This is one of the few hostels to still be run in the traditional style and it was great to be checked in and left to get on with it. (Note: the current wardens retire in November 2003 and it may not stay so traditional after that.) We offered to do jobs as is customary at traditional-style hostels, but were refused. The hostel is small but ideal for walking. It's also not in West Wales, we stayed at it on the way back to South Wales so it's nearer Brecon than the coast.
The rooms are adequate and the toilet, shower facilities good. A cottage on the other side of the road offers a common room, further dorms and facilities. The kitchen isn't very large but manageable. The hostel is self catering only and the nearest pub is five miles away. From a walking perspective there are lots of forests and waterfalls to take in and you could easily use this as a base for a week's walking.
