Perfect for groups with free access to the care farm

Amelia Trust Bunkhouse, (graded 3 stars by Visit Wales), is situated just a short drive from the seaside resort of Barry (home of Gavin & Stacey), the stunning scenery of the South Wales Coastal path and the thriving capital city of Cardiff.

Sleeping groups of 4 - 30, it is ideally suited to scouts, guides and other uniformed groups, schools, clubs, youth and faith groups as well as groups of families. It offers wallet-friendly accommodation in a stimulating and educational environment.

The bunkhouse is part of the Amelia Trust Farm and guests have free access to the extensive care farm. There are many acres of semi-ancient woodland to explore, trails to follow, 20 different species of animals to meet, and an adventure park to play in.

Proceeds from the bunkhouse help fund the Trust's charitable work providing therapeutic support to children who struggle in mainstream education.

Facilities in the bunkhouse include a well equipped commercial kitchen, spacious lounge/diner, large porch/boot room. There's an en suite leaders' room plus 5 dorms of various sizes. Outside you'll find ample parking for minibuses, an on-site cafe, a BBQ and cob oven and picnic tables dotted around the woodland.

A separate field study centre, perfect for additional dining or classroom space, and a sports hall can also be hired if required.
