  • 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.

Liked Staff were brilliant. Polite and couldn't help enough with any problems. Location was fantastic. Near the sea and train station to nearby towns easily accessible. The hall itself was great in respect of food. And drink. Locals also super friendly. Grandson had a fantastic time with other children.

Disliked All minor things really. Pitch not level but easily fixable with levelling tools. Toilets on the camping side were limited (two male and two female) and lacked any hot water but those behind the actual Hall did have hot water but again very basic. Showers very basic which needed 20p for and didn't last long.

Liked Loved the friendliness of all who work there. Site is so clean. Views amazing. Recycling taken seriously. Costs do little for so much. Some site's cost way to much, but Hendre Hall is so reasonable.

Disliked Found it a bit hard to get in touch, tried e.mail, mobile, and landlines, but eventually got through.

Liked As a regular visitor we absolutely love the location and closeness to the sea. Nearby train station lets you get to Barmouth and other towns for a day trip. Breakfast at the bar is a must have, not to mention a refreshing pint of Purple Moose in the evening.
Can’t wait to try the main course next time and have a relaxing session in the sauna.
Thank you for making our stay amazing.
Can’t wait to come back again.

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.
