Inside the Bunkhouse

Warm & cozy bunkhouse in the mountains. Great drying room, comfy bunk beds, DVD, music player & well equipped modern kitchen, 2 big showers, 2 loos, sleeps 12

After washing the mud off your boots...........come into the Bunkhouse. It was built probably in the 17th century as an outhouse to Foelortho farm and has been used for the last forty years as a log and timber store and overflow dormitory for visitors who were prepared to rough it.

Now reinforced with stronger walls and a slate roof it's been magically transformed into self contained, self catering Bunkhouse accommodation ideal for groups of walkers, cyclists, canoeists, bird watchers, scouts, guides, photographers, painters, musicians...............

The magic expands - what appeared from the outside to be a small stone box becomes a ‘Tardis' when you enter. Everything is in place for welcoming home an intrepid group of hungry adventurers, wet and exhausted from some demanding outdoor pursuit. There's a place for rucksacks, a cosy drying room (eqipped with a radiator, de-humidifier, and extractor fan) for sopping wet cagouls and footwear plus dry and lockable accommodation for bikes and whatever.

Step through into a warm, smartly tiled lobby and decide on a wash or a shower. The wet room's warm and snug with two showers, two washbasins, a dividing curtain and an extractor fan. The toilet is separate and equipped with its own corner wash basin, radiator and extractor.The super-efficient Combi boiler gives you all the hot water you could possibly want, and also powers five radiators. Even with snow and ice outside, this little home in the hills is as warm as toast - truly a ‘bunkhouse heaven'.

Now slip into your indoor shoes and, helping yourself to a magazine (or a newspaper or a map) from the shelving on the Mezzanine floor, climb another five steps for a complete surprise. Mouths drop open at the sight of the modern equipment in this tastefully designed kitchen area. Facilities like the integrated fridge, microwave/oven, gas hob, sink unit, electric kettle, toaster and all the crockery and cutlery make it a pleasure to prepare and serve a tasty meal for ten, while three sets of dimmable halogen lights can transform the whole space into a sophisticated lounge.
The dining table's a great place for friendly, relaxed conversation, serving also as a place for poring over maps while planning tomorrow's adventure, as a card table or merely as a prop for your elbows while you have a laugh and a chat. In this relaxed atmosphere and with such comfy mattresses laid out on the carpet, you won't be talking too far into the night.
