Gwersyll Cwmwrdu
provides basic self-catering accommodation
for families and groups (please note: any
group staying at the centre must have an
adult in charge, i.e. over 18). Disabled
access is limited, so it is recommended
that disabled persons are accompanied. There
have been disabled visitors to the centre
in the past; all the bottom floors are on
one level, and the bottom bunks are at a
low level. There is enough room for
a wheelchair to be taken into the bathroom
(which has a handrail). Please feel
free to telephone to discuss any queries
with Barbara and Dorothy.
The centre
features two dormitories containing bunkbeds;
one dormitory sleeping 8, one sleeping 10. Each dormitory has an en-suite shower
and toilet room. There are an extra
4 bunks in the gallery above the dining
area. As the access to this is by
ladder, it is recommended for adults only.
There is a fan
heater in each dormitory and a fan heater
in the main room (where the gallery is located).
These do run through the coin meter. Additional heating can be provided
by the wood/coal-burning stove. There
is lighting in each dormitory, the gallery,
the main room and the shower/toilet rooms, which is included as
part of the booking price (does not incur
a coin meter charge).

seating around
a coffee table, with additional plastic
chairs in the centre should you need them.
The kitchen area has a large worksurface,
fridge, kettle, sink, cooker, microwave
and shelving space with crockery and utensils.
As mentioned above, the electrical
equipment and power points go through the
coin meter. The stove is fuelled by
Calor gas, which is included in the booking
price, however we do ask that if you use
all the gas on your visit you ensure the
canister is refilled/replaced. Keep
the receipt for the cost of the gas and
you will be refunded (ask for details/details
will be given when you book of where to
send the receipt). The same applies
to smoke alarm batteries, if they are needed
(we recommend you test these when you arrive).
There are notices in the centre concerning
the above. We would also ask that
guests ensure that all soap flakes, powders
and detergents are biological - this is
because of the drainage system used. The
dining table (under which are stored the
spare plastic chairs) seats 8 to 10 people,
and is located to the right of the front
door; this is for storage (guests may move
the table to wherever it is convenient for
them).

£1 coins with you for the electric
