  • 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

Amazing sea views from big, neat sites. Friendly owners, clean ablutions, and a chill vibe get thumbs up. Great for walks; New Quay's close. Minor gripes about shower fees and wind, but most want to come back.

Electric grass pitch (sea view)

Liked Wonderfully sea views and quiet

Disliked Using £1 to shower on top of the pitch price seemed an expensive add on. The bin and recycling area was very full and unsightly on the way through to the toilets and washing areas.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: So pleased that you enjoyed your stay and delighted in the sites tranquility and stunning views. Unfortunately, being a bank holiday, our refuse collection was delayed hence the overspill in the bins. This was also due to some guests dumping their unwanted broken camping items into the bins despite our requests not to do so. We do make a charge for the showers as stated in Pitchup. This is in 20p increments dependent upon how long the shower is used for-up to a maximum limit of 10 minutes. We haven’t raised this charge in 3 years despite the extortionate rise in costs of business electricity and water to us. In view of this we feel this to be a fair and reasonable charge.
Thank you for your review and for staying with us We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay overall.

Liked Views from the sea view pitches were phenomenal. Even full, the site was quiet and large pitches helped with the our own space.

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).
