    Have you read the reviews and looked at the Site Details Leaflet, available as a PDF file on the right hand side of the site page, that usually give details of mobile signal coverage?

    Standard club site facilities and layout but it is very close to 2 main roads and as a consequence extremely noisy.

    We spent a week at Brecon at the back end of June. Loved it. It is liked by dog owners and families. Don't recall any road noise. My Vodaphone mobile worked fine.

    Very good standard of site, clean and tidy, good shop, You have to cross the dual carriageway twice to get on the canal towpath which is the easiest way to walk into Brecon. The town itself is not particularly attractive although the cathedral is interesting and the wharf has been improved. The area is stunningly beautiful.

    It's a large, busy site so not one for those looking for a quiet retreat.

    Only downside for us was trying to find the way out!

    We had a good break there but out of the main season. I thought it was one of the more child friendly sites with a big playing field and a riverside play area. At the time of our visit it was much quieter near the playing field end. The roadside end traffic was very noisy, this is also  the exit for the footpath and canal walks, not the easiest exit to negotiate across the roads but some lovely walks and bike rides. Nice pub walk too across the small river adjoining the site.

    Excellent site. Look at the reviews .Plenty to do.Bus stop immediately adjacent. It can be noisy in the bottom right hand corner with road noise, otherwise no worse than many more. We use it regularly  if that is a recommendation!!
