  We’re a family of 10 that played in Plas Gwynfryn on from the 8th to 15th September!

  We had an amazing time both in the house and the local area! There’s so much to do in the house! So much space to entertain yourselves, and hidden areas if you want 5 minutes to yourself. The kitchen is well stocked, it has everything you could possible need for baking, cooking and preparing! HEADS UP! THE AGA IS ALWAYS ON AND HOT! If you’re in the bedroom above the kitchen it does get very warm in there. The bathrooms were all clean and to a high standard, the beds aren’t the most comfortable mattresses in the world, they’re quite soft! The grounds the house sits on are beautiful, again so many hidden features, we didn’t find the pond until the third day. The lawns are perfect for outdoor family games, we played king cub for hours it was amazing! If you’re into spooky stuff, this is definitely a great house to go to, certain bumps, bangs and scuffs that can’t be explained most certainly happened. Things seem to be in a different place to where you remember leaving them. We had a few friends along the way, spiders and mice came to say hello a few times but this wasn’t a major problem and is expected with grounds like the ones that surround Plas Gwynfryn! Outings: we’d recommend a trip to the waterfalls about 5/10 minute drive away, do the blue walk and see the sights it’s beautiful, catch the train up snowdon (or walk if you’re able). One of the best roast dinners we’ve eaten was at Hafan Artro! Take a drive to Porthmadog - they have a great escape room if that’s your thing! Final note is to Caroline, the manager who looks after the house, she’s wonderful, no problem or question to big, she’s always on hand to rush in and save the day and help anyway she can!

  We had the most amazing family holiday in the most beautiful house and gardens.

  It was the first time we had all been together since 2019 and there were 12 of us, all different ages and from Liverpool, Kent, Wolverhampton and Ireland. The house is beautifully furnished and feels peaceful and homely. One of my teenage grandson's said that he really liked the feeling of space both inside the house and in the garden, a feeling which we all appreciated as you can always find a space to escape to if needed. We are a family which loves to cook and were delighted with the kitchen which is very well laid out and equipped to cater for large groups. (It is always disappointing to arrive at a cottage to find milk pan sized saucepans!). One small point to note - it would be good to put in the summary that there is a full sized fridge and a handy undercounter freezer as this would have helped us in planning what to take. The views from the house are absolutely stunning. The gardens are magnificent, beautifully maintained and can be enjoyed from the veranda even on rainy days.. Caroline the owner is on hand if you need her and nothing is too much trouble. Thank you Caroline. And on a final note it is the perfect house for a game of hide and seek!

  We had an absolutely fantastic time at Plas Gwynfryn.

  It was the perfect size for the whole family (13 of us - with ranging ages from 25 - 82) to relax and not feel overcrowded. We booked it to celebrate my dad's 60th birthday which was a surprise (he was so overwhelmed by everyone being there and in a such amazing setting). The house felt really comfortable and homely, you can tell that a lot of time and care has been put into the upkeep. There we're lots of nice little touches, logs and kindling to use for the log burners, sky tv, and a it was very kind of the hosts to provide us with some provisions. The grounds are stunning, we enjoyed exploring them and the location is perfect, surrounded by mountains and not far (walking distance) from shops and a pub. We received a warm welcome from Christine and Paddy who really took the time to show us around. Caroline was also fantastic, always just a text away and was very helpful. The whole family had a such great weekend, we just wish we could have stayed longer! Thanks again to Caroline, Christine and Paddy :)

  Plas Gwynfryn is a fabulous spacious property with loads of character and huge well kept grounds.

  Caroline the owner was very helpful and responsive. We did have an issue when an appliance broke down but Caroline was quickly on hand and provided an alternative to stop the holiday being spoiled. The house is very tastefully and period correctly decorated with good quality fitments. The only minor quibble was the sofas in the main lounge were very saggy and could have done with a good servicing. The kitchen was really well equipped with lots of utensils and cutlery. This is something I have had issue with at other large properties but not here. Beware that a security deposit is required directly to the owner rather than a hold on your credit card via Booking.com (despite booking.com sending me email opposite to this, this is a booking.com issue rather than with the owner). There was a large party of us plus a big dog and we never felt cramped. The grounds were just superb for the kids (and the big kids) to play in. Overall very happy to recommend this property.

  We loved this house, it was in a beautiful rural location which was great for exploring despite the awful weather and was within a very close proximity to the gorgeous town of Conwy, which we enjoyed.

  The house was very spacious and full of character with lots of receptions rooms for people to have quiet time if they wanted. The bedrooms were well made up and very clean. Only very minor feedback would be that a full size dishwasher would have been better as the house is advertised for up to 20 guests so a half size dishwasher is not appropriate for this number of dishes. Also a few more pans of varying sizes would also have come in useful. Lastly, we stayed over Christmas so would have been more magical if the house was made to look a little more festive, as there was just one small rather sad looking tree in the main living room with no other decorations anywhere in the house. This is just a nice to have though, not a necessity and didn’t spoil our amazing Christmas. We really did enjoy the house and the area and thoroughly enjoyed our Christmas, so thank you so much for the opportunity to use your beautiful house for our special family get together!!!!!
