“This place is an amazing affordable option for people who love hiking or riding bikes. The accommodations are great and well thought out. Couldn’t recommend it more!”

Choose your cabin or stay in your van.
The cabins are designed for comfort, practicality and adventure. There are 5 cosy cabins to choose from, all with a 4ft wide (small double) bunk bed, heaters and bike storage. The original cabins also have a single camp bed. There is also space for 1 or 2 small campervans.

“We had a wonderful 2 night stay at the roost. The rooms are comfy and the kitchen has everything you need. Felt really secure and safe - will be back.”

Brilliant for bikers and hikers
Given our proximity to BikePark Wales, the Taff Trail (cycle route 8) and the National Park, The Roost provides secure in-cabin bike/gear storage, a bike wash, maintenance stand with tools and a drying room. And there are the all-important big comfy beds and lovely hot showers.

Fun for families
Kids love the Roost! The small, gated site means they can roam free and the guest store/honesty shop is stocked with board games, ball games, ‘pick & mix’ and marshmallows. Plus, the well equipped kitchens and BBQs make feeding them easy.

Dog friendly
Dogs are welcome at the Roost. They can roam free too, and the guest store is stocked with spare poop bags, dog bowls and even treats.

Travel by train
The village train station, Troedyrhiw, is just a 5 minute walk away with direct connections to Cardiff and beyond. Why not bring your bike on the train?

“This was our second stay at The Roost and we loved it! It is so well planned and feels like an oasis! It is well equipped with everything we needed in the cabins, kitchen and had great bike cleaning and storage facilities. We will definitely be back!”

“Stayed at The Roost while visiting Bike Park Wales and it was perfect! Just minutes from the trails, with clean, modern facilities and a peaceful setting. Showers were hot, the campsite was quiet and well maintained, and the owners were super friendly and helpful. Ideal spot for mountain bikers or anyone looking to unwind in nature. Highly recommend — we’ll definitely be back!”
