Cwm Clyd Bunkhouse

Our spacious, purpose-built group accommodation has all you need to make the most of your stay in the Elan Valley. This self-catering accommodation is both welcoming, comfortable and the sensibly designed facilities enables you to relax following a big day in the great outdoors. The peaceful garden area provides a perfect setting to enjoy the evenings with an outdoor seating area and a cob oven.

The Bunkhouse complex comprises three buildings:

The main building has a fully-equipped heated kitchen with a Rangemaster oven, dining area with a wood burner, one wheelchair-access bedroom and showers/bathrooms. Please note that there are no separate men/women facilities.

The other two buildings are sleeping areas, named the Carthouse (sleeps six in two rooms) and the Longhouse (sleeps 14 in three lockable rooms).

Thus, the whole site can accommodate 21 people in total over six rooms, including the wheelchair-access bedroom.

The Carthouse and the Longhouse sleeping buildings can be booked separately by two different parties. The kitchen /dining and bathroom is shared. We have a special offer for exclusive use; contact us for more details.

Cwm Clyd Bunkhouse is ideally situated for a wide variety of outdoor activities such as walking, cycling and fishing, and perfect for stargazing in the Elan Valley Dark Sky Park. We offer a relaxing atmosphere set in spectacular scenery with something for everyone.

It is ideal for groups of friends or for a couple of families getting together.

Tynllidiart sleeps four people and is a delightfully quaint detached farm cottage located above the Garreg Ddu reservoir with fine views of the surrounding Welsh landscape. This property is full of character with original beams, wooden partitions and exposed stonework, plus a large inglenook fire with log burner for those cosy autumn/winter evenings.

It holds a secluded spot in the Valley without encroaching domestic neighbours and is a great spot to wander out of your doorway for short walks, hikes, cycling, bird watching, fishing, astronomy or maybe all of the above! 

This cottage is off-grid and is run by generator and solar power, with a private water source. There is no mobile signal or Wifi so you can have that tech-free holiday! There is a payphone in the cottage to keep in touch with your loved ones.  

Tynllidiart Farmhouse is accessed via a private single track from close to Penygarreg Dam and below Penbont Tearooms, which is less than a mile from the property. Tynllidiart Farmhouse is approximately a 15 minute-drive from the Elan Valley Visitor Centre and just a 20-minute drive to the nearest town, Rhayader.
