There’s no phone or internet signal, but we did find some where the footpath meets the road.

This bothy is great! There’s a toilet…! A tiny kitchen…! Running water (I’d filter and boil, and add chlorine tablets!). It’s palatial! lol

Tŷ’n-y-cornel meaning ‘house in the corner’ is said to be the most remote hostel in Wales. The bench outside the hostel is dedicated to Tony Drake, the creator of the Cambrian Way.

Does anyone know if there is phone signal or phone internet connection 📶 at this bothy?

If you're lucky, you'll find the house empty. However, due to its proximity to the street, the house may be used as free accommodation. When we arrived, the house was already occupied by a group of hippies. We were still warmly welcomed. Unfortunately, a group of hikers who arrived later had to sleep outside in tents - in November!

An Elenydd Wilderness Hostel. A simple and friendly hostel, hidden away in it's own secluded valley. Hot showers, loads of bunk beds and self catering kitchen. A really lovely place to stay.

We rode to this bothy as part of a gravel bike tour. A very basic bothy, good for getting out of the mixed weather! Enough space for 4 comfortably on the sleeping platforms (6 at a push). Approach from above the bothy through the woods - there's a very well marked path. Avoid coming along the track that leads to the edge of the river as it's very wet and you will get wet feet. Note: the little stream no longer has a bridge across it as in this picture.
