  • Spacious farm site by the coast 10 minutes' drive from Aberteifi
  • Easy access to Ceredigion Coast Path; 20 minutes' walk from Mwnt beach
  • Sea views and private cove for spotting dolphins and birds
Care to head to Ceredigion, for coastal walks, crowd-free beaches, castles… maybe even catching a glimpse of a passing pod of dolphins? What a cracking idea. And an even more cracking idea is nabbing a few days at Nant-y-croi, on the coast between Aberteifi and Aberporth. If it's easy access to the coast you’re after, you’re in the right place: the Ceredigion Coast Path crosses the farm, for an easy meander to Mwnt beach, 20 minutes away. Even before you set forth for that stroll there are super sea views to be had from the site; gaze out towards the waves for a while and you may well spot the seals, dolphins and seabirds that often pass by these parts. This is a properly peaceful place, but niftily also within easy reach of plenty of ways to fill your West Wales days: more beaches, boat trips, canoeing, golf are all nearby, and you’re well placed for outings to Cilgerran Castle, Cenarth Falls and lots of other scenic spots. For eats, you’re welcome to light up a sea-view barbecue; pick up supplies 10 minutes away in Aberteifi and stash them in the fridge-freezer until it’s coals o’clock. Other amenities on site include a washing-up area, launderette and toilets and showers.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: Such a lovely, simple but well-equipped, clean and thoughtful site. The weather was horrific, with Storm Pierrick blasting through and the site owners came and checked up on everyone, rescuing and accommodating a couple whose tent was destroyed in the storm - and they also towed us out of the mud and onto hard standing. Shower was warm and civilised and the views and walks, even in the mud, were stunning. The walk across to Mwnt cove (and cafe!) was lovely and the beach was fabulous!

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: The view and access to coastal path. Loved the donkeys!

Disliked: We were on hard standing but there were v few others. Rest was very muddy grass

From the manager: Thank you for your review. Unfortunately we have had an extremely wet spring so far this year so our field and no doubt all campsite fields in this area have suffered the same. Luckily we now have seven hardstandings and a roadway to save campers having to drive on the grass. The ground drains very fast and as soon as the rain stops it will quickly dry out!

Beautiful views and walks…

From the manager: Thank you for your review and we’re happy to hear you enjoyed the surroundings. The WiFi signal does tend to get blocked if you pitch next to caravans or motorhomes but is good all around the facilities. We are having extra antennas installed shortly so everyone should have uninterrupted signal wherever they pitch.

Great facilities on-site and wifi. Owner helped pull us out the mud…

Local attractions

Mwnt’s your nearest beach (and mighty lovely it is too), but it’s far from the only sandy stretch worth a visit locally. Also on your list should be Tresaith (20 minutes’ drive), Aberporth (20 minutes), Poppit Sands (25 minutes) and Llangrannog (half an hour). Should you be seeking a bit of exercise along with your sea views, there’s a golf course 10 minutes’ drive away, or you can head into Aberteifi for all sorts of aquatic activity, including surf lessons, sea kayak tours, serene days of paddleboarding or adrenaline-packed coasteering adventures. If you’ve not managed to spot dolphins from the site, you may have more luck on a boat trip from New Quay (40 minutes). Guaranteed sightings of friendly farm animals are five minutes’ drive away at Cardigan Island Coastal Farm Park; they’re even friendlier if you feed them. Seals can often be seen basking on the shore here, too. Away from the coast, it’ll take you 20 minutes or so to drive to 13th-century Cilgerran Castle, the Welsh Wildlife Centre and the National Coracle Centre at Cenarth Falls.
