Reviewer: Dream Catcher 21 reviews from this member

 This site has everything that you would expect from the Caravan Club. Spotless toilet blocks, beautifully maintained grounds and well informed staff. Who refreshingly didn't tell us which way we had to face, something that has in the past irked a bit on club sites.

Traffic was a bit noisy but the site is within easy reach of Brecon town centre and the canal, which provided a fantastic setting for a cycle ride.

I might well visit this site again. I definitely will visit the Brecon Beacons again and there are lots of sites to choose from.

Reviewer: Delmarjo 4 reviews from this member

 Excellent site for location, friendliness, and amenities.

We took my mum away for 2 days and she was extremely impressed. There is a bus stop outside the front gates for those like my mum who is unable to walk very far this takes you right into brecon. There is quick access to the canal and cycle routes.

We had a super few days at this site and is definitely one of our favourites. So glad it is virtually on our doorstep

Reviewer: Deefa127 3 reviews from this member

 When arrived this site was perfect. Lovely friendly staff and a really clean and tidy site. We stayed in a fully serviced pitch which looked lovely. The only problems was the local pub/restaurant was closed and the only alternative was a pub called the three horse shoes about 1 1/2 miles away down through the dog walking path. The path was covered in dog mess and the pub was not that good! The site is situated with gorgeous views but right next to a bypass that you cant see which is fine until the weather is good and all the bikes use it as a race track.

 Just spent two nights on site and considering the amount of rain we have had the site seemed to be holding up well, plenty of hard standings on site some of which are fully serviced.

Very friendly wardens. The site has stunning views of the Brecon Becons and although next to a busy road we didn't notice any noise. Well stocked shop that has a little of everything. Recycling on site. Excellent shower and toilet facilities.

Brecon is about a mile away along canal towpath flat easy walking. Good bus service which stops right outside site.

Lots to do in and around brecon, walking, canoeing and canal boats are easily available. Good flat routes for cyclists linked to national cycle routes.

We had a stunning meal in the Three Horse Shoes about 10 mins walk away from site.

Ample dog walk.

Adventure playground was roped off but there seemed to be plenty for kids to do.

Would recommend

Reviewer: Scarletsfan 92 reviews from this member

 A well groomed site with the picturesque Brecon Beacons as a dramatic backdrop.

The Caravan Club have only recently taken over the running of this site so it does not look like a club site. The facilities are however spot less and the two amenity blocks coped admirably with a full site over the BH weekend.

The site boasts an excellent dog walk.

The site is close to both the A40 and A470 so expect a bit of background road noise, nothing too obtrusive. Light pollution is at a minimum so the night skies can be spectacular.

The site has a mini market that sells just about everything, a bit expensive, but so are most site shops. Brecon town centre is just over a mile away with a Morissons and a host of other shops.

First visit here but think it will be one of our regular sites.

Reviewer: Cappie 1 review from this member

 Stayed at Brynich second week of Easter for 3 nights. Pitch was with electric hook up, even though serviced pitches were available and our spot in particular was an excellent size, plenty of room for awning. There were two toilet blocks on site that were clean and the showers hot. Especially liked the fact that when one toilet block was shut for cleaning, the other was kept open and vice versa. The shop had lots of variety, but did shut between 12 and 3pm. The walk into Brecon along the canal tow path was excellent and took us including an 8 & 11 year old approximately 30 minutes and we saw some ducklings on the way, but as mentioned previously you do have to cross a dual carriageway, but not a major problem. The Three Horseshoes pub was a pleasant 10 minute walk from the site, family and dog friendly with their resident dog enjoying the surroundings. The food was excellent, if a little pricey, but the service was superb and you may need to book in advance. The kids enjoyed the Play Barn attached to the site and there was plenty of room for them to play, but unfortunately the adventure playground was out of bounds and roped off. Also The Barn restaurant is now only open for functions. Overall really enjoyed our stay, it was relaxing with fantastic scenery. Will definitely go back.

Reviewer: Mark 65 1 review from this member

 Great site especially for families . Loads of kids between about 4 & 11 (inc ours ) all playing happily together over Easter bank holiday. The site even put on an egg hunt on the Sunday and basically every kid ended up with an Easter egg which I thought was a nice touch.
Very dog friendly with excellent dog walk. Toilet block was fine with very roomy showers. Well stocked shop on site and very helpful people on reception. The sun was shining which made the stunning views of the beacons even better than usual, took a stroll into brecon via both the canal and the river usk, brecon being a very nice market town.
Our pitch on the site was enormous could have got 3 motorhomes on it! Local pub was a 10 min stroll down a quiet lane backing onto the site. Word of warning though the public footpath in the lane that goes across a field towards the canal does end up in someones front drive!
Only slight complaint of site is that it is next to quite busy road which to be fair was not that bad and did nt affect our sleep. Overall would definitely recommend

 Very tidy campsite, friendly owners. Well situated for walking and cycling. We have visited this site on several occasions and always had a good time. Toilets and showers adequate and clean, on site shop and restaurant very useful. Friends have also stayed at this site following our recommendation, and never had any negative feedback. Will be interesting to see the site develops now it is a caravan club site.

Reviewer: Melc36 7 reviews from this member

 We had a grass pitch at this site, number 43b, after all the rain we had at the beginning of September the ground was very muddy and slippery, site cannot be blamed for the weather.

Site is very clean and tidy, showers and toilets are 10/10 cleaned regularly and there is plenty of hot water. Shop on site which is well stocked albeit a little pricey. Small children's play area there is an adventure playground but this was closed during our stay. There is an indoor play area just at the entrance of the site called the Barn which is ok to entertain youngsters if it is raining.

There is a local pub which is about a 15 minute walk from the site through the wooded area past the adventure playground just follow the signposts.

On the downside there are no speed bumps on the roads around the site, there are 5mph signs, but there were many people on site who seemed to ignore these and were travelling much too fast around the site which could lead to serious injury.

All in a lovely site in a lovely place will definitely return.

Reviewer: Kernow Camper 265 reviews from this member

 Beautifully kept site, now run the by Caravan Club. Friendly wardens with local knowledge. We had booked a grass pitch back in January but they 'upgraded' us to a hardstanding on arrival due to flooding a few days before - this was not a gravel hardstanding but a matted (ie plastic underneath) grass hardstanding???? It stopped us getting stuck in the mud but didn't stop the grass / mud getting in the camper (on the dogs paws!).
2 toilet blocks, both spotless and never full. Fab indoor washing up area with plenty of sinks, commercial laundry equipment, a freezer and a cooler for campers use. The shop was a Spar mini-market and was very well stocked with all sorts including camping accessories, daily newspapers and magazines. Good dog walk on site, although it was very muddy at the time!
Bus stop right outside the site. We didn't use it because the walk into Brecon was an easy, flat 30/40 min stroll along the canal towpath. We even saw baby ducklings - in September?!?!?! Brecon itself is a quiet little town with a castle and cathedral to explore. Brynich Lock and Aquaduct can be found about 1.5 miles in the opposite direction along the canal towpath.
The Barn Restaurant (just off site) was fantastic for lunch (the Barn burger with hand cut chips was to die for and reasonable @ £7.95!). In the evenings they offer an A-La-Carte menu which is quite expensive but a lovely place to eat.
There is also a local pub within walking distance from the site but I wouldn't let me dog eat there! The carpet was filthy and the whole place could've done with a spring clean! Can't comment on the food as we didn't hang around long enough to find out!
The views of the mountains from this site are wonderful. Highly recommended site.

Date of Visit: August 2008 Unit:  Trailer Tent
Reviewer: Magsx1 8 reviews from this member

 We have just returned from a two week stay here.

The pitch was level and large enough for our TT, we had electric and water disposal.

We had asked to be away from the childrens play area and were still put a bit close for my liking but were not too disturbed by the noise, but I wasn't keen on the children whizzing round the roadways not only for my safety but for the childrens as well.

The staff were very helpful, The toilets/showers were kept clean, I only waited 2 mins on one occasion for the showers not bad in 2 weeks!

The laundry/ washing up /Elsan / facilities were good.

The bus from Brecon comes into the site entrance 2 hourly and costs £1.10 per adult each way.

But you can walk along the canal which takes approx 40 mins at a nice slow pace.

The 'Barn' restaurant was lovely, pricey but worth the money we ate there on 4/5 occasions.

But book early.

Brecon itself is a bit disappointing but ok for nipping into for provisions.

We drove out and about from the site to various places including Mumbles which is a nice place, the Gower penuinsula,and up into the Mountains/Hills nearby.

The Farmers Arms does lovely food which is a drive away but worth it.

The chinese (called NO 1) in Brecon is good if you get the right staff serving you. The first time we went was in the evening and was great, the second was during the Jazz festival and the daytime but we felt they couldnt be bothered with the service, but having said that the food was still lovely.

We also went to the local farmers market and watched the sale of sheep which was entertaining.

All in all we enjoyed ourselves the site was well maintained and the pitches fine and well spaced/marked out, but thought that the people onsite could have been more considerate with their children and dogs and noise they made.

Oh yes I must mention the road noise! sorry to say - it only gets quiet for approx 2 hrs per night, so if you cant sleep when noisy then this site will not be for you.

Reviewer: Wendybea 1 review from this member

 This site is situated within walking distance of Brecon which makes it an ideal base for all sorts of outdoor activities.

The shower blocks are clean and tidy even if the water temperature can be a bit erratic at times. The site is kept in good condition, hedges trimmed and grass cut. The wardens are all very friendly with the exception of the two women on the reception desk who frankly could do with taking a course in customer care, however once you are passed these two you will find that the site has a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. I am not sure why next year they are not allowing tents to have electric hook up, which is one reason why I won't be returning to the site.

Reviewer: Champs 2 reviews from this member

 Just returned from a fantastic weekend at this site and would certainly visit again. It is ideal for families as there is lots for the children to do - a large recreation field with swings, an adventure playground with lots of stuff to climb on near the shallow river to paddle in, and a smaller playground for the under 9's with a tractor to ride on, slide and other equipment.

There is also a separate dog walk so they are kept away from the childrens play areas. In addition there is a soft indoor playarea (costs about £3/4 to get in) in case the weather is bad. We found the facilities to be excellent - lovely hot showers and very clean. The toilet block was close to the tent field too so was easily reached by our (just) potty trained toddler!

There is some traffic noise but not enough to disturb your sleep and you can also hear cows mooing from neighbouring fields. Even though the site was quite full on the Saturday night it was very quiet by about ten pm. Beautiful views of the mountains from many parts of the site.

The shop staff were very helpful - it was our first camping trip and had not bought the correct connector for our gas stove but they sorted this out for us even after they were supposed to have finished work.

We visited Brecon on the Sunday and found almost all the shops closed so was a bit disappointed, but had lunch in the Puzzle Tree pub - food was nice without being anything special, but suitable for families.

We would certainly return to this site again.

 This is an excellent campsite. The check in was very efficient and friendly. The site was very well looked after and the shower block was spotless. There was plenty of hot water (very hot!) and the washing up facilities were excellent; it was nice to be indoors for that. Unlike a previous reviewer, we did not hear the road and it was very quiet. Brecon is very close and it is possible to park a motorhome in Morrisons carpark. Also, you get your pound back if you present part of your ticket at the check-in.

We only had one night here but will definitely be back; hopefully for a week next time.

 Have spent most of the past 8 Easter week-ends at this site! This year, it was taken over by the Caravan Club after years of development by the Jones family. Indeed, we were the first to actually pay our fees to the CC after takeover!

A great site in a superb location!
