Rang up yesterday to double check all was well with our stay only to find that we have been double booked!
I won’t name the place as its unfair but i’m desperate to book somewhere for 7 of us in may.
Can anyone recommend somewhere? we normally stay in a lovely modern bunkhouse for £15 a night!

We want to be as close to the mbr route at Coed Y Brenin as possible.

Help 🙁

cae gwyn farm is about a 1 mile road ride from the start of the trails and is very nice and quite a good price.

We stayed there and it was spot on for our needs.

Last time there we used Dolgun Uchaf just outside Dolgellau, the bunkhouse is basic (stable block style) but the showers are hot and the farmhouse breakfasts were excellent!

recommend cae gwyn. Looked after us a number of times we’ve stayed there.

You could also look at the trawsywyndd log cabins.

Plas Isa if it’s not already booked and it wasn’t where you originally booked…

Another vote for Dolgun Uchaf here, 12 quid, warm, clean, great showers but a short drive from Coed Y Brenin.
Brekky in town was massive and worth avoiding the ease of the Little Chef for.

This place is good: http://www.llysednowain.co.uk

About 10 mins from CYB.

We’ve stayed at Cae Gwyn a few times, full B&B and bunkhouse. Nice people, chilled atmosphere, especially when it snowed on the bunkhouse!

Biker’s Retreat is very good, but its very popular so you’ll be lucky to get in at such short nitice. Worth giving them a bell though.

stumpy01 does this place have off street parking for a mini bus?

Sorry would help if I pasted the link 🙂 do these have off street parking for a mini bus? http://www.llysednowain.co.uk

They have a fair few parking spaces and everytime I have been it’s never been full, so you could easily get a minibus in. Also got a very sturdy bike store with combination lock on it – just take some extra locks to secure bikes to the bars inside.

Decent rooms, showers, kitchen with TV, drying room (not very effective though) – all in all we have been really impressed.

Nice 1 thanks mate just rang them and we are booked in 🙂

Cheers buddy

that place is great – have used it a few times.

Go to the smaller of the pubs (up the street)…the one down the street got a bit lairy when we went in on a SAturday night.

SC-XC will keep that in mind 🙂

Thanks

Yep…..I would agree with SC-XC on that one. I think the pub down the road is also a hotel. We ate in there and the food was OK, but it didn’t seem that friendly. The one up the road is better.

Come out of hostel, go straight ahead over the junction and then you can go up or down the hill.
Down the hill there’s the pub/hotel, a convenience store, an HSBC cash point and a decent cafe that does a cracking fry-up. We went 2 days running and on the 2nd day she had bought in some extra thick bacon specifically in case we came in! And gave us black pudding too!!

Up the hill, there’s a pub (although when we were last there almost all there beers weren’t on!).

Thanks guys, will let you know how I get on!
