Hardstanding pitches with electric connection

Family run for over 40 years, two miles from the beach at New Quay
Fishing lake 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 rubbernecking at the bottlenose dolphins of Cardigan Bay? 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 it knows what’s what in making sure it has a stonking amount to do on site for guests of all sizes and inclinations. After your warm Welsh welcome at reception, let the small sorts roam: they can take their pick from two on-site play areas, an amusingly big amusement arcade, splashing around in the heated indoor pool with adjacent paddling pool, or getting crafty making art, jewellery, sport and games at the free kids’ club. The entertainment runs into the evening in Merlyn’s Den, one of the two bars in the clubhouse, and is suitable for all sizes. Seeking a slightly more sedate or grownup time? Hide yourself away in Pencnwc’s 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 tellies. 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 fishing lake, where acres of space abound for quiet contemplation (and no-one nicking your chips). Small sorts probably won’t be too fussed about the on-site facilities, but grownups should be chuffed with the amenities on offer including loo and shower blocks with free 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 you’ll find two at the nearby village of Cross Inn, a few minutes’ walk away.

Electric gravel and hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Quiet, pretty area

Disliked: No night entertainment as selected, apart from one quiz night, not much to do on camp during the day or the surrounding area

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi Michelle,
Thank you for your feedback. We're pleased you enjoyed our peaceful setting. We should clarify that outside school holidays we don't advertise entertainment as we focus on maintaining our tranquil atmosphere, though we do host occasional activities like quiz nights. The surrounding countryside offers lovely walks, with more attractions a short drive away. We're currently exploring additional daytime options for all seasons. Your comments help us improve while preserving the calm environment many guests seek. We hope to welcome you back to experience our beautiful location again.
Thanks
Liam

Electric gravel and hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Pitch sizes were really good. Site is large with lots of green space and lakes. Plenty of areas for children to play, even had an crazy golf on site at a cost.
Security on the club house doors
Good toilet and shower facilities and very clean
Although there is a Londis nearby it is not well stocked and pricey but there is a morrisions local about 10 mins drive away which was great
Again about 15 mins drive to the beach, we do like to walk on holidays but given we were down lanes and all uohill on the return not really suitable for young walkers
Swimming was good had to pay 50p for a slot

Disliked: No security/gates at entrance of the park.
No on site shop for either groceries or camping accessories
Pub food was not to everyones taste being street food very limited choice, pizza, burgers, hotdogs, loaded fries and nachos.
Fishing lake almost unfishable due to excess weed growth
Bins were overflowing for a few days which meant rubbish was on the floor
Wifi only in cluhouse

From the manager: Hi Lorraine,
Thank you for your detailed feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed our spacious pitches, green surroundings, and clean facilities, as well as the play areas and nearby beach access.

We’re addressing the invasive weed in the fishing lake with professional help. Regarding food, we offer street food from 2pm and a fuller evening menu from 5pm—we’ll review options for more variety. Your notes on bins, security, and WiFi are also being considered for future improvements.

We hope to welcome you back for an even better stay!
Warm regards,
Liam

Electric gravel and hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Reception was extremely welcoming and helpful, the site was very clean, as were the toilets and showers, the pitch was very large, with electric in easy reach, facilities such as water, motorhome service points etc were close.
The clubhouse, and swimming pool were excellent, the staff being very friendly and helpful, the food, especially Sunday lunch was superb, and reasonably priced., even having gluten free food for my coeliac wife.
There was even a free shuttle bus to New Quay on Saturday, which was my 77th birthday.
A really enjoyable weekend break.

Disliked: Unfortunately the Saturday night solo artist was not appreciated by everyone, and the room soon emptied.

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).
