About Hendre Isaf Bunkhouse

A Grade II listed, 400 year old 18-sleeper bunkhouse, Hendre Isaf was once a working farm building but now caters for large groups keen to explore Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park. With ample facilities and plenty of room for large communal meals, the bunkhouse offers the ideal environment in which to spend quality time with friends and family. 

Located in the heart of Eryri (Snowdonia), just a 30-minute drive from the start of the Watkin Path at Hafod y Llan, which leads directly to Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon), the tallest mountain in Wales. 

Set on the stunning 8,000 hectare Ysbyty Estate, the bunkhouse is just six miles from Betws-y-Coed. This thriving town is surrounded by waterfalls, rivers and wooded valleys and makes for an excellent lunch spot after a morning spent exploring the national park.

Garden: A large enclosed garden can be found at the rear of the bunkhouse. The garden is in its natural state and is home to picnic benches and a barbecue area.
