Ty Mawr Holiday Park Review (North Wales)

Ty Mawr Holiday Park

We stayed at Parkdean Ty Mawr Holiday Park in Towyn, North Wales, during an early Easter break while visiting the nearby forests around Llyn Geirionydd and exploring the North Wales coast.

This Ty Mawr Holiday Park review is based on our stay as a family, and it turned out to be a great-value base with plenty of activities for families, good transport links, and easy access to places like Llandudno and the Great Orme.

Our Ty Mawr Lodge Review

We stayed in a Knightly Lodge which was very spacious and well equipped, with an entrance hall, two bathrooms, a washing machine, and a wraparound balcony.

As part of our Ty Mawr lodge review, we found the lodge to be one of the highlights of the stay, especially being located on the edge of the park which made it quieter than the central areas.

Ty Mawr has a mix of caravans, lodges, and a touring area with electric hook-up pitches.

Ty Mawr Holiday Park Facilities

The Ty Mawr Holiday Park facilities include a wide range of activities such as high ropes, archery, survival-style courses, buggy rides, football pitches, craft workshops, and a large indoor swimming pool with slides.

Food and Drink

Ty Mawr has a good range of food options on site including a restaurant and bar in the clubhouse, a chip shop, ice cream stand, and a supermarket for essentials. We ate in the restaurant a couple of times and the food was good and reasonably priced. The on-site shop was also very useful for breakfasts and snacks, meaning you could easily stay on site for most of your break if you wanted to.

Things To Do Nearby

Ty Mawr is well located for exploring the North Wales coast. During our stay we visited Llandudno and rode the Great Orme Tramway, which the boys loved. Towyn beach is within walking distance, and the bus stop outside the park connects to nearby coastal resorts along the bay.

Walk to Towyn Beach from Ty Mawr

One of the best things about Ty Mawr is the easy walk to Towyn beach from the park. It’s a straightforward walk and doesn’t take long, making it ideal for families or anyone who prefers not to drive everywhere.

This Ty Mawr beach walk was one of our favourite parts of the stay, especially as it meant we could quickly get to the seafront without worrying about parking.

Getting there and Map

Getting There

Ty Mawr Holiday Park is easiest to reach by car via the A55 North Wales Expressway, then follow signs for Towyn.

If travelling by train, the nearest station is Abergele & Pensarn, about 1–2 miles from the park, which is a short taxi ride or a longer walk. Rhyl station is also nearby with more frequent trains.

There is a bus stop very close to the park entrance with regular buses running along the North Wales coast between Rhyl, Towyn, Abergele, Colwyn Bay and Llandudno, which makes it possible to get around without a car.

Our Thoughts

Ty Mawr felt like a great-value alternative to somewhere like Center Parcs, with lots of activities for children but at a much lower price. The bus stop outside the park was very useful, and the location makes it a good base for exploring Llandudno, the Great Orme, and the wider North Wales coast. We would definitely return, especially for off-peak lodge stays.
