- Private dog-friendly glamping site two miles from the Ceredigion coast
- Llangrannog and Penbryn beaches 10 minutes' drive; Cardigan 20 minutes
- Vintage circus caravan with a woodburner, kingsize bed and bathroom
It's fair to say that Ffynnon Fendigaid is nothing short of fab: this glamping site in the Ceredigion countryside is in a peaceful, private corner of a smallholding, a couple of miles from the coast and a 20-minute drive from the towns of Llandysul and New Quay.
There’s heaps to do in the surrounding area as well, whether you choose to get active with walks on the coast path or inland mountains, canoe outings and coasteering or dial it down a notch with wildlife-spotting boat trips, castle wanders, beach days and vintage railway rides. With golf courses and horse riding nearby too, this area's a hub for active types.
Your base for all these antics will be the comfy and cosy Dolly, a circus wagon that once housed travelling entertainers. Now that she’s been retired and restored, she lives out her days next to a decked area suited to outdoor dining and relaxing, with access to a small wooded area too.
Inside, Dolly’s been done up to a high standard: her interior houses a kingsize bed, a fully-equipped kitchen, a dining table, sofa and a woodburning stove for those chilly evenings, plus lots of circus-themed furnishings. Alongside Dolly is a separate shepherd's hut with a private luxury bathroom including a shower and a separate dressing area.

Local attractions
Stunning West Wales beaches are only a short drive away from Ffynnon Fendigaid. And if you'd rather leave the car behind, the Llangrannog and Penbryn beaches are a few miles away on foot, too.
Inland, the Teifi Valley Railway (15 minutes) takes visitors through the country’s lush green scenery, and you may like to stop at Cenarth Falls (20 minutes) to witness the spectacular sight of salmon spawning upstream in autumn.
It would be mad to miss out on seeing some of Europe’s best castles on your roams around Wales, so get over to Cilgerran (20 minutes) for the ruins of an atmospheric 13th-century structure overlooking the Teifi Gorge.
Sticking with the Welsh theme, the National Wool Museum (20 minutes) is an ode to the craft of using yarn (hurrah – entry’s free).
For food, there's a shop and pub in Brynhoffnant (a few minutes) serving stone-baked pizzas and a Sunday carvery.
