  • Peaceful countryside site within easy reach of Ceredigion coast
  • Less than 15 minutes’ walk to Cardigan Bay beaches, Wales Coast Path
  • Shop and playground on site; five-minute walk to bus stop
A warm west Wales welcome awaits at Wern Mill Caravan Park, a family-friendly site in the peaceful hamlet of Gilfachreda five minutes’ drive from New Quay. The site is well placed for adventurers and explorers: the long-distance Wales and Ceredigion coast paths can be joined within about 15 minutes’ stroll of base, and a bus stop five minutes’ walk along the road serves the scenic coastal towns and villages of this part of Wales, taking you all the way to Aberystwyth or Haverfordwest should you wish. Not that going that far will be an immediate priority… Start with a jaunt into New Quay for days spent sampling the wares (and seeing the busy buzzy workers) at New Quay Honey Farm, hours at sea with eyes peeled for dolphins, and fish and chips by the pretty harbour. Or get bucket and spades at the ready and take the 10-minute amble down to Cei Bach beach for days on the sands. When setting foot any further than absolutely necessary just won’t do, settle in on site instead for a stroll by the stream, a bit of family time at the playground, or idle times using the free wifi across the park too. A small shop is on site for essentials, and there is an outdoor eating area too.

What customers say

A highly recommended site with immaculate, modern facilities including showers and toilets. Guests consistently praise the friendly, helpful owners and the excellent location, just a short walk from the beach and New Quay. Additional amenities like a dog wash and an on-site bar are popular. While most reviews are overwhelmingly positive, a few mention minor issues such as occasional road noise or Wi-Fi inconsistency.

Jane B.

VIP electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked First time visiting Wern Mill and spent 5 nights there in late August.
Even before we arrived we had a very positive customer service experience after sending a question via their online contact form with a follow up phone call completely answering our concerns.

The site itself is tucked off the road via a short couple of hundred metres of tight road but it is very quiet and shouldn't put anyone off.
Very easy to enter the site and the pre arrival instructions are very clear and allow you to roll straight up to your pitch.

The pitches are well laid out and well maintained with gravel hard standing and an adjacent grass area.
We stayed on a VIP pitch with EHU and water service along with a cute bench and decorative street lamp which is great for siting out in the evening.
The sites facilities are fantastic and very clean and well maintained.
All usual caravan and motorhome waste service points that are easy to use and the toilet/shower facilities are also very modern and clean.
Our dog even made use of the very good dog wash & dry hut which is a nice touch.
There are very pleasant walking routes immediately from the site to the beaches through lovely woodland on the road and the local towns are easy to get to by bus with the stops a short walk from the site. Just plan your times before hand as the bus frequency is only in 2 hr blocks.

Very quiet at night on the site, those who are concerned about the road noise from other reviews needn't worry, it isn't a heavy main road and yes you can hear vehicles but didn't at any point distract or annoy us.

The staff at the site are extremely friendly and helpful and always there to assist or help you.

The exit from the site is via their requested one way route around some very tight roads back to the bigger roads, we were concerned about this before we arrived and spoke with them and they assured us this would be ok and if we weren't confident to use that route as they have facility and local agreement to chaperone us out of the site back along the short entrance route and marshal us back onto the road.
As promised they did that after a quick request in the morning someone kindly jumped on their quad bike and took us out even though it was raining!
Was absolutely no problem doing this and topped off a lovely stay.

Very nice site, great staff and beautiful location and would recommend it to anyone and would also go back again.

Disliked Wifi could be a bit sketchy but during our stay there may have been a service provider issue out of the sites control.

Local attractions

Did someone say beach? It’s likely they did, as there are two gorgeous little numbers a short stroll away – take your pick from Cei Bach (10 minutes’ walk) or Traeth Gwyn (15 minutes). Linking the two (and the whole of the rest of the Welsh coastline) is the Wales Coast Path, where you can walk for miles and miles (and miles and miles) with the sea in sight. If the waves are beckoning you closer, cart your surfboard off to the beaches at Aberarth or south of New Quay or head to the watersports centre in New Quay for kit hire and lessons in paddleboarding, kayaking, windsurfing and the like. Head to the harbour here or in Cardigan (half an hour’s drive) for boat trips and, hopefully, glimpses of dolphins. There are plenty of options back on dry land, too: take a walk around the 18th-century mansion at Llanerchaeron (20 minutes), putter along the Teifi Valley Railway (25 minutes) or see the cosy exhibits at the National Wool Museum (25 minutes). If your Wales stay isn’t complete without a castle or two, trips to the towers of Cilgerran or Cardigan (both half an hour) must be on the cards…
