Penholm Reviews

Jacqueline
This property was well equipped. The welcome hamper was a very nice touch. Everyone in our party thoroughly enjoyed the games room, and made great use of the hot tub although only one jet was working. We all had a great time.
Fantastic place for a family get together the owners are thoughtful the property ... Fantastic place for a family get together the owners are thoughtful the property was as it said lovely welcome pack too Would definitely recommend
Only wish we would have booked it longer ! ! Scaled snowdon whilst there and was the perfect place to come home to . Two very minor niggles 1 mattress on top floor in front right of house as you look out mattress could be better 2 in an ideal world a cover over hot tub so it could be used in the drizzle , 23 times we got in and it began to rain so we got back out again as no cover offerred . Im pretty sure we will visit again in the future as it was perfect for all 15 of us . Many thanks for allowing us to stay at your lovely venue
Kalpana
The property and our stay were both delightful. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there and appreciated all the amenities that were provided. The thoughtful touches, such as the hamper, hand soap, and washing up liquid, that were provided upon our arrival were very helpful, as we had not considered those items. Whenever we required assistance, the management was prompt in their response, which was greatly appreciated. We did encounter a slight challenge with parking when resident cars were parked opposite the driveway, making it a bit difficult to turn in. Perhaps widening the driveway entrance could alleviate this issue. Overall, we had a wonderful time and hope to return again in the future.
Lesley
Lots of room for our family get together for my husbands 70th birthday. Plenty of toys and facilities to keep young to 70 year olds happy. Plenty of places to visit, conwy castle, steam trains, kayaking, playparks. Needed longer to appreciate this area and a nice garden to. Would definitely recommend to large families with a wide age range. Would love to return and hopefully have warmer weather, but as I said plenty to do indoors and out and about. Thank you
Really lovely house which we all felt comfortable in. Our 6 grandkids ranging from 1 to 12, loved the facilities & were never bored. Appreciated the welcome pack enjoyed by all. Sadly only one problem but we managed. Opposite the gate on the road cars were parked making it very difficult to get cars in & out. Someone pulled up opposite gate & went to the house leaving the car there all day, I pointed out to her the difficulty with cars, but she ignored me, never said anything & walked off, which I found very rude & disrespectful. We didnt let it spoil our holiday but maybe get the council to put a line on the road opposite the gate. There was masses of space on the road to park so no need to do what they did. Again our holiday was great but just felt like I needed to mention the idiots lack of common sense.
This house is absolute amazing, we had a party of 12 adults, 2 children and 2 dogs, we were there to celebrate my 60th birthday, the bedrooms here are amazing, everybody loved the cinema and games room too, they owners have thought of everything, we managed to squeeze our 5 cars on the drive too, Penmaenmawr is lovely too, great beach for the dogs too, would recommend this lovely house to anyone!
Caroline
Just come back from a wonderful week at penholm. A beautiful house situated in a picturesque village with lots of other areas in easy reach. 5 minute walk in to the village. 10 minutes of that to the beach. The house had everything we needed and more and the welcome basket was a lovely unexpected touch. Perfect week away
This is a lovely house. Bedrooms and lounges all look newly decorated. The kitchen is a little dated but perfectly acceptable but I understand from Jason, the owner, that this is to be completely overhauled shortly. The hottub was a nice touch which was very well received by our group. The house is nicely positioned about 5 minutes from the beach and, for those who don't want to drive everywhere there is a terrific bus service along the coast between Bangor and Llandudno which runs every 20 minutes or so. We would happily stay here again and can recommend it to anyone looking for a large holiday home in this area.
We had a fabulous weeks stay. 18 in the company all found it fantastic, plenty of room for everyone, pool & darts competitions what a laugh. Great comfortable beds, everyone slept well. We met the owner who could not have been more helpful. I would recommend for any large party.
Such a lovely house we went to celebrate my 60th Birthday 16 Adults & 5 children. The accomodation & cleanliness were outstanding. The views were amazing. Everything you need was available even all kitchen equipment they have thought of everything. Cinema & games room was a great added bonus plus the hottub. The village & beach is nice 15 min walk ...lovely chippy...I would definately recommend this house it is perfect for any occasion.
Plenty of room for the whole family. Beds were clean and really comfortable. Games room enjoyed by everyone. Hot tub was great fun for the children. Enough to keep everyone happy with the poor weather. Kitchen well equipped and a lovely welcome pack. Would recommend.
What a beautiful house! Everything you could possibly need was provided for. When we needed to contact the owner he replied immediately. Would 100 recommend.
One of the best houses we have stayed in
Angela
Fantastic property for familyfriends gatherings. Bedrooms all beautiful and comfortable. Kitchen has everything you need. Gamescinema room was great along with hot tub. Second time weve been and will no doubt be coming back.
Lovely house with everything needed to enjoy a great week.
Spent 7 days at Penholm and there wasnt anything lacking, everything you needed was there. Games room and cinema was a big hit with the grandchildren and mums and dads. Owners were easy to communicate with. The welcome hamper was a nice touch, would definitely go again.
Wow, what a property! My husband and I booked Penholm for a joint big birthday celebration with family and friends. There were 19 people in our group with an age range of 16 months to 71. There was something to do and somewhere to go for everyone. The rooms were spotless and the welcome pack and flowers that were left in the kitchen table were a lovely surprise. Stunning property with stunning views! Emma, the supervisor was only a quick text away if we needed to contact her. What a memorable time we had and we all absolutely loved it. Penholm, you svore 1010!
Caroline
Wonder week with friends. Everything we needed was available within the home , which was very cosy. Totally recommend
The good weather and tremendous scenery made it a great week for our experienced walking group of 12. Penholm was a great base and we were very comfortable there and the small number of glitches were rectified immediately.Well equipped accommodation and entertainment facilities second to none.
Stefan
Penholm was a lovely home for the whole group and we enjoyed it to be so close to Llandudno and Anglesey. So we could do a lot of things in a short distance. We arrived very early, but the cleaning crew was very friendly and gave us space in the living room. That was perfect after a 12 h journey. Many thanks for that.
Stacey
This was a last minute trip as our original trip got cancelled. Trying to find a property for 14 people and Penholme came up. Wow what a place. It had everything you needed. So clean and the bedrooms were beautiful. It smelt nice everywhere. The gamescinema room was a great added touch and kept everyone entertained. The owner kept in touch all week and answered any questions we had. Thank you so much, we will be back.
Gareth
We recently held our wedding at Penholm House with our nearest and dearest and it was perfect from start to finish. We held the ceremony on the roof terrace with views of the mountains and sea. It really is the most stunning property, the themed bedrooms were amazing and were to be our wet weather photography backdrops but the sun came out for us on the day & stayed for the week! We had photographs in & around the house & garden as well as at the Sychnant Pass and on the beach, the local area is beautiful. Our family & friends had a perfect week with us, there is something for everyone at Penholm, the cinema and games room were a real plus. Jason the owner was very helpful beforehand, sending us extra photos to help with planning and he also recommended an amazing local caterer. We will definitely back to celebrate future anniversaries in what has become one of our favourite places. Highly recommended.
Claire
We had a fantastic stay at Penholm House. We were a mixture of ages from 22 months up to 73 years old. The bedrooms were large and beautifully decorated. Everywhere throughout the house was lovely and clean. The cinema room and play room kept everyone entertained. I would definitely like to return to Penholm House and recommend this to all.
Beautiful holiday home. Lovely people. Thank you.
Stephen

Jonathan
Fantastic and attentive hosts. The house was everything we had imagined and much more. Already looking at our return visit
Angela
Beautiful house and had best games room weve had in previous homes. Bedrooms are all themed and very comfortable. Kitchen very well equipped and spacious. I cannot fault the house at all. Hope to be back next year!
We stayed at Penholm over New Year as a group of 17 with ages ranging from 170. The house is very big with so many different areas and a lovely choice of bedrooms. It was spotless throughout and had every amenity you could possibly need during your stay. The games room was a huge hit with children and adults alike. Jason our host was quick to respond to queries before our stay and helpful throughout. We enjoyed our stay so much that we have already booked for next year. Highly recommended.
Great holiday in a great location plenty of places to visit and excellent accommodation in this lovely big house for us . especially enjoyed the big kitchen and cinema to watch the world Cup games thanks mark
Violet
Y celebrations perfectly thank you. We would only make one comment, concerning the dining room, where 18 of us had difficulty in fitting into the space around the table. However, overall, we were absolutely delighted with the property, its location and its comfort. Thank you
Lindsay
This is a fabulous house, full of history, and it is also in a delightful position with wonderful views of the sea and surrounding mountains. It is very comfortable and well maintained, with every amenity. It is perfect for a group holiday such as ours. The owners were more than pleasant, helpful and accommodating. We had a great time!
A wonderful week enjoyed at Penholm with family. We enjoyed the space, the games room and the jacuzzi very much. Its very well equipped, had everything we needed and was in a great location.
Tremendous property in a stunning location. Everything was perfect for our visit, including the weather! Was made even more special as one of our party realised her mother once worked there when it was a factory making dolls.
Donald
Really happy with the property and its great location, such a fantastic house with many areas to relax either with your groups company or on your own. The games room provided an excellent retreat with many activities to keep the whole group occupied but also together. We also appreciated the prompt response regarding the drain on our arrival along with the advice on what is in the area etc. We would definitely stay here again.
The house catered exceptionally well for the needs of 4 generations . We all had a wonderful holiday. The hosts pay huge attention to detail to ensure your time is well spent. There is plenty to do 247whatever the weather. As an aside note for future guests Tesco and Asda deliver to the property, but I would recommend you currently dont use Tesco. They didnt turn up when supposed to on Saturday evening. With no communication from them either, order eventually turned up following afternoon with half of order missing. I wholeheartedly recommend this property in north wales.
The house was beautiful set in a scenic area . . The games room ideal for all ages There was a couple of areas that a bit of TLC...such as the garden .
A great stay for all family, will definitely look into booking in future as it was so good. Variety of things to do for all of family, only suggestion that was brought up was the garden possibly being cleaned upfresh coat of paint of outside stairs, but overall a great stay!
Alison
We had a fabulous week at Penholm.
