  • 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.

Cwt Gwril camping pod

Liked: Excellent small and quiet site with beautiful sea views and great for sunsets, good access to the beach for walks, mainly rocky but some good patches of sand at low tide. Travelled by motorcycle and felt a safe and secure place to leave it. Glamping pod accommodation was great, very well maintained, clean, warm, spacious and modern, There is also good shelter for tents and very minimal occasional noise from the adjacent railway line, only 2 small trains per couple of hours during the day only. Railway is a great rebuke option if not wanting to drive or have an evening out in Barmouth or further afield. Station is only a short walk from the site, approx 5- 10 min walk. Overall a very friendly welcome at the reception/ shop and in the coffee shop which offers great pizzas and drinks on a Friday and Saturday night at very reasonable prices with a great atmosphere. Would definitely recommend for a quiet holiday with great scenery and a friendly welcome. Toilet and shower facilities basic but very clean and shower warm and very clean.

Disliked: Minor downsides were no heating in the toilet / shower facilities and no hot water tap at the wash basin.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked: Hendre Hall is a real gem, the house is gorgeous and the site is impeccably kept. We got a friendly welcome and advice were to park for the best view. We wanted somewhere where we didn’t have to drive once we got to the site, and Hendre Hall was perfect the beach is 10 minutes walk, and the same for the village of Llwyngwril , which has a shop and a pub, and is very cute. The site also has a lovely bar and provides food too. There is a shop but we didn’t use it. We will be back with the grandkids soon, the mini goats and donkeys along with a huge playground next door ( not part of the site) make it a winner!

Disliked: The new showers are a little snug!

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked: The position. The friendly and helpful welcome. Cafe/pub. Access to the beach.

Disliked: Toilet/shower blocks are basic for the pitch fee with additional cost to use the showers.
It was quiet when we were there, so not a problem, but if all cabins and pitches had been in use, there are not an adequate number.

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.
