Guests say

Guests are enamoured with Fronwig's stunning views, prime location, and beautifully decorated spaces. The property's cleanliness and the owners' hospitality are highly praised. While some minor suggestions for additional comforts and kitchen equipment are noted, the overall experience is one of relaxation and enjoyment, with special mentions of the garden and the joy of dolphin sightings.

Reviews consistently mention the property being clean and well-maintained, with one review specifically noting it was 'spotless top to bottom'. This suggests a very high level of cleanliness.

The location is described as excellent, with easy access to the beach and local amenities. The views and the ability to see dolphins are highlighted as exceptional features.

Comfort is frequently mentioned positively, with references to 'comfy beds' and a 'lovely house'. However, one review suggested the need for more 'home from home comforts', slightly impacting the score.

Facilities like the hot tub and garden are appreciated, but there are suggestions for better kitchen equipment and more basics. The hot tub preparation time is also noted.

The welcome package is mentioned in varying lights, with some guests finding it delightful and others underwhelmed. It's important to note that such gestures, while appreciated, are not guaranteed.

About this property

A former sea captain's home, Fronwig is a stunning, four-bedroom home, perched in the popular seaside town of New Quay, Ceredigion. Enjoying a superb location overlooking the beach with exceptional sea views from its contemporary interior and patio/garden, Fronwig is a fabulous pet-friendly choice for a group or family of eight seeking a luxury escape. The property benefits from one off-road parking space with an electric car charging point, and a generous front garden with a summerhouse, furniture and a wood-fired hot tub, so you can enjoy meals alfresco with a backdrop of the harbour where the resident dolphin can frequently be seen playing in the water. Be welcomed into the spacious kitchen/diner, where you can conjure up your best dishes, ready to serve at the dining table which offers a lovely outlook of the sea. After dinner, retire to the sumptuous seating in the sitting room, also benefitting from sea views, and select a much-loved film from the TV as the evening’s entertainment; on cooler evenings, light the woodburning stove for a relaxing ambience. Completing the ground floor is a handy utility with a washing machine, a cloakroom, and a stylish shower room, where you can freshen up after spending a day at the beach. Follow the stairs up to the first floor, where a beautiful bathroom awaits, where you can freshen up with your choice of bath or shower, before choosing from one of four well-appointed bedrooms, a king-size with en-suite, a double with en-suite, and two twin bedrooms, with elevated coastal views. Explore the town, where you can treat your loved ones to a meal at the welcoming Pepper Pot Bar and Grill, The Sea Horse Inn, or The Old Watch House, embark on a fishing trip to hook your catch of the day, spend a day on the golden sands of New Quay Beach, visit the Cardigan Bay Marine Wildlife Centre, or experience an unforgettable day with a dolphin watching boat trip. Next stop is Aberaeron, where you can hike along the Allt y Graig Woodland Trail, take a dip in the Aberaeron Swimming Pool, dine at The Hive and The Stubborn Duckling, or spend an afternoon at the beach. Venture further to Cardigan, home to the Welsh Wildlife Centre, a remarkable castle, and the Teifi Marshes Nature Reserve. For a luxury getaway, choose Fronwig.

It is easy to see why this charming seaside town is one of the most popular holiday resorts all year round, with its stroll along the sea edge and breathtaking scenery. Boat tours are a fantastic way to see the playful dolphins, seals, and other rare animals and birds that make their home in the bay's protective waters, and there is a lovely selection of gift shops, tea rooms, restaurants, and pubs to meet your every need. With professional instruction on hand, your group can learn to sail, kayak, windsurf, or operate a power boat. You can walk in the footsteps of the famous poet Dylan Thomas, who found inspiration for many of his works in New Quay, including "Quite Early One Morning." Aberaeron, a vibrant Georgian harbour town full of colourful cottages and a wide variety of eateries and inns, is only 11 kilometres away. Wonderful sandy beaches, scenic countryside walks, and the outstanding Devil's Bridge, famous for its three bridges, narrow gauge steam railway, and cascading waterfalls, can all be found in this part of Wales. It's the ideal home base for memorable vacations any time of year.

  • Claire

    Bedrooms bright and airy Bathrooms smelly, maybe issues with drains, the far bedroom we didn’t use as en-suite smelt. Describes an adjoining bedroom with en-suite, there wasn’t one. No oven dishes for cooking which made doing family meals very difficult.

  • David

    Stunning property, stunning views, everything that you need for a enjoyable stay in New Quay.

  • Helen
