About
Smithy's Bunkhouse is situated on a working hill farm in the Black Mountains of the Brecon Beacons National Park.
Designed with the group market in mind, independent travellers are welcome. The Crown Inn at the end of the farm drive does amazing restaurant and bar meals and has a reputation for good beer and an amazing range of whiskies.
Guests are able to walk directly onto the Sugar Loaf and Skirrid Mountains if they don't want to drive further into the Black Mountains.
