Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: Rural campsite with everything you need at your disposal. Family wanted to stay for longer than we booked. 2 year old had an amazing time looking at the animals and has fallen in love with Tilly (the hand reared sheep) owners are really friendly with a good sense of humour. Wonderful family memories made and would definitely stay again. Thank you.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you so much for your comments and that means a lot to us. We try very hard to please everyone and provide a taste of farm life. It was a pleasure to have met you and so pleased that the family enjoyed their experience. We are looking forward to seeing you again in the near future. Thank you.

A wild experience.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: Such a wonderful wild campsite! We had a fabulous stay, meeting Mark on arrival, being greeted by a rather rambunctious cockerel! Mark was incredibly welcoming, explained how the site worked, we pitched our tent and awaited Storm Lillian. This is a back to basics campsite, very definitely wild camping, exactly what we were looking for. Very quiet, and the children loved meeting and talking to all the animals. We loved our stay there (despite the delightful weather) and will definitely be making another trip. Thank you. 😊

Disliked: The composting toilet was not the best toilet we’ve ever used, although the view from the door was great.

Very basic for the amount you pay.

Primitive grass RV campsite

Liked: The peace and quiet.

Disliked: Rundown she'd with a bucket for a toilet,not clean at all. Shower in the main house which is quite a walk along the main road and at £1.50 for 5 mins is very steap and a Cockerel that attacks you on the way out.No running water,cleaning facilities.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Really sorry that this type of stay was not for you. However I would suggest that for future reference please read the camp site description carefully before booking. We do not advertise the fact that we provide cleaning facilities or running water. We do however provide guests with free bottled water. As for animals running free - we are a working farm which is part of the attraction and make guest aware of that. Feedback is however important to us so thank you for that.

Liked: A good wild camping experience, the views are amazing and you’re close to farm animals. Even with the ground being wet the owner was good in helping us choose the best spot to pitch up

Disliked: Have to pay for use of the shower

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Really lovely to have met you both. Glad that you have enjoyed your stay. We do unfortunately need to charge for showers, as most do, as we have limited supply on a well. We do look forward to seeing you again soon. MarkB

Liked: - Area and view - Farm-feel - Isolation - Wild-camping feel - Friendly and welcoming owner - Free bottles of drinking water

Disliked: - Compost toilet was too far from the pitch behind another gate. This would be very challenging at night. - Need cash for shower (no mirror in shower so difficult to shave)

Local attractions

Ffynonnwen Farm is within easy reach of the Llŷn Peninsula and Ceredigion seaside as well as the watersports at Aberystwyth half an hour’s drive away. In fact, a whole of host of beaches can be visited in this part of Wales, including busier New Quay and the slightly quieter Tan Y Bwlch, both about half an hour’s drive away. Borth beach takes 50 minutes to reach, and it's 40 minutes to Cardigan Bay Marine Wildlife Centre – where you might spot some of the dolphins who regularly make an appearance on these shores… For a cultural detour inland, head to the National Trust’s 18th-century estate of Llanerchaeron with its walled garden and ornamental lake (25-minute drive) then make your way towards the riverside woodlands encircling the manor house (or shop for local farm produce at the on-site store). Go north towards the dunes of Ynyslas (55 minutes up the coast) for a change of scenery and swing by the colourful cottages and pleasure pier of Aberystwyth as a scenic stopoff point along the way.
