Cwm Howell is a large traditional yet modernised, detached stone farmhouse built in 1864. It retains many characterful, original features. The house lies nestled into the hillside surrounded by over 100 acres of farmland and boasts stunning views over the Towy Valley. The property is a short drive from the Historic Market Towns of Carmarthen and Llandeilo, both of which have a range of boutiques and eateries. It is conveniently located for easy access to the beaches and coastline of West Wales and Gower, also Aberglasney and National Botanical Gardens of Wales.  In the grounds of Cwm Howell there is a five seater outdoor hot springs hot tub, also a feature duck pond and running stream adjacent to the house and garden. The house sleeps 14 people comfortably, maximum of 12 adults.

The superb views take in the Towy Valley and far beyond on a clear day.  Red kites and Buzzards riding the thermals are a common sight.  The resident peacocks and peahens wander the grounds hoping for a scrap of food (their favourite however, being unsalted peanuts). There is a sun patio and a number of spots in the garden which offer opportunity to soak up the tranquil atmosphere, or take shade on a hot day. After a day of exploring the surrounding countryside or visiting some of the many local castles, relax, while cooking on the barbeque, or sitting in front of a wood burning fire, or enjoy a film or sporting events on the 47 inch 3D flat screen TV and surround sound Blu-ray DVD player.
