Mid Wales Bunkhouse is perfect for school groups and especially D of E groups. Many D of E groups, especially gold groups, have enjoyed the warmth, comfort and conviviality of the bunkhouse for the first night, before setting off on their expedition, and then on their return for a comfortable, sociable evening with the opportunity to unwind, and rest the weary legs. Being bookable on a daily basis means that the whole group can have sole occupancy, with the leaders staying throughout, booking just the number of beds they require.
In addition to our site based services…
