Excellent Site

We stayed for 8 nights in May with our 2 cocker spaniels. This is by far the best site we have stayed at, after 2.5 years of touring. Apart from some road noise, we couldn't fault anything. The Three Horseshoes Pub was a 15 minute walk away, and a 1.5 mile or so stroll along the canal took you into Brecon itself. Clearly the area is for those who wish to have a more adventurous type holiday, but there is enough to do for everyone, whatever their ability. The staff were 10 out of 10, as well as the facilities. Brilliant shop, very well stocked and reasonably priced. We have nothing bad to say, we loved it here and will be back next year, but for longer. As a Welshman, I felt very proud that a site located in this area of outstanding beauty was so good.

Good position for walking and eating

Was put off staying at this site because of remarks regarding road noise. There are pitches that are further away from the roads so that the noise is minimised. All as expected from C&M sites efficient pleasant staff and clean facilities. Good for walking into Brecon, about 2 miles and also along the canal path to Pencilli, about 4 miles along the tow path or 3.5 if you use a B road for parts of the way. The local pub, Three Horse Shoes, about three quarters of a mile is an absolute find with great food. The walk is along a track and a quiet country lane. The dog walk is also excellent.

Some traffic noise.

Excellent site. Level with easy access. Staff helpful. Facilities clean and tidy. There is some road noise due to imbeciles on motorbikes screaming up and down the surrounding roads, especially at weekends. There is a wedding venue next to the site, so you may hear some music if there happens to be one going on while you are there, (never experienced this myself). DON'T GET FOOLED INTO USING THE ONSITE WIFI. I did, (on this and a previous site). It took my money and refused to allow me access despite showing me how many hours, minutes and seconds I still had left. Total rip off......TWICE. Never again. (No reply to my complaint from either site as yet).

Ideal for Brecon and the Beacons

First time here. Welcoming staff, although agree with other reviewers that it is a little confusing trying to find ‘your pitch’ other sites use a pitch reservation system which would be good?) Decided on Pitch 65-67. In hindsight we would have tried to go for one further from the main roads (noisy!) Also, one electrical hook up point on shared post not working (reported but not fixed), also the water for our ‘serviced pitch’ stopped working after a few hours. By this time we were settled and didn’t want to go through relocation (lazy I know). But we had faith that site staff would resolve (unfortunately not) On the positive side, it’s a clean, tidy and well maintained site Ablutions block was spotless and warm Small but well stocked site shop Short walk to local pub (Three Horse Shoes) Nice walk along tow path to Brecon Ideal for Beacons

Good for access to Brecon but...................

There is a lack of choice if you want to stay close to Brecon so to moan about the proximity of the road is a bit pointless, but it is a noisy site almost all over the site. As usual facilities are spotless, there is a large children's play area (with equipment) and a "better than most" dog walking area. Walking to Brecon town and to a local pub are all within easy reach. However, there is more white paint on the roads than on a town centre carpark with a one way system which leaves you dizzy. Following a not very friendly "welcome" we were told to look for a red marker pitch, but not where there were any free spaces - 2 loops around the one way system including an exit barrier and re-admittance required to find anything. Can the booking system not reveal the remaining vacant pitches? We didn't need a full service pitch, but this was the only option available on booking despite there being a number of empty standard and grass pitches on site. All pitches are highly regimented with no inter-pitch planting to offer some privacy or soften the image. Notices everywhere telling (not asking) you what you can and can't do. PS: We've just paid £12 less for a 3 day stay than for the 2 days at Brecon; OK the facilities are not the same standard, but the site location (lakeside), the welcome and the ambiance are far superior.

Superb closeby dog walk - a bit noisey

Very very organised site manned by exceptionally helpful staff. The covid regulations feel a bit excessive nowadays. There is a fair amount of noise from the nearby road, but you soon get used to it and it is not onerous. Superb and lovely walk along a river nearby on the quiet side of the site. Fantastic views to the Brecons from the local pub which is maybe 15-20 mins walk. Brecon town is charming and better resourced than we expected, and worth a saunter around. An efficient site with views to the hills from areas on the site.

Great site

Brilliant site we always have a good stay here shame it's not open all year. Only one issue was the amount of dog mess in the dog walking areas it was only a couple of days into the new season not good just pick it up and bin it.

Wonderful Site

I read all the reviews on this site before arriving and thought oh my, this site is going to be awful. Well it most assuredly isn't. It's by 2 main roads, you can see that on the map, so don't complain about road noise - what do you expect!!! The site is spotlessly clean, the grass mown to within an inch of its life, the toilet blocks pristine and warm and welcoming. We didn't use the shop, so cannot comment on that, but there is a shop. Saturday night a pizza van turned up which was very nice. There are so many walks and bike rides from this site. Just over the road you can access the canal and you can walk into Brecon or into the countryside. Its a wonderfully leisurely walk, level (it being a canal) and you can ride your bike along it for miles. Don't be suprised if you get wet and muddy, it does have puddles along the way. Brecon itself is not that exciting, but there are a few nice shops and coffee shops, so its worth a visit for an afternoon. We drove up to Pen-y-fan where there is lots of parking in the form of laybys all along the road complete with burger vans and magnificent views. The walk up Pen-y-fan is very do-able with a wide well looked after path, but it does get very busy in high season, even in March it was busy. All in all we thoroughly enjoyed our few days in Brecon and would recommend it.

Noisy site.

Stayed at Brecon Beacons site for October half term, booked fully serviced pitches, arrived just after site opening time for access and were advised of 3 supposedly vacant pitches together as we were travelling with 2 units. Arrived at pitches to find all 3 taken. Followed map to other pitches to find all were by the 2 very noisy roads. No option but to pick 2 together, thought the trees all around site may subdue noise, big mistake. Noise was virtually continuous, with now the addition of all sorts of leaves, seeds and cones dropping off trees on to caravan roof. Unlike all other sites we have been to all the rubbish/recycling bins were by the 1 toilet block that was open, site shop was opening reduced hours/days due to staff shortages and stock had been let run down as closing at end of the week. Site facilities were clean and COVID measures in place though not everyone observing them. Lessons learnt don’t pick pitches near trees, don’t believe arrival times. Have been disappointed with the quality of club sites this year, premium prices for poor to average pitches. Even split this year with half sites visited disappointing.
