Plas Glan Yr Afon Reviews

Thank you for the most wonderful weekend staying in your beautiful cottage! ! Me and friends were extremely impressed with the cottage, we had a very comfortable stay and loved the decor in each bedroom & the kitchen was brilliant had everything we needed! My own criticism would be the lack of outdoor lighting near the hot tub where in late evening now it is darker we struggled with seeing where we were going. Apart from this, we had a fabulous time and will recommend this accommodation to friends and family

Beautiful conversion, every family member absolutely loved this property. Very well finished, very clean, very cosy and the hot tub was a real delight whilst it was pouring rain. Very friendly welcome from Eirian the owner.

We had the best stay ever! The house was gorgeous as shown on the pictures and so spacious for 10 people. We went as a group of 9 and would recommend this property to everyone, the host was also very helpful and on hand if we needed anything. We will be back!

Rachel

A stunning, luxurious farmhouse with all amenities. Most definitely would book again. Central for daytrips and amazing country views

Not only beautiful in situ and decor but this house is fully equipped for evenings in! There wasnt anything that we needed that wasnt there. The host was lovely and on hand for local advice. We were a mixed aged party and had the most amazing week mainly because this property was so comfortably liveable. We will definitely be going back.

Harvey

Excellent property, has everything you need for a short stay. Only problem was the hot tub wasnt hot enough to be used on the first night but the owner sorted this out by the second night and was really helpful. Would definitely stay again!

Gillian

Lovely house, very clean and comfortable. Loved the hot tub.

Jacqueline

Was great to stay at a working farmhouse. As a family of 7 with grandparents and grandchildren we all thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Bigger and better than the photo's. Very clean, modern and a beautiful farmhouse. Must admit it is in the middle of nowhere but we enjoyed the peace and quiet and had the car to travel about. Beware of the country roads. All in all a great stay, would stay here again.

Sylvia

The hot tub could have been cleaned more often.

Just returned two weeks ago with family from America where we had the most fantastic week in this stunning converted farmhouse in the heart of North Wales. It is a true gem and blends modern luxury with classic charm. The exterior has breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside and a beautiful hottub which some of us used to unwind after a day exploring North Wales. The interior has been meticulously designed and offers both elegance and comfort with spacious and sunlit rooms that are adorned with beautiful furnishings and exceptionally highquality finishes. The kitchen is a chef's dream, equipped with huge appliances and ample space for socialising while cooking. The house is located in an ideal spot for exploring the beautiful towns of Conway, Llandudno, Caernarfon and many more, as well as close to Snowdonia National Park and Mount Snowden. Would love to stay here and visit again, thank you for this beautiful property. We created memories to last a lifetime. Thank You.

Beautiful house set in a stunning location. The house is spacious, decorated to a very high standard and immaculate. The stairs are steep to the third floor bedrooms but all the bedrooms are comfortable and relaxing. The house is well equipped, the hot tub is in a perfect location with views across the valley. Highly recommended!

Stephanie

This gorgeous home exceeded all of mine and my groups expectations, it was truly stunning! The host was friendly and welcoming and had thought of every detail of the home so beautifully The weather we had during our stay was wonderful and the sun was on the garden patio the whole day and well into the evening, we even saw the Northern Lights from the beauty of the tranquil garden in hot tub The family who live next door I hope we did not disturb too much as we was celebrating an occasion during our stay We loved it and would definitely book again

Highly Recommended place to stay. Lovely and clean converted farmhouse with everything you need and more. Beds comfortable and plenty of space. Can't wait to go back.

What a stunning property. Thank you so much to the Jones family for your warm welcome and hospitality. This barn is truly amazing, absolutely stunning renovation.The pictures do not do it justice. We have just returned after celebrating a family birthday, we were a party of 9 and the set up and space of the property was perfect. All rooms are beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The cottage was well equipped through out, home from home. The views from the property made it more relaxing especially when enjoying the hot tub. We will definitely be returning, I can not recommend this property enough. Thank you again, Leah & family.

Our stay at Plas Glan Yr Afon was to celebrate my recent retirement with our family. We had a very warm welcome on arrival and a tour of the house with extra information for eating and visiting etc. The cottage was absolutely beautiful and really clean. The hot tub was amazing. Shame the weather was not the best but it didn't stop us having an amazing week and enjoying the cottage to the full, the children loved it and enjoyed the table top football immensely. Thanks for a great stay at your beautiful cottage.

Alison

We have had a great weekend. Fabulous property for socialising, the kitchen, dining area and living area is a great space, very comfortable. Beds were also comfy. Eirian was a great host we had a lovely time thank you.

Wow!! This place is amazing ! Thank you so much to the kind owners who were on hand with anything we needed. Location is stunning and the property has been finished to such a high standard. All of the bedrooms are individual and interesting. Beds were so comfortable and it was lovely having so many en suites as we had 8 people staying. Very well equipped, we didn't leave the property for the whole time we stayed as everything we needed was there. Beautiful views, we will definitely book again!

Christopher

The pictures don't do this place justice. It is absolutely beautiful in an incredible location. The way they've blended the 16th century farmhouse with the modern decorating is lovely. The hot tub by the flowing river in the winter months is a great touch. A really special place for our 10 person family to spend Christmas. Will definitely return.

Sophia

We received a lovely welcome from Eirian The house is beautiful and tastefully decorated. It was interesting hearing and seeing the development of the property. The views that surround you are incredible, and its very peaceful. The bedrooms are all equally beautiful, so you wont need to fight over who gets which one. There is one bedroom up some steep stairs, so bear that in mind if youre planning to use all 5 bedrooms and are less mobile Would definitely recommend & return. Thanks!

Michael

Stayed for a week with friends in September. Really lovely hosts! Very helpful when we had car troubles on our last day thank you! The house was beautiful with lots to do in the area would definitely book again

We absolutely loved our stay! We had a brilliant time. The house is equipped with everything you can think of, very clean and the host is brilliant and so caring. We are planning on booking again as soon as we can! Highly recommend!!

Sara-jane

Thank you so much for renting to us this fabulous, well located, clean, comfortable, spacious and luxurious house. We had such a wonderful time with all the comforts that we could have wanted. The owner of the property was at hand should we have needed them and the warm welcome we received was really lovely. We combined families for our break and to sit at the large openplan kitchen table having our meals together and playing cards was really something wonderful. We will be booking again such a treat of a place, Loved it and didn't want to leave !!

Barbara

Beautiful location. Plenty of room to spread out in the farmhouse. Hot tub was great and enjoyed by all of us. Host was more than helpful and very welcoming. Plenty of things to do in the surrounding area. Definitely need a car though. Somewhere I would think of going back to.

Alexander

Excellent accommodation. The garden is stunning. We would definitely come back again.

A beautiful blend between old and new! We had the most fabulous holiday at Plas Glan yr Afon for my husband's 40th Birthday. The accommodation was so beautiful and had everything we needed. The owner Eirian was so accommodating and helpful with any questions we had during our stay and was great to recommend places to go. Our children absolutely loved the window in the floor that you could look through to the lower floor. Every detail in the refurbishment of this gorgeous old barn has been thought of, blending seamlessly the old and the new features. We would highly recommend to anyone.

So good we have booked again.

We had the best time, we loved the design of all the rooms, each with its own individual style and it was the perfect size for 8 people. It was spacious and super comfortable with lots of seating options to relax, eat and chat, loved the fire place and hot tub with its beautiful views, all perfect for spending quality time with fried sand family. The showers and bath were all amazing and the kitchen had everything we needed. The host was very friendly and attentive. The WiFi wasnt that great but other than that it was fantastic vacation and wished we could have stayed longer but we will definitely be back.

Darryl

Lovely cottage in a remote location, finished to a really high standard. My family enjoyed a great bank holiday weekend stay. For those considering working while on the break, the wifi is via Vodafone hotspot but got a steady 40mbps during our stay, so no issues there. The TV is also sat in a media wall, so no scope to plug in consoles should the children fancy playing video games. The stairs to 2 of the bedrooms are very step, so worth considering for those with mobility issues. Overall, a brilliant stay, our host was lovely and we would return.

Simona

Its a beautiful newly refurbished and well equipped converted barn on a working farm, it is a good size and easily accommodated 2 families with enough space and two large living areas. It has lovely views. The owners are friendly and helpful. We spent Easter week here and had a great time, everything is within 20 minutes driving distance so you can enjoy some of the busier villages and attractions as well as the peace and quiet of the location and more remote walking areas. There are two pubs within short drive, one we walked to through fields. We would definitely consider coming back again.

Victoria

A wonderful stay in a wonderful cottage! Ten of us stayed in this fantastic, converted building in beautiful surroundings. It is spacious enough for ten, yet feels cosy and warm with lovely underfloor heating downstairs and a huge hearth with log burner in the main living space there are more, big cosy sofas downstairs than in the current pictures. The whole space is beautifully decorated and comfortably furnished, with thoughtful nods to the buildings history. The place is well equipped and what's not to like about a hot tub overlooking the river and hills! A great location just a few miles from the A55, superb for exploring North Wales and with more local walks over public footpaths. We found this cottage at the last minute on Sykes and I cannot rate it highly enough its a beautiful place to stay, either as a base for more exploring or a relaxing time with family and friends. Wonderful.
