    Afan lodge isnt a log cabin ... The Afan lodge is a whacking great building ! Located between the 2 trail centres with the back entrance leading onto the low level cycle way that connects them both, We stopped off for a drink coming back from Penhydd last year and it seems a great place ! So friendly and a great atmosphere, Secure bike lock up to ! I reckon its one of the top places to stay !

    try the search button, there have been a few recommendations in the past. The popular ones tend to be fully booked at short notice so I ended up choosing a random place from the MTB Wales website which has a vast database.

    Bryntegg House (IIRC) in Cymmer. Lovely B&B. Right in the middle of Afan and Glyncorrwg

    Afan Lodge is great, not sure it fits with your 'cheap' request. About £35 PPPN based on two sharing I think.

    Worth it though, great bar and the food is spectacular.

    In fact it's go good, I've stayed there and I can drive home from Afan in about 45 mins.

    Having a similar problem (for same weekend possibly! - Pasta when you going? 19/20th?)

    anyone know anywhere for a group of about 10-12 people around Afan?
    Would prefer somewhere close to at least a couple of pubs rather than stay at hotel bar all night (and Afan Lodge too pricey ideally, we need 2 nights so it starts to look expensive)
    Appreciate we may have to split up into different accom but so long as a few places in the town it will be okay
    Im assuming Porthcawl as Ive been there before but the B&B's not really tailored to taking in bikes (no secure storage)
    Any other towns / villages that might be worth a bet?

    you could stay in swansea, its about 25 min drive from afan, but its a city, so there is endless places to stay and eat...

    This thread from MTB-Wales.com is fairly up to date (from beginning of last year) and has a number of suggestions
