We still have availability at St John’s in the Vale Camping Barn. Why not come and see the lambs and experience our spring?

If you are thinking about embarking on Glyndwr’s Way, the traditional timber-framed bunk house of Bwthyn Bach is perfectly located as a base from which to do so. Nestled in the small and friendly village of Trefeglwys, it is less than four miles from Llanidloes, where the path passes through on its way North West towards Machynlleth.
Spring is here with multiple Bank Holidays and Summer just around the corner so short breaks and holidays are on our minds! But with ever squeezed budgets getting away, even for just a few days, can be an expensive business especially if eating out in pubs and restaurants. An average 2 course meal for 4 people with drinks can now cost well over £100 in a pub so it soon adds up!
Hostels with self catering kitchens are a great option for very affordable family/group friendly accommodation!
