Small, peaceful site were you will just want to switch off and relax

We only stayed two nights at this lovely site but we will definitely be back as it's only a couple of hours from home. The volunteer wardens do a sterling job of maintaining this site including the vast amount of information available in both the office and the information shed. They were really helpful in answering the question we had about cycling and walking in the are. The site is so peacefuk and pretty and I think because it's small and you don't have the usual facilities, it made it even more relaxing and peaceful. You'll love it I'm sure. It's a little gem and I hope it remains that way. Lots to see and do in and around Brecon and it's surrounding area. A bonus is the river and canal and we now know that there is a cycle route from Brecon along the canal for some miles.

Absolutely Fabulous

Stayed here over spring BH, it was so peaceful. A great welcome from volunteers Mark and Jayne day n arrival. The site is a former railway station and is long and narrow. It’s beautifully maintained and a credit to the volunteers who run it. The site is a mixture of grass and hardstandings all well maintained. Being away from the main road it was extremely quiet, only birds to break the silence! Brecon is about 10 minutes away, also the Brecon canal is great for easy walking. Also a short drive away are Crickhowell and Hay-on-Wye, both worth a visit.

Peaceful and enjoyable.

Just spent 14 quiet nights here again, needing a relaxing break. Had the usual friendly welcome on arrival. The site was in immaculate condition, as usual. There were numerous wardens working on the flowers on one day, obviously taking great pride in the site. Always a pleasure to visit here, and the wardens always have time for a chat, also recommending some first-class local eateries. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!

Beautiful Bolthole!

A lovely peaceful site tucked away in the middle of nowhere and surrounded by fields of newborn lambs. There are no facilities other than electric here, and the tv signal is poor so it's probably not great for families. If on the other hand you want peace and quiet, it is just perfect! There is a bus stop half a mile away on the main road. To my delight I discovered that buses in Powys are free at weekends. The tireless wardens work hard keeping the site in immaculate condition. And talking of wardens - they are the friendliest, most helpful people you could ever wish to meet. Now I really hope that I haven't encouraged hoards of people to stay here as I'd like to keep this secret to myself!

Second stop of Welsh roadtrip

We first stayed here 2012 when we had a caravan and had a wonderful holiday one of the best we have had. The volunteer wardens were amazing. Now we have a campervan (Trigano Tribute) and this year for our two week hols are on a memory lane trip taking in a few new places aswell. We had just one night here 16th september. Again brilliant welcome from the volunteers fair play to them without them the site would close and it would be a sad loss. The wardens this time used to volunteer at Mildenhall so they had come a long way!! No toilet block on this site but still one of the best please dont ever close it! We will always come here when in the area.

Lovely site

We stayed on this site for two nights recently and the wardens who were volunteers David and his wife were so friendly and helpful. The site is very quiet and tranquil we stayed on the platform where you have views across the valley. The site is an old railway station and there are photos in reception of the station in its Heyday. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Would not return to this site

This was the first site we stayed at on our summer holiday. We drove 10 hours to get there, so arrived later than everyone else. As it was the weekend the place was almost full so we ended up with what felt/looked like the car park. We asked the warden if there were any other spots available, he reminded us that he was a volunteer and didn't need the hassle. Most of the vans were only there for the weekend, while we stayed on till Wednesday. As we had an awning, it wasn't worth moving the van when site emptied. Our view was of the service point and what ever car was left there each evening. The car park was quite long, but oddly the cars always parked right opposite our van. On the day we left, I asked the guy who owned the car who had parked opposite us the previous evening (instead of beside his own van) if he could move it to make it easier for us to leave. His reply was the warden told him to park there and if I had an issue then I should take it up with the warden. Apart from that, it was a quiet, pleasant site, ideally located for exploring the Brecon Beacons. Unfortunately the attitude of the warden would put off returning to this site.

Pretty Little Site

We used Aberbran on our way to and back from West Wales. Site was easy to find and we had a warm welcome from both sets of wardens. The site itself is long and narrow with mostly grass pitches, some of which are on the short size. There is a pleasant short dog walk useful for first and last walks. We called in at the PYO just up from the site, which sells fruit, together with very tasty sausages, and has friendly staff . Brecon is an interesting town, useful map available at reception. We liked the site and would use again for a longer stay.
