Bwthyn Bach Bunkhouse is situated in the village of Trefeglwys just 4 miles from the pretty market town of Llanidloes in rural Mid Wales.
Owned and run on a not for profit basis by a small Trust, this 300 year old Grade II listed building has been nurtured by members of the Trust since it was acquired in 1966.
The house is full of interesting architectural features which contribute to the sense of history guests inevitably feel. The facilities are simple, a little worn, but this is reflected in the price.
There's a small kitchen/diner with hot water, a kettle, an electric cooker, microwave, fridge, freezer and all the basic crockery/cutlery you will need. A wood-burning stove keeps it warm (wood is provided at a small extra cost), while a separate dining room has space for large groups. The highlight of the downstairs is the huge open inglenook fireplace in the central living room, perfect for relaxing and storytelling after a busy day outdoors.
Bwthyn Bach sleeps up to 17 across 5 rooms. BYO bedding and warm clothing in winter. Outside there's a lawn suitable for games and camping. Close by you have the Lon Las Cymru for cyclists and Glwndwr's Way for walkers and mountain bikers. Aberystwyth, the coast, Dyfi National Nature Reserve and the Centre for Alternative Technology are all less than an hour's drive away (links to all local attractions/ activities on the website). The village pub is next door (check directly with the pub for up to date information on meals).
We welcome walking/ climbing/ cycling groups (secure space in the house for bicycles) DofE groups, scouts, family gatherings, reunions, motorbike tourers (there is a small lockable garage), dogs etc
