Liked: Excellent getaway-from-it-all country site on the edge of the beautiful Brecon Beacons. Stunning site, fully serviced hard standing pitch overlooking river… 20 mins drive for fuel & supplies so we arrived prepared. Friendly and helpful staff and shower block well maintained. Incredible wildlife seen during our stay including squirrels, rabbits, owls, buzzards, red kites, robins, chaffinches, blue tits, nuthatches, tree creepers, dippers, sand martins (to name a few)!.. great base for river fishing. A tranquil site we intend to return to for a longer stay! 👍
Disliked: No dislikes although a few basic supplies in a shop on site would be a welcomed addition. No TV reception but that’s fine with us as this is a place to step away from routine and breath in the fresh country air (strong wi-fi if you need to stay connected)!

Liked: The site itself is fine, probably just not for us. Overlooks a bend on the Irfon river - ideal for fishing. Site well maintained, although a bit water-logged.
Disliked: Unless you enjoy fishing, there is not much else on for families - although there is a very small playground hidden away. There doesn't seem to be many local footpaths, so walks are on the roads which is less than ideal.

Liked: Great little touring area, the site is clean and tidy. The individual wet rooms and toilet facilities were spotless and of an excellent standard, the underfloor heating was a bonus and I actually felt like you could shower and get dry properly unlike most pokey shower cubical son campsites. Location is perfect to visit nearby towns and lots of nice walks. The river on the site is lovely. Lin and her sister are great, texted before arriving and met us at the gate and came up to our pitch to make sure everything was ok, that was at 7.30pm! Will be returning for sure, we love to stay at 5 star small sites and this one ticked all the boxes.
Disliked: Nothing - everything was great

Liked: Beautiful area around the park with the river irfon being particularly stunning. We fished all day and although did not catch it was very early in the year and I think we may have spotted a salmon. Local pub the Prince Llewelyn, had excellent food. The ladies at the site were very friendly. Overall 10/10

Liked: The elevated position of the pitches separated away from the statics. The pitches themselves were generous in size and each had their own water supply and drainage point for grey water. The showers and toilets (only for use by tourers) were kept spotlessly clean and were positively luxurious by some site standards with spacious individual wet rooms. Andrew was friendly, helpful and very professional. I'm sure that the impression he gave that nothing was too much trouble was a very genuine one. He and his team certainly kept the site in good order; it was an extremely attractive site.
