We stayed at Aberbran for a week at the end of May 2024. It's a small, quiet site, which used to be a railway station until closure in the 1960s. As a result, it's long and thin, which can make manoeuvring at the top end a challenge for long outfits. The wardens were really friendly and there's plenty of information on things to do in the area. There's a nice walk into Brecon across the fields, but it's very badly signed and, after taking a wrong turn and wading through very deep cow muck, we were rewarded with a lecture on closing gates from a VERY grumpy farmer (we HAD closed all the gates...) It gave us something to chuckle about for the rest of the week though. Brecon itself is a lovely town with a very impressive cathedral, and plenty of shops, eating places and cafes. We'd recommend climbing Pen Y Fan (the easiest route is from Pont ar Daf car park on the A470). There aren't any pubs within easy walking distance, but for meals we'd definitely recommend the Tai'r Bull Inn, Libanus and the wonderful Shoemakers Arms, Pentre-bach, both just a short drive from the site. This is a lovely area for walking and scenery, particularly if the weather is good!
