With commanding views and walking and bird watching, this is the perfect location for family and friends to explore the wonders of South West Wales, mid-way between the beautiful Brecon Beacons National Park and the spectacular Gower Peninsula (justifiably Britain’s first Designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty), famed for its award-winning beaches and dramatic landscapes.
Ty Howton is a tastefully renovated, detached bungalow offering a very good finish throughout. It has been thoughtfully appointed with an open-plan kitchen and dining area where you can enjoy a special family meal. The spacious living room, with its focal wood burner, provides the perfect place in which to relax and unwind after a busy day. On fine summer days, light the barbecue and enjoy some al fresco dining whilst taking in the panoramic views of the valley below.
With a choice of footpaths from your doorstep you might wish, on certain days, to travel no further than your feet will take you. The Cwm Clydach RSPB Nature Reserve is within easy walking distance from Ty Howton and is a must for wildlife enthusiasts. If you’re lucky you might spot a grey wagtail, a dipper or even an otter as you follow the course of the river along the valley floor. The local pub is an inviting place where you can enjoy a mid-walk meal or pint.
Further afield, a scenic drive northwards over moorland leads to the stunning Towy Valley with its majestic castles, meandering river and the charming, picture postcard town of Llandeilo, 17 miles. Waterfall Country in the Neath Valley is also well worth a visit.

Overall, an excellent holiday cottage.
Overall, an excellent holiday cottage. Spotlessly clean, very well equipped, with beautiful views. The lemon cake, waiting for us on the table, was delicious, and the welcome pack of essentials was much appreciated. The house is much bigger than it appears on the photos, our family group is 5 adults, plus a dog, and we had plenty of room.The local pub was great. The food was excellent and very good valueWe would definitely recommend Ty Howton to family and friends.
We stayed for just a few days but could have stayed forever.
Beautiful views of the surrounding hills and valleys, so peaceful and relaxing.
The owner came to see if we were happy with everything on our arrival then left us to enjoy our stay.
We were given a beautiful welcome pack of cake beer milk..... so thoughtful. Thank you.
The bungalow is comfortable without being pretentious. Our dog loved the garden and we weren't concerned that he would spoil anything so we relaxed
We will certainly recommend to anyone and will definitely return
