A cool retro-chic caravan on an organic farm near Cardigan Bay

The glamping at Nantgwynfaen Organic Farm comes with vintage style and views of the Teifi Valley. From the outside, The Glamavan is a single static caravan in an enviable location but step inside and you are transported to another era. Carefully-sourced vintage furniture and cool retro fabrics combine with mod cons to make glamping accommodation that is as stylish as it is comfortable. And it’s all within the glorious rural surroundings of west Wales, not far from Cardigan Bay.

The Glamavan sits in its own lovely little garden at Nantgwynfaen Organic Farm where there’s also a five-pitch campsite, a farm shop and a couple of self-catering cabins and rooms. It’s been lovingly created and cared for by kind and capable couple, Amanda and Ken, who’ve lived on this land for more than 25 years. Their organic approach to farming, the sustainable products stocked in the shop and the eco-friendly holidays they offer show how much they love this place – and it’s rather hard not to.

Step outside your comfy caravan and you are surrounded by nature with red kites swooping overhead and garden birds chattering in trees. The sights and sounds of the farm are entertainment enough for some but there’s a games room too, with table tennis, a pool table and more. Off site, the west coast of Wales beckons. It’s a 30-minute drive to the charming fishing village of New Quay and the sandy beaches of Cardigan Bay. It's just a little further to reach Cardigan itself and Pembrokeshire. Excellent fishing and pleasant walks can be found closer by on the banks of the River Teifi, the longest river in Wales and the natural sculptor of the views you enjoy from the comfort of the Glamavan.

Tent pitch · Sleeps 2
 ConTENTed is the smallest pitch at Nantgwynfaen, but it's elevated westerly facing position makes it a bright and ideal pitch for 1 or 2 guests.  It feels intimate and private, surrounded by garden shrubs and hedges, but there is surprisingly enough space for a medium tent.  Please note that if you would like a campfire too, it will be only be possible if your tent is smaller - due to space constraints. Please call us if you are concerned about this. Dogs are most welcome. Nantgwynfaen Organic Farm is a very special place. It is a working farm with sheep and sometimes cattle in the summer. Hens lay fresh eggs daily and Ben the Collie and Dave the Corgi area always ready to play ball. It is just so peaceful – a place to unwind and listen to the birds. Each camping pitch is carefully laid out in their own private space with only the green countryside to soak up. It is a quiet family-friendly site suitable for families, couples, retired couples and anyone who just loves the great outdoors. BBQs & Campfires welcome.   There is a large games barn, with table tennis, pool and darts.  The farm shop is well stocked, and there is a larger village shop 2 miles away (or a half an hour walk) where there is a gastro pub The Daffodil Inn Penrhiwllan. There is a petrol station in Llandysul 3 miles away. The toilet and shower facilities are located on the farmyard in a stylish zinc building, where there is free hot water. There is a dish washing sink and drainer, an open-air wash hand basin for face, teeth and hands; a shower cubicle with a quirky watering can shower; and a toilet and sink cubicle.  There is a freezer for freezing blocks.  Note: some camping pitches have private toilet and shower facilities. Guests are encouraged to explore all corners of the 60-acre farm, so bring your wellies! Sorry, we cannot accommodate larger groups. We ask guests to be quiet after 10.00pm.  As well as the camping pitches at Nantgwynfaen (Love at First Site, ConTENTed, Sun of a Pitch, Pitch Perfect and HindSite) there is other accommodation on offer for those who who want a break from canvas - or who want to visit during cooler months : Glamping in The Glamavan (the retro chic static caravan which sleeps up to 5), Ty Nodyn, a quirky cottage on the farmyard with a 'piano bed' and log burner (sleeps 3+1) and the log cabin, Ty Mamgu (Grandma's House) a romantic retreat for 2 with a real piano and cosy log burner.  In the stone farmhouse there is a double room with a sweet adjoining private kitchen.  It is called Y Parlwr Bach (the little parlour) and comes with an optional second double room (max 4 can sleep in the farmhouse).  Contact Nantgwynfaen direct to book.

The Glamavan

100%
(2)
Holiday rental · Sleeps 5 · 2 bedrooms · 4 beds · 1 toilet
The Glamavan is a very fun retro-chic vintage-style static caravan which sleeps up to five, but is equally a romantic bolthole for couples. Set in its own gardens along a charming chestnut paling fence it has commanding views over the Teifi Valley and organic farm.  It has a double bedroom (135cm/4'6" wide double bed) and a twin bedroom (60cm/2' wide, 165cm/5'6"ft long beds – shorter than average, suitable for children and small adults). There is a sofa bed in the bay window for a fifth person. A fully fitted kitchen fulfills all your culinary needs – a gas cooker with eye level grill, toaster, kettle, microwave and fridge with small ice box. There is a shower and toilet in the bathroom. For entertainment there are games, Wifi, a smart TV with DVD player and a Robert's Radio. There is a BBQ, firepit and outdoor furniture set amongst the flowers in the private established garden. When it gets chilly there are electric radiators and a heated towel rail. All linen and towels are provided (but please bring your own beach towels). With just the chickens for neighbours, who could ask for more? There is a Wendy House nearby, a washing line and outdoor tap. The farm shop is stocked full of convenient goodies and a loaf of bread can be made for you, with 24 hours notice. Nantgwynfaen Organic Farm is a working farm set in beautiful West Wales. Here is a place where you can experience peace and tranquillity – unwind surrounded by green fields, with wonderful views. There is birdsong all day and a dark sky at night to observe unpolluted heavens. Just a short drive will take you to the dramatic coast of Cardigan Bay with its magnificent sandy beaches, the coastal path and Bottlenose Dolphins. Drink at local microbreweries, eat wood-fired pizzas, walk to the gin distillery and cheesemaker. The farm itself prides itself on its green credentials and award-winning accommodation. There is a games barn with table tennis and pool table – a refuge from the elements and a cool space when it's sunny. The farm shop is stocked with local organic produce and homemade bread to order. Picture yourself gathered around a campfire on a warm summers evening surrounded by ancient ash trees. Look up and watch the swallows, red kites, buzzards and later on the bats and owls. With just the scent of roses and honeysuckle and wood smoke what more could you want? Isn’t it every camper's dream to find such a place, where you can be alone in a secluded glade with only your friends and family? Walk from the doorstep around the lush 60-acre farm, climb Mary’s hill, find the dingly dell, pooh corner and the sound of music trees and help collect the eggs in the morning.

Nearby attractions

It's a short drive to Cardigan Bay, famous for its bottlenose dolphins. The Ceredigion Heritage Coast is home to lovely seaside towns and villages like Llangrannog – where you can even go dry-slope skiing – and New Quay, a wonderful little fishing village a few miles south from the colourful harbour town of Aberaeron. There's a host of good beaches and an array of great walking routes, while further south the Pembrokeshire Coast Path takes in the best of the National Park and its dramatic coastline, as does the longer Wales Coast Path. The National Wool Museum (free entry) is a short drive from the farm, while Newcastle Emlyn is 10 minutes away and boasts the ruins of a 13th century castle, good restaurants, and a country market every Friday. The River Teifi offers trout fishing, walking trails and canoeing in most places.  This is a great area for coasteering.  There is a comprehensive list of things to do and places to eat in this fabulous area on the site's own website.

Food and drink

There's a farm shop on site specialising in organic produce, some fresh from the farm, and sustainable goods. Don't miss the chance to enjoy a loaf of fresh flowerpot bread baked by Ken (just order 24 hours in advance). A couple of miles down the road lies The Daffodil Inn (01559 370343) at Penrhiwllan, a cracking gastropub (listed in the Michelin Guide) with stunning views of the Teifi Valley countryside from its dining room. Teifi Cheese Farm is very nearby and is a lovely place to stock up on local cheese and buy award winning botanical and seaweed gin from their organic distillery (book to go on a distillery tour). Cardigan is a great place to eat in. Buy local crab and other delicacies from the Tuesday Market in St Dogmaels then eat at Pizza Tipi, Crwst, Bara Menyn (amazing sour dough) and El Salsa Mexican street food (you might need a couple of trips!). Fantastic fresh organic vegetables are grown at Glebelands Market Garden (Thurs-Sat) at St Dogmaels and there is a very nice well stocked village shop at Penrhiwllan Stores.
