Flexible prices for large groups at Gilfach Wen Barn, even for New Years Eve.

Groups of more than 16 people staying at Gilfach Wen Barn pay only for the nights additional people stay, to make it less difficult for group organisers to plan their trips. Planning a holiday, celebration or even a New Years Eve party can be tricky when some of the group want to confirm closer to the stay, or can only join for part of the booking. The pricing structure for Gilfach Wen Barn takes away all the hassle of guessing your group size.
