Great site

Have spent several days at this site in September, we read the reviews, some good and some not so good, but nothing ventured nothing gained. We loved it, the wardens were very friendly and helpful. The site was great, specially the toilet facilities, clean warm ( and piped music!) . We had very little problems with any road noise. The dog walking area was really good and safe. We walked to the The Tree Horse shoe Inn, what a view from outside the pub, amazing. The pub itself is very dog friendly, with a great atmosphere and great food. We walked to Brecon, ok you have to walk across two roads, but come on, is it a problem? The shop on site is great, get there early if you want some warm rolls or croissants, wish this amenity was available on more sites. All in all a super site that is worth a visit.

Another enjoyable visit

This was only our second visit, but the magic of the Brecon Beacons hadn't changed. The site is well kept and the staff really friendly and helpful. The redeveloped facilities are tip-top. Road noise was more noticeable this time, perhaps because of wind direction? Within easy walking distance of Brecon along the canal tow-path. This weeks "find" was the Welsh Gold Miming Centre at Dolaucothi. BEWARE OF MORRISONS FUEL STATION IN BRECON - Severe Risk of grounding cars and especially caravans and Motorhomes on exit as the forecourt slopes too steeply to the road - we damaged the rear panel of our motorhome. All the locals seem to know about it, but there are no warning signs at the fuel station.

If only

If only you could pick up this site and move it away from the adjacent roads. The site is superb and is easily the cleanest and best maintained site I have been on. The grass is maintained at a optimum height of 3.8mm at all times by the 24hr running lawn mowers. Brecon itself is really nice and accessible by foot easily via the canal. The only thing that spoils the experience is the road noise (and the mowing).I wouldn't visit again due to this.

Good Location

We rather liked this site. The two toilet blocks are superb and it has a proper motorhome service point. I was surprised to find a pretty reasonable shop on site run by a lovely lady. Even had newspapers on sale which did not need to be ordered in advance. The site is unusual that of the 100 or so hardstanding pitches half of them were serviced. The WiFi seemed to work quite well which was a bonus. Brecon is not far away and it is about a mile and half walk along the canal towpath. Unfortunately you do have to cross two busy dual carriageways before gaining access to the canal so care is required. Also this access to the canal is pretty steep if you have bikes. When you get to the canal terminus in Brecon there is a handy cafe in the Theatre foyer overlooking to canal basin. Brecon is a nice town to wander around with lots of interesting shops including three supermarkets. There is a bus service to and from the site entrance between Brecon and Abergavenny but you need to check the times carefully. Unfortunately whilst we were staying here Margaret had to attend A&E in Abergavenny and I would like to thank the site staff for their help and concern.

Nice site pity about the noise

The site is modern with plenty of large pitches catering for all requirements. The staff seem pleasant and there is a shop,with items you might have forgotten on site. There is a shortish walk to the town via the canal towpath which is pretty. Brecon has many cafes and assorted shops some suitable for browsing.The areas of scenic interest are not far away. The site itself is spoiled by the noise.It is wedged between two main roads so inevitably there is traffic noise all day. If you are out and about every day this wont worry you. What might is the incessant grass mowing. The scourge of the Kobuto or Kobutu mower is very evident. We have been here two days..the mowing starts at 0900 and continues all day. It must be the case that these machines exceed noise pollution levels allowed...the drivers all wear ear defenders.! The club has a mania for short grass,and make the life of one member..a misery. When will they buy electric machines..?What is the point of a neat tidy park,that we cannot enjoy due to the mowing the blowing the cutting and the collecting..... Lets have moderation...please..

A Welsh Rarebit

We spent 10 days here from July 9th until July 19th 2017. As usual the wardens were very friendly and helpful. The staff in the onsite shop were the same and nothing was too much bother. The site itself is located a short walk along the canal from the town centre in which the usual supermarkets are located. The town centre is an interesting make up of quaint shops and several cafes and pubs are dog friendly which is a big plus for us as we go everywhere with our two dogs. The on site dog walk is really very good. On site facilities were spotless and the cleaning of them was done at a more civilised time in the afternoon. The weather could have been better but all in all we would go back again.

Are children welcome at MCC sites?

We have visited the Brecon site for many years, in fact our daughter was 6 weeks old on her first visit. The site is well kept, the shower block facilities are spotlessly clean and the increase in hard standings has been a positive move for the site. Over the years we've seen the wardens come and go however over the last 2 years we've seen a decline in their friendliness and in particular their attitude towards the children. Unfortunately we have also experienced this negative attitude towards the children from other caravanners. Please remember that this is supposed to be a family friendly site, if you don't like spending your holiday with very well behaved children who know how to respect the facilities, have good manners and respect for their elders which has been engraned in them from an early age then maybe you should work/holiday on adults only sites? The previous wardens have complemented us on our children's behaviour, in fact the did so again when we stayed in Pembrey earlier this year. Its disappointing that this type of attitude is affecting the reputation of a site which was once one of the best around.

Really enjoyed our stay

Surprised to read that other reviewers found staff rude as we did not experience this, in fact we found Sue and Phil (if I've got the names right) to be very friendly. The site and facilities are exceptionally well maintained, we couldn't hear any road noise on our pitch and we particularly liked the fairly extensive dog walk area. Very good pub 15 minutes walk from the site up a quiet lane. Take bikes if you have them as it's an easy flat ride along the canal towpath into Brecon (or about half an hour walking).

Lovely site but very rude staff

We have been coming to this site for many years. It's local to where we live so very handy in between work to get away for a couple of nights. The site is lovely and clean. Brilliant access for walking and cycling. Unfortunately this time and our previous couple of times we have found the wardens very rude, un helpful and poor attitude. We use the caravan club sites a lot, even over seas sites and have never experienced such awful staff! We have stayed at sites with fantastic wardens that really couldn't do enough for you and were very welcoming. You never get a warm welcome at this site. Unfortunately having experienced this again this time and the last couple of times, we will no longer be returing to this site again. Which is a shame. The wardens at pandy site are absolutely lovely and would recommend.
