Super site, as is usual in our experience with the Caravan and Motorhome club. The dog walk was better than most and being able to hear the babbling river while sat in the sun with a glass of wine was just what we needed. Lovely break. Trains were not a problem, they go by so fast you are hardly aware of them. Wardens were really helpful and kept the site and facilities clean. Highly recommended.
Easy Pandy location
Pandy is close to all needed in the area and straight on main roads, for easy access anywhere.
Nice site layout and if you like trains stay on the left.
Good local shop out of gate turn left 2 miles and The Rising Sun pub, good food out gate turn right and right on main road 1 mile.
All clean and friendly and worth staying at.
Lovely site with amazing Wardens
This site really is a little gem for those wanting some peace and quiet. Yes there is a train line nearby but it is not a problem at all. Yes the shower block is a bit dated and in need of a refurb but it is kept perfectly clean and tidy.
The Wardens, Bill & Julie, truly are amazing! The greeting is so very welcoming and nothing is too much trouble for them. They work incredibly hard to maintain the site to the high standards they have set themselves. They really are a credit to the club, it is a shame they can't be cloned!
There is plenty to do on foot from site, Abergevanny and Hereford are a short bus ride away. The pub located near to site are trying their best and it is worth paying a visit to. The Skirrid Inn is approximately a 30 mins gentle stroll away, apparently the oldest pub in Wales.
We cannot wait to return to this wonderful site.
Another great stay.
A brief two night stay for a cycle race early on Sunday. An excellent site, well run, very clean and well kept. We are back again in September for a longer stay and looking forward to it.

Just how a site should be run!
Stayed five nights 12th to 17th July 18. From the moment we arrived we felt at home on the site and realised we had arrived at a special little spot. Unlike others the railway was no issue nor was the nearby trunk road.
The wardens were very welcoming and had their hand on all the information we required about the local area, explaining footpath options, public transport, shops selling local produce and of course the best pubs. Local 1-25000 os maps a bonus. Flat pitches which were intersperced with hard and grass pitches.
The toilet/shower block was spotless although it was dated and deserves the modern facilities that some less cared for sites benefit from.
The Carpenters arms at Walterstones, 2 miles from the site, is a must for anyone wishing to experience a quality meal/cask ales served in a truly friendly local hostelry. Abergavenny is 6 miles away or thereabouts and there area number of footpaths to take you there although they will take you through valleys and some hill climbing. The lanes and tracks are suitable for cycling and you are able to avoid the trunk road. It is a nice market town with enough to entertain you for a full day if you like walking and exploring.
All in all a great site and unusually for us one we intend to go back to.

Lovely site
Stayed here for 12 nights made very welcome by great wardens. In beautiful location with plenty of things to do. Great cycling and challenging hills surround the site.
Old favourite that is looking a little tired and worn
Spent 3 nights here in July, in glorious weather. Have visited many times before as it is easy to find and the location is good. Pretty and pleasant site, with lots of flower tubs for colour. Bus stop is just outside of the site, which takes you to Abergavenny or Hereford. The site is quiet, despite being well used, cosy, good sized grass pitches, the trains are not an issue for us (except that the trees are overgrown which block any view) - however if you are a light sleeper we would advise you use earplugs as the trains do run all through the night.
Disappointing is the toilet block/facilities. We first stayed here back in 2007 and it appears that it has not received any attention since! Despite the best efforts of the wardens to maintain hygiene and cleanliness, the inside requires complete renovation and refit. There are areas of damp on ceilings and walls, dated plumbing, wall tiles from the 1980's and the shower heads vary from one cubicle to another, some work, some don't. Whilst there is hot water and this may be adequate for some club members, there are other sites within the Club network who provide far superior modern facilities.
Beyond the control of the CAMC, but worthy of note is the declining Old Pandy Inn, where the welcome is less than warm, despite the location at the end of the lane/site entrance - (days with no draught beer!!).
If you venture into Abergavenny, Neil Powell the Butcher on Frogmore Street is well worth a visit for the finest in local fresh and cooked meat products to tempt your tastebuds.
Great site in the Black Mountains.
We have stayed on this site a lot due to cycle racing and cycling events in the area. In fact we have 3 more visits planned.
The site is very well maintained and in a great location . The Wardens are great and very helpful, nothing is too much trouble for them.
A great site.

A little gem
We stayed here for 2 weeks to explore the Black Mountains area of Wales. Having read all of the reviews before we booked, we were apprehensive but actually had a superb holiday. The site was full both weekends but didn't feel busy! The facilities are dated as many people have commented, but they were kept clean and tidy and didn't seem particularly busy even when the site was full. We worried about the train noise before we arrived, but quite honestly weren't disturbed by them at all - yes the trains run quite frequently and yes they run through the night but never once were we awakened by them. Wardens were friendly and helpful and an excellent dog walk area - all in all a super site!!
Beautiful Surroundings
This site is in a beautiful position just in the Breacon Beacons National Park and in the Black Mountains.
As usual, toilets/showers impeccably clean and warm.
Some folk may find the trains intrusive, especially overnight when the freight trains come past. Solution...........take some ear plugs; I always have them as my husband snores to wake the dead!! I was awoken the first night but put the plugs in and didn't hear a thing after that.
Small price to pay for such scenery.
Will definitely return.
