  • Clifftop site with stunning sea views out towards Cardigan Bay

  • Outdoor heated pool, playground and games lounge
What a beaut. And it's an award-winner too: carve out as much time as you can to stay at Morfa Bychan Holiday Park, on a Ceredigion clifftop overlooking stunning Cardigan Bay. As you'll see from the pics, spectacular sea views are all around here, so you can be basking among these Welsh coast views as soon as you arrive (barbecues are allowed for those who prefer to bask among coastal views while their other half preps the alfresco eats). Beach access is a cinch too, as famed seaside resort of Aberystwyth is within six miles, and the park has direct access to its own pebble beach for shore walks, fishing, boating, rockpooling and surfing. There's loads of room for kids to run around on the park and on the beach; should they inexplicably tire of this, take them along to Morfa's pirate ship play area to swashbuckle and swing. The heated outdoor summer pool and spacious grassy area alongside are other popular family spots, as is the games lounge with board and computer games, TV, pool tables and air hockey. The friendly team are on hand to help with whatever you might need, whether it's assistance in getting set up when you arrive or sharing their tips on the (many) top places to make for in the region. There's a stack of tourist info at the site reception to aid your decision-making further and give you something to read while your other half sorts out the coffee…

Kestrel clifftop fully-serviced hardstanding and grass campervan pitch

Liked: Fantastic location. Amazing ocean views from my pitch. The sunsets over the ocean its absolutely stunning!
Very clean facilities and a well maintained site with lovely staff. Coastal walks in both directions. Had a lovely time there with my dog and will go back for sure.

Disliked: Awful music playing from morning to night from a neighbour, a lovely family and I don't think they realised but it was relentless all day every day. Could do with a few more food options in the shop. The beach is extremely rocky so you can't really walk on it but that didn't ruin anything.

From the manager: Thank you for your review.🌅
We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the stunning ocean views and sunsets from your pitch, as well as the clean facilities and friendly staff. It's great to know you and your dog had a lovely time exploring the coastal walks.

We're sorry to hear about the music disturbance from your neighbor, We were unaware of this,if only you had approached us about it we would have tried to resolve the situation. Because of the limited space available to us the shop is stocked with 'essential' goods,

Disliked: The side of our motor home pitch was like a bomb site
Roads were unfinished
Staff were sirly and unfriendly
Miles from anywhere shop was poorly stocked

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Dear David,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the sea view and swimming pool, but we're truly sorry to hear about the issues you mentioned.

We apologize for the condition of the pitch and the unfinished roads. We are actively working on improvements and upgrades and hope to have these resolved soon.

We explained on the phone following on from your mistake and your wrong day booking, we could only fit you in on one of our pitches we are developing.

As the weather has been so dry since March all of the pitches feel really hard on the ground and is not turf laid on gravel as you mentioned, thus the reason you struggled to get your windbreak/privacy screen into the ground.

The pitch you had origianlly booked was on one of our established motorhome pitches and not on one of our new 'campervan' pitches and unfortunately we have been fully booked on most pitches including the 'unfinished' pitches.

Your comments about the staff and the shop are concerning, this is always a one sided argument but we are aware of our actions.

The shop has been stocked as described in the descriptions of the park on our online pages, unless you have not planned forward before arriving with us you will always have to stock up with big food items, we have enough stocked from salt & pepper to tinned foods and even fresh fruit and veg.

Local attractions

The Wales Coast Path runs through the park and is easily accessible via kissing gates. The path runs for a whopping 870 miles from Chepstow in the south to Queensferry in the north: potter the few miles to Aberystwyth and then – for the energetic – hike further for 10 miles on the linked Ceredigion Coast Path to its finishing point at Ynyslas. Aberystwyth, 15 minutes' drive away, has stacks to do in and out of peak season, including a harbour to wander around, the National Library of Wales and the Aberystwyth Arts Centre for indoor days, and a buzzing nightlife with pubs, gigs and eateries aplenty. The same distance in the other direction will land you at Llanrhystud, a popular spot in summer for beaches, watersports and fishing. Nature spotting and birdwatching are easily accessed in the area too, either under your own steam or via a dolphin and seal safari trip around Cardigan Bay. Ensure your marine mammal sightings – recommended if you possess fractious offspring – with a trip to the Cardigan Bay Marine Wildlife Centre at New Quay; boat trips can be booked from here too.
