I’m looking to book a bunkhouse or similar accommodation as near to the trails as possible for January, around 10 beds needed. Does anyone have any recommendations? The new hotel looks flash, but perhaps too flash!

Google bryn betws

Brynteg house, dead centre between the two and 2 mins wall from the Railway Pub.

As above… Brynteg…stay there everytime i go up there

Bit further away but green lanterns on way to neath is very good

Not exactly a bunkhouse but I can definitely recommend Afan Lodge.
In between both trail centres about £50 a night including a superb breakfast plus they do evening meals and beer.
Maybe I just like my home comforts!!!

Stayed at Brynteg last time we went Afan and won’t bother going elsewhere from now on….. Perfect location

Afan lodge is great and the breakfast is awesome!

Green Lanterns does some amazing steak.

+1 for Bryn Bettws. Stayed at both Brynteg House and Bryn Bettws. Both good but Bryn Bettws is situated right on ‘Y Wall’ just metres away from new skills loop that opened at start of December. Food is excellent and they can cater for large parties. Usual bike wash/storage, etc. Won’t stay anywhere else now when going to Afan.

Awesome I needed to know this too 🙂
