  • Small family farm surrounded by nature in West Wales
  • Two miles from the National Botanic Garden of Wales
  • Farm animals, small duck pond and wildlife area on site
Day at the beach or day in the Brecon Beacons? How about both? Cracking Carmarthenshire site Coedhirion Farm is in a mighty handy location between the two, allowing you to pick freely between coast and countryside (and also castles, theme parks and botanic gardens) on a West Wales whim. This family-friendly place is on a working farm just off the A48 (excellent news for those who fear manoeuvring their van along little lanes) and a leisurely 10-minute stroll from a couple of country pubs in Llanddarog (excellent news forā€¦ well, just about anyone). Thereā€™s also a post office down in the village; not such exciting news perhaps, until you learn that they serve a rather fine brekkie. Carmarthen is around a 10-minute drive away for restaurants, supermarkets and other shops. Peaceful times beckon here: woods and wildflowers are all around, and thereā€™s a dedicated wildlife area on site, with a small duck pond and nature trails for the nippers to follow. Youā€™re also welcome to pet and feed the farmā€™s Limousin cattle and Texel and Coloured Ryeland sheep (pick your animal snacks wisely though, and donā€™t forget to wash your hands afterwards). Kids chomping at the bit for a runaround? Thereā€™s plenty of space for ball games at the grassy play area. Amenities include water taps, electric hookups and a chemical disposal point, plus there's a well-maintained shower and toilet block thatā€™s won plaudits from previous guests (ā€˜cleaned so many times each day we lost countā€™ says one).

Power optional grass and gravel caravan site

Liked: Brilliantly located site to see south/mid wales. Clean, friendly site, big plus that they will except continental touring caravans. Near a very welcoming village with a few pubs and shop. Had a cracking meal in the Mansel Arms, very friendly locals and great pint. We liked it that much we will be going back next year as seasonal.

Power optional grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked: We loved our stay at Coedhirion farm! The toilet and shower facilities were excellent and always clean, plenty of room in their when you're showered 2 young children. They're are loads of animals to see and for the children to engage with and feed. So peaceful and relaxing, you really feel well looked after as the owners are really welcoming. We will be staying again

Power optional grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked: The toilet block/showers were diligently cleaned a number of times a day. The fridge and washing up facilities were a bonus. We liked the pigs and rabbits next to the camping field. The post office village shop were happy to take things back for us to collect at the farm house. Welcoming staff/ owners. Location for travelling great. Short walk to the village for pub and shop.

Disliked: The site is near to the road and I did need to wear ear plugs to sleep. I also wasnā€™t exactly sure where to camp, although the field was for 3 tents one tent seemed to be in the middle of 2 pitches leaving either one with a slight slope that was quite small or one that was closer to the other tents in between.

From the manager: Thank you for your review. We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay. I did speak to your daughter twice about your proposed pitch as we could have found you an alternative. I asked her to inform you that I could come over and discuss it when you were ready as you were on a work conference call. So I am really sorry that you felt a bit cramped. Our camping areas are quite big and we even had another 5 acre field nearby which could have accommodated you and would have been further from any traffic noise. We hope to welcome you both here again.

Disliked: Muddy track to facilities after rain overnight Pitches VERY close together

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Lynne, Thank you for your review but we were very disappointed with your reasons for assessing our site with 6/10. Last weekend was our busiest weekend of the year so far. You requested a pitch at the last minute. We allocated a space which has been used by caravans and motor homes all summer without any complaints. It was not our best pitch but it was available at the last minute due to a cancellation. As for the puddles on the way in, it had been a very wet day and we are only a small farm site.,We cannot afford the tarmac of larger sites but we continue to improve our entrance as we can afford it. Small businesses like ourselves have struggled with rising prices following Covid and the hike in energy prices. Thank you for staying with us. We look forward to welcoming visitors in the future.

OK site but we've stayed in nicer farms for similar or less money

Power optional grass and gravel caravan site

Liked: Overall the site was ok. Quick walk away from local pubs and shop. Pigs, sheep and ducks dotted around the farm. Shower and toilet facilities were spotless.

Disliked: Check in was a bit of a nightmare. When you arrive at the farm there's a notice board with envelopes pinned to it giving you instructions on where to pitch up. Our envelope had no pitch details and instead asked us to call a mobile number. After calling the number half a dozen times there was no answer, the notice board listed an alternative mobile number which also had no answer and the landline number for the farm was also not being answered. No one at the farmhouse answered the door when i went to knock so had to hang around for about half an hour before the owner returned my call and advised us where to pitch our van which wasn't ideal as we had brought our dogs along for the weekend and they were stuck in the car. The site is pretty small and felt a bit cramped. The toilet facilities were littered with notices over the walls instructing guests to leave the facilities as they found them, flush the toilet, keep noise down which felt a bit excessive and tatty. Didn't see the owner once during the two days we were there.

From the manager: We are sorry that you didnā€™t enjoy your stay with us. I was away and my son was running the business on his own. This is a working farm and our checking in system has never caused problems before. We apologise wholeheartedly.

Liked: Absolutely beautiful place , we booked last minute as we had been visiting friends , the animals here look extremely happy and it's so clean , I have social anxiety but I can honestly say the other campers were really friendly and made me feel at ease , this place isn't rowdy at all and everyone is respectful , by 10pm it's a quiet place with only the sound of farmyard animals and owls , we will definitely be back

Power optional grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked: The friendly staff and other residents was brilliant. The tent pitches were very close to the toilets and showers which made life very easy with young children.

Disliked: If you are looking to feel totally detached then it is worth noting how close this is to the A48. We didn't feel it was a negative, but it's note worthy depending on the experience you are after

Power optional grass and gravel caravan site

Liked: Small site, nearby village pubs. Farm animals to visit. Friendly people. There was a small toilet/shower block. Envelope on notice board with our pitch location for when we arrived. My son loved looking at the cows and sheep.

Disliked: Our pitch didnā€™t feel like a pitch as such, felt like we were in a carpark space. Quite close to next van. Not really anywhere for kids to play (that we could find).

Local attractions

For a bit of local history, take the 10-minute drive into Carmarthen, a riverside town thatā€™s got the remains of a Roman fort and amphitheatre, or to hilltop folly Paxtonā€™s Tower for some fab views. Youā€™re never too far from a castle in Wales of course, and thatā€™s true here ā€“ Dinefwr, Llansteffan and Kidwelly castles are all within a half-hour drive for those thatā€™d like to play at being knights. The siteā€™s also less than two miles from the National Botanic Garden of Wales, a gorgeous site covering several themed gardens, the worldā€™s largest single-span glasshouse and a tropical butterfly house. Kids after a bit more adrenaline? Folly Farm Adventure Park and Zoo is a half-hour drive away. For beach days, itā€™s a half-hour drive to several miles of sand around Pembrey; walks in the Brecon Beacons are about the same distance away.
