Date of Visit: May 2011 Unit:  Motorhome
Reviewer: Beattie08 24 reviews from this member

 Two nights here on tour of pembrokeshire.

Right by sea front, spacious pitches with your own bin!

Friendly/helpful owners/wardens.

Toilet block does the job, clean, plenty of hot water no heating.

Good views all round. Short walk into town with plenty of pubs and eating places.

Visited NT Llanerchaeron, worth a visit 10 mins drive, can be walked by old railway track?

Aberaeron really pretty town, colourful houses, laid back atmosphere.

Superb coast walk into New Quay, another great little town. Lots of pubs, places to eat. Terrific views, saw a dolphin fin in the beautiful harbour. Bus back to Aberaeron

Would return if in area, enjoyed our stay

Reviewer: Ukcampers73 1 review from this member

 What a lovely campsite!

Not sure were to start on how good this site is.

We stayed for a weekend with our three dogs. The owner was very friendly (always a bonus).

The site is virtually on the beach (pebbled) with a gate at the end of the site where you can walk onto the beach and a 4 minute walk into the lovely town of Aberaeron with it's great pubs, quay and friendly people.

The site has spotless toilets and showers and they even had bins near every tent emptied daily, an impressive touch.

This site is ideal for dog owners and families alike due to it's location.

Each pitch is clearly marked and has lots of space in between tents and you can pre book.

We will definitely by back.

Reviewer: Smogian 15 reviews from this member

 Excellent site with excellent facilities. Toilets were always spotless. A good touch was that between every second pitch there is a bin so no long walks to get rid of rubbish.

Short walk into the town which was spotlessly clean and looked really nice with all the houses painted different colours.

What was nice for us that everywhere seemed to be dog friendly.

Reviewer: Busterpot33 42 reviews from this member

 Lovely position right next to front, although shingle beach. Toilets are basic but very clean. As mentioned just short walk into the town from the site. Our time here was ruined by another motorhomer close to us, whose dog constantly yapped throughout the day and part of the night. As they were obviously regulars and knew the owners who observed the dog yapping, we felt it would not be wise to complain, also we have a dog who gets excited and barks sometimes. Thankfully not continually. So apart from that we did enjoy our break here 


Date of Visit: September 2010 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Ray griffiths 2 reviews from this member

 There is a steep decent from the road down to the farm, but it is manageable.1st gear to get out with caravan on behind.(wide entrance)

No hard standings on site.Fully grass area, some of it long, wellie's needed to walk to toilet when wet.

Toilets are clean and tidy, did not find any pot washing facilities, all facilities at one end of a big field.The end of the field ends at a earth bank which is the costal path. 10 mins walk into town.9 pubs, went in most of them.The town has got all the needs of the tourer. A very good local 'icecream' made with honey.To die for.

Not many rule's, dog friendly. Friendly staff

Reviewer: Thierry 5 reviews from this member

 Very friendly and helpful.

We were at the far end of the field but the nearest of the sea just behind the dike which protect us from the wind.

Large pitches, plenty of place and really quiet just the sound of waves.

Toilets and showers were clean and hot water.

About 5 min. Walk to the quay where we ate at the restaurant of The Harbourmaster. Good food, friendly but a bit expensive.

Aberaeron is a beautyfull, quiet, friendly little town with plenty of coloured houses, the sea, boats,. Nice place to stay. 


Date of Visit: August 2010 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Pauline + Charlie 1 review from this member

 WOW it's a great site with beautiful views all around we only stayed for five nights, and did not want to leave. Very clean site plenty of space between other campers, although if you get the corner it's a bit or a walk to the toilet block, but it wakes you up as you walk over.

Lovely walk to the town with plenty or shops, bars and chippies also very nice honey ice cream. As we like fishing partner decided to do some sea fishing. Got lots of help from the locals in the bar and those fishing already we tried a couple of times but did not catch anything, but it seems the thing to do is crabbing in the harbour great fun.

We will definitely be going back again but for longer next time.

 Absolutely fantastic and sorry to say most highly recommend (sorry to say because I want to keep it to myself so it does not get booked!)

Very clean site, each plot having plenty of room, its own bin which was emptied each day!. Clean free shower block and toilets. Fantastic views and right on the sea front. Within 3 minutes of walking you were within the town of Aberaon, which is quite frankly is a jewel!

Camping on the farm is easy to book, very friendly site owners and more than willing to do anything to help you.

I would highly recommend a stay here, be it in a camper van, mobile home, caravan or tent!

Reviewer: Cavadias 1 review from this member

 Just back from a lovely week here, our second visit.

This is a super 'basic' site. Showers lovely, toilet block always clean - my youngest had a little (wee) accident and the lady had cleaned up before I even had time to get there from my tent to sort it out!

Lots of space in the muddle of the field and lots of privacy - not rows of campers on top of each other if you see what I mean.

Re earlier review mentioning tents being further away from the toilet shower block; its not 'tent discrimination' but because the EHU points are on the pitches nearer the facilities. Water points are spread through the field, so you do not have to take it the whole length of the site.

No children's' play area, but my 2 (5 & 7) had plenty to do; lots of space for ball games and kite flying.

Pebble beach very close (at end of field) - Youngest now has a seaweed collection that we had to bring home.

Nice flat walk into town if you walk by top of beach; very close.

Town has lots to see; nice walks by river and several children's playgrounds. There is a public swimming pool at the secondary school which has family sessions with floating toys etc during the mornings for the summer holidays.

Great 2nd hand book shop, nice places to eat and great town to just look around, and walk by the harbour etc.

Lots of events during summer. Yesterday there was the welsh cob (horses and ponies) show. End of August is rugby sevens, there is also a festival etc.

We had a super time, and if you prefer a simple way of camping/don't need to be entertained, then this is a great site & location. If you prefer a clubhouse, swimming poll on site and don't mind being hemmed in on all sides by other campers, then the Aeron coast next door may be more to your liking.

Reviewer: Mary jeynes 1 review from this member

 We phoned this site at short notice(day before arrival) after being unable to book our usual site and found them to be really helpful and friendly on the phone.

We stayed for a long weekend Thursday- sunday. We arrived after 7 but there was someone to book us in at the farmhouse (young lad very polite and helpful). We had been given the plot furthest from the toilet block which didn't bode well with 2 young children! But we were right next to the beach which definitely made up for the walk to the loo (actually used the bucket lots more than usual!)

The site is next to the beach &the sea is a great lullaby! The toilets were always clean and tidy and even though there were only 3 showers we never had to wait to use them (had showers about 6pm). They were clean and had plenty of hot water.

Site seemed quite busy mostly caravans but was quiet. We walked into aberaeron each evening easy 10 min walk along the beach. We can recommend the New Celtic for brilliant fish & chips both eat in & take away as well as the Brains inn next door called The Monachlty I think, brilliant kids meals & family friendly. Overall a fantastic site and a great time had by all.

Reviewer: Addi35 2 reviews from this member

 Just spent a lovely week at this campsite, (2 Adults our 12 year old son and a dog). Found the site easily with the directions provided. Pitches were lovely and flat and well marked out.

Tom, the site owner was around everyday if you had any problems, which we didn't, Always busy cutting the grass and general maintenance.

Showers/Toilets were cleaned regular (at least 3 times a day), Plenty of hot water. But I would agree with previous reviews that the washing up facilities could do to be improved (though we got round this by filling a bowl of hot water and taking it back to our tent to do the pots)

This is a very dog friendly site but beware it is a working farm with sheep right in the next field.

The town really is only a five minute walk away, with a very nice snack bar making lovely coffees along the way. As well as the picturesque harbour there are a number of shops and bars (many of which do home cooked food). We would recommend Costcutter for your shopping- they really do seem to stock everything.

The Bakery 'Y Popty' on the main road do cooked Chickens and a wide variety of home cooked Pies, The cornish pasties really are to die for. My wifes saying you've got to visit 'the famous £1.20 shop' and my sons saying, the 'home made honey ice creams' on the quay are a must.

All in all a fantastic place making a fantastic holiday. Would we go again? You bet!

 This was my first proper camping trip in a tent (only been in caravans before). The site was in a lovely spot, right by the sea front and only a short walk along the seafront into Aberaeron. The pitch was a good size, flat, good grass, each pitch had it's own rubbish bin.

The site had free showers, shower/toilet block looks fairly new, the toilets and showers we're very clean and fresh.

Owner of the site was friendly & the site had a good feel to it. Will be going back again.

Reviewer: Sian Archer 1 review from this member

 Pros

1. Location couldn't be better - Aberaeron is just lovely. Good Costcutter, chippie and The Harbourmaster was fantastic.

2. Very level pitches - couldn't have faulted it.

3. Really well organised pitches with marked numbers.

Cons

1. If you're at the far end of the field its about a 200m walk to the toilet block.

2. Freezer - was informed via email that we would use a freezer in the farmhouse to re-freeze icepacks but there wasn't anyone around to ask where it was.

3. Didn't see or speak to anyone at the campsite at all. We rocked up found our pitch and that was it. Not sure if that's a pro or con! We didn't have any issues over the weekend except for the freezer and warm white wine so wasn't a huge problem for us! The lady who was cleaning the toilet block (incessantly some might say) was very pleasant.

4. Washing up area almost non-existant.

Despite these cons we would definitely return to the site - hopefully with a pitch a bit nearer to the toilet block.

Reviewer: BRIDGETJONES3 6 reviews from this member

 We had a little trouble finding the site with our sat nav so I thought I would ring the number of the campsite, only to find out that the mobile phone was switched off! This was the only way to contact them other than fax which is hard when you are on the road! So not a particularly good start.

Nice flat site, we were in a tent & for some reason was directed to the bottom of the field (by the sea) which seemed a little odd when the amenities block was at the other end, caravans seem to take precedence.

Nice flat pitch & reasonably sized pitches. One word of caution the site is open & the bottom of the field to the sea front, we just made sure we locked our expensive items in the boot.

Toilets & showers were very clean & lots of hot water, washing up area could do with revamping, there is no where to drain your dishes when washed & the sink is low which if you have back problems is not good. Overall a reasonable site just needs some tweaking.

Reviewer: Csupasparx 1 review from this member

 The previous review was absolutely correct, the pitches are level and well laid out with lots of room, the showers and toilets are new with plenty of hot water. Showers are free and not just a trickle of water.

We arrived in the rain and at the moment it is still raining, however although the camping field appears to be muddy, it is firm. The sea defences appear to be finished now but the gaps in the large boulders could be a hazard to young children and dogs - beware.

The town has everything you could wish for and is only a few minutes walk from the site. We will be back again, next time we will try and bring the sun with us.
