  • Clifftop site with stunning sea views out towards Cardigan Bay
  • Under 15 minutes' drive from Aberystwyth
  • 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…

Peregrine fully-serviced gravel motorhome pitch (no awning)

Liked: the campsite is beautifully situated

Disliked: no entry to the sea for disabled people, the stairs to the beach are very dangerous

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi GRZEGORZ KOWALCZYK,

Thank you for your feedback on Morfa Bychan Holiday Park. We're pleased to hear that you found the campsite beautifully situated. However, we are sorry to hear about your difficulty getting to the rocky shorline on our beach. We have a substantial stepped access down to the beach but not a disabled friendly access as the beach is not suited to low mobility people, this is clear in our description of the park, google maps and photographs on the webpage.

Aberystwyth, New Quay and Borth which are all local to the park have access points for all people.

Your comments are important to us, and we are always looking at better ways to get to the beach from the park but are unable to change the entire beach to suit every holiday makers needs.

Thank you

Red Kite fully-serviced gravel touring pitch

Liked: Beautiful location overlooking the bay.
Friendly welcoming staff.
Clean toilets and shower facilities.
Well kept grounds and pitches with picnic benches.
Dog walking area.

Disliked: Our pitch was too small for our awning which was inconvenient so double check sizes before booking.
Our awning was raided by what we believe may have been a badger so take heed of the signs/warnings and keep food locked away!

From the manager: Thank you for your review! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the beautiful location overlooking the bay and appreciated our friendly, welcoming staff. It's great to know that you found the toilets and shower facilities clean, and the grounds and pitches well-kept. We're also glad that you and your dog enjoyed the walking area.

We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the pitch size. Our pitches are designed to be big enough for a caravan/motorhome with a standard size awning.
We apoligize for the unexpected visit from a badger, we remind guests to secure their food in their awnings/tents to avoid any wildlife encounters.

We hope to welcome you back soon! 🌟

Warm regards
Morfa Bychan holiday park team.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi Paul,

Thank you for your review! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the amazing views and found our facilities to be good. 🌅

We understand that the lack of nearby amenities can be inconvenient, especially when traveling with young children. Your feedback is valuable, it is always advisable to research a holiday parks geographic position prior to booking to avoid dissapointment.

The park shop stocks basic provisions from drinks, fresh fruit, tinned food, fresh bread etc, even cuddly toys, games etc for the kids.
The on park food facilitiies have been available every night during the holidays with local takeaway delivery facilities 24/7 to the park.

What more does one need on a quiet, peaceful park.

We hope to welcome you back soon!

Best regards, Morfa Bychan Holiday Park Team

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.
