Hendra Holiday Park

View prices & book Last booked 4 hours ago 9.7 14 reviews

Family-friendly park two miles from the Newquay seafront
On 80 acres of parkland in the Cornwall countryside
Pool complex, four eateries, play areas and an entertainment venue

If you're taking the family to Cornwall, you should find that Hendra Holiday Park is a mightily handy base. Spread across 80 acres of parkland two miles from the Newquay seafront, the family-owned park is very much family-friendly. Surrounded by the Cornwall countryside, it's also within 10 minutes' drive of a handful of beaches should you want to spend the day on the sand or surfing. Fistral beach, 10 minutes' drive away, is especially handy for the latter. On site, the aforementioned family-friendly facilities begin with the Oasis Fun Pools complex which has three flumes (yes, three) and an outdoor pool. At mealtimes, there are four on-site eateries to choose from. There's also an entertainment venue, a ninja assault course and an adventure golf course where kids can let off any remaining steam. Indoor soft play and outdoor playgrounds add to the list of family activities.

Tracie E. Sept 2024

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Site was fantastic, well kept, clean, spacious pitches.

Disliked: Amount of dogs off lead and running around.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your 10/10. We are so pleased that you liked the Park and pitches. Sorry that you found there were too many dogs off leads: dogs should be kept on leads on the Park, and this is something which Wardens and staff try to police and is in our terms and conditions, and usually this is adhered too. We appreciate your feedback and will look out of this. We can’t wait to see you again soon.

A beautiful and quite site. Enjoy the entertainment at night and food…

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Loved this site, the facilities was great, my children loved the train ride with Henry. Shower and toilet facilities was good, the showers was nice and warm.

Disliked: We was on a slope, which made our time abit stressful, as everything kept rolling, my children kept falling off their chairs.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your top rating. It is great that your children loved the train and our resident hippos, Henry and Henrietta; they will be so happy to hear this! We are pleased that you liked the shower facilities too. We are sorry that the pitch location wasn’t ideal. We would have tried to move you if you had said and there was availability. If you do come again, which we hope you do, we could place you on a more suitable pitch.

John B. Aug 2024

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Great pitches, great facilities, first class entertainment, lots of staff around so the site is really clean and tidy and no long waits at the bar or restaurant. Great location to get out and explore.

Disliked: Some of the rules are a bit OTT, for example no balls in the outdoor pool, even small soft balls, something to do with a risk assessment 🤷

Phone signal is poor and the Wifi isn’t great, not a problem for us as we we’re happy to put our phones away for the week but some may find it annoying

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your great review. We are glad that you liked the pitches, entertainment, cleanliness and location. We will pass on your comments about the pool rules and are always keen to make sure the balance of safety and fun is right. We hope you will stay again.

Local attractions

With so much to do on site, you may find it hard to prise yourself out of Hendra’s landscaped country setting, but busy Newquay is only minutes away. Aside from its renowned beaches and surf, the town has a zoo and aquarium, great golf courses, horse riding, sailing and watersports, plus eateries of every flavour, and plenty of retail therapy if needed. On the outskirts of Newquay, Dairyland Farm World and the Lappa Valley Steam Railway are perfect for kids and big kids alike; and if you travel a bit further, you’ll find some of Cornwall’s most popular tourist haunts, such as the Eden Project, the Tate Gallery at St. Ives, St Michael’s Mount, the Lost Gardens of Heligan, Land's End and the National Maritime Museum.
