Description
Nestling between the river Usk and the Canal, Canal Barn is only a short walk from Brecon town centre, and it is the only Bunkhouse within a couple of miles of Brecon.
Designed with the outdoor enthusiast in mind the Bunkhouse is the ideal base for your Sports or Outdoor Activities Club, including DofE Award Expeditions, and an excellent venue for Team Building and residential Training Courses. Alternatively Canal Barn Bunkhouse is a great location for a Reunion or an action packed get together with your Friends and Family.
Sleeping up to 24 people, Canal Barn Bunkhouse offers competitively priced environmentally friendly group accommodation of exceptional quality that is equipped to a very high standard indeed. In addition there is a secure covered cycle, canoe and equipment storage, with a workshop for repairs, and ample private off road car parking.
We have a large garden to relax in and have a BBQ, or use the adjacent Sports Fields for outdoor fun and games or training activities. For Team Building and Training Courses the Common Room readily converts to a training room, and where extra space is required there is a large Meeting Hall (144 sq metres) for hire only 50 metres from the Bunkhouse.

Canal Barn is centrally heated, with constant hot water and excellent drying facilities. There is a fully equipped kitchen for all your self-catering needs.

Local Interests/Attractions
The Brecon Beacons offers a wide range of outdoor activities. Walking, cycling, mountain biking and pony trekking are the mainstream activities, but the Brecon Beacons are also a major centre for canoeing, caving, rock climbing and abseiling, and other perhaps more unusual activities such as hang gliding, gorge walking and rafting. The lake at Llangorse is ideal for all types of water sport, including sailing, wind surfing and water skiing.
The canal towpath just outside our grounds is on many walking, cycle and mountain biking routes, including the Taff Trail and Lon Las Cymru, the cross Wales section of the National Cycle Network (Route 8). Footpaths lead to the river giving pleasant easy walks along its bank.
Historic Brecon town has a range of pubs, restaurants, takeaways and entertainment to satisfy most tastes and pockets, together with a Leisure Centre, Cinema, Theatre and Cathedral, and all within safe easy walking distance of the Bunkhouse. As an alternative why not a take a pleasant stroll or bike ride along the Canal towpath and have lunch, or an early evening meal, at one of the excellent village pubs situated not too far along the Canal.
