  • Family holiday park in the grounds of an 18th-century listed building
  • Aberdyfi 20 minutes' drive; half an hour from Barmouth
  • Play area and laundry facilities; pub and station five minutes' walk
Whether you’re getting out over rugged peaks or green clifftops, Hendre Hall Holiday Park is a fine spot for exploring the Cardigan Bay coast and the gorgeous countryside of the Cambrian mountains in Snowdonia National Park. Sitting between the two, this site is located in the grounds of Hendre Hall, an attractive listed building that dates back to the 18th century – making it a historic base for exploring the green hills that make this landscape one of the prettiest in Britain. Have your camera at the ready to capture some of the sunsets that light up the sky in the west. You may also want to take photos of the food, the hills and the many miles of spectacular coastline, including views over to the Llŷn Peninsula, Snowdon, Barmouth and Bardsey Island. With a bit of luck, you may see the dolphins that live in Cardigan Bay too. Sea and sand on your mind? That's not a surprise – the nearest beach is about a five-minute walk away along a footpath that is directly accessible from the site. Llwyngwril's other amenities, like a friendly local pub, a railway station and a small shop, are also about five minutes' walk away. There are solid on-site facilities at Hendre Hall Holiday Park too, including toilets, showers, a wash house with laundry facilities and a recycling area. Kids are very welcome here and have a playground all to themselves; dogs are allowed to come and explore the area by your side too. Hendre Hall Holiday Park is also home to pygmy goats and chickens which can be visited and fed. Please note that this is a family site and that quiet hours are in force after 10.30pm.

What customers say

This is a clean, friendly, and well-located campsite with beautiful sea and mountain views, just a short walk from the beach and train station. Pitches are a good size, and staff are consistently praised for their friendliness and helpfulness. On-site amenities, including a bar, cafe, and farm shop, are popular. Some guests noted limited toilet and shower facilities, especially during peak times, and the coin-operated showers were a minor point for a few. Overall, visitors highly recommend this site for its location, atmosphere, and value.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Just back from a week here and here is my completely honest review.

Amazing location- overlooking a beach and withing walking distance and access to the beach.

On a farm- loved having the animals around us.

Absolutely stunning sunsets

In a beautiful but very quiet little village which has a pub, small spar shop and train station- all withing walking distance.

Disliked The organisation of the site- the site was very busy and fully booked, and owners were taking extra walk-ins each day. Who were quite literally being squeezed in here, there and everywhere.

Guests, who had been there a week were then being asked by the owners to move over to make more space across pitches or to move into other fields, away from other family members to create a bigger space for bigger vehicles who were turning up on the day!! - this caused absolute chaos for several families, ourselves included and when you've set up your caravan, awning and have been settled - you absolutely should not be asked to move over to accommodate others for there lack of organisation.

Pitches were very uneven and on a slope- even with caravan legs fully extended.

The check-in area was very chaotic with papers everywhere and nobody really knowing what on earth was going on or where anybody was supposed to be pitched. The owner himself swearing and having to apologize for the lack of tidiness and organisation and not being able to check us in for 25mins, as he couldn't find a pitch available (which we had already booked and paid for!)

They only have 1 washing up area with 1 sink, no plug for the sink and the water you use to wash your pots is barely luke warm.

There was only 2 female toilets and two male toilets and 4 shower cubicles.

All of this proved very difficult when the campsite was fully booked/over booked and people were always waiting to wash pots or use the toilet.

The elsan/waste water disposal was around 2 feet off the ground instead of being lower down to the ground- which caused several problems for the older generation of guests, trying to lift heavy waste tanks up in order to empty them.

All in all, we feel there are several areas of improvement needed by the owners to address before we would return in the future. - a few suggestions would be..

1. allocate pitches to guests before arrival in order to keep families together and make sure the pitch is big enough for the size of there vehicles/units.

2. Put in more toilets and washing areas.

3. More staff to cope with busy periods and help to organize the running of the site in general.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Really friendly, helpful staff.
Location was brilliant - beach and mountains within walking distance.
Station was a bonus as could travel easily to different areas
Cafe/bar great - lovely tapas and great view from gardens
Well stocked shop and local shop also walking distance
Quiet and well kept. Showers and toilets clean.

Disliked Would be even better if there was just a couple more toilets, appreciate it was High season but had to queue most times we needed to go.
WiFi was intermittent but in a way this helped us switch off!

Local attractions

When you set down here, ready your swimming gear, as Bala Lake (40 minutes’ drive) is a fine setting for sailing, wild swimming and canoeing or hiking the hills on all sides. The kit will come in handy for exploring the Barmouth (30 minutes) seafront by paddleboard, too, or windsurfing and kitesurfing in Aberdyfi (20 minutes). If more active pursuits are what you like your holidays chock-full with, Dolgellau (20 minutes) is a good point of departure for hikes, mountain biking or climbing crags. More beach paddles, perhaps, in Tywyn (15 minutes), followed by a traditional butter bun? Perhaps your preferred way of taking in views is from a cosy seat on an old steam train, such as the Fairbourne Railway (five minutes). It’s one of several historical places you might want to seek out – others include the Dyffryn Ardudwy burial chamber (40 minutes) and the Italian-style Portmeirion (50 minutes) village. Plas Brondanw Gardens (50 minutes) was designed by the same architect that created Portmeirion.
