The play area (added by manager 30 Oct 2019)

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; fish and chips, pies and other seaside snacks available from the Smugglers takeaway can be taken into the entertainment bar and the Smugglers bar serves sit-down meals. Or take 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.

Powered gravel and concrete caravan site

Liked: Probably our favourite ever campsite. Swam each day in the indoor swimming pool, loved the crazy golf and ate outside in the restaurant. The customer service was excellent and friendly, in both reception and the restaurant. The food lovely. Would highly recommend. Even has a shuttle bus to New Quay. Made us feel very welcome and nothing too much trouble, felt extremely welcome. Those that worked there seemed proud of where they worked and it showed

Disliked: Nothing - only regret was it was too busy to take part in the Bingo evening sessions

Powered gravel and concrete caravan site

Liked: we been to Pencnwc many of times and have enjoyed it there, Beautiful park well kept and clean. Lots to do with in Newquay and around the area

Disliked: We cut our stay very short was booked in from Monday to Saturday on the touring pitches, But it was like begin on a ruff council estate kids running everywhere playing football and riding bikes, While mam and dad walks around the touring site getting pissed with no control over the kids. Loud up until very late at night. I know kids are kids but I did not expect this on a campsite. Funny thing was just because we didn't fit in with the rest someone decided to call security on is at am on the Wednesday morning as we was fast asleep this scared my son as he was in the awing and could hear a man outside calling us, Someone phoned security and reported us for playing loud music ! No music was playing we was asleep but my son was chatting on the phone with is friend very quietly, This put a right downer on our holiday so we left after only being there 2 days. Fair to say we are very disappointed plus the caravans each side of us was very rude towards us soon as we arrived. Also there is free WIFI to the clubhouse but not the site its self I think this is a must now as most campsites now provide WIFI.

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).
