Always excellent

This is a lovely site, with excellent pitches, excellent shop and pleasant friendly staff. I am a bit mystified by the criticisms for noise from the road as the write up on the site is very clear on this, and a quick look on the map shows it sits between two of the busiest roads in Powys! Adapt to this, and it's hard to fault. If you can't, or seek absolute silence, this is not the site for you. However, excellent eateries, canal walks, either into Brecon or into the gorgeous surrounding countryside with great views of Pen Y Fan a short walk from the site, with great road links to all areas of the Beacons, make this a fab site, so peace and quiet is not far away, and frankly once in your caravan, it is not so bad. The Covid arrangements are not rocket science, and work well, and we have enjoyed several highly enjoyable and safe breaks on this site during the pandemic period. Equally, when open, the surrounding pubs and restaurants are also very well prepared for the current crisis with tables in their own cocoons in the Three Horseshoes. I believe, however this is closed until New Year. So, an excellent site, but if you are noise sensitive, take some earplugs!

Great site with fantastic wardens

We have visited this site for over 20 year’s and still love it. The location is superb with a canal walk into Brecon or plenty of countryside walks. The wardens are the hardest working I have come across in any club site. Only last week they were painting fencing, hoovering up the leaves whilst checking people in at the same time. Still had time for a lovely chat whilst working, this is a great site to visit during the winter months. Let’s hope they remain open throughout the winter months next year as I believe they have had special permission this year due to covid.

Nice site in a good location

Our first COVID trip away. I was impressed by the safety measures in place and the cleanliness of all facilities. Good site and close enough to be able to walk to Brecon along the canal. Dog walking area was well kept. Great shop on site supplying basic caravan items as well as the usual foodstuff etc.

Sept stay

Lovely large site with spacious pitches. Excellent dog walk in the woods. Facilities clean and covid safe. Wristband system seems to baffle some guests, at least twice I came out of the facilities and my wristband had gone and I was left with someone else's. As we don't like to take the motorhome out too much we usually use public transport to visit different places but due to covid we didn't feel we should so probably didn't see as much of the area as we would have liked. However, lovely walking in the local area, the canal in either direction, pen y fan and the waterfalls from the local village of Llanfrynach. The site is situated on a busy road junction so is fairly noisy but the road noise didn't bother us too much. However the noise of the local firing range was horrendous, every weekday for approx 3 hrs. Our dog hated it. I feel there should be something regarding this in the site details. The 3 horseshoes pub up the road only seemed to want to let us sit outside, even when there was space inside, which was OK while the weather was warm but we avoided it after it turned cold. Presumably a sign of covid times.

Late Sept trip

We have not previously visited Brecon before but decided on it as it was not far from home and had serviced pitches. We booked for 5 nights - my husband, myself plus our dog. On arrival we were greeted by a friendly warden who explained the checking in procedure. The warden in the office gave us a site plan and explained we were to look for the red pitch numbers. The only vacant pitches of this type were in a row together, we pitched up. The traffic noise was mentioned in the site details, which we were prepared for; however the disturbing noise was the sound of the rumble strips on the A40 as the roundabout was approached by traffic. This was more or less constant but slightly less overnight. After 2 nights we managed to get a vacant serviced pitch further away from the road - problem solved, much quieter. The site details also mentioned that there was a nearby wedding venue which might produce some noise, but given that we were not staying a Saturday night, and the current restrictions on large weddings meant that we did not feel it a problem. However, what we were not prepared for was the noise of the firing range from the barracks over the road. This happened every week day we were there. Unfortunately our dog hates the sound of gunfire and tries to hide or bury herself somewhere when it happens. We do appreciate that this is well out of the control of the wardens, but a little mention in the site details might have forewarned us of the problem. The site itself is well spaced and clean, with spotless toilet facilities. Given the current situation it is obvious that the wardens work hard to keep it that way. The shop was excellent with a wide range of food, newspapers and general camping hardware all reasonably priced. The opening hours were suitably long enough and the staff very friendly and helpful. All in all the site is excellent, and if you get the right pitch - peaceful.

Excellent site

Very good site only let down by the covid restrictions which are everywhere anyway. luckily I did not bring the dog as she would not have liked the local firing range which I had forgotten all about as I have not been this way in some years. Normally I would think this is a really good site with plenty of walking and cycling around and also the steam railway over near Merthyr Tydfil near the waterfall. I have walked a lot around here and it certainly keeps you fit. I will return.

Road noise unbelievable!

This is an excellent site very clean good space between pitches staff friendly and helpful, pitch was level with plenty of room all the way around it. Facilities were as stated in other reviews clean and well maintained. The only thing that was awful was the traffic noise which never stopped during the day and night! This must be the busiest road junction in the country, everything from motorbikes drag racing up the road to really heavy lorries braking hard to stop at the roundabout. So if you are a light sleeper like me don't except to find this a relaxing site, did get a little quieter on Friday night so maybe the same over the weekends.

What a wonderful 4 nights we had at this superb site 6th-10th Sept.

This was our first time out with our little renovated Caravan and we had the most wonderful, memorable time! Firstly we would like to thank the amazingly kind staff in reception that welcomed us. We are in our 70's and husband has a cancer with chemo drugs given daily. The importance of being COVID safe was so much the case for us. We were given our wrist bands for the hooks outside of the disabled toilet and shower facilities in order that my being secure would also be maintained. We asked about the barrier access and were given our card to activate it with no problems what so ever and found that easy to use. If we had any other concerns we asked there and then and could not have felt more welcome or safe. Our pitch was awesome and the opportunity to pick up tiny fir cones a happy memory for me as it had been so long since I had been near enough to do this ~ a simple thing that many would see as a nuisance but for us it was just a blessing! A staff member came and saw us into the pitch which was such a help, he levelled the van for us and said we could ask for help at anytime. The following morning this kind staff member and a lovely female member knocked gently on our door to see that we were both okay, they were smart in their uniform and extremely approachable. What more could anyone want! The toilet facilities were the cleanest we have ever seen in either a hotel or public convenience in the past and smelled lovely and fresh no matter what time of day. Everyone took consideration towards others and it was peaceful and and dropping off to sleep was immediate for us. Wales is a beautiful country and the people care for their country, no litter on the verge of the roads anywhere that we went and Brecon Beacons Caravan and Motorhome Site is an absolute credit to this country. We love Wales and we will be going back a.s.a.p! Thank you to the club and members for such a wonderful stay for us!
