Once in the side road, go past the first turning on the right and take the second, steep lane, which has a red post box at its start. Keep wide on all the bends and keep going up until the road forks. Take the left fork into the private drive and Frondirion is on your left. Go through the five bar gate and up the slate driveway to the house.
