We had a lovely 4 night stay at Frondeg Bach. The cottage is quite secluded, so you will need to drive to most places. We loved New Quay and Aberaeron, which took less than half an hour to travel to. There are a few steps to the cottage and into the lounge so not recommended for anyone with mobility issues. The beds were super comfy and we settled in straightaway. The kitchen was well equipped and the heating warmed the cottage up quickly. The enclosed outdoor area was appreciated by our dog and in warmer times I’d imagine that the humans would love it too! If we were holidaying in the area again we would definitely rebook.
