Nestled in woodland just a few miles inland from the wonderfully rugged and sandy coast of the Pembrokeshire National Park, this pretty cluster of whitewashed stone and Welsh slate cottages are a haven of family-friendly tranquillity. The handy list of nursery kit, play area and clutch of friendly farm animals makes them especially well suited to families with little ones, whilst theres a warm welcome for the family pet too.
The 32-acre estate is home to just five cottages so, even when fully booked, often the only time you'll catch sight of other guests is during one of the regular animal feeding and egg collecting sessions. These have toddlers squealing with delight as they experience real life 'Old MacDonald's farm' and are invited to collect eggs or hand feed the friendly brood of chickens, pigs, donkeys, rabbits and guinea pigs. Apart from that, Fron Fawr is best described as a fabulously tranquil slice of rural life, only a short drive from the coast, and the perfect place to let little ones roam free. Plus, for those parents who still hanker after a bit of romance, there's little to beat cosying up in the hot tub under the blanket of stars the almost zero light pollution allows for... keeping one ear out for the baby monitor of course
Accommodation Overview
Taliesin: is one of the smaller cottages on the estate and sleeps up to five guests in three bedrooms comprising a downstairs single and, upstairs, a king-sized double and a small bunk room.
Downstairs is a newly refurbished (for 2015) fully tiled shower room with double width rainfall shower cubicle (no bath) and underfloor heating along, with the aforementioned single bedroom. The large sitting room offers fantastic views over the countryside and patio doors open out onto an enclosed, small balcony. There is a flat screen TV with freeview channels and a DVD player. Four steps lead from the sitting room up into the breakfast/dining kitchen which has a full size electric oven with ceramic hob, microwave, dishwasher, fridge, freezer, washing machine, tumble dryer and breakfast bar. Please note: stairgates can be fitted to the lower level sitting room to prevent little ones (or pets!) wandering.
Upstairs are the main bedroom with kingsize bed and wash hand basin, and the third, very small bedroom which has a set of bunk beds, which are best suited to children as they are 2ft 6 wide.
Outside, Taliesin has it’s own private enclosed garden with paved patio and garden furniture and lawned garden area, bordered by a beech hedge for added privacy.
The cottages are nestled in 20 acres of grounds around four miles from the village of Boncath in unspoilt North Pembrokeshire. The Nag's Head in Abercych (2.5miles away) has a great reputation for good food and ale, as well as having a lovely outdoor play area for kids. Newcastle Emlyn which has a good selection of shops, banks, bistros, cafes, delis and a beauty salon offering a range of treatments is around five miles from the cottages. Some of the region's best restaurants are also fairly close to the cottages. The Harbourmaster at Aberaeron, Llys Meddyg in nearby Newport, and the Penrhiwllan gastro-pub, are all well worth arranging babysitting for. A little further afield at around 45mins drive, Folly Farm is a brilliant wet weather day out thanks to its petting farm, tractor tours, indoor Victorian fun fair, soft play and huge adventure play zone, most of which are under cover. For boutique shopping, art galleries and ceramic painting cafe, visit the pretty town of Narbeth... try to resist the chocolate factory tours nearby!

Immaculate accommodation with lovely touches (welsh cakes, jam, soaps, dog biscuits), helpful biscuits on what to do (wet and dry), excellent swimming pool, games room, animals and soft play. We had trouble to think of any improvements.Review dated 04/06/2011
