We chose to stay here for an extended weekend break at the end of July beginning of August that, unbeknown to us, coincided with the Brecon Show. Despite the location being very close to a busy road, our pitch actually backed onto it, and nearby roundabout the site was surprisingly quiet. We had a serviced pitch, which we haven't used for ages and enjoyed the laziness of not fetching freshwater and emptying grey water. The site is very well laid out and spacious and has two great shower blocks and the best shop on a site I have ever visited. The wardens were friendly and very helpful with lots of good recommendations. Although we did not have our young grandkids with us we would very much like to return because the play area looked very good indeed. The dog walk, (not to be confused with the smaller dog area cul-de-sac, was brilliant for our Daisy. I have to say though why any dog owner would opt not to pick up their dog's mess from the middle of the dog walk pathway when there are so many bins is totally beyond me! We had friends from Cardiff come to visit, they were staying at a hotel nearby, and we walked to the Brecon show along the canal from the site. It was wonderful. Not too over the top but very down to earth and really friendly atmosphere. We also drove to the Garwnant visitor centre and went walking in the forest. We would highly recommend it and on Sundays you can get a lovely roast dinner at the cafe there. The town centre is very accessible on foot and there are some lovely small shops and you have a choice of Aldi or Morrisons for your major provisions. We had a meal at the Bar Kitchen on the left hand side as you enter Brecon. Staff were lovely, food was good but service a bit slow so don't go if you are in a hurry! It was dog friendly too with bowls of water and treats readily available. We really enjoyed our very relaxing stay and loved meeting lots of lovely friendly people and fellow dog owners. We want to return and would love to do the Jazz festival at some point.
