Our spacious, purpose-built bunkhouse welcomes you with comfortable, self-catering facilities that allow you to unwind after a full day of adventure. After exploring the great outdoors, relax in our thoughtfully designed spaces or enjoy a peaceful evening in the garden, complete with outdoor seating and a cob oven.

Our bunkhouse complex consists of three buildings:

The main building features a fully equipped, heated kitchen with a Rangemaster oven, a cosy dining area with a wood burner, a wheelchair-accessible bedroom and showers and bathrooms. Please note that we do not have separate men’s and women’s facilities.

The Carthouse accommodates six guests across two rooms.

Y Beudy, the lower part of Llannerch y Cawr Longhouse, comfortably sleeps five people. This Grade II* listed building dates back to the 16th century and still showcases much of its original charm. In 1999, the property underwent a careful restoration that preserved many traditional features. Today, it serves as two self-catered, semi-detached accommodations—Hen Dy (Upper) and Y Beudy (Lower).

Nestled near the Dôl y Mynach Reservoir in the scenic Claerwen Valley, Llannerch y Cawr Longhouse offers easy access to the main Claerwen Valley road. The property sits just 7 miles from Rhayader, approximately 4.5 miles from the Elan Valley Visitor Centre, and 6 miles from the charming Penbont Tearooms.

Historically, Y Beudy functioned as the livestock section of the Longhouse. To adapt the space, builders added a first floor in the late 16th or early 17th century. Today, the property boasts stunning original features, including cobbled and flagstone flooring, exposed timber beams, and traditional wooden structures.

Because of its uneven cobbled flooring, this property may not be ideal for young children or individuals with mobility concerns. Additionally, during July and August, the bats become particularly active, creating scratching noises and frequently flying in and out.

For those seeking a true escape, Y Beudy offers an off-grid experience. A generator provides power, but there is no phone signal or WIFI, allowing guests to fully disconnect and immerse themselves in the tranquillity of the enchanting Elan Valley.

Restored in 1999, the property carefully preserves its traditional features while serving as two self-catered, semi-detached accommodations—Hen Dy (Upper) and Y Beudy (Lower).

Historically, Hen Dy served as the residential section of the Longhouse, and today, it proudly showcases its heritage. Guests can enjoy a traditional inglenook open fireplace, authentic flagstone flooring, exposed wooden beams, and a distinctive stone staircase that winds unevenly upward.

However, due to the uneven flooring and twisting staircase, this property is not recommended for those with mobility concerns or for young children. Additionally, during July and August, the bats can be quite active, creating scratching noises and frequently flying in and out.

For those seeking a true escape, Hen Dy offers an off-grid experience. A generator provides power, but there is no phone signal or WIFI, allowing guests to fully disconnect and immerse themselves in the tranquillity of the enchanting Elan Valley.
