  • Peaceful countryside site within easy reach of Ceredigion coast
  • Less than 15 minutes’ walk to Cardigan Bay beaches, Wales Coast Path
  • Shop and playground on site; five-minute walk to bus stop
A warm west Wales welcome awaits at Wern Mill Caravan Park, a family-friendly site in the peaceful hamlet of Gilfachreda five minutes’ drive from New Quay. The site is well placed for adventurers and explorers: the long-distance Wales and Ceredigion coast paths can be joined within about 15 minutes’ stroll of base, and a bus stop five minutes’ walk along the road serves the scenic coastal towns and villages of this part of Wales, taking you all the way to Aberystwyth or Haverfordwest should you wish. Not that going that far will be an immediate priority… Start with a jaunt into New Quay for days spent sampling the wares (and seeing the busy buzzy workers) at New Quay Honey Farm, hours at sea with eyes peeled for dolphins, and fish and chips by the pretty harbour. Or get bucket and spades at the ready and take the 10-minute amble down to Cei Bach beach for days on the sands. When setting foot any further than absolutely necessary just won’t do, settle in on site instead for a stroll by the stream, a bit of family time at the playground, or idle times using the free wifi across the park too. A small shop is on site for essentials, and there is an outdoor eating area too.

What customers say

Grand spot, top-notch showers and loos. Owners are sound and helpful, and it's a doddle to get to the beach and New Quay. Dog wash and bar are a bonus. Mostly brilliant, but a bit of road noise and iffy Wi-Fi now and then.

Derek I.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Lovely quiet site. Well maintained with excellent facilities.
10 minute drive into Newquay which was very nice with some good restaurants and bars.

Disliked TV reception is poor but in fairness, that is mentioned in the site details but it would deter us from staying more than a couple of nights.

Liked Not much

Disliked Not be returning, very cramped, shaded, to ask for £36 with no water on pitch is too expensive. been to far better facilities for less

From the manager: ahhhhh Mr Foster. Thanks for the review! We were definitely expecting this one!

Before we go on to discuss the points you've raised, let us make one thing clear we certainly do not want guests like you staying on our park. Rude, aggressive behaviour right from the get go will not be tolerated!

You were clearly in a 'bad mood' when you arrived as you explained to us that you had just left a very poor site, your vehicle had broken down and that you had to wait a long time for a recovery vehicle.

You arrived the park at 5pm......the sun had moved around by then. If you had arrived at 12pm as you were entitled to you would have enjoyed lovely sunshine. The following day we witnessed yourself and your wife sunbathing on your sun lounges, therefore indicating that you indeed had a sunny pitch.

As for the 'cramped' pitches......that is your opinion, however this is in contrast to the 9.7/10 average score that we have received from 335 reviews and we do not feel the need to act on this.

We are very proud and humbled by the 9.8/10 average score from Pitchup and do not take this for granted (AT ALL) but we do feel that cases like this need to be addressed accordingly.

Liked A little peaceful haven so close to a beautiful sandy beach. A small site but with lovely amenities, not known a shower unit that large on a site before! Great little shop for the necessities like wine, ice cream and bacon! Even had doggy ice cream for the pups. A small pub on site, but only open when demand allows so we missed this. The hosts are 100% perfect and help in every way possible - they did everything to make our stay wonderful. A 15 minute walk down the lanes and through some woodland gives you the most luscious sandy dog-friendly beach. Even when tide was in we could discover the opposite side, making the most precious memories. The dogs absolutely loved it! Really good free wi fi on site too. Hosts even offer a shuttle to New Quay down the road for a tiny £1 donation and offer TV dongles to help you get signal!

Local attractions

Did someone say beach? It’s likely they did, as there are two gorgeous little numbers a short stroll away – take your pick from Cei Bach (10 minutes’ walk) or Traeth Gwyn (15 minutes). Linking the two (and the whole of the rest of the Welsh coastline) is the Wales Coast Path, where you can walk for miles and miles (and miles and miles) with the sea in sight. If the waves are beckoning you closer, cart your surfboard off to the beaches at Aberarth or south of New Quay or head to the watersports centre in New Quay for kit hire and lessons in paddleboarding, kayaking, windsurfing and the like. Head to the harbour here or in Cardigan (half an hour’s drive) for boat trips and, hopefully, glimpses of dolphins. There are plenty of options back on dry land, too: take a walk around the 18th-century mansion at Llanerchaeron (20 minutes), putter along the Teifi Valley Railway (25 minutes) or see the cosy exhibits at the National Wool Museum (25 minutes). If your Wales stay isn’t complete without a castle or two, trips to the towers of Cilgerran or Cardigan (both half an hour) must be on the cards…
