  • 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 This was our 3rd time visiting, we love the location and the Cafe/Bar/restaurant. The new Tapas menu was amazing. Staff are very helpful and friendly.

Disliked It was a really good atmosphere on site during the peak season, however, we felt that 3 toilets and 2 showers for the whole site was inadequate for the large number of guests. It's fine for quieter seasons but not through the summer.

Liked This was our second time staying at Hendre Hall. We chose to come back because the location is just so beautiful, and it is so close to other brilliant places to see and things to do. We love that you can walk to a lovely beach from the site, we love the views of the sea across the bay to the Llyn Peninsula, we love the on site cafe and bar/ restaurant. The staff are so lovely and helpful, really helping us with our pitch request. The village of Llwyngwril is also beautiful.

Disliked The only criticism we’d make is about the toilets and showers. The campsite was very full and we didn’t feel there were enough to deal with the number of people. One of the showers in the block closest to the cafe didn’t work and the other was flooded on the floor. Everything else is spot on at the site, and we’d love to return next year, but the loo and shower situation as it stands currently would make us think twice. I think a newer and/or bigger shower block would really make this site super special.

Liked Stayed in pitch 30 with group of families.
Scenery spectacular and easy access to the beach.
Site well looked after by friendly owners and staff.
Children had freedom to play and move about and loved seeing the donkeys and goats.
Bar very good didn't dine ourselves but food looked amazing.
Local store 5 minutes walk and train station if you want to venture out.
Would definitely stay here again.

Peninsula camping pod

Liked Fabulous views - great little site with amazing scenery
Loved the donkeys
Farm shop super
Staff lovely
Sauna and views from inside fabulous treat

Disliked Not enough toilets at busy times (was bank hold weekend to be fair) and could have been cleaned more - no toilet roll for half a day in the ladies
Disappointed with restaurant- would have been great to have cooked breakfast rather than croissants and choc au pain. I guess most people cook their own though

Recommend to friends Visit again

Perhaps a better menu choice for breakfast and dinner

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.
