On fine summer days, light the barbecue and enjoy some al fresco dining whilst taking in the panoramic views of the valley below.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Ty Howton. The instructions on how to get to our cottage were very helpful and easy to follow. We particularly appreciated not just the teabags, coffee, milk and bottle of wine that had been left but especially the homemade cake one of the owners brought us. Ty Howton was homely and spotlessly clean, we found it easy to boost the heating as necessary and using the wood burner was a special treat.
