 We spent 5 days here with our four children (1,3,5 and 7) on our first ever camping trip and I thought this site was FANTASTIC. The grounds were beautifully kept and the showers and kitchen/washing up area were immaculate. We had a massive pitch, although spaces did fill up once the jazz festival got under way. It's a safe site for kids and the staff are all very helpful. The shop had a good selection of the basics. The walking information book that has been produced by the owner has some useful walks/cycle rides, although be warned if you are doing any of these with small children the timings are completely out - make sure you leave longer to do them.
In regards to the queues for the disabled/family bathrooms I think the previous reviewer has been slightly harsh. It is normal at busy times for there to be queues and floors will always be slippy in a wet room environment. The owners have provided large squeegies to remove most of the floor surface water and if water remains, it is inconsiderate users, not unthinking owners that have caused this problem. What might solve the problem would be to have a disabled only toilet as well as the bathroom facility.
Overall, I think this site has been sympathetically designed and as said before it is fantastically maintained.

Have just returned from Pencelli Castle. This is a very attractive and well spaced site with clean facilities. However, the disabled facilities were both inadequate and dangerous. For the duration of our stay the floor was very wet and slippery -as this facility is also used by families . There was no control on the use of these facilities, and unfortunately were even used by able bodied teenagers. My mother who is paraplegic was kept waiting 20 minutes before she could visit the toilet and have a shower. Every visit involved a queue of various times. This site is fine for able bodied individuals, but is not disabled friendly and should not be rated as highly for this reason. The safety issue in both disabled toilets because of the floor condition is of concern and should be rectified with the use of a radar key for all disabled guests.
I should like to conclude by noting the polite and friendly nature of the staff who could not help with the queues for the disabled toilets and the wet slippery floor. I sincerely hope that this safety issue is rectified before there is an accident.

Just back from a long weekend here. A lovely tranquil site set in a peaceful area of outstanding beauty. We had a pitch in the Oaks field, which had a mix of tents and caravans, close to the amenity block.
The toilets / shower facilities were the best we've seen, very clean. The shop was very limited, with normal camp site prices, but the staff were very helpful, and our children loved the playground and the deer in the adjoining field. The site is kept in an immaculate condition, and the borders would put to shame some of the best kept gardens. Even the sun came out for all 3 days! Will definitely book again.

I thought this site was fantastic !
It is well laid out and very attractive gardens throughout. Lots of wildlife around - squirrels and ducks ( all very tame ! ). Small pretty looking pond with fish. Beautiful views of the surrounding countryside.Situated in a small, quiet village.
Owners and staff very helpful and friendly.
Pitches vary in size. I asked for a 'large' pitch ( with electric ) for my 9 man tent and we had plenty of room.
Small but nice looking play park for children ( although possibly a bit far from some pitches for children to go unaccompanied - but I guess this will depend on their age ).
Small shop / reception area selling essentials.
Showers and toilets always very clean. Free hot water and a free hair dryer. Separate facilities available for disabled.
Dish washing facilities again very clean and adequate. Fridges and freezers available for your use.
Local information room very informative.
I stayed here when the site was full but it never seemed crowded and I never had to queue for showers etc.
I would DEFINITELY recommend this site and will DEFINITELY return myself.

Excellent site, catering for caravans, mobile homes and tents with or without EHU.
Location: Perfect for adventure in the Brecon Beacons and Black Mountains. Situated in a peaceful village with a reasonable pub. The site has direct (although steep) access to the Brecon and Monmouthshire canal. The place is teaming with wildlife. The nearest supermarket is a short drive to Brecon, Although neighbouring Tal-yBont has a good village shop, (and a couple of pubs to boot).
Site: Good size pitches, though number of "marked" pitches for large tents and caravans are limited. (This is a good thing! :-). The main tent field is large, gently sloping with well cared for grass and there is oodles of space for kids to run around. There are also picnic tables dotted around the site for all to use.
Facilities: Toilets, showers, laundry (including drying room), washing up room and information room including 4 big fridge freezers and internet access are all top notch. (Although I have to admit the piped soothing music began to grate after the 2nd day!). The camp shop was limited but had all the essentials.
Overall: A cracking site in a peaceful location with easy access to all the outdoor pursuits in the area.

The facilities on this site are the best I have seen, they seem to have thought of everything. Its in a lovely, scenic location, and has a small park for the kids.
Well located, just 5 minutes from the main A road that will get you all the places you will want to visit.

A very popular site, tried to book here twice before but was always full, managed to get in on our third attempt!
We had a hard standing pitch near the toilet block and it was of great size. It had hook up and water and drain.
The toilets were great and deserve there Loo of the Year award. Good little shop, sold great ice cream!
We paid £19 a night, not the cheapest but worth every penny. No dogs, great!

Fantastic little site very close to the walking areas of the Brecons.
The facilities were spotless, and complemented by a full drying room which was essential, as boots and waterproofs took a hammering during our visit. Excellent little pub a short walk away. Is very close to main town for supplies. Very pleasant people who run this wonderful site, despite the fact that it was rather expensive.I suppose you get what you pay for, and it certainly hasn't put us off coming again.

This was the first camping trip I had taken for over 10 years and found the site fantastic! All facitilites were well maintained and clean, the owners were extremely friendly and helpful and the layout of the site was excellent. Would recommend to anyone!

This site is 99% perfect ! The rule 'No noise or shouting ' may seem a bit draconian but it means the site is relaxed , friendly and allows everyone to enjoy what we're really there for - sitting on a chair with a glass of wine and a book !
There is an excellent play area for the children and the toilets and showers are fantastic- cleaned twice every 24 hours with classical music playing and family bathrooms with shower,toilet,hairdryer,baby bath and potty .
They've thought of everything a camper in Wales could need , there's a boot and coat drying room where tenters also dried towels , internet access and a useful information room where campers also swapped magazines and books!
The only downside was the shop which is poorly stocked , considering the nearest place to buy any food is Brecon 4 miles away and on alternate days only opens for 2 hours a day.
Overall though a quiet friendly site with spotless facilities where the owners have spent money on giving you a high quality stay
