Liked: This is a beautiful spot. The scenery was lovely. Everyone was polite and helpful. It's far out of the way, which I love. Quiet and peaceful.
Best bit was meeting Freddie, River and Brook, the resident dogs.

Liked: Very nice area with some really lovely views. So many different animals everywhere and the owners had some adorable friendly dogs. Owner was really nice and helpful gave us a list of things to do and even a foraging lesson. The whole experience was really easy and so peaceful.
Disliked: The shower is uncovered and cold so not ideal when weathers horrible but better than nothing.

Liked: Great location, beautiful views all round of the Brecons. A charming little campsite, absolutely amazing value for money, cooking facilities, toilets and a shower, although the shower is cold bit still OK for a quick wash. Charging station for phones etc.. very welcoming on arrival and also they were happy to swap out our defrosted ice packs for frozen ones to keep our food cold. The kids had lots of space to run around in, and the owners dog's are friendly and kept my children entertained. All in all a lovely small campsite. One I will most certainly return to.
Disliked: Nothing to dislike. Maybe a clearer sign at the entrance.

Liked: Lovely, peaceful and quiet setting. All facilities were exactly as described. The bonus is the small outdoor kitchen which is free of charge to use.
The hosts were friendly, chatty, helpful and hospitable.
Disliked: I selected this campsite because it is advertised as dog free. Unfortunately the owners have 4 large dogs that roam regularly scavenging for food. They were generally unattended and a bit of a nuisance. There were dog faeces around the kitchen area.

Liked: Beautiful location and incredibly friendly hosts.
We sang songs into the night around a fire and toasted marshmellows with each other, other families and the host and her children. It was perfect. The wifi was impeccable and extended right up to the field. The hosts offered to show us the horses, guinea pigs and the chickens if we liked. I stayed with my twin brother, who is autistic, and we found the noise levels lovely and quiet for most of the time. However, one night there was some bass music that we could hear from the guest cottage, which was a little annoying, but no noise from the campsite itself.
The campsite had a lovely community feel, with a wonderfully clean kitchen, with everything you could possibly need. The cold shower was something to be braved, but was refreshing none the less.
Thank you for a lovely stay.
