After dinner, retire to the sumptuous seating in the sitting room, also benefitting from sea views, and select a much-loved film from the TV as the evening’s entertainment; on cooler evenings, light the woodburning stove for a relaxing ambience. Completing the ground floor is a handy utility with a washing machine, a cloakroom, and a stylish shower room, where you can freshen up after spending a day at the beach.

Follow the stairs up to the first floor, where a beautiful bathroom awaits, where you can freshen up with your choice of bath or shower, before choosing from one of four well-appointed bedrooms, a king-size with en-suite, a double with en-suite, a twin bedroom and one super king-sized bedroom, which can be converted into twin beds on request, with elevated coastal views. Explore the town, where you can treat your loved ones to a meal at the welcoming Pepper Pot Bar and Grill, The Sea Horse Inn, or The Old Watch House, embark on a fishing trip to hook your catch of the day, spend a day on the golden sands of New Quay Beach, visit the Cardigan Bay Marine Wildlife Centre, or experience an unforgettable day with a dolphin watching boat trip.

Fronwig Reviews

The owner was very nice and met us at the property and left contact numbers should we needed them. The property was spacious and homely, outside was lovely with stunning views that we never got board looking at any time of day. The resort is very friendly and lots of places to sit and soak up the surroundings especially when Dolphin spotting. One or two things in the cottage could have been better such as the toaster not working and no frying pans very very minor.
Absolutely superb property in every way. A tastefully renovated property which is spacious, clean, comfortable and well equipped, the owner has thought of everything. The views over the bay and proximity to the beach could not be better. We rented the property with our three grown up children and their families and thoroughly enjoyed our time in New Quay. I would have no hesitation in staying here again, one of the best holiday properties we have ever rented. September 2026
Lovely property with everything you need and ideal location. Cleaners were running late so didnt get in the property until gone 6pm which made lost time sadly but apart from that its a lovely place to stay
We did not find our initial interaction regarding parking arrangements particularly welcoming. Hot tub out of use due to hosepipe ban, but we were not told this, and as where we live there is no ban so how are we meant to know?! No hair dryer or tea towels, quite a lot of dust around.. only great thing was the view which was amazing!
Andrew
Great place to stay. A very well appointed property with 3 excellent double bedrooms and an additional twin room. Plenty of bathrooms and a downstairs toilet and shower room. Spacious and well appointed kitchen and a nice lounge area. The view outside is exceptional both from the patio and the lower garden. New Quay is a small, friendly resort with enough places to eat and drink
We had a fabulous stay at Fronwig, perfect location, just a stroll to cafes, bars, restaurants & harbour. The view was unbeatable & the summer house a perk for those breezy days which still allowed dolphin spotting seen daily from the garden The house suited our 7 adult family from 3 generations & puppy, lots of options for bathrooms! The parking spot accommodated our sons small car but unsuitable for the other 2 larger vehicles but on street parking available out of season. If we all get together again for a family holiday this would definitely but our number one choice of accommodation. Thank you Fronwig!
The positive aspect of this property is the decking & garden aspect. It is good quality & has excellent views. The summer house is first class, as are the outside chairs & tables. Unfortunately, thats where the luxury ends. The property was not clean. When I first enter a property I go around the touch points & clean them. These were not clean. The radiators in the bathrooms were black with dust & the grouting behind the sink in the kitchen needs attention. Also, the paintwork needs cleaning doors, banister etc. The property also needs some TLC in the form of decorating. Last but not least the toilet brush in the bathroom we used was disgustingly filthy. I don't expect this any of this in any property & least of all one which is described as 'luxury'. I did look in the hot tub & unsurprisingly this was also not clean. I have made the owner of the property aware of the issues. It was a great shame as it is in great location & could be a lovely holiday get away.

We had an amazing stay in Fronwig, New Quay. Fronwig is absolutely perfect spacious, spotlessly clean and very well equipped with everything we needed. The location couldnt have been better, just a short walk to the bars, restaurants, shops and the beach. One of the highlights was seeing porpoises every morning and evening from the beach and Fronwig , which made the trip even more special. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting New Quay. Thank you!
We got lucky with the weather but this was the perfect pad for a beautiful stay in New Quay. The property is well equipped, spacious, clean and in a spectacular location. The owner pulled out all the stops and communicated well to help the stay go without a hitch. There is nothing I would change and Ive already recommended the place to all who would listen. Very likely to revisit sometime soon.

Andrew
Beautiful accommodation with amazing views, Very well equipped for all your needs, extremely clean, parking for 1 car & excellent communication with the host. Saw dolphins every day, 1 minute walk into town. Would definitely recommend this property 100, & would stay here again.
Jeremy
Fantastic property both in location and facilities. Ideally placed to walk into the town and the beach in a minute or two. The views from the patio and the lawn Summer house are fantastic and made all the more special being able to watch the dolphins swimming around in the bay. The house is well equipped in all respects and provided fantastic accommodation for 4 adults and 2 teenagers. If we return to New Quay this house would be our first choice
We had a fantastic stay and it was very easy to extend the number of nights all rooms and facilities were great !
Deborah

Richard
The property, garden and views are spectacular. Its central location is perfect. The beds and sofas are very comfortable always important to us for a relaxing stay. Im sure we will be back.
Nicola
Fantastic property and location. Right in the centre, near the beach, harbour, pubs and shops. Our family, of all ages enjoyed the stay, even our dog. Were looking to come back again. The parking space is tight and wasnt big enough for any of our cars, which wasnt a problem as we unloaded the cars and left them on a car park for the duration of our stay with a weeks ticket on and they didnt move until we left as we could walk everywhere we wanted to go. Thank you
Excellent clean well equipped property with everything we needed in a fantastic location, wonderful views over the bay and all amenities very close by we couldn't fault it. A fantastic holiday for a family group of different generations Thank you
Melanie

Stunning property with every conceivable facility. The location is perfect and surprisingly quiet in the height of peak season considering its proximity to the centre of New Quay
Absolutely superb from initial arrival where the property was spotless top to bottom, information was perfect regarding the property and the location was amazing. Highly recommend staying here and we will stay again. The hosts communicated everything we needed and went above and beyond in levels of service . 1010 Gordon 12.0715.07

It began as an early 1100s timber motte and bailey, was rebuilt in stone and was captured, destroyed and rebuilt many times.
