  • Friendly site on a farm in the Brecon Beacons National Park
  • Just over a mile's walk to pubs in Talybont-on-Usk
  • Meet the farm animals on site; bicycle hire nearby in the village
Bed down in the Brecon Beacons National Park – and have yourself a slice of proper Powys farm life while you’re at it too. Set on Bryn Hill, with views of the Black Mountains, Coity Bach is a welcoming and friendly rural site on a farm just over a mile from the pretty little village of Talybont-on-Usk. This is a prime area for walkers. The Beacons Way trail can be accessed directly from the farm, and if you're up for climbing the national park's highest mountain, it's a 30-minute drive to the main car park for Pen y Fan (alternatively, on foot from the farm, the summit is a four- or five-hour round-trip hike). There's also excellent terrain for cycling around these parts: hire a bike in the village if needed. Budding farmhands can get stuck into various tasks on site, helping out with the goats and horses, while those in search of more relaxing times can simply settle down in a serene setting for idle hours on site. Either way, it’s worth staying awake until after dark if you can: there’s some great stargazing to be done here, and barbecues and campfires are both allowed to keep you warm while you do just that. As for sprucing yourself up too, communal amenities on site include showers, toilets, a washing-up area with double sinks, a laundry area and a drying room. There are also charging and recycling facilities. If you are indeed planning a barbecue or firepit, both can be hired at the farm; wood is for sale, too, alongside meat, eggs and honey. To eat out, four pubs are within a mile and a half at Talybont-on-Usk. And for bigger towns, the farm is a 15-minute drive from Brecon, 20 minutes from Crickhowell, half an hour from Abergavenny and 35 minutes from Hay-on-Wye.

Non-electric grass and earth touring pitch

Liked The views were just lovely, owners/family members seemed nice, campsite cats and farm dogs all friendly. It was peaceful and only a 30 minute walk down to Talybont-on-Usk. We found the path along the canal and it was lovely. Didn't stay long enough to explore further, but seems a good base to walk from.

Disliked Toilets and single shower block needed a bit of TLC. It wasn't that busy and we didn't need to use the facilities much as we were in our van, but I imagine if it was busy, those two toilets and one shower wouldn't be enough.

Also, not a dislike but worth mentioning that most pitches aren't really that level (it is on the side of a hill after all) so if you're in a van, don't forget your levelling blocks. The road up is quite narrow and a bit steep at the end but we got up it fine.

Non-electric grass and earth touring pitch

Liked Loved the views! And the owner and staff are really lovely, and all the animals!
Proper chilled lovely walks and lovely local pub even though it’s a 30min walk lol.

Disliked Nothing really, if I’m being picky maybe a better toilet/shower set up, a lot of people were using the facility’s at the same time in the morning and the water pressure disappeared but apart from that I loved it

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for the great comments about views and staff. Did you cut through the wall way to the pub as only 2 fields will have to put a map up between showers and toilets for everyone. Yes, showers and toilets were very busy our booking numbers were more than August back holiday due to the amazing weather. Thank you for staying with us and hope you come again!

Very welcoming as relaxed campsite, lovey…

Non-electric grass and earth touring pitch

Liked Nice friendly owners that went above and beyond to please. Credit to them. Views stunning combined with peace and tranquility. Left to it and none regimental. Other users were quiet and respectful. Made a good friend in the beautiful farm cat who we named Mogsey - got a visit both mornings and came to sleep on our mat. Staff did the rounds on an evening with logs and fresh produce - real bonus. Talybont was a short walk with an excellent cafe serving quality food and Indian food. We’d stay again.

Disliked Pitches not very level. Toilet and showers needed an overdue upgrade. Bit of a walk too sometimes having to queue. Lane up to the site a bit nail biting.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for staying with us. The cat named Batman loves the campers lol. Yes, 4 toilets and 3 eco ones on bank holiday is a little busy especially the 2 on the bottom field. Thank you !

Local attractions

Being in the Brecon Beacons, this is naturally excellent hillwalking territory – you can head straight out onto paths directly from the farm, or ask your hosts for tips on local routes, including the Taff Trail, Henry Vaughan walk and Usk Valley Walk. If you’re trying to tick off a mountain or two, make a beeline for Pen y Fan (30 minutes' drive) or the Sugar Loaf (35 minutes) For a bigger variety of alfresco activities, head to Llangorse Lake (20 minutes) for rock climbing, watersports and horse riding outings. Closer by, Cantref Adventure Farm (15 minutes) has riding lessons and horseback treks, plus all sorts of family antics including crazy golf, tractor rides and Europe’s longest sledge ride (oh, and pig racing…) The natural scenery around here is spectacular, of course – and the towns are pretty too. Crickhowell (20 minutes), Abergavenny (half an hour) and bookshop-filled Hay-on-Wye (35 minutes) are all worth a wander.
