What customers say
A lovely, tranquil spot on a working farm. Folks rave about the welcoming owners, spick-and-span new showers & loos, riverside views, feeding the animals, and easy access to Brecon/Beacons hiking. Spacious pitches. A wee bit of road noise and wishing for more showers at busy times.

Would stay here again if ever back in that part of the country
Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Close to town, the owners were brilliant they came round to make sure everything was okay, they delivered firewood to your tent, they even sorted out our and others campers complaints about noisy neighbours at 3am in the morning, there’s a nice little river at the bottom of the field you can go in. Facilities were kept clean and the water was always warm they even provided water scrapers for the bathroom floors (that people should use after they have used the showers) to keep it dry for the next person. Lots of beautiful scenery near by.
Disliked Multiple people can’t use the toilet / shower block at the same time if your planning to shower there’s no water pressure and your stuck waiting for someone to finish using there tap so you can use your shower

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Location, great access and only a short drive from Brecon. It was an ideal base for our hike up Pen y Fan and around the 4 waterfalls. Clean site, not too big with great showers. I liked the fridge that was available in the washing up block. Staff were very helpful when I needed it.
