Spa & Wellbeing Facilities:
4 wood-fired hot tubs & sauna at Fron Farm; a jacuzzi, a sauna and heated pool inside a beautiful old barn at Fron Isaf. These are available to you whichever venue you sleep at. Therapies: Massage with the amazing Beth Onnen & Reflexology with the talented Debbie Wasson.
My stay in the roundhouse was most memorable; in part due its circular form, which was a new experience for me. This shape gives the interior a special atmosphere.
The craftsmanship was most impressive, as it was beautifully constructed using considerable skill.
The kitchen and bathroom, which included a shower were both of a nice size, not being cramped.
I enjoyed using the provided wood burner, complete with a supply of logs. This was a great asset, as the weather in May was rather cool during my visit. It warmed up very quickly too!
