Main groups

The groups we mostly expect to see are from not-for-profit organisation, such as DoE, Scout and Guide groups, and groups from local authorities or schools. We especially want to cater for groups of young people – who will accompanied by a resonsible adult(s). This is what the acommodation is designed for.

But that’s not us….

If your group doesn’t fit the above defintion, then you can still stay at Pen Y Cae, and still play an important role in the project.

We set aside a small number of days each year for these other kinds of group, who maybe want to have a company away weekend, or run a commercial course, or just have a holiday.

Groups like this will be charged more to stay at Pen y Cae, because you contribute to the running of the cottage, and allow us to subsidise the not–for-profit groups.

Daytime usage

Pen y Cae is also available for daytime use, when there is nobody staying for the nights before and after. Please ask us about daytime use.

Winter closure

As Pen y Cae is completely off grid all lighting and hot water is provided by solar power. Given the lower levels of sunlight during the winter months the solar is unlikely to be able to provide the required power. Also to mitigate against frozen pipes the water system will be completely drained down during the winter months. Therefore Pen y Cae will be closed to users from the end of October each year until the middle of March the following year.
