Blooming lovely. As are our guests & this lush feedback from recent guest Paul:
"The Roost feels like a little oasis tucked away for riders. The facilities were excellent and everything felt set up with mountain bikers in mind. What really made it stand out though was the atmosphere. It almost naturally brings guests together and creates a really social environment. We would 100% recommend The Roost and will absolutely be coming back."

Following the granting of planning approval in January, the Rhydycar West project is now in the delivery stage.

The next stage of the project will include two key phases: the pre-construction phase followed by the construction phase.

The pre-construction phase, which is now underway, will involve detailed collaboration with the Council, technical specialists, and other key stakeholders to progress the extensive planning and preparation work required ahead of construction. This will include detailed interior design, technical coordination, infrastructure planning, and wider project development activities. The pre-construction phase is estimated to take around 18-24 months.

Following this, the development will proceed to the construction phase where the resort will be built. The construction period is estimated to be around three years, and the resort is currently targeting to open in late 2030.

We know there has been significant public interest since January, and we want to reassure the community that a huge amount of work has been happening and is continuing behind the scenes as we move through these next important phases of development. We are particularly excited about the opportunities this project will create for local businesses, local people, and the wider region in the years ahead. In addition, the significant jobs that will be created for locals.

We reiterate our commitment to work with local businesses, suppliers and the wider community throughout both the construction and operational phases of the development. Businesses and individuals interested in future partnerships and opportunities connected with the project are encouraged to now register their interest by contacting the team through the project website at: www.rhydycarwest.com.
