Family & Friends Weekends

Get everyone together for a weekend in the Black Mountains, with the whole bunkhouse to yourselves.

The Whole Place to Yourselves

Bring everyone together under one roof. With exclusive use of Brecon Bunkhouse, your family or friends have the whole building for the weekend, with room for up to 28 and a dining room with tables and chairs for the entire group.

Weekend exclusive use is £800 for the whole weekend, about £14.30 per person per night for a group of 28. Midweek stays are £350 per night.

Dining room with tables and chairs for the whole group

Why Families and Friends Love It

  • Everyone eats together: a fully equipped kitchen with a catering stove, and a dining room big enough for the whole group.
  • Cosy evenings: a large, separate lounge with comfortable sofas, armchairs and a wood-burning stove.
  • Rooms for everyone: dorms sleeping 10, 8 and 6, plus two rooms with 2 bunks each for a little more privacy.
  • Bring the dog: up to 2 dogs are welcome downstairs at £10 per dog per night.
  • A proper weekend: arrive any time on Friday and leave any time on Sunday evening.
  • Christmas and New Year: Christmas, New Year and Bank Holiday stays are always exclusive use.

Plenty to Do Nearby

Walk to Waun Fach or Castell Dinas from just up the road, visit the restored mill in Talgarth, or head to Brecon, Abergavenny or Hay-on-Wye, each around 25 minutes' drive. The local pub is within walking distance too (bring a torch for the walk home!).

Large sitting room with sofas and armchairs

Good to know: think of us as a 'camping barn' rather than a holiday cottage. The bunkhouse is basic, but it's clean, with loads of space and a warm welcome. Everyone brings their own bedding (a sheet, sleeping bag or duvet, and pillow), and there are no ladders to the top bunks, so they won't suit everyone.

“Great location, fantastic value. Friendly people. Dog friendly.”
