  • Family run for over 40 years, two miles from the beach at New Quay
  • Nature pond surrounded by acres of peaceful space
  • Pool, play areas, arcade, kids' club and clubhouse with two bars
Want to pitch up in splendid New Quay on the Ceredigion coast, former home of Dylan Thomas and 20 minutes’ drive from Cardigan Bay, known for its bottlenose dolphins? Pitch up at Pencnwc Holiday Park. It’s less than two miles from New Quay’s safe beaches and harbour walls, five miles from the sands at Ceredigion and 20 from the university town of Aberystwyth; Cardigan is the same distance to the south. The site has been family-run for over 40 years, so there's plenty to do for guests of all inclinations. Let the kids take their pick from two on-site play areas, a big amusement arcade, splashing around in the heated indoor pool with adjacent paddling pool, or getting stuck into art, jewellery, sport and games at the free kids’ club. The entertainment (available every day through the school holidays and every weekend for the rest of the year) runs into the evenings in Merlin’s Den, one of the two bars in the clubhouse, and is suitable for all sizes. Seeking grownup time? Head to the second pub, Smugglers Bar, for a coffee, newspaper or catching up with what’s happening in the world of sport on the bar’s numerous TVs. The bar also serves meals (including breakfasts and lunches), and there's a tempting range of street food to take away – think pizzas, loaded fries and smashed burgers. You may like to take your munchies to the on-site nature pond, where acres of space abound for quiet contemplation (and no one nicking your chips). On-site amenities include loo and shower blocks with hot water, a modern launderette and a washing-up area all kept in spankingly good order among the flowers, shrubbery and well-maintained grounds. There’s no food shop on site, but there are two at the nearby village of Cross Inn, a few minutes’ walk away.

What customers say

This is a very clean and well-maintained site with friendly and helpful staff. Guests praise the spacious pitches and excellent facilities, including the swimming pool and clubhouse. There are plenty of activities for families, and the free shuttle bus to New Quay is a popular addition. Some minor issues include occasional overflowing bins and limited WiFi, though these do not detract from the overall positive experience for most visitors.

Electric gravel and hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Fantastic staff, especially at the bar. Great pitches. Really clean everywhere. just a really nice vibe to the whole place and the food was excellent!

Disliked Two things.
The showers were on a timer with no adjustment for hot and cold. For me, it was too hot. The timer you could count the seconds on one hand before it switched off, and to get into the shower block, you had the floor of doom.

Electric gravel and hardstanding touring pitch

Liked First visit to area since the early 80's surprised how many people still recalled the Holimarine branding now Haven from the area, this was a first rate site as far as facilities are concerned, we stayed during a quiet week in September but noted busier but not too busy times over the weekend periods. Shuttle bus to New Quay is a great plus and Pere is a star knows everyone.Would definitely stay again

Disliked An internal dog friendly area would have been a bonus.

Local attractions

The traditional fishing village of New Quay, two miles away, is, of course, a fine place for fishing – such boat trips bob out from the harbour here, as do dolphin-spotting outings. There's a fine population of the marine mammals nearby but for a cast-iron guarantee of wildlife sightings you may like to drop in at the town's Cardigan Bay Marine Wildlife Centre. The market town of Cardigan (a hub for active pursuits) and the university town of Aberystwyth are both 20 miles away. Top local beaches are at Aberaeron (15 minutes' drive), and Llangrannog (20 minutes).
