Lovely!

The huge investment has been so worth it. We stayed here just after Easter and the facilities are wonderful. Clean, spacious and plentiful, in fact we could not fault it. The only draw back is the sound of the A40 that runs alongside, but even this is forgotten when you take in the breathtaking scenery. Walks are plentiful, with the Brecon canal a few minutes walk away. If you are feeling energetic a walk up Pen y Fan is well worth the aching legs - magic. We look forward to returning soon.

April visit 2015

3rd visit to this site Major improvements to all areas,very pleasing Highly recommend this site. Two issues during the visit 1) there is a shooting range not far away and the peacfull days were constantly spoiled by shotgun noise almost continuous some days for 4-5 hrs 2) internet on our pitch had been off for the whole of our visit pitch 26 which was fully serviced, wifi connection ok but no internet availability Reported but was told they were waiting for it to be sorted,appears not urgent but was off for our whole week with no attempts to rectify. As somebody who needs communication I was very disappointed with this aspect of the visit and if known possibly would have chose another site All other aspects were excellent as new toilet / shower blocks. And one of the best sites shops you will find anywhere.

First Time to Brecon

Stayed for 4 nights from Easter Monday. Didn't get off to a good start as when we arrived we were told there was limited water and that the wardens had called everybody due to arrive that day. Not us though. Also, a wi-fi mast was down. Thankfully, during the morning of our arrival whatever the problem with the water, it was resolved and we had no further issues during our stay. Have to say I am truly amazed the Club has the nerve to charge for wi-fi. Here the service was 'patchy' and slow. Over the years the service doesn't seem to have improved that much and is always 'work-in-progress' at the Members' expense. Back to the site. Lovely laid out pitches. Unfortunately the grass ones were too wet to use. This did thankfully prevent the never ending grass cutting that goes on hour after hour on numerous sites sending visitors mad with the noise. The grass really doesn't need to be cut so much Caravan Club. Generous in size we had plenty of space to pitch with our awning and car. Cheap, nasty, sharp stones on hardstanding were uncomfortable underfoot and tore our expensive Isabella groundsheet. Not impressed. The Facilities were spotless throughout and the Wardens were very helpful in their local knowledge. Great off-site walks and canal walk. Children enjoyed the freedom to ride their bikes and other members and Wardens were very understanding in seeing children ride around. A very good family site with a lovely play field and activity park. Brecon a 10 min drive with a large Morrisons and lots of independent shops. As a first visit to this part of Wales we were bowled over with the many great places to visit, free parking (mostly everywhere) and stunning scenery. We had great weather (every day!) Make the effort to walk to the top of Pen-y-Fan on a good day. Awesome views. The Big Pit in Blaefenon is a brilliant FREE day out to learn about coal mining and our industrial heritage. BIG THANKS to the Welsh Assembly for making so much accessible and free to visitors. (We're not Welsh) and live in England - whose tourist boards could learn a lot about how to engage with visitors. So impressed were we with the Site and location we have already re-booked for 7 nights in May half-term (on grass hopefully).

Fabulous site and area

We have just spent a week at the Brecon site and couldn't fault it. The facilities were immaculate and such friendly and helpful wardens. The walking and cycling in the area is amazing and being able to walk and cycle into Brecon an added bonus. Views from our pitch were gorgeous (89) and fellow caravanners quiet and friendly. Climbing Pen Y Fan horseshoe highlight of trip, will definitely return. Thank you to wardens who work so hard to maintain high standards.

Lovely site

Stayed here in 2011 when the site was known as Brynich. Returned for three nights over the Easter weekend. I have two dogs so plenty of walks to keep the dogs happy. The only downside is the dog walking area in the site was a little narrow and the ground uneven. Also there were a few branches with thorns over the ground where the hedges had been cut. The toilet blocks were immaculate and had been upgraded since 2011. The lovely town of Brecon is a 30 minute walk away along the canal tow path and a dog friendly pub which serves excellent food is only a ten minute walk away. The wardens were extremly friendly and dog lovers themselves . Will Definetly return Mark and June With Harvey and Ella ( tibetan terriers )

Race track

Great site, super location with stunning view of Pen-y-Fan, could see the challenge before the climb! It is just a shame that the 5mph speed limit is not recognised by a lot of drivers. We witnessed a driver pass some children who were walking on the road by driving at speed on the grass past them, could have been very nasty. Will return to this site

Not as nice as we hoped

A very big site, very busy and adjacent to a busy road junction hence noisy. Fortunately it was a one night stop for us so it was not a problem. Could not stay for more than a few nights though. Great wardens (as always) and good facilities. Brecon is a bit naff. Old and tired looking. Expected something better for a town that gives its name to an area that is so beautiful. Drive along A40 is very enjoyable round the edge of the NP.

SUPERB LOCATION

We have been going to this site since the 1980s and returned recently to discover the improvements made during the closure of the site. We were very impressed and spent a very enjoyable weekend, in no small part due to the superb location, right on the edge of the town and within easy reach of many of the beautiful sights of the National Park. The on-site facilities are excellent, especially the shop which is well stocked with a wide range of essential items. We found the wardens helpful and hard working, keeping the site tidy and attractive. We will certainly be returning to Brecon Beacons.

good location

Recently had a 5 night break here. Welcome from all the wardens was warm and friendly. Facilities are spotless, although the water saving flushes on the toilets are ineffective, you have to flush twice most of the time. Agree with another reviewer about the speed limit, many cars/ outfits passed our pitch ( number 1) at more than 5 mph. I think one reason may be the distance you have to travel to exit the site if you're pitched near the playground. Location is excellent, a pleasant walk into Brecon down the towpath. A pleasant stay but I would imagine it gets quite busy during the holiday periods.
