Activity Breaks
Brechfa Forest is the largest man made forest in Europe. It is all open to walkers, riders and cyclists as is the network of footpaths, bridleways and byways running over common land and farmland surrounding the forest. This part of Wales is famous for its fishing opportunities, and there is a canoeing centre just 8 miles away.
Gilfach Wen Barn combines 4 star accommodation with an outside washdown area, a drying room and storage for your specialist equipment. You can rest assured that any of your party who don't share your hobby will still enjoy your choice of accommodation. The high ratio of showers to bed spaces means everyone can enjoy a hot shower at the end of a busy day before sitting around the log fire to talk about their day or heading down to one of the local 'watering holes'.
If you are new to hostels in Britain, this is just one of many bunkhouses in Wales. A bunkhouse is a cross between a large holiday cottage and a youth hostel. Comfortable accommodation, no membership is required, there is no curfew and being truly independent can respond better to guests needs. – offering even better value.
Staying in a bunkhouse is about wanting more than just a bed to sleep in. It's a chance to meet new people with common interests, chill out, as well as providing you with freedom of self catering.
Open all year. - Advance booking is prefered. I try to greet all individual guests and group leaders at the start of their stay which is only possible on a working farm by knowing that guests are expected. - Bookings are from 4pm on arrival day to 10am on departure day.
