Lumely Fee Bunkhouse

We stayed here for just one night as we travelled down to Wales from Scotland. We chose it initially for its handiness as a stopping-off point and for its very competitive price. We were a family of four and had The Gable room which has a double bed and two singles up in the attic. The room was beautiful, as was the whole building. It was very chapel-like and was right next to an old church and grave yard. The room had lovely windows and views over the surrounding countryside. The bathroom was spacious with a lovely big bath and there was an armchair and window seat to sit at with tea and coffee making stuff. You need to bring a bit of milk along with you though as this isn't provided. You do kind of forget that you are in a 'bunkhouse' hostel-type situation as it's so lovely. Many of the other guests obviously bring their own food and cook it up in the communal kitchen downstairs. We had phoned in advance and booked ourselves an evening meal at The Wheatsheaf pub a minute's drive down the road. This is where you also pick up your key to the Bunkhouse. We had a lovely meal here and also booked ourselves in for breakfast the next day. Definitely recommend you do this as the food is great and it's a lovely friendly pub. The only very slight drawback that we discovered when we went exploring the whole bunkhouse, is that there is no soundproofing at all between the floor of the Gable room and the ceiling of the communal living room downstairs. The living room is a gorgeous, slightly gothicky room that would be brilliant to hang out in if there was a crowd of you. You can literally hold a conversation from this room to the room upstairs and you don't need to shout. Something to bear in mind. There weren't many other guests in the bunkhouse the night we stayed so we weren't bothered by any noise at all (apart from a hooting owl!) We definitely want to come back here for both the accommodation and its gorgeous location.
