  • Peaceful dog-friendly site with views over Cardigan Bay

  • 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.

What customers say

Beautiful sea views, quiet spot. Spacious, tidy sites. Toilets & showers spotless. Owners super friendly & helpful. Coastal path access and close to New Quay are big wins. Lane's a bit tight, showers cost a bit.

Liked The views are very, very good. The facilities are kept spotlessly clean. The site staff are very friendly and helpful. The site is approx ten minutes walk from the stunning coastal path and "dolphin-watching cliff-top shelter" and it's walkable into New Quay in roughly 35 minutes.

Disliked The showers are 20p for 2 minutes up to a maximum of £1 for 10 minutes. This is good as it keeps the queues down. The downside is if you only want a really quick (2 minute) shower, the water takes up to 30 seconds to regulate the temperature because they're electric, so 40p minimum is recommended.
There is no shaver point in the gents toilet block, although there is a plug socket next to a large mirror, so don't forget your adaptor if you've got an electric-only shaver.

Powered grass site

Liked We stayed here 5 days/4 nights with our children 8,6 & 2. Excellent location for venturing to the near by beaches.

Beautiful site, quiet & calm. Kids loved the playground, and we loved that we could see the kids in the playground from our pitch (top field), there was also loads of room for them to run around and play ball games without disturbing other campers.

The old toilet facilities on the top field were clean and tidy, and even though there were only 2 showers & 2 toilets in both the men's/women's bathrooms in the newer facilities at the bottom field they were spotless the whole time, showers were perfect, excellent pressure and temperature, these run on a meter £1 = 10mins, prevented any queues too, always managed to get a shower no problem.

Small little shop in reception selling cold drinks, milk, buckets (50p!!!) far cheaper than in the harbour.

Our hookup wasn't long enough, the owners were kind enough to loan us an extension no question.

Also loved the little cats 😍

Disliked Not so much a dislike as didn't bother us, but the beaches are not walking distance if you have young children. We drove down (took 5 mins) but if you do like walking, you can make it in 40 mins or so.

A little pricey per night compared to other sites with more facilities.

Disliked Only downside was that there were no rules about shutting down time at night, most campsites have a ruling, but to my knowledge there wasn’t anything.

Liked The location was fantastic, beautiful views, a lovely walk along the coastal path (we even spotted dolphins) and easy access to dog friendly beaches.
The shower and toilet was spotless and the owners were so lovely and helpful.
We were lucky enough to book for watching the solar eclipse and then the meteor shower. We loved star gazing at night.
It was peaceful, a great place for the kids, adults and our dog. Not too big, not too small. The best camp site that we have visited.

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).
