Tim is a very proud Welsh man and Jools has Welsh ancestry. We both love the beauty of our Welsh landscape, the strong local Welsh culture, and the incredibly warm Welsh local community. We also enjoy the creativity and individuality of Cardigan and the strong local care and focus on nature and a sustainable future.
After a long and successful career as an Architect, Tim was up for a change of pace. He threw himself into making our Fronteifi dream come true, from original concept, design and planning through to the build. He continues his professional registration but now spends more time outdoors than he does on the drawing board.
Everything starts with a dream, and many dreams flitter aways as quickly as they arrived. But our dream stuck and our post-COVID world seemed like the right time to turn our dream into a reality. So we made it happen. Tim officially retired as an architect, Jools changed jobs, we moved house and we started sketching our ideas onto paper.
Inspired by the ever-changing tides, the shifting light of sunrise and sunset over the river, the surrounding wildlife, and the star-filled skies, we sketched, reworked, designed, and redesigned until we were confident we could craft the perfect experience for our guests. Every decision we made was shaped by the three defining aspects of our Fronteifi life:
• The land (Tir)
• The river (Afon)
• The stars (Seren)
Provide an experience
Connecting guests with nature, relaxation, activity and wellness, and providing the best experience possible.
Be good to the planet
Putting our planet first and positively impacting our environment.
Local first
Putting our beautiful local area at the heart of all we do.
We care passionately about our environment and have reduced the carbon footprint of our build and operation as much as possible. We recycled building materials on-site, installed a range of energy saving measures including innovative ground screw foundations, sheep’s wool insulation, heat pumps, solar, eco-stoves, electric car charging and edible planting.
We’re less than a mile from Cardigan Town just off the A484.
