Picture of site

  • Family-friendly Ceredigion campsite with spectacular Irish Sea views
  • Penbryn Beach five minutes’ drive; National Wool Museum 20 minutes
  • Dog-friendly site with a secure exercise area; pub 10 minutes’ drive
High above Tresaith, with stunning views across the Irish Sea, is the family-friendly site, Plas Y Wern. This spectacular place is surrounded by seven acres of peaceful farmland on a scenic headland, where every pitch has views of the coast. On clear evenings, the site gets some excellent views of colourful sunsets over the waves – worth quickly returning for after a day at the local seaside. Your four-legged friends are welcome on site, and there’s a secure field for exercising them, plus lots of walkies options on several beaches within a short drive. In fact, there’s a bunch of stuff to do in the locality with or without dogs. Tresaith (10 minutes’ drive) offers up a sandy beach backed by a waterfall cascading down dramatic cliff sides. Kids can enjoy hours of rock pooling when the tide is out, or you can join the Ceredigion Coast Path for a jaunt along the clifftops. Other family days out might include dolphin-spotting cruises from New Quay (20 minutes) or a visit to the medieval cathedral in teeny St Davids (about an hour), the smallest city in Wales. When you return to home base in the evening, there’s the welcome prospect of refreshing in the power shower with bags of hot water. No need to worry about breakfast the following morning either, as you can pre-order ‘full Welsh’ packs of locally produced goodies for the family to fill up on. If you’re not big on self-catering, head for the pub in Tresaith or the eateries in Aberporth (10 minutes) to keep everyone well fed.

Liked The sea view

Disliked Almost impossible to get a large caravan onto the site tight turns and stone walls, had to unhitch caravan and manoeuvre by hand to get off the site, also damaged caravan getting on to site, if you have a large caravan avoid this site..
I would advise pitchup and the site owners to put a warning regarding access prior to booking.

From the manager: We are very disappointed to receive a 1-star review, particularly as no concerns were raised with us at any point during your stay. We always encourage guests to speak with us directly if there are any issues, as this allows us the opportunity to resolve them immediately.

We have invested significantly in improving our facilities, including hardstanding pitches and widening both the access road and yard प्रवेश to ensure safe and easy navigation for all vehicles. For this reason, we are struggling to understand the nature of the issues described, especially as no specific details were brought to our attention at the time.

Our access lane is bordered by trees and hedges, and the only wall on site around the holiday lets has been extensively widened. Without further information, it is difficult for us to identify where any problem may have occurred.

We take all feedback seriously, but we do feel it is important that concerns are raised during a stay so they can be properly addressed. We would welcome the opportunity to discuss this further should you wish to contact us directly.

Kind regards,
Lianne & Steve

Liked Amazing location. Great views over the coast and sea. Touring pitches were nice and flat. Looks to have been recently laid out. Fenced dog exercise area. Wifi.
All clean and well maintained.

Disliked Only one shower / toilet and one washing up sink. Not a problem when I was there but could be a bottleneck when busy.

From the manager: Thank you for your lovely review we’re really pleased you enjoyed the location and the coastal views, as well as the new touring pitches. It’s great to hear you found everything clean, well maintained, and appreciated the dog exercise area and WiFi.

We also appreciate your feedback regarding the shower and washing-up facilities. As you mentioned, it works well at quieter times, but we understand it could become more in demand when the site is busier. This is something we are keeping under review as we continue to invest in and develop the site.

We hope to welcome you back again soon.

Thanks

Disliked One toilet which was in with the only shower.
This proved tricky especially in the morning, it was always in use when I or my husband when to use it and if someone was having a shower the wait was often quite lengthy to just use the toilet.
Personally feel a separate shower toilet or another toilet would be better.

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback — we really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

We completely understand how having a single bathroom that includes both the shower and toilet can be inconvenient, particularly during busy morning times. Your suggestion for a separate toilet or an additional bathroom is a very valid one, and it’s something we carefully considered during planning.

Unfortunately, due to the layout and limited space available, it isn’t possible for us to split the room or add another toilet. That said, we do take your comments seriously and will continue to look for any practical ways to improve comfort and convenience for our guests.

Thank you again for your helpful feedback — it genuinely helps us improve.

Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

Liked Lovely little gem of a campsite, beautifully veiws of sea and very close to three or more of great sandy beaches.
Ideal for dogs and families, as plenty of space, and half hour walking distance to Tresaith beach and pub over the fields by footpath.
The owners of this site have worked hard to make this site and there holiday let’s an enjoyable experience.
Not far from big shops like Tesco B&M Aldi all in Cardigan if you need to stock up for those BBQs

Disliked Did not find site noisy at all, the washing up facilities were good with hot water.
Only one down side was that the toilet was in with the shower which could become a problem if you were caught short.
But saying that most caravan and motor home units have there own toilets
It would not put us off staying here as the position of the site near all great sandy beaches, the sea veiws and the shops out ways this. Wi FI excellent
We would definitely stay again
