Good news!!

Sadly, both Hostels are closed at the moment. However, we are hoping to implement the following regime dependent on thee Welsh Government's annonuncement in late February.

• From 26th March until 1st June 2021 we are hoping that our hostels will be available for the following advance booking - Dolgoch all week and Ty'nCornel weekends only. (The charge will be £100 per night)
  • Whole Hostel Bookings for up to 6 people from up to 4 extended Household groups. (Children Under 11 are in addition to the 6 people)
  • https://gov.wales/guidance-extended.households-cor...
• It will not be possible to stay at either hostel without booking ahead
• Guests must not arrive before 5pm and must leave no later than 10am, so that the recommended 3 hours is left with the hostels empty before wardens enter to clean and prepare for next guests
• Bookings will be accepted on the understanding that should we reluctantly need to close again, bookings would be cancelled and monies refunded.
• If a customer should develop Covid symptoms whilst at either Hostel, the EWH must be informed. The customer should return home for testing and inform EWH of the result. The hostel would then be closed for 72 hours and be thoroughly cleaned before re-opening.
• If the customer's test is positive, we are legally obliged to share his/her details and those of other members of the group with the NHS as part of the Track and Trace scheme.
• From 1st June 2021 we are hoping that all bookings can be made as normal.
• For the foreseeable future full refunds will be made, should we need to close again.

Elenydd Wilderness Hostels - Independent Hostels in Mid Wales, UK

A real escape from it all.

Hostels located in the heart of the Cambrian Mountains, the last true wilderness in Wales

• These former Y.H.A. Youth Hostels are both in a remote upland region of Mid Wales, where the cry of the red kite is more common than the sound of the car.
• This is a land of rocky outcrops, forestry and meandering rivers; the Tywi being the best known, where you will experience a solitude almost impossible to find elsewhere in Wales, England or the UK.
• The hostels/bunkhouses are perfect for individuals, couples, family breaks and groups.
• You can also camp under our incredibly dark skies. Duke of Edinburgh's Award participants are offered concessionary camping rate

• Dolgoch has 20 beds in 3 rooms sleeping 4, 6 and 10, Ty’n Cornel sleeps 16 in two rooms of 8.
• Both hostels have wood burning stoves for cosy, fireside evenings.
• Around the hostels in the Cambrian Mountains and across North and South Wales there is a wealth of things to do - walking and hiking on remote paths, cycling on quiet roads and forest tracks, star gazing in amazingly dark skies, exploring local places of interest or just enjoying a peaceful, tech free individual, group or family break.
• We’re proud to have 5 star Tripadvisor ratings for both hostels.
• Why not browse our Gallery to get a taste of why people love staying at our unique hostels?

We have Beds from £14 a night and Whole rooms from £50 a night
