  • 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.

A tidy, welcoming spot with great sea/mountain views, near the beach & train. Good-sized pitches, friendly staff, popular on-site amenities. Some found toilets/showers limited at busy times. Recommended for location, vibe & value.

Kelly S.

Unpowered grass tent or motorhome site

Liked Unfortunately on this trip nothing, all the problems just seemed to accentuate noises. The train, the sheep on a hill. On top of everything I'm still waiting for a refund on my 2 nights and had to pay for another 2 nights in a much better site

Disliked Beware....My issues started all because I booked a different pitch one closer to the toilets. Cos I didn't wanna walk far. I called him over as i like to keep my walking minimal necessary only. Camping was always going to be challenging i normally stand maximum 2 hours a day. Im 42 and due for a knee operation at the end of the year. He didnt seem to want to come maybe he saw that as rude it wasn't i was requesting he come and talk to me about the issue it shouldn't be a problem my knee problemsor not. He said to me oh you sound I finished his sentence and said disappointed. He said no emotional. I remember you wanted to cancel last yr wasnt it the weather. Didnt respond but have the emails attached it was because my daughter was poorly and didnt want to lose out. Non refundable though. Id made a comment in passing on the weather when we turned up polite small talk thats all. As he was set on being misogynist and derogatory attitude towards me. let it pass as id been insulted to my limit! Was close to tears so i left saying id return. Then I left and went beach for 2 hrs came bk set up my tent. Sent my daughter who 2 months away from turning 9 years old to get some water and he said she can't do that has to be accompanied by an adult. So I went and asked him why did he say that. He shouldn't be speaking to any child he should go and spk to the parent. If your happy with someone addressing an issue that is minimal with your children then fine. He said I was rude to staff I said how I didn't swear didn't shout or anything. I said I just wanted the pitch I booked because of my knees he said save me the sob story. You've broken multiple park rules under 18 yr old unattended, rude to staff qualified as asking for what i paid for and driving fast if you say one more word your getting kicked off. He owns it so lose lose. I wouldn't mind bt a 5 year old just ran past me no parents with him. So because I complained my daughter must stay with me at all times everybody else can have a normal holiday very disappointing. When I'm not being threatened with being kicked off for nothing with my child late in the evening without anywhere to stay because I'm not allowed to say a word that goes against someone who's been extremely rude and nasty with me. Even if im only trying to prove for what reason I'll never no that I never once acted out of order. Nothing more nothing less and call him out on then targeting my family for no reason. I'll be complaining as much as I like. So, much so I've had to leave my holiday 3 days early and pay for another site. If the area you have booked is full mine was the motor home or tent area you'll be put in the other tent area which is much further from facilities and doesn't have a sea view has a sky and hedge view because they over subscribed that field and given drive through motorhomes priority. My previous experience last Yr was good but like my daughter said people change. I'm absolutely disgusted with the way I've been spoken too.

Powered grass caravan site

Liked Location, ease of access of A494, proximity to beach - 5 mins easy walk, lovely rocks and sand on beach. Spacious pitches, clean, friendly, good facilities.

Disliked Personally disliked nothing, possibly the train though all the kids on the site gathered to wave at them!( only 6 ish per day and not high speed) might bother some and lack of wi fi though I was fine on EE, partner couldn't on different provider. You can also pay for wi fi onsite.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks for the review, we're pleased you enjoyed your stay with us. There is free wifi around the main hall, which houses the bar, coffee shop and farm shop - the password is on the bar chalkboard - hope that helps for your next visit :-)

Beware- various speed limits en route. 1st speeding fine ever!! 26mph

Powered grass caravan site

Liked The staff who greeted us when we arrived were lovely. The shop was handy and the bar /restaurant too. All the staff who worked at Hendre Hall were nice.
On arrival we were given all the info on the strict recycling policy of the local council.
The site is in easy walking distance to the little railway station that goes all the way to Pwhelli or Birmingham the othe other way!( we had a nice day out in Barmouth - 18 minute journey).
The sunsets from Hendre Hall are gorgeous.

Disliked Toilet and shower. One toilet and shower for men and one for women plus one sauna. These were all right in front of all the customers tables sitting outside the bar. Customers also use them.
There were a couple of toilets / showers at the other end of the site but there was often a queue at these.

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.
