Dora Vintage Caravan Accommodation

A restored Edwardian glamping caravan on an organic farm near Lampeter

For a genuinely one-of-a-kind stay in the Ceredigion countryside, this beautifully restored Edwardian horse-drawn caravan — dating from around 1911 — offers a romantic, characterful glamping experience for two on an organic farm near Lampeter. Tucked into peaceful green countryside not far from the Cardigan Bay coast, “Dora” combines vintage charm with simple, back-to-nature comforts, including a wood-burning stove and a wood-fired outdoor bath. It is dog-friendly too, making it a lovely, unusual escape for couples who want to slow right down and unplug.

Characterful glamping for two

The caravan sleeps two in a double bed, made up with a duvet and warm wool blankets, with a wood-burning stove and a complimentary basket of logs and kindling for relaxed evenings. Shower, WC and washing-up facilities are a short walk away, and cooking is done at an outdoor gas stove sheltered under a Dutch barn, with a fridge and all the equipment provided — proper glamping, with the charm of an antique caravan and the freedom of the open farm around you.

A wood-fired bath and farm to explore

A real treat here is the Finnish wood-fired outdoor bath tub (firewood included) — a memorable way to soak under the stars after a day out. The working organic farm has plenty to enjoy too: a two-mile nature trail, an activity barn with a pool table and table tennis, barbecue facilities, a pizza oven (for a small charge) and a children’s playground. There is also an EV charger available, and you can even plant a tree on the farm during your stay.

Exploring Lampeter and the Teifi Valley

The farm sits near Lampeter, a small university and market town in the lovely Teifi Valley, surrounded by rolling green countryside. It is a peaceful, rural part of West Wales, well placed for the Cardigan Bay coast — the pretty harbour towns of Aberaeron and New Quay, with their beaches and dolphin-watching, are a short drive away, as is the tranquil Cors Caron nature reserve. It is a wonderful base for a quiet, away-from-it-all break close to both countryside and coast.
