Fabulous property

Great facilities for large groups of all ages, well equipped kitchen, lots of showers and toilets. During our stay it rained a lot but we found places to visit and woodland walks, and there was good drying facilities for wellies and coats. Delivery from Asda was excellent and planned for our arrival, Hosts were very helpful if we needed anything, overall an excellent property and would definitely recommend

I would have enjoyed bit more if the Kitchen had a partition. Utensils are for an average use. I would be nice if you have a dishwasher. The upstairs shower water is cold, you need to wait a lot of time to get the hot water. Most of my friends had shower without hot water.

5* bunkhouse in great location

We were a group of 3 families and we had such a great time at this property. The property itself was lovely, super clean, warm and comfortable beds. Great kitchen with everything you need for cooking for a crowd. Massive TV with strong Internet connection so you could easily watch a netflix film. The owners were just next door, unobtrusive but always available if there were any issues and were very friendly and helpful. The area itself has quite a bit to do. It's a very easy drive (6 min) to the carpark for Pen-y-fan. There is Wales only whisky distillery that do tours about 15 min drive away and lots of waterfall walks. For those needing a sizeable town for shopping/groceries then Merthyr Tydfil is only a 15-20min drive away. I would 100% recommend this property and would definetly return if we have the opportunity. Thanks for a great holiday.

Fantastic Bunkhouse!!

There were 22 of us and everyone of us had a fantastic time and thought the property was perfect for what we needed. Clean, really well equipped, loads of space. Friendly and helpful hosts. We had food shop delivered which the hosts offered to bring in and put cold bits away if it arrived before us. Great garden which the kids absolutely loved, We will definitely be back again!!

Best stay ever

This was our first stay at the Bunkhouse. The experience was amazing! One feature that we loved was going outside in the night and stargazing as there was a very clear view of the sky from near the barn. The sheep were fun to watch over as we don’t have any sheep around where we live. It felt even more amazing than a five star hotel due to all the endless nature and animals. When we entered my kids started screaming in delight and excitement. Everything was sanitary and clean. The summerhouse outside was so cozy and comfortable. Overall our stay at the bunkhouse was lovely. Thank you Molly & Jack for making our stay extraordinary.

Perfect for our needs

Everything was absolutely fine. We just wanted a place for a family Christmas meet up. This house is remote but that's fine for us as we just sat around playing games. The accommodation is a bunk house so don't expect 5* luxury but it is very up together and well finished. The building has everything you need. Big oven, lots of crockery. Loads of showers and toilets. All good.
