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).
