 Similar to previous reviews. Liked it enough to stay a second week.
Relaxed and friendly staff. It is a working farm but largely invisible from sites
Large pitches for vans. There were a couple of large groups passing through during stay but didn’t have a problem with shower or toilets.

It's a lovely site in a wonderful location, ideal for cycling or walking straight from the site. There is a local bus along the Usk valley so you can easily explore further afield.
The pitches are huge and the site is maintained to a very high standard. The toilet facilities are quite small for such a large site but they are kept clean and well looked after.
The pubs in the village are all very friendly and The White Hart does nice food.

What a super friendly site!
I can only repeat the other reviews that the pitches are huge, Lydia and her friendly team keep everything spotless and tidy and are always there to help out!
The village is 5 minutes walk away, 3 pubs - we ate at the White Hart and the Star - both good food but the Star is cosier and has more atmosphere.
The village shop has all the basics and does a super breakfast deal for £3!
Loads of walks - along the canal, up Pen y Fan and others, Talybont orchard trail to name a few.
We came for 2 nights and stayed 6!

There have been many previous reports on this site, but having just returned from Talybont Farm having enjoyed 5 days of excellent camping weather, I thought I would add our recent experiences.
I have, on a few previous years attempted to book this site for a long weekend to be told it was fully booked, an indication of its popularity. This year I was determined to visit so booked in February for June, Mon-Fri. That worked!
Upon arrival we were advised of our pre-allocated pitch in the Tent Field. This was a very well maintained, near level, pitch with recently cut short grass, so not cuttings in the tent! This grass even had mowing stripes on it. The ground was firm but not stony. The pegs needed a few blows from our rarely used mallet.
We I didn’t experience any wait for the “facilities” which were clean and well maintained.
Several groups of youths were staying in their separate fields. It is good to see them experiencing the outdoor adventure life. It has to be said that from what I saw they were well behaved, although I understand the “Ladies” was a bit of a “war zone” on occasions.
The canal opposite the campsite offered interesting easy walks and leads to two nearby pubs that are in the village. It was very pleasant to sit by the canal after a busy day with drinks exchanging pleasantries with the passing boats. That said, everyone at the campsite too seemed friendly and conversations easy.
Nearby Brecon is an interesting town with many independent shops and cafes. It even has Banks! It is a credit to what a town centre can be like as it still co-exists with several larger supermarket chains.
We climbed Pen y Fan and Corn Du and enjoyed the spectacular views from the top of these at about 3000 ft.
To get to the Tent Field you need to go through the larger main field which is equipped with EHU’s. The pitches seem well spaced and have open views. The disadvantage in being in the Tent Field, is that it is a three and a half minute “trudge” to the “facilities”. This needs to be borne in mind if the weather is inclement or the call urgent.
This is a very peaceful place with no road noise, but is a working farm so there are occasional noises.
Overall though from our experience I don’t think camping can get better than our stay at Talybont Farm.
We will return….

What a fantastic site! The pitches are huge and the site is very flat. The location is superb. With fantastic walking and cycling opportunities. You can walk/cycle along the canal to the quaint town of Brecon, where there is a superb Ghurka restaurant, along with the usual, array of supermarkets.
You can walk on to the Brecons or to Talybont reservoir from the site and I am sure there are a multitude of places you can reach without ever having to use your vehicle.
There is a basic pitch fee and then you pay for anything over and above that, so it is extra for children, dogs, day visitors etc.
There are 2 male and 2 female showers and toilets, as well as a unisex one at the farm house, All showers are free.
The owner keeps a fairly high but unobtrusive profile on the site and this is reassuring.
Even though the site was full, it is very clean, quiet and laid back, attracting families, pensioners. DoE participants and groups of friends. Yet not once was there any disruption or thoughtless behaviour, everyone was incredibly friendly.
There were a lot of dogs on site, but all were under control and there was no dog mess. There is however no dedicated dog walking area, within the site.
I would 100% visit this site again.

A great site in a great location. Pitches are level and spacious and the toilets and showers clean and tidy. Fabulous views of the beacons.
Great location for walking/cycling the canal tow path and Taff trails as well as the brecon beacons.

Booking was easy on email and they responded quickly and answered all my questions. We paid £11 per person and £2 for the dog.
The facilities are spotless and showers are free, although they are the push button type and you cannot adjust the temperature.
Walking from the site is amazing and you can reach Pen Y Fan and the other peaks from the site.
We visited the White Hart and this is a smashing pub next to the canal path and is relaxing watching the boats go by.
There is a small store two minutes walk from the site that sells pretty much everything you will need.
I will be back when next walking the Beacons and recommend this site to all.

Great site that is really well run by the lovely Lydia.
4 camping areas. The main field has electric hook-ups. We stayed in the 'bottom field which was perfect - spacious, peaceful and great views of the sunset on the hills.
The site attracts a good mix of walkers, cyclists, folk doing Duke of Edinburgh expeditions and family/friends groups.
Talybont has 3 pubs which are ok but nothing to write home about. It also has the Travellers Rest which is more of a restaurant - excellent food but you'll need to book as they don't accept walk-ins.
Highly recommend.

I stayed here as a base to walk Pen Y Fan, and visit the Four waterfalls at Ystradfellte. My friend booked the site and all was polite and helpful when he spoke with them.
I arrived separately and met the owner who explained where the facilities were and I paid my £11 for the night for just me in my camper van without hookup. The fee included the very lovely hot and clean showers and toilets and use of the washing up area. The showers were a push button type but they worked fine and this is not a problem at all.
The site is very flat and well laid out wit separate fields for tents, caravan / motorhomes and DofE. Plenty of hookups are available if you require it and there are bins and fresh water taps all over the place.
The site has three pubs right on the doorstep and although I did not use them, my friend did and said they were al great and the food in the Star Inn was great.
The site is very well located for the Brecons and the mountains and we drove for 20 minutes to start the walk up Corn Du, Pen Y Fan, Cribyn and Fan y Big, this is a tough walk, but with the right weather is an absolute belter. Lots mor places of interest are all very close.
This site was very peaceful at night and got full 4g service on both Three and EE.
I would most definitely visit again and will be when I next walk the mountains.

We are having three houses built in front of our house and the noise and dust is pretty bad.
We decided spur of the moment to book in at the above site for a few days and have some peace and quiet.
It is a farm site with huge pitches with conveniently placed water taps and EHU points (no hardstandings) and an area for tents (lots of DOE people use it).
Also an overflow field with no EHU.
Lydia the owner is a lovely, hardworking lady who keeps the showers and toilets spotless.
Just outside the site is a pleasant village with a canal running through it. Nice walks in both directions and also to a reservoir one and a half miles away.
Also in the village is a shop/cafe and a couple of pubs serving good food.
The weather was superb and due to the large pitches, surrounding scenery it all makes for a very relaxing place to spend a few days.
All in all a very pleasant site.
