Sleeping Arrangements: Dorm style accommodation - you will be allocated a room prior to the course. There are eight bedrooms, accommodating a total of 70 guests. Most bedrooms still have original medieval features, and include a prison, stately room and bedrooms over 3 floors in the twin 13th century towers. The largest bedroom has sixteen beds, and the smallest has four.
For breakfast and evening meals, the hostel has a medieval style dining room that comfortably seats fifty people.
Upstairs is a lounge, originally rumoured to be King John’s bedroom, which is fitted out with comfy armchairs, a games cupboard and library. Downstairs there is a smaller lounge located in the old kitchen of the castle, which has three sofas and an additional eating space.
Situated in the quiet village of St Briavels, the hostel overlooks the Wye Valley, and is located away from busy main roads. The main castle area is surrounded by the original castle walls, making St Briavels Castle extremely safe and secure.
