We spent our first night here, on our way into Wales. The friendly owners were happy to accommodate us on the day, and met us and shared local information, but were not intrusive in any way. The site is well kept and we enjoyed watching the horses in the neighbouring field.
The views are incredible in every direction, this is a very special location that feels as if you are in an isolated spot away from everything, yet has good road connections to Brecon and Abergavenny and beyond. We returned for a second night here on our way back, and would certainly use this as a base in the future.
Lovely CL
We booked for 5 nights, but ending up staying for 12!
Situated on a 'A' road, intermittantly busy during the day, but did not impact us at night at all.
We loved the endless treks up into the hills and exploring near and far by car (highly recommend a car).
We pitched up near the fence and we're greeted daily by the truly inquisitive Hereford mumas and their calfs.
WE DID NOT WANT TO LEAVE. We will be back again for sure as 12 nights not nearly enough time to explore fully.
Lovely site, great access to walking
A lovely site, which is fabulous for access to hiking the Black Mountains.
Lucy v generously accommodated us at the last minute & met us at the gate. The site is brand new & has easy access to water, waste etc. The field is fenced in, with lovely views & friendly horses/sheep/cows as neighbours. No electric & so as close to wild camping as you’ll legally get but with all the necessary amenities for water, waste rubbish etc.
Walking trails are literally across the road, we spent a fab day up in the mountains. We’ll be back anytime we’re in Crickhowell.
Pristine CL
We stayed only a few months after the site opened, the layout of the site was perfect with regards to water and waste. Very easy access from road onto a concrete drive then into field with hardstanding type lead in.
We pitched up alongside fence to enjoy the sheep and cattle frolics. The aproach road was shut further up due to roadworks, so we had the benefit of two extremely quiet nights.
Wish Appleton all the best with their new venture.

Lovely site with very good access to the surrounding tracks and bridleways,
We spent a lovely weekend exploring the surrounding countryside by bike.
We made our way along the canal tow path and then around Talybont Reservoir.
We pitched up next to the Herefords who were very curious.
Owners are friendly and welcoming - would highly recommend the site.
