  • Contemporary park in a peaceful and scenic north Wales setting
  • In green countryside 20 minutes from the coast at Talacre
  • Local village a couple of minutes’ drive; three pubs within 1.5 miles
The ‘Haulfryn’ in Haulfryn Caravan Park means ‘Sunny Hill’ in Welsh, and while bright weather can’t be guaranteed at this modern site opened in summer 2019, a scenic and peaceful hol is most definitely on the cards. As well as having new facilities – the owners have spent several months getting the site fully shipshape for guests – Haulfryn Caravan Park's also well placed: long walks and excellent pubs are close by and it’s easy to get out and about by car as it’s a five-minute drive from the A55. For those keen on hitting the road to check out the Flintshire and north Wales highlights of countryside and coast, Talacre is 20 minutes’ drive away for bathing at Barkby beach or birdwatching at Hilbre Islands; the resort town of Rhyl is half an hour away and the long, wide North Shore beach of Llandudno is 40 minutes. Heading inland, it’s also 40 minutes to both Wrexham and Chester for city times, and 20 minutes to the fine town of Flint on the River Dee. So that’s the sights sorted… but how about the facilities once you’re back on base? Haulfryn Caravan Park has all the essentials including showers and toilets, disabled facilities, chemical disposal and a drying room. Other amenities are close by too: the local village is a couple of minutes’ drive away, Holywell is 10 minutes and – perhaps most importantly – three pubs are within a mile and a half.

Lodge (hot tub, no pets)

Liked: The Caravan Park was clean and well maintained. Kirsty was really friendly and advised us on places to visit. The hot tub was clean and we liked that you could park your car in front for privacy. The kitchen was fully equipped and was also given complimentary tea and coffee. We even found board games in one of the kitchen drawers.

Disliked: Nothing!!

Chelsea B. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Lodge (hot tub, no pets)

Liked: Couple Early 30's. Site is not hard to find and is perfectly situated within 20 minutes walk of the local pub (Druid). Once you pull up you'll notice how secure and quiet the site is. The lodge itself is lovely and spacious with literally everything you can think of you'd need to make your stay comfortable. And if you can't find it, the host Kirsty is more than happy to help! We forgot a casserole dish and she literally brought one from her own home for me to use!!! She even drove us to the pub because she was free! If you have birthdays, they are amazing at picking up things to decorate and putting wine in for you . Honestly, lovely relaxing stay in a beyond spotless lodge (Kirsty literally spends over 2 hours deep cleaning them between guests, I am witness) would a thousand percent stay here again. If not just for the lovely lodge but for the fantastic ownership and lovely lodge neighbours in the static next door. We haven't even left yet but I'm reviewing it, that's how good!

Disliked: Didn't dislike at all. Just suggestions for improvement. Sanitary Bin in bathroom. Hooks near hot tub (pod2) as had to put towels on car bonnet. Melamine dinnerware for eating outside as very scared we'd smash the glass table outside with ceramic plates. Especially with the wind!

Lodge (hot tub, no pets)

Liked: This place is a total hidden gem. Absolutely beautiful lodges which are absolutely spotless and equipped with everything you need. The hot tub was lovely my 6 year old absolutely loved it. This was a trip for myself, my mum & my daughter for my mums birthday, we had such a relaxing time and the owners made it so personal they even brought my mum flowers for her birthday on our departure. Location is great, not to far from neighbouring villages and only a short drive to seaside towns. If you are looking for somewhere peaceful to totally relax this place is for you. We will 100% be returning.

Disliked: Absolutely nothing.

Local attractions

Along with beaches, Flintshire and its surrounds have their fair share of top towns and trekking: head to Holywell – known as the Lourdes of Wales for its St Winifrede’s Well shrine and chapel – to see sights like Basingwerk Abbey’s ruins or to wander through Greenfield Valley Heritage Park. The town of Mold, also 10 minutes’ drive, is your spot for the Grade I-listed St Mary’s Church and a motte and bailey castle. Hike across the limestone cliffs of Bryn Alyn here or amble over to Prestatyn, the seaside town leading to the start of Offa’s Dyke Path (20 minutes away), for saunters on a section of this 177-mile-long trail. If you’re wanting to seriously work those legs, the highest peak in Wales is at Snowdonia National Park 45 minutes’ drive away. But not to worry if you’re already too shattered after all the other strolls: a train’s on hand to whisk you straight up to the top.
