping-stones and a nearby Neolithic burial chamber! If a taste of history appeals, make yourself at home at Castell Henllys, a nearby reconstructed Iron Age hill fort, or visit Cardigan's impressive 12th-century castle, the birthplace of the Welsh Eisteddfod in 1176. With wonderful wildlife, beaches, history and scenery on your doorstep, a stay at Frondeg will create memories to cherish!

We had a nice time at Frondeg and wish we could stay for longer. The instructions and all facilities in the cottage were spot on. Highly recommended to anyone who likes traditional homes full of character. Molly the property owner was very helpful and made sure we were looked after throughout our stay. Thank you for making our summer holiday so special. Alexandre Anna, London

We think however that it would be improved if a washing machine and an external line for drying were provided. We also found the living room dark and perhaps the lighting could also be improved.
Lois
We had everything we needed. Information was very clear regarding basics such as central heating and recycling, and we felt very welcome. We enjoyed the village location and also the peace and quiet.
