  • 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.

Powered grass caravan site

Liked Being near a beach. Free washing machine was a nice touch. Pub was lovely. Lovely walking distance to local village. Lovely pub in village do amazing food and very friendly. Dog friendly. Receptionist very friendly.

Disliked Not enough toilets or showers for amount of people camping / caravans. Humps on entrance to camp site are very high. So go really slowly. Entrance to site was very tight. On site pub only open till 5 pm Mon-wed. Was told told on arrival about fines for various things ie recycling misplacing in wrong bins. Fine 50.00.pounds. And that the cctv would be watching. Only a very small area for washing up one sink.

Liked A lovely small campsite with a really friendly and helpful team. Our pitch was just right and the sea views were stunning. The on-site restaurant served good food and the facilities, while simple, were clean and well maintained. A peaceful spot we’d happily return to.

Liked Lovely location, close to the beach, friendly staff, great cafe/bar that’s open all day, close to train station, nice atmosphere.

Sarah S.

Powered grass caravan site

Liked Lovely welcome from the lady in the reception / shop. Shop had lots of nice local produce to try.

Few minute walk down to a lovely beach. Donkeys on site provided lots of entertainment from the back of our van.

Short walk into the village with a nice friendly pub where me and my Son were made to feel very welcome.

Disliked Only a couple of showers which you needed to pay for, but £1 covered a long shower so no problem really.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: We're so pleased you found Hendre Hall and Llwyngwril a welcoming place Sarah. I'll pass your comments about the shower to the owners for consideration.

Had a lovely stay and enjoyed the clear nights to stargaze.

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.
