Sleep your whole crew under one roof

How groups stay
Whole-dorm and private-room combinations
Book out a whole dorm
For a club, a stag or hen, or a sports team, booking out an entire dorm keeps the group together with no strangers in the bunks. Mixed or female-only, shared or en-suite bathrooms depending on the room.
Enquire for groups
Mix in private rooms
Combine dorm beds with private rooms for couples, leaders or anyone after a quieter night. Private rooms sleep small parties; mix and match across the group.
Book private roomsWhat the group gets
Shared spaces, sized for a crew
-
Waypoint Cafe and Bar
On the ground floor: coffee, beer, hot breakfast. A natural meeting point for the group at the start and end of the day.
-
Self-catering kitchen
A proper kitchen and a long shared table, the right shape for cooking a group meal together rather than splitting up to restaurants.
-
Lounge
Sofas and floor space for the group to spread out, debrief the day, plan the next one.
-
Drying room and bike store
Heated drying room and a lockable bike store, both included — the practical bits a group of damp wet-weather walkers needs.
-
Satellite WiFi
Fast enough that leaders can deal with admin, and the corporate group can stay reachable when needed.
-
Right by the station
Direct trains from London, Liverpool and Manchester drop you ten minutes from the front door — easy for groups arriving from different cities.
Twenty-eight of Wales’ thirty highest peaks within half an hour of the front door.
Things the group can actually do
From the front door
Walking groups
Eryri proper
Hourly direct buses run from the village to Yr Wyddfa, so the whole walking group can summit without a fleet of cars. Twenty-eight Welsh 3,000ers within a half-hour radius.
Riding groups
Marin Trail & Gwydir loops
Red-graded singletrack starting yards from the bike shed. A natural fit for a riding club weekend with mixed ability across the group.
Stag & hen, corporate
Go Below mines, gorge scrambles, zip wires
The big-ticket guided experiences in Eryri — underground abseils, white-water gorges, the world’s fastest zip line — all bookable as a group, all within a short drive.
Mixed-ability group
Llyn Elsi & forest walks
Gentle half-day loops from the village high street for the days when the group wants something easy and beautiful rather than a summit push.
