Plas Amherst Reviews

Nathalie
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
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.
