This venue showcases jaw-dropping architecture built to exceptional sustainability standards.
Little Bryn Gwyn
Spectacular architecture in a captivating, sustainable setting
Unforgettable events start with extraordinary surroundings
Little Bryn Gwyn has been designed to demonstrate how our approach works with larger scale infrastructure and provides increased capacity and inspiration for larger group bookings,
Our south facing buildings are designed to be heated by the sun in the colder times of the year, and shaded from the sun in the warmer months.
The 12kW solar electric (PV) array produces our electricity, and with a ground source heat pump and highly efficient wood burners, our buildings show it is possible to blend both old and new technologies
This site is nestled in the heart of Gower AONB and a stones throw from the historic Arthur’s Stone on Cefn Bryn. Adjacent to our training centre is also a nine bedroom fully en-suite residential centre, which was built by young people on our vocational programmes.
