Forest Freeride Bunkhouse

The riding starts from here as you literally fall out of your bunk straight onto the numerous trails.

You can stay in our compact, comfortable bunkhouse as our guest, free of charge - one night for each full day that you ride with us. Eg if you've booked a Saturday ride, stay here either the Friday night or on the Saturday night. A two day course entitles you to two nights accommodation and so on.

We do however suggest that each person (staying 1 or 2 nights) put a £5 donation into the Wales Air Ambulance box in the bunkhouse. (We hope you don't think this is too cheeky but as mountain bikers, helicopter rescue can be a necessity. They are all run on charity and as the government do not support the service, we have to)!

Facilities include:
• Toilet and wash basin.
• Shower room.
• Seating area with log burner.
• Food preparation area with microwave, fridge, kettle, toaster, crockery and plates etc.
• Tea, coffee, sugar and semi-skimmed milk provided.
• Separate sleeping loft with campbeds.
• Please bring your own sleeping bag/bedding.

Don't forget to bring supplies as the local shop closes early (well, we are out in the sticks)!
