  • Dog-friendly site in the west Wales countryside
  • Top spot for biking and walking: Ceredigion Coast Path 15 mins' drive
  • On-site bar open from Thursday to Sunday
A stay in the Welsh countryside, with greenery on every side and views towards hills in the distance, but still close to beaches and seaside towns… sound like a dream holiday spot? Penuwch Inn Caravan and Camping, 15 minutes’ drive from Tregaron in West Wales, may very well be your spot. The area around Penuwch Inn has plenty of walking and cycling routes for anyone who wants to explore the region (ask your friendly hosts Nicky and Julian for tips). Pick up a map before you arrive, then disappear for the day on a mountain bike, making your way along the Ceredigion Coast Path or the banks of Afon Teifi – the second longest river in Wales – or Afon Aeron. If you prefer two legs to two wheels, you can pick up the Ceredigion Coast Path from Llanrhystud, a 15-minute drive from the site. For drinks, there's a bar on site open between Thursday and Sunday. For food, meanwhile, you can pick up some supplies for the barbecue at Tregaron. And then? Relax in the evenings by turning your eyes to the stars, soaking up the dark skies above the site to see some of the wonders of the Milky Way…

Liked 5/5 Stars – Exceptional 8-Night Stay!
​Just back from a fantastic 8-night stay, and we will definitely be back!
​This is a great, well-run site managed by Nicky and Julian, who are truly wonderful hosts.
​Highlights of our stay:
​Facilities: The toilets and showers were kept exceptionally clean, with hot water always available whenever I used them.
​Amenities: Washing-up facilities were practical and very good.
​Location: A great base with convenient links to explore the area—easy to reach Aberystwyth, Aberaeron, New Quay, and many other brilliant surrounding spots.
​Highly recommend to anyone looking to explore the Ceredigion coast. Huge thanks to Nicky and Julian for making our stay so enjoyable!

Power optional grass campsite

Liked This is a little gem of a site .❤️ Not the biggest I've stayed on , but it's definitely on my "will go back too" list. Sometimes biggest isn't always the best after all. Quiet relaxed with lovely views.

Three shower rooms with w/c. Spotlessly clean, great shower. Pot washing facilities and cold water tap. Recycling bins of course .

The pub on the site is a great meeting place serving a great selection of beers ,ciders and spirits, no food available .

The hosts, are really really lovely , chatty, full of useful info re: the area.
I could only stay one night instead of the two I'd booked for, so couldn't say if any shops etc . Are withing walking distance .
Same goes for the general area re: walks etc.

No WiFi connection, but excellent mobile service .

Disliked Nothing to dislike tbh.

Just that for myself .... who hates cooking anyhow 🤣 food would have been welcome , but as I said it's not a deal breaker.

Power optional grass campsite

Liked Again Julian and Nickie were excellent hosts been here 3 times previously and it doesn't disappoint. Made absolutely better by red hot weather and the visit by a fantastic burger bar and a great night in the bar. Can still highly recommend this site as it's so relaxing and welcoming 5* all the way

Power optional cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

Liked Where do we start?! The location, views, peace and tranquility, wildlife (resident chickens and rooster and daily up close visits by quite a few red kites) The facilities are clean and well maintained. The food truck visit on Saturday night was an unexpected treat. The site is a short, picturesque drive to a number of attractions and beaches. The owners are really friendly, welcoming and helpful. The electric hookup is metered on a prepay system but any unused credit is refunded (to the next pound).

We were also treated to a spectacular sky full of stars as there is zero light pollution.

The site doesn't have the bells and whistles of some others that we've visited but this is by no means a down side. It allows you to just slow down from everyday life and recharge.

Disliked A floor squeegee to remove excess water in the bathrooms would be great (they're all wet room style) Maybe some ventilation would be a bonus, especially as the weather was so hot.

Recommend to friends Visit again

Excellent site, would like to visit again if we travel this way.

Local attractions

Aberystwyth, 35 minutes from Penuwch Inn, has heaps to do: take the funicular up to the camera obscura on the peak of Constitution Hill, explore the ruins of the 13th-century Aberystwyth Castle, or feel the tropical heat at the Magic of Life Butterfly House, 20 minutes’ drive outside the town. A 25-minute drive from Aberystwyth, the spectacular and world-famed Devils Bridge Falls should very much be on your must-see list. If you’d prefer to get to the falls under someone else’s steam, climb aboard one of the steam trains on the Vale of Rheidol railway in Aberystwyth. Sit back and watch the scenery go by until you reach Devils Bridge or get out at one of the other stops to follow the walking trails of the Rheidol valley. In the opposite direction along the Ceredigion coast, the town of New Quay is a top spot for dolphin-spotting boat trips, fishing excursions and stunning beaches overlooking Cardigan Bay. Buzz on over to the New Quay Honey Farm while you’re in the area to visit the meadery, witness the bees at their daily grind and get a taste of their hard work in the tearoom. If you can’t get enough of that New Quay honey, take home a beeswax, honey or mead souvenir from the farm shop.
