Cabins & facilities


The Roost's cabins and facilities were designed to make life easy for hikers, bikers and outdoor lovers. Our cabins and facilities have pretty much everything you'll need for a relaxing few days away.

And, as a Visit Wales accredited Glamping Site, you can rest assured that we meet the highest standards. We are also accredited for their Cyclists and Walkers Welcome scheme.

Dog friendly glamping accommodation

The Roost is also a dog friendly glamping site. The site is gated and there's plenty of space for dogs to enjoy sniffing about. And, with the Taff Trail outside our gate, its easy to take them for a walk.

All cabins are dog friendly though there's more space for them and you in the 'original' cabins.

The cabins

Our cosy self-catering cabins provide a warm, comfy and practical base for up to two adults and two children. 

There are five cabins at the Roost all of which have:

  • 4ft wide (small double sized) bunk bed, spacious for one and cosy for two
  • a table with stools
  • heaters
  • lighting and power/usb sockets
  • base sheets and mattress protectors are provided as standard; additional bedding available as an extra.

Cabins Arosfa, Gwynfa and Noddfa are step free; there are a few steps to Bodlawen and Del Fryn.

Ensuite Arosfa

In addition to the above, ensuite Arosfa has:

  • a shower room and kitchenette
  • a bike store unit with a three point locking system at the rear of the cabin (W 855mm × L 1900mm × H 1205mm)
  • sleeps up to 2 adults and 1 child.

The 'original' cabins

Our four ‘original’ cabins (Bodlawen*, Del Fryn, Gwynfa and Noddfa) aren't ensuite but they are more spacious and also have:

  • allocated, private kitchens and shower rooms a few steps away
  • in-cabin storage porches for bikes, gear, muddy boots etc
  • sleep up to 2 adults and 2 children
  • a single camp bed.

*Del Fryn can be booked with Bodlawen for bigger groups (max 4 adults & 4 children) who can share a kitchen and shower room. 

Campervan spaces

We have space for two small campervans (max 5m due to restricted space/turning). There are electric hook-ups and shower room will be allocated (this may be shared between guests from two vans). Outdoor seating and a sink with drinking water are also available.

The kitchens

Guests staying in our original cabins are allocated one of three inside-outside kitchens.

Kitchens 1 and 2 are in the facilities cabin and the dividing wall can be rolled up to make one big kitchen. Kitchen 3 sits just below. They are well kitted out so you'll be able to cook, eat and relax. The walls can be rolled up but they'll keep you nice and dry should it rain.

Each kitchen has:

  • a sink with washing up liquid, hand wash and tea towels
  • fridge with ice box
  • a two ring hob, microwave, toaster and kettle
  • pots and pans
  • cafetiere, crockery, cups, glasses and cutlery
  • cleaning equipment
  • refuse/recycling bins
  • BBQ tools
  • inside seating and outdoor seating area.

They have:

  • a wash basin with handwash
  • loo with loo roll (they flush with recycled rainwater)
