Nice little site on a working farm, would book again.
Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Location is handy for the mountains, nice river right by the site. Spacious site and well set up facilities. The shower block and washing up facilities are modern and well organised. The planter with herbs in for cooking was a nice touch.
Disliked If I was being fussy I’d say the showers needed a bit more of a clean, the clogged shower plug hole with loads of old hair wasn’t great.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked Rhydywernen Farm is a real gem. The facilities were spotless throughout our stay, with clean toilets, well-maintained showers, and a constant supply of hot water. It’s a peaceful and scenic spot, ideally located for exploring the Brecon Beacons. Excellent access to walking routes, with only a short walk or drive to mountain paths. Highly recommended—will return.
