Self catering bunkhouse in the heart of Snowdonia

Caban Cysgu offers comfortable, purpose-built accommodation at the foot of the Carneddau in the Welsh-speaking village of Gerlan. A warm welcome is guaranteed at this community run bunkhouse. An ideal location for walking in Snowdonia, providing a great base for the 'Fourteen 3000ft Peaks' long-distance challenge, The Slate Trail and The Snowdonia Trail. For the adrenalin junky, it's just a 5 minute drive to Zip World; the longest and fastest zip line in Europe, “The Nearest Thing to Flying!!” Brilliantly located for mountain biking with plenty of off-road trails nearby. And for road cyclists the bunkhouse is ideal for exploring Snowdonia, whilst for leisurely rides the hostel is within a mile of Sustrans route 'Lôn Las Ogwen'. Rock-climbing at Idwal is close at hand, as well as Ysgolion Duon for the dedicated winter climbers. The nearby Afon Ogwen provides a popular venue for canoeists.

Caban Cysgu in Snowdonia is now offering exclusive use bookings to households/bubbles inline with the latest Government advice

July 15th 2020

This is your opportunity to have the whole of this comfortable spacious bunkhouse to yourself. Set at the heart of a Welsh speaking village in the Carneddau mountains, this is a real escape from city life.

We’ve decided to open at half of our capacity for sole use for the time being. Its with a sorry heart we can not offer single or twin rooms to individual guests at the moment.  Hopefully it wont be long when we can get back to running our bunkhouse in pre covid style.
