Location great, and accommodation was to a high standard

Peter United Kingdom

House was amazing and best place yet! Great location, the lounge and wide screen TV where a real assest with COVID restriction and everything we needed was there. The bike storage was excellent and no worries with leaving the bikes alone plus the bike cleaning and workshop station where spot on as well

Sam Guernsey

Really well equipped lodge for Mountain Bikers, located in easy reach of many fantastic bike parks. Some great walks nearby too if you fancy a more leisurely day.

Fraser United Kingdom

Location if you are going to bike park Wales. Lots of easy takeaways. Well set up for bikers. Easy access to loads of takeaways.

Stuart United Kingdom

The bike friendly facilities (cleaning and storage) were excellent.

Tyler United Kingdom

A great property that was warm and comfortable. We were 2 families, so 9 in total and there was plenty of space. Rooms are a good size, 2 rooms per floor, 4 floors. We shoved the kids in the attic rooms and the adults had the the second floor. Living room and bathroom are on the first floor with the kitchen and dining room on the ground floor. The washing machine was great for after a wet Bike Park Wales and waterfall walk! Amenities are really close so we could walk out for dinner. Highlight of eating out was Caribbean Cariad in the high street! We’ll definitely be back!

Welcome to Bike Park Lodge the UK's premier mountain bike accommodation, located in south Wales. Designed specifically for anyone heading to Bike Park Wales, Afan Forest, Cwm Carn or any other trail centres in South Wales. There's some very special features which separate this accommodation from the rest:  Extremely secure bike storage Bespoke bike wash area Park Tools work station Cycle themed throughout CCTV installed Private driveway Parking for 3 vans Secure keycode entry ​ Check out the gallery to see these special features.
Coming from a keen cycling family we were always faced with the same problems before booking our next adventure.  "Where would we store our bikes overnight?" and "would they be safe?" After falling in love with the mountain bike centres in South Wales (especially Bike Park Wales) we decided to create "Bike Park Lodge" the dream MTB accommodation for us: Safe storage for the bikes, an area to wash the bikes after a day on the trails and somewhere to fix those annoying mechanicals. Sadly we can't get to Wales every weekend so we have decided to let out this amazing property for other keen mountain bikers to enjoy.
The property couldn't be located better! Just 2.4 miles from Bike Park Wales, 20 miles from Cwm Carn and 30 miles from Afan Bike Park. All three of the best bike parks in the UK just a short drive away. The thriving high street of Merthyr Tydfil is just a short walk from the property where you'll find a vast range of restaurants, bars, supermarkets and evening entertainment. To name a few: Nandos, Harvester, an amazing Portugese pub called "The New Crown" A 24H Tesco, Frankie & Bennies, Vue Cinema and for those of you wanting cheap drinks... Wetherspoons. ​ ​
