The Coach House at Plas Dolguog | Stunning UK Hot Tub Break

About The Coach House at Plas Dolguog

The Coach House at Plas Dolguog is the perfect rural retreat for families or friends seeking an escape to the breath-taking Welsh countryside, nestled on the outskirts of the historic town of Machynlleth in Powys. Well-positioned near the Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park, this five-bed home features a pet-friendly garden with private hot tub, a stylish interior, and an elevated position, perfect for appreciating the Welsh landscape.

Park up and ascend the external steps, reaching the enclosed, multi-level garden, a haven for basking in the sunshine, dining alfresco and unwinding in the hot tub, perfectly positioned to take in the beautiful scenes of the county. Step inside this split-level home-from-home and be welcomed by the open-plan living space, the heart of the home, where you can prepare meals in the fully-equipped kitchen, gather around the ten-seater dining table, and unwind upon the plush corner sofa with the woodburning stove in sight; while the night away with the Smart TV for entertainment, or watch the sun set from one of the two private balconies or the verandah.

When you're ready to retire, five inviting bedrooms await; choose from a king-size, a ground-floor king-size with en-suite, two ground-floor doubles, and a ground-floor twin, all serviced by a spacious bathroom. Start your day with a fresh coffee in the conservatory, mapping out your upcoming adventures, before discovering the historic town of Machynlleth and the story of Owain Glyndwr, set in the Dyfi Valley, rich in culture, with several independent shops, farmers markets, cafÃ©s, and pubs.

If you're looking to explore further, why not take a drive to the nearby town of Dolgellau and see the birthplace of the Welsh gold rush, or join the New Precipice Walk / Llwybr Llanelltyd trail. The seaside town of Aberystwyth meanwhile can be reached by car, bus or train, where you can take a stroll down the Victorian Pier and view the stunning Cardigan Bay coastline in all its glory, from atop Constitution Hill and its electric cliff railway.

The Coach House at Plas Dolguog Reviews

I have corresponded with the owner over the poor cleaning preparation of the property and the poor statestandard of kitchen equipment. It shows a lack of attention to detail which the owner says will be addressed. The garden was not dog secure as claimed. The potential is great as was the hottub. For the price I paid I was disappointed, it could be so good! but all felt a bit tired. However the area is great and the weather was fine.

The house was exactly as advertised. We had a lovely family celebration, cozy and comfortable stay, shops closeby, in the middle of stunningl Welsh countryside.

Estelle

First the good. .. In the countryside, lots of wildlife yet close to town and amenities. Enclosed garden for dogs We loved the covered balcony and hot tub with a mountain and sunset view. The not so good... Despite feedback from previous guests the issues continue. The worst equipped kitchen I've stayed in. Tins dirty and rusty, no bowls, no jugs I could go on. We had to buy our own equipment to cook a roast. The Coach house is not clean, bedding found to be stained, objects under sofa Deep clean clean required. Water leak in utilityconservatory with associate odour and flies. The TV is not smart. It's very close to the hotel which didn't bother us. What I find astonishing is the owners had now had consistent poor quality feedback, and have not taken action or worse perhaps lied ? Most of the issues could be solved in a short amount of time with small financial input. Having said the above we enjoyed our stay. But standards need to rise soiled bedding is Not ok!!

Darren

All the family really enjoyed our stay . The owner is amazing .

Samuel

We had a lovely family holiday with 810 adults and a baby, age ranges 1 and a half to nearly 70 years old. The communal area in the house is great very social. The large dining table is great for big family meals. The hot tub is a fantastic addition, particularly given the affordable price of the coach house cheaper than elsewhere. There is a lovely space on the terrace to sit out in the garden for meals. The house does have its quirks. The bathroom window opens to the conservatory and the house it faces the hotel on one side. The other side feels very private though and the bedrooms are cool and comfortable, facing the river lovely sounds of babbling water. Steph, the owner, was fantastic on our stay. There were a few issues but she gave her all to help us out. She and her family bought the hotel and house last year and are still working out what needs to be done and improved she is worth talking to if any doubts or concerns.

Philip

The level of cleanliness was poor beyond the basics of clean bedding and bathrooms. Cobwebs with woodlice in at kitchen windows, dirty external windows,a cigarette packet down the sofa, filthy floors when was the sofa last vacuumed or the floor beneath it swept? Lacked even the basics only 6 mugs and wineglasses for a 10 person accommodation and no large serving dishes, a broom head but no long handle, taps on the bath that don't work only shower head operational, broken drawers in the fridge, a blackout blind that only pulls up on one side, intermittent wi fi and none at all for the last 2 days of our stay. Paddle stairs were mentioned but no indication of their steepness or that there was door Privacy to the upstairs bedroom. No mention that the ground floor was a worshop laundry, although this didn't impact us particularly, or that the building was so close to the main guest house. Our impression was that it was more remote saying it was on the Plas Duluog Estate doesn't tell you that there are lodges etc. Having said all that, the views were great and the beds comfy.

Natalie

The cleanliness, comfort and the maintenance and facilities were all extremely poor. I have discussed all this with Steph .

Judith

Gorgeous property in a beautiful location with fantastic views, would definitely stay here again. Very spacious and comfortable, and dog friendly. The agency responded quickly when there was an issue with the shower not draining and sent someone to fix it promptly. The only negatives were that the WiFi was rubbish, which made it difficult for members of our group who needed to take work calls, and the gas hob didn't work very well and could only be lit with a match.

We had an absolutely amazing holiday in the Coach House. Tom and Stephanie were so welcoming and the welcome basket was a lovely touch. The house was well equipped and we all slept soundly in the wonderfully comfy beds. The hot tub was ready to use on our arrival and was available the entirety of our stay which was handy after a day of climbing the stunning views surrounding the property. Our 3 furry companions also loved their stay and the garden was fully enclosed and well maintained. Can not rate this wonderful property highly enough and we will definitely be visiting again! Thanks for having us x
