Ever dreamed of living on a farm? You can come close, with a visit to this pretty site: the pitches at Cardigan Caravan & Camping Site are only 100 metres away from a working farmyard, and you’ll be greeted by the resident ducks, sheep, hens, Welsh cobs and Arab horses - as well as some rather stately-looking white peacocks.
Surrounded by mature hedgerows and imposing oak trees, the roomy, well-equipped site at Aelybryn Farm also enjoys top notch views (and spectacular sunsets) over Cardigan Bay and the Preseli mountains.
Nearby attractions and activities
The ancient market town of Cardigan is only half a mile from the park (the bus in stops right outside the entrance) and offers good shopping, drinking and eating, as well as a cinema and theatre. It’s a place with a fascinating history, too: check out Cardigan Castle, St Dogmaels Abbey, and the beautiful Guildhall building, which now houses the town’s market.
Beach lovers, rejoice: a 10-minute drive will take you to the sands of Mwnt and Aberport, and a few minutes further away you’ll find masses more of the golden stuff at Poppit, Tresaith, Newport and Penbryn (all these can also be reached by bus, but obviously it takes a bit longer).
In addition to the thousands of rare sea birds to be found on this stretch of coast, animal fans can spot Atlantic grey seals and bottle-nosed dolphins in Cardigan Bay, visit the Cardigan Island Coastal Farm Park, or flit amongst the butterflies at the Felinwynt Rainforest Centre. The equinely inclined will enjoy horsing around at Cardigan's Barley Saturday (end of April), the Agricultural Show (July), and nearby Aberaeron’s Festival of Welsh Ponies and Cobs (August). Autumn visitors can see the dramatic spectacle of salmon and sea trout leaping up the cascading waterfalls at Cenarth Falls.
Athletic types will find a good range of golf courses, horse riding, river and sea fishing on hand, as well as kayaking and canoeing in the picturesque Cilgerran Gorge. For adventure seekers, this area is renowned for coasteering (high impact climbing, scrambling, canyoning, swimming, jumping and diving along the rocky coastline). Alternatively, the Ceredigion coastal path offers a more relaxed meander past tranquil coves and breathtaking beaches, plus further wildlife and birdwatching opportunities.
Families will also enjoy the Oakwood Theme Park and the Folly Farm adventure park and zoo.

Nice small site run by nice owners, in good location, shame about the weather karen s. (Family with young children, 1 review, 0 photos) Confirmed ?
Liked: Location was excellent, with a tesco a short drive away. (Which has a cafe if you don't want to cook) Site on main A487 which was handy getting to all other places along Cardigan Bay. Disliked: Could do with more washing up sinks and maybe light and shelter, but with only 1 washing up sink you could always see if it was in use. |

A pleasant simple site when not too busy. Philip B. (Family with older children, 1 review, 0 photos) Confirmed ?
Liked: The toilet/shower block was cleaned regularly and was of a very high standard. The owner was very friendly and welcoming. Disliked: The dish washing area was a rather old sink unit with no roof cover. As it rained all week we got wet quite a lot. We left as the bank holiday weekend began and the site was very busy. Our neighbouring campers were sited within feet of our van so we had no privacy whatsoever and loud music was playing until gone midnight. This spoiled the last day of our stay. The hardstanding was not ... |

Liked: The friendly people, the ponies happy to stand and be stroked by lots of children. They don't cram tents in so plenty of room for the children to play. Shower and toilet block always clean. People had commented in reviews that the nearby traffic was loud but it wasn't that bad and we live in the middle of nowhere so aren't used to traffic at night. It didn't keep us awake. Disliked: It had been a wet week before so ground waterlogged but couldn't be helped. |

Really nice site Robert K. (Family with older children, 1 review, 0 photos) Confirmed ?
Liked: Very friendly owner although she didn't seem to know about our booking and how much we owed her! This wasn't a problem as she is very easy-going. Toilet block was really clean and there was never a queue. Great location, near tesco's which was very handy when you run out of supplies. Disliked: Hot water tended to run low after the 'rush hour' in the morning. |

Liked: We liked the fact that the site was ideal for families with young children.Not to large or to small, just right to keep an eye on your kids. Disliked: Our main dislike was the nearness of the site to a busy main road which at night became extremely noisy with lorry's, motorbikes etc. |

Good position for walkers. Susan T. (Family with older children, 1 review, 0 photos) Confirmed ?
Liked: The lady at the farm was very pleasant and polite.The pitch was well cared for,decent toilets and showers.It is in an ideal place for people who like to explore different places,for walkers,and families who like to stay on site. Disliked: The shortage of local transport and the walking distance to town which is approximately 3 miles plus.
From the manager...
There are buses that travel north and south from the site entrance every hour, taxies are readily available. Cardigan town centre is less than a mile away. |

Great site with friendly owner Karen C. (Mature couple, 1 review, 0 photos) Confirmed ?
Liked: Laid back atmosphere, friendly owners, spacious site, new clean toilet block, clear pricing on your web-site and clear information on their website. Main road postion made getting into and out of the site easy. Being able to get an instant answer on availablity rather than having to phone meant that I booked this site rather than wrestle with phones to book a Caravan Club site. Disliked: Entrance sign too small - couldn't find the site initially. No postcode quoted. Directions for finding the site could have been clearer. Weather could have been better - but thats not your fault. |

Excellent site to choose for our first camping holiday voyager6 (Family with young children, 1 review, 0 photos)
Liked: This was the first time that we have had a camping holiday and we chose an excellent site for our first experience. Although it was close to a main road you weren't really aware of the traffic noise. The owners were very friendly and nothing seemed to be too much trouble. The shower block was very well appointed and I liked the fact that they provided soap, paper towels etc. There was a lovely ... Disliked: It was difficult to find as the sign doesn't say Cardigan Caravan and Camping Site but I understand from the owner that she is changing that. |

excellent emmaswailes (Family with young children, 1 review, 0 photos)
Liked: The location is great but it is a mile walk into town, which was the only downsde, though a taxi there or back is not much money. The place was very relaxing with horses and sheep to stroke for the kids. And there were lots of familys there and other children, who all made friends very quickly. The best thing about the site was no matter where the kids went in the field you could ... Disliked: just the walk into town and that we pitched right next to a bee's nest in the hedge but they were so busy flying in and out that they didn't bother us or even try to sting us! i have a phobea of bee's and wasps but they were fine! |

I have a record of who's coming in and out and how much they owe, but when I'm on site cleaning the toilets I don't have the information with me.
Hopefully we'll have another sink by next summer!
