Dinefwr Bunkhouse, Wales

Dave P

Postponed from last year, six nights in a stylishly rustic bunkhouse on the National Trust Dinefwr Park estate, set in rolling wooded parkland by historic Newton House, overshadowed by the mighty Dinefwr Castle.  Near Llandeilo on the western edge of the Brecon Beacons National Park.

Dinefwr Bunkhouse is converted from servants’ living quarters, part of a courtyard of estate buildings of Newton House. It has a large open plan kitchen/lounge/dining room and a cosy woodburning stove.

Please arrive after 4pm. You can unload directly outside the bunkhouse, but parking is in the main visitor car park 120m from the bunkhouse. Pillows and duvets are provided but you need to bring your own duvet covers, sheets, pillowcase (or sleeping bag), and towels.
