One Cat Farm

Aberaeron, Ceredigion, Wales
1 acre hosted by Jessie R.
A cosy, eco-friendly glamping site, three miles from the beaches of Cardigan Bay

There’s something utterly charming about Ceredigion's One Cat Farm. Hidden down a narrow lane, this year-round, eco-glamping spot comprises just four unique 'camping dens' set amidst a three acre meadow, all set within an enchanting wooded valley. 

Hosts Jessie and Lyndon are hospitality personified. Tea, coffee, freshly-baked bread, and the warmest of welcomes await guests on arrival. After parking up, grabbing a wheelbarrow and trundling down through the lush field, guests can't fail to be wowed by their new home. These tiny-timbered-tent-cabins blend effortlessly into the surroundings with their timber cladding and turf roofs. Inside, the simple yet inviting decor has a distinctly Nordic feel, with plywood walls, furniture and super comfy beds with crisp, hotel linen and sprung mattresses. 

These all-weather alternatives to the traditional camping holiday come insulated, double-glazed and with full electricity. Outside all the camping neccesities are provided – picnic tables, hammocks and campfire pits for cooking. There’s also an exceptionally well-equipped communal kitchen area (just a 30 second walk away) housed in the former pig shed, complete with hot water, 4-ring gas hobs, and a huge fridge. Basic essentials are provided along with cook books to inspire you. And if you forgot your dinner (or want to treat yourself) there is a small shop selling some nibbles to tuck into a picnic.

On rainy days, the pig shed really comes into its own, serving as a central hub for guests. A huge dining table encourages more sociable guests to get to know one another over dinner, while the sofa and wood burner provide a cosy cwtch to snuggle up with a book. 

Facilities-wise, there's a pair of proper flushing loss and twin showers, plus two private wood-fired outdoor bathtubs. Stargazing doesn't get much better than this as you soak away in the steaming tub spotting constellations in the pristine night sky.  

It’s the setting, however, that really sets this place apart. Sheep, cattle and horses dot the surrounding countryside, while the campsite itself is home to a pair of ponds, with dragonflies zipping overhead and fish shimmering beneath the surface. Red kites are never far away too and are regularly seen circling over the site.There are two excellent nature reserves within a half hour drive, while Cardigan Bay, three miles away, is one of the best places in the world to see dolphins. It’s not a bad spot for simply lounging on the beach either.

Nearby attractions
Follow footpaths from the doorstep and you can go the full 3 miles down to the coast (and also the town of Aberaeron – boasting brightly painted houses, a pretty harbour and excellent honey ice-cream). You can also walk the 2 miles to Llanerchaeron (01545 570200) – a Grade I listed Georgian villa on the banks of the River Aeron. It's a pleasant route that takes you through the local woodlands. The estate has a farm, walled gardens, lake, café and acres of woodland and pasture to explore, as well as the manor house itself. Nearby New Quay is another essential stop. Visitors can embark on dolphin watching excursions from its lovely harbour. It was also once home to Dylan Thomas and reportedly served as the inspiration for his seminal Under Milk Wood. Further afield, Aberystwyth Castle (01970 612188), Cardigan Castle (01239 615131) and Cilgerran Castle (01239 621339) are all within driving distance.
Food and drink
The Harbourmaster Hotel (01545 570755) in Aberaeron (3 miles) is renowned for its excellent locally-sourced food and there is also Manuka restaurant (01545 570033), an old fashioned place with an old fashioned menu but very well executed. There's also a fishmonger, good butcher, health food shop, deli and small supermarket, while, in the village Blaencamel Far organic farm shop (01570 470529) sells vegetables grown on site.
