Towy Valley Retreat nestles within the small hamlet of Abergwili near the market town of Carmarthen. It lies close to the Pembrokeshire and Carmarthenshire borders, making this the ideal retreat from which to discover both counties. The tidal River Towy runs through the village of Abergwili and has an ever-changing vista. The village is also known for its Bishops Palace, which was home to the Bishop of St Davids since 1542 when the bishop transferred his palace from St Davids to Abergwili. On the doorstep is Carmarthenshire County Museum, where you can step back in time and discover the fascinating art and antiques of Carmarthenshire’s past, set within glorious parkland within the Towy Valley.

Towy Valley Retreat is nestled with a number of similar properties on a no-through lane. It has been finished to a good standard throughout and lovingly furnished for your holiday.
