Fronhaul

Here is peace, wildlife, the seductive Preseli hills and, next door, charming Beat (who will barbecue you freshly-caught trout in any weather) and artist Elizabeth – both Swiss. You’ll find a welcome cocktail and basics for the kitchen handily waiting – you’ll even find your own flag run up the flagpole – wherever you come from! The delightful space is all on one level with heated Welsh flags underfoot, a comfy sofa and Beat’s handmade furniture. Elizabeth’s (very good) paintings dot the rough, whitewashed walls, a book shelf bursts with good books and masses of National Geographics, and the wood-burner belts out the heat. A well-equipped stainless steel kitchen with a Siemens coffee maker will delight the fussiest of cooks (bring your beans!). Sleep peacefully on a deep mattress with crisp sheets, wake to birdsong from the pretty garden which is yours to wander – among the chickens and ducks. Discover a beautiful wooden cabin and a summer house (make yourselves at home) or slumber in a hammock by the gurgling stream. You can walk your socks off all day and return to a proper hot bath. Amiably relaxed and informal.
