Testimonials

We are a small rural site, and feel blessed with our surroundings. Back to basics, yes, but out of the rat-race of life. That is what our regular visitors like and we are pleased to share some of their comments about our campsite with you.

‘If you like your camping basic then this site is for you. A lovely site at the foot of the Black Mountains / Brecon Beacons fantastic view across the valley. Turn right out of the site and drive a mile to the end of the road and you can walk straight into the Beacons.’

‘Great campsite in a fantastic location at base of Twmpa. As others have said facilities are basic but sufficient and certainly clean and tidy. Beautiful views out over Wye valley and a very peaceful atmosphere - very quiet when were there. Bit remote - but that's a good thing!’

‘We have been visiting this site for many years, mostly during Hay Festival week, and we love it. It is everything we want in a camp site; tranquil and with the most beautiful views and the owners don't come any better.’

Extracts from Practical Motorhome September 2009

‘After breakfast we waved goodbye to the horses and took the A479 to Velindre (sometimes spelt Felindre). We planned to use the Newcourt Farm campsite as a base for exploring Hay and its famous festival. Once booked in, we took the ‘van on the beautiful back roads into the ‘Town of Books’.’
… ‘It was quite the most engaging town we had come across during our short tour of the area.’
...‘Newcourt Farm – “it’s on the side of a mountain, Daddy”...’
... ‘We sat facing one of the most beautiful sunsets I’ve ever seen and, from their bed above the cab, the girls forgot bedtime reading in favour of the simple pastime of sunset watching.’...
‘Newcourt Farm was by far and away our favourite campsite of the three: the perfect combination of scenery and service.’

Extracts from Cool Camping : Wales (2nd edition) 2010

The beauty to be found about the Brecon Beacons is no secret and every year many thousands of tourists come to walk the hills, breathe the air and take in the exceptional views. Principal stopping-off point is the town of Brecon (Aberhonddu), from where there’s easy access to the most popular routes. Hay-on-Wye (Y Gelli), to the northeast, serves a smaller number of visitors and, again, has well signposted thoroughfares to the hills and a steady stream of walkers.

Between these two bustling centres is Newcourt Farm Campsite the launch pad for an altogether different experience of the Brecon Beacons. A defiantly non-touristy site in a lesser-visited slice of these hills...

...Not only does the view from almost every pitch encompass a rich Black Mountains landscape, but when you do set off to explore, you’re likely to have the hills to yourself...

...The campsite, a hedged field with the thinnest scattering of pear and apple trees, is within the vast 520 square miles of the Brecon Beacons National Park, so as you might expect, development has been kept to a minimum. However, there is a shower block, with disabled facilities, but this is hidden behind a hedge to reduce its visual impact... ...Reception is at the cottage over the road. If there’s no reply at first, just pitch up and try again later...

...It might be a good idea to take a book or two with you to Newcourt campsite given the lack of any local evening entertainment, but therein lies the attraction of this place... ….Newcourt Farm is in outstanding countryside site with rewarding walking.

The upside:
Just a 20-minute walk to the foot of the Black Mountains region of the Brecon Beacons, where fabulous walking is to be had.

The downside:
Forgetting something essential.

Why not experience the peace and beautiful views that can be seen on the campsite and surrounding area by booking now.
