Horse lovers will love this bunkhouse

February 15th 2023

Cadarn Bunkhouse is a must for horse riders who want to experience the joys of pony trekking in the Black Mountains.  

The Bunkhouse offers surprisingly low-cost, comfortable self-catering accommodation (though breakfast is available on request) for 2-14 guests. It sits in the Brecon Beacons National Park and has 360 degree panoramic views from the Black Mountains to Wye Valley.  There is direct access to the Black Mountains and 26 acres of garden and pasture to roam.

It is just a 5-minute walk to Tregoyd Mountain Riders  where half or full-day rides can be organised for complete beginners to experienced riders.  With fabulous walking from the doorstep, great canoeing in the Wye valley (and local canoe hire available) and the pretty market town of Hay on Wye famous for its book shops nearby there is something for everybody.
