  • Family-friendly Ceredigion campsite with spectacular Irish Sea views
  • Penbryn Beach five minutes’ drive; National Wool Museum 20 minutes
  • Dog-friendly site with a secure exercise area; pub 10 minutes’ drive
Set high above Tresaith, with stunning views across the Irish Sea, is the family-friendly site of Plas Y Wern. This spectacular spot is surrounded by seven acres of peaceful farmland on a scenic headland, where every pitch has views of the coast – and on clear evenings, colourful sunsets over the waves – worth returning for after a day at the local seaside. Your four-legged friends are welcome on site, and there’s a secure field for exercising them, plus lots of walkies options on several beaches within a short drive. In fact, there’s a bunch of stuff to do locally with or without dogs, including rock pooling on Tresaith beach (10 minutes’ drive) or wildlife cruises from New Quay (20 minutes). When you return to home base in the evening, there’s the welcome prospect of refreshing in the power shower with bags of hot water. No need to worry about breakfast the following morning either, as you can pre-order ‘full Welsh’ packs of locally produced goodies for the family to fill up on. If you’re not big on self-catering, head for the pub in Tresaith or Aberporth eateries (10 minutes) to keep everyone well fed and watered.

From the manager: Thank you for your wonderful review. We're so pleased you enjoyed the stunning sea views, spacious pitches, secure dog exercise field and our wildflower meadow – the orchids are always a favourite with guests at this time of year.

We also appreciate your comments about the hardstanding pitches. We understand that some guests prefer parking on grass, but we've chosen our all-weather setup to ensure guests can enjoy their stay whatever the weather, while helping to protect the ground throughout the season.

It was a pleasure welcoming you to Plas Y Wern Holidays, and we hope to see you again for another West Wales sunset.

Disliked One toilet which was in with the only shower.
This proved tricky especially in the morning, it was always in use when I or my husband when to use it and if someone was having a shower the wait was often quite lengthy to just use the toilet.
Personally feel a separate shower toilet or another toilet would be better.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback — we really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

We completely understand how having a single bathroom that includes both the shower and toilet can be inconvenient, particularly during busy morning times. Your suggestion for a separate toilet or an additional bathroom is a very valid one, and it’s something we carefully considered during planning.

Unfortunately, due to the layout and limited space available, it isn’t possible for us to split the room or add another toilet. That said, we do take your comments seriously and will continue to look for any practical ways to improve comfort and convenience for our guests.

Thank you again for your helpful feedback — it genuinely helps us improve.

Friendly owners, beautiful location with striking sea views.

From the manager: That's fantastic to hear you enjoyed the incredible views, convenient location, and the warm welcome from Lianne and the team! We're also glad our pitches were a good size and that you found the facilities high standard and immaculately clean, with great free WiFi and excellent TV signal.

We appreciate your feedback regarding the sloped pitches and the combined toilet/shower rooms. We understand that wet conditions can make it challenging to get onto chocks on sloped areas, and we'll certainly take this into consideration for future improvements. We also understand your point about the accessibility of the toilet when the shower is in use.

Thank you for your valuable review – we hope to welcome you back again soon!

Local attractions

Tresaith (10 minutes’ drive) offers up a sandy beach backed by a waterfall cascading down dramatic cliff sides. Kids can enjoy hours of rock pooling when the tide is out, and you can join the Ceredigion Coast Path from there for a jaunt along the clifftops. Other dog-friendly beaches include Penbryn and Aberporth (both also 10 minutes), which have a smattering of cafés and food stands too. Chances are the kids will also enjoy the chance to spot water buffalo at the Welsh Wildlife Centre (25 minutes), and the immersive displays of working hand looms and fabrics at the National Wool Museum (20 minutes). Young fans of steam power will also be enthralled by the vintage steam engines and motorcycles at the fascinating Internal Fire Museum of Power (10 minutes’ walk). Other family days out might include dolphin-spotting cruises from New Quay (20 minutes’ drive), or a visit to the medieval cathedral in teeny St Davids (about an hour), the smallest city in Wales.
