Wonderful property in a beautiful setting that was perfect for a large group celebrating NYE. Claire was extremely helpful with any queries and we had an excellent stay. Strongly recommend.

We came to the bunkhouse for my friends hen party, and it was perfect for what we wanted. The house is great with large communal spaces for everyone to gather around, and is a beautiful location. Pictures are absolutely accurate. The hosts were all super friendly and helpful, staying in regular communication and answering any questions we had, as well as organising an epic kayaking trip for us. The house was well kept and the hosts made the check in process really easy and stress free! The only slight inconvenience was the shower/toilet situation, a couple of the toilets didn’t lock properly, and the showers struggled with water pressure with more than 1 or 2 showering at a time which was a bit of a struggle with 16 girls! But otherwise absolutely fantastic

Amazing communication - so helpful with answering queries and providing and booking activities.
Accommodation was clean and spacious. We loved that we could all eat round one table.
Our was extremely helpful that Sian took in the online order before we arrived.
I recommend taking the directions of the bunkhouse from their main website as it can be a little tricky to find.
A great weekend for my sister's hen do!!!
Thank you

We all, especially my sister (the bride), had the most amazing weekend at the bunkhouse for her hen do, and the accommodation really made it. The communal areas made it so much easier for everyone to get to know each other and mingle. I really hope to return in the future and would 100% recommend to anyone and everyone.

The accommodation was perfect for our group of 18. It had everything we needed and Sian was very helpful throughout in dealing with my queries. We also did canoeing through the linked company and this was also enjoyed by the group. Rob was at also available to contact with any issues we had so we really appreciated that too. Thanks all for a lovely stay!

We were a group of 20 on a stag do for my brother. The bunkhouse was perfect accommodation for us with ample space and facilities to self cater (big kitchen and BBQ). Jacuzzi was fab, and the proximity to clay pigeon shooting and river canoeing was ideal. Thank you to Sian and the family for having us. We'll see you again I'm sure!

Had a great time here in this fantastic location booked for a stag weekend which could have been very interesting given the circumstances.
Storm Arwen blew through during our stay and if it wasn’t for Claire, Rob and Sian’s help, generosity and forward thinking, it would have been a very different weekend for us. It was very clear that they all want to ensure that guests have a comfortable and enjoyable stay.

The whole family enjoyed our stay, and had an experience we won’t forget soon!
Both Claire and Sian were friendly and welcoming and the house had everything you need for a family break away. Highly recommend!

Lovely weekend away with a big group. The pictures don’t do it justice! Our Claire host was brilliant, very welcoming and really quickly to reply to any messages we sent with queries and was very helpful and flexible with the additional activity we booked. The whole group had a great time - would highly recommend
10.0 / 10.0
We had a fantastic weekend. The owners are really communicative and helpful - they organise activities but unfortunately I didn't get the email so do contact them if you are unsure of what to do in the area. We had a stag party and took advantage of the gas bbq on the Friday night. We canoed on the Wye and visited Tintern and Chepstow. Perfect place for a large group.

We came here for a stag do for 20 people and had an amazing weekend. From the moment the trip was organised, the owner was very responsive with any questions I had and helped me organise the whole weekend with ease. The bunkhouse is located in a stunning location with great views of the valley, it has two good sized entertaining rooms and all of us had a really good time. The activities we did over the weekend of clay pigeon shooting and kayaking were really fun. I would definitely come back here again for another stag do or just on a short break with some friends. Could not recommend enough how helpful the owners were along the whole process and thank you for a fantastic weekend.
5.0 / 10.0
Had an amazing weekend at the bunkhouse, amazing location with everything you need and more! Claire the owner couldn't do enough for us and was always a phone call away if we needed her. We didn't take part in any activities this time ran by the hosts as we might of had a few to many drinks! However the setup looked amazing and when we visit again we will definitely be doing some of them. Thanks again for an amazing weekend and if anyone is thinking about visiting the bunkhouse go for it, I highly recommend the place.
5.0 / 10.0
A group of 15 friends stayed over a weekend. everyone enjoyed the trip the accomodation and facilties suited us perfectly. The dinning area was big enough for everyone to gather, the kitchen and BBQ were easily able to cater for a large group. We booked an activity with the hosts as well (Archery & Axe Throwing) which everyone enjoyed and was held at the accomodation so we did not need to travel. The Hosts were very friendly and helpful during the booking stage with answering any questions. During the stay and once the trip was completed, quickly sending back the deposit.
