Special Offer

Discount for all secondary school and post-16 educational bookings

August 18th 2024

Are you planning a DofE expedition or an educational field trip? Did you know that we offer a 10% discount for all* educational bookings? Our bunkhouse lies alongside the Beacons Way long distance footpath in Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park. We have a large projector screen and flipchart/whiteboard/pens (if required) and plenty of space for minibus parking. We can sleep up to 20, with 2 or 4 in each bedroom (6 bedrooms available), and we have flexibility to provide a separate bathroom for staff use.

(* N.B. our bunkhouse is less suitable for primary age… we are on a main road & we don’t have much space to play outside!)
