Full Details
Closest Visitwales 4 star accommodation, with residential bar and restaurant , to The National Botanical Garden of Wales with the Historic Aberglasney Gardens 10 minutes away, offering its visitors hotel-style comfort and facilities of a very high standard, with a genuinely friendly, informal and personal touch. Ty Castell is situarted on the banks of the river Towy and in the heart of the Carmarthenshire countryside, on the road to Llandeilo and not far from the Cothi Bridge, in a quiet little village called Nantgaredig. Once a farmhouse, Ty Castell, now a guest-house opens its doors to weekenders, garden enthusiasts, rural explorers, walkers, cyclists and fishermen (the sea-trout and salmon fishing here is superb and free permits are available). Ty Castell has a super little bar, tucked away at the side of the conservatory restaurant with views out across the river.
The rooms are modern and extremely comfortable with gleaming bathroom en-suites, and beds with crisp, luxurious linen. From the windows, you can enjoy yet more views of the river. Throwing the windows open, a lovely fragrance of countryside, greenery, fresh air and wild Wales enters your room. Glorious! At Ty Castell we care very much about good food and utilese local meat and veg produce from a nearby farm and support Buy Local.
As the evening shadows draw across the countryside, candles are lit in the restaurant, Charming and romantic! In the growing dusk you may be lucky enough to see bats, or an otter, or a barn owl silently surveying his territory, sights that restore the soul and make you feel part of Nature and a real world again. Fishing is very much part of the local culture in West Wales, so little wonder that Ty Castell has a kingfisher as its symbol. Spend some time in the solitude and peace of this green, remote region where dairy herds graze on some of the best grassland in the British Isles; where the peregrine, red kite and buzzard live; where campion thrives at the side of winding lanes; and where steam trains run on rails that thread through ancient Celtic woodland. And what better base for your Welsh peregrinations than Ty Castell the quiet guest-house where you will truly find a welcome in the valley.
