Croeso i Fyncws y Seren - Welcome to The Star Bunkhouse

The Star Bunkhouse is a friendly, family run bunkhouse in the village of Bwlch, a handy base for exploring Bannau Brycheiniog National Park. We are a proud member of the Independent Hostels UK network, and delighted to have been recognised in the ‘Hostel or Bunkhouse of the Year’ category of The Great Outdoors Awards (Silver 2018, finalist 2021 & 2025).

You can expect a warm, comfortable stay with everything you need after a day on the hills. There are spacious bedrooms, including an en-suite family room, a homely lounge with wood burning stove, books and magazines, board games, free WiFi, a well equipped self-catering kitchen, large dining tables, a cosy snug with extra seating, plenty of hot showers, a drying room, BBQ area with picnic benches, car park and 1 EV charging point.

We can sleep up to 20 people in bunkbeds spread over 6 bedrooms. You can book private bedrooms for individuals, couples and small groups, or exclusive use for larger groups. Dogs are welcome by arrangement.

The bunkhouse sits right alongside The Beacons Way long distance footpath, in the gap (bwlch) between the Black Mountains and the central Brecon Beacons, including Pen y Fan. Across the road you will find the New Inn & Beacons Backpackers, popular with both locals and visitors for real ales, a friendly welcome and good food. Advance booking is highly advised for meals.

For ideas on what to do nearby, see breconbeacons.org for activities and places to visit in Bannau Brycheiniog.

If you would like to stay, check dates and prices on our booking page or get in touch with any questions before you decide.

We look forward to welcoming you soon.
