Simple facilities in an extraordinary location.
Group Accommodation
Space for scouts, school groups, outdoor clubs, and anyone who values simplicity. Bunk-style sleeping with room for larger groups to gather, cook, and plan their next adventure.

The Guide Hut does not pretend to be a hotel. What it offers is something better — a base surrounded by ancient woodland, sand dunes, and coastline. Bring your sleeping bag and your sense of adventure.
Self-Catering Kitchen
A simple kitchen area with the essentials for preparing meals. Cook together, eat together, and enjoy the kind of communal dining that only happens on group trips.
Campfire Space

Nature on the Doorstep
Step outside and you are immediately in the Merthyr Mawr Warren National Nature Reserve. Miles of trails, the Big Dipper sand dune, and the beach are all within walking distance.
Affordable Adventure
