Plas Amherst Reviews

McCann's And Fowlers
All ten adults and two dogs had a lovely stay! Beautiful house with amazing views!
Powell/O'Keele Family
Thank you from us all, young and old, Our welcome was a lovely touch too. The house is beautiful and was such a lovely place to spend new year, from the ages of 16 70 you catered for us all, even the dog! The pool room was a big hit with the teen! If only the weather could have been better we would of had it all haha xx
We recently stayed at Plas Amherst for 3 nights and it was nothing short of spectacular. It has everything you need and is so spacious with spectacular views from almost every room. The kitchen is large and wellequipped and the underfloor heating is amazing. The hosts were incredibly accommodating, responsive, and ensured our stay was seamless from start to finish. we cant recommend it enough! 55 Stars!

Three small gripes 1 no starter log package provided. 2 The round handles on the doors are difficult to turn for ladies older persons perhaps levers would be better This has caused the inside handle screws on the downstairs loo to be loosen. 3 The front door could do with a pull handle on the inside door difficult to open from the inside
We had the most wonderful stay at Plas Amherst over Christmas and the owners were very helpful prior to our stay answering our questions and during our stay when we had an issue. The house itself is very grand with big open rooms and the most amazing views when it wasn't foggy!. It is tastefully decorated, spotlessly clean and you can tell it had been recently refurbished. The kitchen was huge and spacious, the lounge had a wall mounted tv where you could log in to your own TV apps and very comfy sofas. The highlight for my 2 sons was the hot tub which we all enjoyed using during our week there, as well as the pool table in the games room. Bedrooms all had ensuites which were lovely although we did have a problem with one shower and the water temp. Someone came out as soon as I notified the owner and fixed the water temp but unfortunately the shower had a fault and couldn't be fixed. The only things that I would recommend changingadding to enhance the property would be More knives in the kitchen, including a bread knife For the 3 existing knives to be sharpened A few more smaller cooking bowlsdishes A sieve Luxury soap in bathrooms not cheap soap Plush bath sheets rather than cheap thin small bath towels. Overall though we had a fantastic family holiday and would highly recommend

The house itself and views were absolutely stunning but the interior of the house felt a little bit unfinished comfortwise a few extra finishing touches would have made it absolutely exceptional. For example, there werent some pieces of kitchen equipment you would usually expect, such as a pair of scissors, a bread knife or a cafetire. We also had to request a pair of oven gloves as there werent any there. It would have benefitted from a few more baking trays and pots and pans, particularly given the number of guests the property could potentially cater for. It would also have been helpful to have had some spare toilet rolls and dishwasher tablets available, as guests may not necessarily think to bring these on holiday! There were also a few housekeeping issues one of the toilet seats was broken, the lights in the games room often went too dim to be able to actually play pool at night and we found a broken glass just underneath one of the couches. All in all the house is beautiful and we would still return in future, but these little additional touches would make the property outstanding and in keeping with the highend location.
Very enjoyable holiday. Just one or two extras would have helped like a mirrors in the bedrooms and towel rail in bathrooms especially the cloakroom downstairs also the door knob in cloakroom we got stuck in it more than once . Beautiful house the views were marvellous and the sunsets were to dye for
The Montford Family
Thank you for such a wonderful stay in this beautiful property! Harlech is so special to our family, so having panoramic views of it's beach has been perfect. We can't wait to return to make even more unforgettable memories very soon!
Fantastic house with beautiful views! Thank you for a lovely week away.
Pamela
Well equipped and large property, perfect for large families. There is a great space for kids and dog to play outside safely and the view is gorgeous. We did have a power cut which meant kids and baby couldnt have lunch or bottle, but this could happen anywhere, it did take 5hrs to fix which i feel couldve been improved, Menai were difficult to get through to. There was no stairgate for my toddler even though I had requested one, and the hot tub was too cold to use on the first night. Small issues though, not complaints. Would stay again as was comfortable and large property.
