This fabulous luxurious farmhouse set high in the most glorious Welsh rolling countryside in Mid Wales at the foot of The Epynt Mountain and on the edge of The Brecon Beacons National Park, situated between Builth Wells and Llanwrtyd Wells and Llangammach Wells, the Spa Towns fashionable in the early 1900's. The house is in an idyllic very private location, tranquil and peaceful - the perfect place for a get-away holiday with a group of friends and family.
Originally built in c. 1750 The Fron has been renovated to an exceptionally high standard retaining many of the original features, the great oak beams and exposed roof trusses, the wood floors, solid oak doors and windows, all superbly hand made by local craftsmen using locally sourced wood. The bedrooms, most of which have en-suite bathrooms are all luxurious with lovely linens, new fluffy towels and complimentary soaps.
There are several local pubs serving food - the closest would be The Trout Inn in Beulah or The Prince Llewellyn Inn in Cilmery, or try The Red Lion in Llanafan Fawr. For a special meal try The Lake Hotel in Llangammach but be sure to book - also there is a lovely Spa there for a nice bit of pampering. Visit The Abergwesyn Valley, The Elan Valley with the wonderful scenic drives around the great reservoirs and lakes, The Cambrian Hills and The Crychan Forest where there are picnic sites and mountain bike trails. This is the perfect place to stay for any events held at The Royal Welsh Showground.
