  • 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.

Powered gravel and concrete caravan site

Liked Excellent park and facilities. Very clean and well maintained. Friendly staff. We thoroughly enjoyed two nights here. The free shuttle to Newquay was also very handed.

We enjoyed dinners in the clubhouse and drinks on the terrace outside in the sunshine.

Great play area and swimming pool.

Thank you for a lovely stay. We will be back

Disliked Early check out at 10am. It was a push to get everything sorted and ready to go by then. An hour longer would have made it better but no big issue

2 bedroom static caravan (super, deluxe)

Liked We stayed Monday to Friday in term time with a toddler in a static caravan. Caravan was clean and comfortable. Located very close to New Quay and not far from Aberaeron for day trips. The site had a small indoor pool (need to book), play park and mini golf which the toddler loved. There’s also a soft play a short drive away from the park which was handy on a rainy morning. We loved our holiday and would go again.

Liked What an amazing site! One of the best sites we've stayed at. Everywhere is so well kept. The toilets and showers are spotlessly clean each time you go in. The bar area inside and out is lovely, food is delicious! Swimming is fab, easy to book and so cheap! The pitch we stayed on was in a great area and level. We will definitely be back one day!

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).
