Shepherd's huts near New Quay

Not to be confused with Newquay in Cornwall, the seaside town of New Quay (Cei Bach) is situated on the Ceredigion Coast Path in Cardigan Bay. Both a stand-alone destination and a base for exploring the length of the West Wales coast, New Quay is sandwiched between the St David’s Peninsula to the south, the Coed y Brenin Forest Park to the north, and the Brecon Beacons to the east. Campers and adventurers are spoilt for choice too, thanks to several nearby full-service caravan parks, holiday parks, and glamping grounds with bell tents, as well as proximity to Welsh countryside and water-based activities.

Weekend Trip to Over-the-Moon Luxury Shepherds Hut

We had the most wonderful stay at this gorgeous shepherds hut. Everything about our visit was just perfect. The setting was so peaceful and private and dreamy, such a beautiful little escape to relax and switch off. The hut itself was cosy, spotless, and had everything we could possibly need, you can really tell how much care and thought has gone into it. The hosts were incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive, which made the whole experience feel even more special. Honestly, there is nothing we would change. We left feeling so happy and refreshed and would absolutely love to come back again. Could not recommend it more 💖

Weekend Trip to The Peacock Shepherds Hut

Absolutely delightful place!! We arrived in the pitch black but found it very easily. The hut was beautifully furnished, when we woke this complemented the absolutely breathtaking views on what was a very cold winter morning but the hut was very warm and cosy. I will 100% recommend this stay and will most likely be returning for a longer stay to take in some more of the Welsh countryside.

Weekend Trip to The Peacock Shepherds Hut

The hut was lovely and had everything that we need for weekend getaway. The land was so peaceful and there were alpacas nearby. We arrived late a night and took the wrong turn at first but once we got on the right path it was easy to find. Would recommend if you're looking for quiet time off.

Had an amazing time at Alison and Bear’s shepherds hut. Such a beautiful, peaceful location and a very cosy hut. Alison and Bear were very kind and helpful, guiding us to the hut when we arrived and they’d already lit the log burner and hot tub fire.

The Peacock Shepherds Hut was amazing. The views are incredible and the hut was really comfortable and well thought out from the lovely Peacock details to underfloor heating. The facilities provided everything I needed to enjoy a peaceful break. Fantastic place to relax and reset listening to birds and enjoying the roaming peacocks and wandering down to see the Alpacas. Carol makes you feel so welcome. I will definitely be recommending this place to friends.

Our stay at Over the Moon was absolutely perfect. Ruth was super friendly and gave clear instructions on how to find them, and replied quickly to any questions. The location is beautiful and incredibly peaceful. The hut had everything we needed and the bed was huge and very comfortable. We can’t wait to come stay again!

Weekend Trip to Westland Farm

We booked a weekend stay with our daughter and it was lovely, very peaceful and calm. She loved feeding the pigs! The hot tub stays hot for a long time once you’ve got it going so worth firing it up nice abs early. The site owners were always around and really helpful too.

Have already recommended this place to friends. We had a lovely stay in the sunshine. The hut is has everything you need in a compact but unsquashy space. Enjoyed some fine walks and a super day out in Ruthin. We'd also recommend the Red Lion for a visit. Ruth & Jude were both very helpful and welcoming. I'm sure we'll come back.

This is a beautiful campsite, in a remote and peaceful location, with great amenities. We stayed in the shepherds' hut, which was extremely cosy. Ruth and Jono are friendly and welcoming, and we would both come back again and also recommend it to anyone looking for a serene campsite in a beautiful setting.

I had a wonderful stay in this charming shepherd’s hut nestled in a peaceful meadow. The hut was beautifully equipped with everything I needed for a comfortable and cozy getaway. The surrounding area was lovely, with fruit to pick and plenty of space for the dogs, who absolutely loved it! The hosts were fabulous—friendly, helpful, and welcoming. I couldn’t have asked for more. Highly recommend this little gem for a relaxing countryside retreat.

We absolutely loved our stay at Alison’s place. It was so calm and peaceful, the shepherds hut was clean and comfy, and we especially loved the hot tub and the fire pit! Would definitely recommend for a quiet weekend away. It’s also well connected to local areas for exploring.

Shepherd's huts near New Quay guide

Where to go

Coed y Brenin Forest Park

At the northern extreme of Cardigan Bay sits the Coed y Brenin Forest Park, a hub of mountain biking paths, well-signposted hiking routes, and geocaching trails with on-site facilities and children's play areas. Routes are sometimes disrupted due to tree felling and although there are no camping facilities within the park itself, there are several nearby family-friendly caravan parks, private campgrounds, and holiday villages to enjoy.

Pembrokeshire Coast National Park

Just 35 minutes south of New Quay is the town of St Dogmaels, also known as the official gateway to the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, an expanse of striking coastline with sandy beaches and a coastal path that takes 12 to 14 days to complete in its entirety. From canoeing and surfing, to hiking and biking, there’s plenty to keep adventurers occupied, while campers are also well-catered for by full-service caravan sites with sea views, campgrounds suitable for campervans, and en-suite glamping options.

Brecon Beacons National Park

Inland, the Brecon Beacons National Park with its stunning views, mountains, and Llangorse Lake, a watersports hotspot, is easily accessible from New Quay in just over an hour and a half. Hiking, horseback riding, and mountain biking are activities available throughout the park, while stargazers can set up camp in the country’s only International Dark Sky Reserve. Choose from glamping yurts or static caravan sites suitable for the colder winter months and campgrounds with motorhome hook-ups where you can also pitch your tent.

When to go

A year-round destination on the West Wales coast, New Quay enjoys peak season (and the warmest weather) between June and September. However, the spring and early-autumn months are also pleasant. Just keep in mind that Wales is a wet country and plan for unexpected rainfall throughout the year. New Quay holds an annual music festival during late-July/ early-August, so book accommodation in advance if you happen to be in town that weekend.

Know before you go

Bottlenose dolphins are common in the waters off New Quay and boat trips can help you get even closer to the action. You can also view them from the pier, within walking distance of the town centre.
Once the home of poet Dylan Thomas, New Quay now has a Dylan Thomas trail which can be enjoyed year-round, although parts of it are only accessible at low tide.
Thanks to the particularly scenic coastal roads in this area of Wales, it’s worth taking advantage of the Cardi Bach shuttle which runs between Cardigan and New Quay throughout the year, with reduced hours in winter.
New Quay is small but well-stocked when it comes to camping supplies, so don’t panic if you’ve forgotten anything.
