Relaxing quiet site, but you’ll need transport

Shawsmead is a lovely quiet, secluded and sunny site (when the weather is good) however do bear in mind when reviews state not ideal for dog walks, this also includes human walks! We couldn’t find one footpath other than the roads, that are up and down really to anywhere. The highlight is the local National Trust and an easy cycle or walk into Aberaeron.

Fabulous, but not for dog owners.

This is a fabulous site run by lovely friendly people. The site is relatively small in the country near a quaint village in a beautiful area. There is a resident Red Kite that people often feed, (and it will steal your food if you're not watching !) Our ONLY complaint is that this site is advertised as "Good For Dogs", BUT there are no dog walking facilities on site or any available local to the site. The only way to walk your dog without getting in the car is to walk the local lanes, which are narrow and twisty and the traffic can be pretty fast, which is not ideal. This is site is definitely not "Good for dogs". Otherwise, absolutely lovely !

Lovely Jubilee weekend

Lovely site, good facilities (deepest washing up sinks I have ever seen). Patsy and Rob the wardens were extremely welcoming and helpful throughout. The one thing that lets down the site is that there is no dog walk on site, so you are walking your furbabies out the gate and around the block on a busy lane for their evening business. When we were there, the Red Kites would circle the site and ,if the opportunity arose, steal food from barbecues.(we enjoyed watching them). If you want to go out you need your own transport or get a taxi. No shop on site. You can get food delivered. Aberaeron was lovely to visit. Overall we enjoyed a peaceful and relaxing stay

Peaceful & Friendly Countryside Site

We stayed on this site for 2 nights as we travelled through Wales. On arrival Patsy & Rob were lovely - very friendly & very welcoming . A beautiful Red Kite bird of prey was flying low & directly overhead as we chatted outside reception - a regular visitor we were told! After finding our pitch we joined Patsy, Rob & fellow campers for a bucks fizz & a slice of cake in celebration of the Queen's Platinum Jubilee! A very happy atmosphere all round. We also enjoyed chatting with a group of Dutch campers who were travelling with their club in a variety of vehicles towing 1970's caravans! Also we visited historic monument Pentre Ifan while here - it's about 30 miles away from this site & down quite narrow roads but stunning & well worth a visit!

Peace and tranquillity

Had a fabulous week here at Shawsmead, we were greeted by the lovely wardens Rob and Patsy and nothing was too much trouble ,the site was immaculately kept and great size pitches and everyone had facilities close by ie. Water waste and recycling stations, the washing up station was fabulous I didn’t even mind doing the dishes (don’t tell the wife ) the shower block was spotless the highlight of our week were the Red kite flying over which I will post on their Facebook page , Our stay was during the Jubilee celebrations and Rob and patsy made us welcome with a celebratory drink /gathering with all the other holiday makers which was a lovely gesture and got to meet some lovely people I will definitely be returning here

What a lovely site to stay out

This was a lovely site to stay at. The wardens Patsy and Rob very friendly and very helpful no issue too big to help with he would go back and stay again in a heartbeat. A few local shops close by for the bigger shops you got Aberystwyth about 20 miles away what a surprise that places is, Close to the Vale of Rydal Railway beautiful beaches plenty to be exploring in the area.

A Gem

Just spent 4 days at this site. It is a small site, hidden away, but well worth finding. We received a very warm welcome and found a large level pitch. The facilities were excellent and spotless. WiFi very good. Excellent base to strike out to the nearby coastal spots: Aberaeron, New Quay and Aberystwyth. We enjoyed the National Trust's Llanerchaeron which is minutes away. We'll return.

Quiet little site

One of the clubs smaller sites with only 48 pitches doesn’t detract from the allure of this site. If you are looking for a excellently presented and cared for site then this is it. The facilities are spotless and of a high standard. The wardens are friendly and nothing appeared too much trouble. The site is in a rural setting a mile and a half or so from the main A487 and only a short drive from the seaside towns of Aberaeron and New Quay. Dolphins can regularly been seen from the harbour side at New Quay - we saw them! Great location for exploring this area of Cardigan Bay. The one thing for us that would make this a 5 star plus site would be an on-site dog walk but we knew there wasn’t one before we booked.

Peaceful and clean

I found the wardens to be polite and professional, maybe not overly friendly but pleasant enough, and certainly they did a good job of keeping the site and facilities in tip-top condition. No complaints at all. As it's a rural setting it would have been nice to have a well-stocked little shop on site for essentials, whereas even the ice cream freezer was empty. Very peaceful setting, we watched red kites in the woods behind us, and enjoyed our three night's stay here and will be back.

Quiet site in peaceful rural setting

We enjoyed our stay at Shawsmead - four nights over Easter and only hardstanding pitches so relatively quiet. It is clearly well-managed and all facilities very clean and tidy. We were able to choose our pitch which had distant sea views - all pitches are level and easy to access. We will definitely come back.
