A slightly overdue review but I stayed at the Bunkhouse with a group of friends earlier in the year and had a great time. The bunkhouse is rustic, has a lovely atmosphere and is down to earth just like the surrounding area. The hosts were friendly, made us feel very welcome and had some great stories and expertise to offer us. I'd stay again and very much enjoyed my trip! Thank you Jesse!

Love it ! It makes me feel like a boy scout staying here . It's cheap and cheerful and basic but so full of character . Jesse has climbed most of the area with his wife and is a wealth of knowledge on the area. If you want budget digs and warm welcome you won't go wrong with this place. This is a bunk house not the Ritz so you get what's written on the tin 😀😀😀😀 and I for one will be back again

Would 100% recommend this place. Jesse and his wife are an incredibly welcoming and friendly couple. The bunk house itself has everything you need, is very clean and full of character. I will definitely be staying there again.

Fantastic place to stay. Great location and ideal for climbing and hiking in Snowdonia. Full of atmosphere and not like any other bunkhouse I have stayed at. Has all the facilities you will need and you will be made to feel very at home whether staying for a day, a week or more. I've stayed there many times and will stay there many more.

Nice accommodation. Used our own sleeping bags but blankets provided. Jesse is a really cool guy and very friendly. Left us flapjack in the morning and provided everything outdoorsy people need.

I’ve been coming here for 30 years. Jesse James and his bunkhouse have more character than his American namesake.

The Bunk house has been made by him over the years which is quirky, practical and simplistic but very effective place with everything you could want.

Jesse has a wealth of Snowdonia knowledge to share with the respectful visitor to his home and will duly reward those people with some of Maggie’s prize winning flapjack.

If you want to open up his wealth of fantastic stories and experiences take a Malt and offer him a dram, fear not he will reciprocate.

A lovely place and a fantastic couple who provide excellent value accommodation and customer service.

Jesse is a very nice man and the place he has is great for going climbing snowdon. He knows a lot about the place and the mountains and can give very good advices. We met him a couple of weeks ago and we did everything he told us to do, and we couldnt have done better!! I hope we meet him again, he is a great person and with a very juvenile energy! If you can stay at his place dont doubt it! You wont regret it. He has a different rooms with different styles, so you can chose what you want, all with different dining areas and kitchen.
Thanks for the advices and the cup of tea jesse! Take care!

Jesse was extremely accomodating and warm welcoming. It was lovely to hear his mountaineering stories after our day out on the mountain. He's like the mountaineering version of David Attenborough 😊 would highly recommend the bunkhouse, a great location too!
