"Fronlas, Carmarthenshire
Despite its tiny size (only 2,000 people live here), the town of Llandeilo, on the edge of the Brecon Beacons national park, has just about everything you could wish for. Shops include a branch of fashion store Toast, there's a local chocolatier, and cosy pubs proliferate. It even boasts a swish new organic B&B, Fronlas. If you can drag yourself out into the surrounding countryside you'll find nature reserves, ruined castles, river valleys, deer parks and the National Botanic Garden of Wales all within a short drive or bike ride (Fronlas thoughtfully provides a bike and boot wash, drying room and lock-up for outdoor gear)."
