What to know
Where to stay
No large hotel in Pontardawe; self-catering and Swansea/Neath accommodation covers the area. Tamarind and Cardamon and a second competing Indian restaurant on the main street are the most consistent dining recommendations — healthy competition between the two means both are well-maintained. The Dyffryn Arms (Cilybebyll, 2 miles south on the Neath–Pontardawe road) is the classic country pub for traditional Welsh pub food and more adventurous specials.
