  • 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 lovely, well-maintained site with stunning coastal views, just a short walk from the beach and train station. Visitors praise the friendly and helpful staff, the on-site farm shop and cafe/bar, and the charming animals. Facilities are generally clean, though some guests noted a need for more toilets and showers during peak times. The proximity to the train line is seen as an asset by many.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked The location was really good with views over the estuary and towards the mountains. The facilities were adequate, functional and clean.

Disliked Access to the bar very limited. Closed when they had advertised it as open and closed to us when a wedding took place.
The access with caravan thru both gates is really tight.

sharon D.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked The area & pitch were fab, a very clean site. The closeness to the beach was great, just a 5 minute walk & you're on the beach which leads you into the village.
Donkeys, goats & sheep were next to us in the next field, the Donkeys were friendly & loved a head scratch.
The pub & coffee shop on site were great, dog friendly & friendly staff who made you feel welcome.
The village was very quaint & assessable very interesting history which the 'Yarnbombers' told throughout the village in crotcheted memorabilia & history write ups.
Lovely village pub very friendly & dog friendly too.

Disliked The only downside were only 2 toilets each for male & female & although while we were there at the start it was manageable when it became the weekend & got busy it did become a bit of a struggle. But they were very clean.

Arthur E.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Lovely location, short walk to beach with beautiful views.
Bar ,cafe and meals on site, nice bar but didn't have opportunity to try the food this time.
Short 5 min walk to attractive village with shop and pub and also train station for scenic train journeys to popular coastal towns north and south.
Level pitch with sufficient room. Staff friendly.
Good phone signal {ee} and TV reception.
I didn't find the passing trains to be a noise problem and didn't seem to start until 7.30.

Disliked Firstly if towing caravan the road to the village is very narrow in places even though it's an A road and near impossible to turn into the site from Fairbourne direction, the option is to turn around at a side road 100 yds past the entrance which could also be difficult if there are cars parked there etc. The entrance needs widening asap.
The facilities are poor and probably not enough when the site is busy ( but were clean ) could really do with new toilets, showers , disabled facilities, waste water and chemical waste disposal points.
New facilities might lead to prices going up , possibly many visitors would opt to leave things as they are with reasonable prices.

From the manager: Thanks for the feedback Arthur. We are looking at the best way to extend our shower and loo facilities before next year, so watch this space. We send an email out to campers ahead of their visit with information on accessing the site with large vehicles, and have considered widening the entrance. As a listed building within national park boundaries, this has been a challenge.

This is our 2nd time visiting, recommended to friends

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.
