Just a short drive away are various beaches, fishing lakes and the regency harbour town of Aberaeron, along with wonderful walks and cycle routes that are easily accessible. The popular beachside harbour town of New Quay is just 3 miles away, where you will find a traditional seaside feel and perhaps the chance to buy the day's catch. Lovely shops, tea rooms, ice cream parlours, fish and chip shops, dolphin watching and boat rides can all be enjoyed in New Quay.

The accommodation is clean, decorated very tastefully with everything you need to hand. The garden was fantastic for our reactive dog, as enclosed with fencing so we felt more at ease. The owner Chris was most helpful, made us feel very welcome, thankyou for our lovely welcome hamper too. Would highly recommend a stay at Oakford Farm, the woodland trail was lovely with it's babbling stream and moss covered Gnarly trees, so nice to loose yourself, though Chris has placed arrows on route so no fear of getting lost The coastline is beautiful, we visited a few dog friendly beaches, but sadly didn't get time to do them all, maybe next time. Thankyou again for a lovely relaxing stay.

I recently had an operation and was looking for someone quiet to relax and recover so naturally we chose to stay there again. We were greeted with a warm welcome back by Chris and Fern who left us extra goodies from our favourite local store and a gift for our dog, Tess. They are such lovely hosts and the personal touch is what will keep us going back time and time again. This time we stayed in the Onnen hut and it was fabulous. We have all the facilities we needed for our 3 night stay. The kitchen is well-equipped with all the utensils and crockery you need. There is a selection of toiletries provided if you forgot to pack your own. The towels and bedding are lovely and clean. Thereâs also coffee and tea and condiments provided too which is super handy. The garden was ideal for the dog who enjoyed running laps around the enclosed garden when she had the zoomies. We honestly cannot fault anything about the place. We absolutely love it. Itâs very closely situated to Aberaeron which has a good selection of shops and restaurants. I cannot recommend this place enough. We are already discussing when we will be back to visit next year. Thanks again to Chris and Fern for making our visit perfect!
