Celtic Holiday Parks, Pembrokeshire in administration as buyer sought
A buyer is now being sought for Celtic Holiday Parks, which operates luxury sites in the south of the county.
The sites at Noble Court Holiday Park, Narberth and Meadow House Holiday Park, Amroth will continue to trade as normal, with employees retained, the administrators have stated.
Celtic Holiday Parks was set up in 2003, with Huw Pendleton as the managing director of the family business since that time.
Recent years have seen investment of around £6m across Celtic Holiday Parks, which offer a range of top-quality accommodation including static caravans, luxury lodges and glamping options with touring and tenting pitches, as well as leisure facilities.

In 2020, the company received a six-figure loan from HSBC to fund an additional 54 holiday homes across the sites. This was secured as a part of the Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme [CBLIS].
In 2022, Mr Pendleton received an award for 'outstanding contribution to the UK tourism industry' and accolades for Celtic Holiday Parks have included 'best caravan and camping parks in Pembrokeshire' and 'luxry accommodation provider of the year South Wales'.

A spokesperson for the joint administrators at Grant Thornton UK said: 'Alistair Wardell and Richard Lewis of Grant Thornton UK Advisory & Tax LLP, 3 Callaghan Square, Cardiff CF10 5BT were appointed as joint administrators of Celtic Holiday Parks Limited (the Company) on 27 May 2025.
'The joint administrators are continuing to trade the Company's business whilst a buyer is sought, and the Company's employees have been retained to support this strategy.

'We confirm that, unless customers are contacted and advised otherwise, their bookings will go ahead and access to the parks will continue as normal for owners of caravans and lodges.
'Should you be interested in acquiring the Company's business and assets, please contact the joint administrators' team.'
The Western Telegraph has contacted Celtic Holiday Parks for a comment.
