  • 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.

What customers say

This farm campsite boasts stunning mountain views and a relaxed, "wild camping" vibe with friendly animals. Guests love the location for hiking and its closeness to local amenities. While many enjoy the peaceful setting and helpful hosts, some reviews find the facilities, especially toilets and showers, basic and needing updates. Access tracks and pitch levelling have also been mentioned as tricky by some visitors.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Location & views of the Brecons.
A very helpful lady on the phone, when I couldn't find the reception.

Disliked A mainly steep field with a few levelled bits for pitches. The pitches have been done with a massive digger and left the soil very knobbly, its like laying on a heap of rubble!

The one (and only!) disgusting shower had a broken door lock, a snapped off handle, and a large hole in the ceiling.

The two loos weren't good either, only one had had paper, at the time of my visit. Only one basin for you to wash your hands in after using the loo and the same for you to wash your face in when you wake up and wash your teeth.

The amount of crap laying around is shameful, like 4 boats, cars, heaps of rotting logs, farm equipment, a lorry artic back and a 60 foot canal barge, yup, thats not a typo error, a real canal barge rotting away. Nice!

From the manager: Thank You for staying & enjoying Coity Bach Farm.
The top shower block has 1 hot shower/2 toilets and second toilet block on the farmstead for busier times has 2 hot showers and 2 toilets and there are 3 more toilets in our top field. BINS- We have 10 x 240lts recycling bins as in Wales it is law to recycle all that can be, these are emptied weekly plus we have one 660ltr general for non recyclable waste, just at the entrance maybe missed?

Primitive grass and earth travel trailer campsite

Liked Fantastic views, in the middle of nature, friendly staff and lots to do in the vicinity.

Disliked Toilets were clean and regularly checked although they were looking a little 'tired'. For the facilities available I feel it was slightly overpriced.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank You both for staying & enjoying Coity Bach Farm. The top shower block and second one in the barn for busier time could do with a little facelift, hoping this will be achieved over this winter. Hope to welcome you back again soon. Thank you Ceri & all the team @CoityBach

Primitive grass tent campsite (mountain view)

Liked The view is nice and large space, toilets were clean. Friendly owners.

Disliked Sanitary and electricity appear quite amateurish / a high level of DIY and very basic. Toilets old but functional okay, the shower needs renovation/repair. The constructed unit itself also. The whole place is "not so tidy".

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.
