  • Peaceful dog-friendly site with views over Cardigan Bay
  • A 35-minute walk from New Quay; footpath to the Wales Coast Path
  • Shops and pubs in New Quay; playground and dog exercise area on site
Raring to go dolphin-spotting on the Wales Coast Path or fishing on a boat trip from New Quay? Very well – here’s Tyr Ffynnon Farm, an advantageous base for such coastal adventures. With 180-degree views over Cardigan Bay and a location just 35 minutes’ walk from New Quay, it would have been a shame to keep this quiet 38-acre working sheep farm for sheep only. Now, families and dogs (on leads) are welcome to come and relax at the elevated peninsular spot. There are plenty of walking areas away from the traffic – and just a couple of hundred metres from the entrance, there’s a public footpath where guests can join the Wales Coast Path. Spectacular views and the chance to spot dolphins… yes please. The coastal path passes through lively New Quay, where activities such as boat trips, sailing, fishing and watersports are on the agenda. Also called Cei Newydd, New Quay has a pretty harbour, sandy beaches and a sound selection of shops, pubs and restaurants for all your foodie desires. The pièce de resistance at Tyr Ffynnon Farm surely has to be the sublime sea-view sunsets that can be seen from the site. Other ace features include the modern shower and toilet facilities, which have hot electric showers, wash basins, toilets, electric hand dryers and electric sockets for hairdryers (in the ladies’ only) and a shaver point (in the gents’). Those with mini family members will also be pleased to find a playground and a fenced dog exercise area on site. Bonus points – the peaceful, friendly site is 20 minutes’ drive from Aberaeron, 35 minutes from Cardigan and 45 minutes from Aberystwyth.

Liked: A quiet, well-kept camp. clean toilets, unfortunately paid showers, fortunately decent prices. It's quite far from being connected to electricity, which means you need a fairly long power cable. Friendly service. Unfortunately, the check-in time was quite late and the check-out time was too early. But apart from that, I recommend it.

Would definitely stay again.

Liked: Campsite was very clean and tidy. Perfect site for the children to all play football in the centre. As soon as we pitched up, both our boys had already made friends and were off. Showers were good, liked the fact it was a paid meter, this kept que’s down.

Disliked: Nothing.

Liked: The view! Host was very welcoming. The park was a great extra.

Disliked: We felt that the toilet blocks could have been cleaned more often. They really let the site down. We did two nights and felt they weren’t cleaned throughout our stay although they were good facilities. We didn’t mind paying for the showers either as it meant people were in and out but would have like a squeegee to use afterwards.

From the manager: Thank you for your review. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay with us and appreciated our ablution facilities. Please be assured that these facilities were thoroughly cleaned throughout your stay. As your stay was during a bank holiday period, they would have been in constant use, as a result, inevitably, they will become less than spotless in-between our cleaning visits. We always do our best to maintain a high standard of cleanliness but it is not possible to monitor them continuously. We are so sorry however for any inconvenience.

Clean and well maintained site. Short distance into the town of Newquay.…

Local attractions

Days out in Aberaeron (20 minutes’ drive) – a regency town with a Georgian harbour and multi-coloured houses – could be spent taking yet more coastal walks, tucking into tapas and scallops around the harbour or licking a honey-flavoured ice cream by the sea. Strolls or fishing along the river Teifi might make it onto your itinerary in Cardigan (35 minutes). The town’s castle is on the riverside and has its own escape room. Another historical spot is in St Dogmaels (40 minutes), where there are abbey ruins with medieval roots. Aberystwyth (45 minutes) is much more than a university town. It’s also home to the National Library of Wales, a free museum and heaps of interesting shops. Elsewhere along the coast, Penbryn beach (25 minutes) is accessed through woodlands from the Wales Coast Path. A short detour from here will get you to Tresaith Waterfall (25 minutes).
