Facilities and grading
Nestled beneath the mountains, under the waterfalls, near where the Nant Berw Wion and Nant yr Ychan streams merge, lies Ty Draw Farm.
Ty Draw is ideally placed for the more adventurous holiday maker, with many taking advantage of the surrounding countryside for activities such as horseriding, paragliding, hang-gliding, and caving. The Rhondda Valley has numerous forestry tracks for moutain biking which is popular with both visitors and locals alike, and Afan Argoed and Glyncorwg Mountain Biking centres in the Afan Valley are close by.
The owners are currently upgrading their equine facilities with the aim of offering B&B for your horse as well!
Additional information
From £56 for double B&B per night
