What customers say
Fron Rafel is praised for its peaceful, tranquil atmosphere, immaculately clean grounds, and exceptional facilities, including spacious pitches with EHU and water. Owners Amanda and Kevin are consistently described as friendly, welcoming, and helpful. Guests highlight the well-maintained toilets, showers, and the convenient, well-equipped kitchen. The site is noted for its scenic location, ideal for exploring, and its dog-friendly amenities.

Electric hardstanding and grass pitch
Liked Booked last minute fri-mon in late Aug. camping pitch ( tent ) three adults including an adult with additional needs and three children.
We absolutely love it. The site is beautifully maintained and the owners are lovely. Really helpful and great to chat with. Very welcoming and helpful. Bathrooms are lovely and there is a wet room for families etc to use. We found it very useful. The pitches are mixed hard standing and grass which is great as you can choose what suits you ( if you have a tent ). Plenty of space and there is water and electric on each pitch.
It’s ideally located a short drive from beaches / towns but nicely tucked out of the way. Very peaceful. There’s a pond / dog walking area for all to use, the kids enjoyed exploring it. There is a caravan and a yurt you can book ( and soon to be a shepherds hut). Both look lovely. There is also a kitchen on site with a kettle, microwave and fridge freezer plus cutlery etc for guests to use. It’s perfect for that peaceful get away to use as a base to explore the beautiful area around. Overall it’s lovely and we highly recommend. Thank you for having us ! X

Liked We stayed at the yurt with our 11 year old son and our furry baby. It was an amazing experience and truly exceeded our expectations. The owners have thought of everything possible you may need and provided them. Clean, comfortable, magical and excellent location to explore Cardigan, Aberporth and a bit of a further drive Tenby, still many more places we would like to see around this area of beautiful Wales. Honestly we had a great time and would recommend! 10/10 from us. Thank you Amanda!

Liked It was like being on safari! Everything was luxurious and spacious. So quiet- you don’t realise how much noise pollution we tolerate until you are somewhere like this. I would like to come back in autumn when it gets dark earlier because I bet the stars are amazing.
We didn’t need to bring anything because it was all here plus more.
