  • Peaceful dog-friendly site with views over Cardigan Bay
  • A 35-minute walk from New Quay; footpath to the Wales Coast Path
  • 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

This campground boasts amazing ocean views and a tranquil vibe. Sites are roomy and tidy. Washrooms and showers get top marks for cleanliness. Owners are often noted as friendly and helpful. Coastal path access and closeness to New Quay are big pluses. A narrow access road and shower fees are small downsides.

From the manager: We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay with us.
We are sorry however, that you were disappointed re our charge for showers.
Initially, our showers were free of charge, but unfortunately this meant that they were open to abuse by some guests. For example, bathing dogs, washing wetsuits, washing dishes, washing laundry, showers left running, children causing damage, guests spending up to and over 1 hour in them leading to the inconvenience of other guests. All of the above is just a snapshot of the massively significant problems that we had experienced whilst they were free of charge. It was therefore considered prudent to make a charge of between 20p and £1 depending upon the length of time the shower is iin use (around 60p has been found to be the average). This charge has significantly countered many of the problems that we had previously experienced. We haven’t increased this charge in the three years since its introduction despite the massive rises in water and electricity costs to us.
It is worthy of note to mention here, that guests should be aware of this charge, before a booking is made, as this information is provided within the Pitchup description.
We do also carry plenty of change if required.
Nonetheless, thank you do much for staying with us, we are so happy that you enjoyed your stay-you are welcome back at any time.

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).
