Property information

Scandi style bedrooms in a corridor that used to be the chapel aisle are all about the warm tones of Wiltshire larch walls, floors and beds.

There are also 2 adjoining apartments within the bunkhouse: 1 Gallery Apartment sleeping 6-9 with kitchen, dining, lounge and 2 shower rooms. Beds are one bunk, one triple bunk and one double. There are also two futons for additional guest. 1 Vestry Apartment sleeping 5 one bunk and one triple bunk that has a Velux window above for natural light.

You can actually hear the nearby river if you open the one that is located in the gallery apartment. Nice views also! Afan Forest Bunkhouse feels much more luxurious than a typical bunkhouse - this architect-designed chapel conversion is an absolute triumph. A fantastic light filled open plan communal space has been created, while managing to retain the beauty of many original features. This bunkhouse has plenty of green credentials too with solar panels and a ventilation system in every room. Traditional arched windows with seating areas overlook the Afan Valley and village of Glyncorrwg, while the double height of the chapel allows for a galleried mezzanine activity room where the organ used to sit. The centrepoint of Afan Forest Bunkhouse is the enormous dining table where everyone can sit down together. This space also doubles up as a place for corporate group board meetings. Stylish stainless steel kitchen fully equipped includes range cooker and dishwasher. 2 jumbo washing machines and dryers. Kitchens in both apartments.
