"We had the most amazing family holiday in the most beautiful house and gardens."
It was the first time we had all been together since 2019 and there were 12 of us, all different ages and from Liverpool, Kent, Wolverhampton and Ireland. The house is beautifully furnished and feels peaceful and homely. One of my teenage grandson's said that he really liked the feeling of space both inside the house and in the garden, a feeling which we all appreciated as you can always find a space to escape to if needed. We are a family which loves to cook and were delighted with the kitchen which is very well laid out and equipped to cater for large groups. (It is always disappointing to arrive at a cottage to find milk pan sized saucepans!). One small point to note - it would be good to put in the summary that there is a full sized fridge and a handy undercounter freezer as this would have helped us in planning what to take.
The views from the house are absolutely stunning. The gardens are magnificent, beautifully maintained and can be enjoyed from the veranda even on rainy days.. Caroline the owner is on hand if you need her and nothing is too much trouble. Thank you Caroline.
And on a final note it is the perfect house for a game of hide and seek!

"Bedroom with ensuite (next to east corner - but not east corner), the shower levers are a little loose and stiff."
Also feels like if too much force is applied the whole unit will break off.

"We had a wonderful family time at the beautiful Plas Gwynfryn."
The property was perfect for a large mixed aged family. Lots of space and most of the bedrooms were equipped with super en-suites. The beds were very comfortable and the bedding of excellent quality.
The absolute bonus for us was the magnificent extended gardens, a total joy for our 7 Grandchildren to explore and be safe in, having endless adventures!
All shops, pubs and restaurants were within easy access. Needless to say all the surrounding beaches were a joy for us all, so varied and something for everyone.
Caroline, the owner was on hand at all time with any enquiries.
We certainly had a very happy memorable time at a special property in a glorious corner of beautiful North Wales Coast.

"An extremely distinctive property and ideal for our family gathering."
Described by one of our party as something like the property in Cluedo, and universally requested to be the location for the next time we are all able to be together. A particular bonus was the location which well suited anyone that enjoys coast and countryside.

Photos do not do the house justice. More options on twin bedded rooms would give greater flexibility. We had a great week, really enjoyed it.

"We really enjoyed our extended family holiday and a 90th Birthday celebration at Plas Gwynfryn."
The kids particularly loved the large house and extensive gardens as did we all. The area is wonderful and the staff and owner were very friendly and helpful. For a large group, such as ours, it was also very reasonably priced.

"Wonderful house in a beautiful location."
Spacious rooms and plenty of communal areas for our extended family (and dog) to enjoy. The kitchen was well equipped and we were able to self cater for our Christmas week very comfortably.
The owner Caroline was attentive and helpful.
The Wi-fi signal struggled a bit, but for us that was not a big issue.
We’d thoroughly recommend this house for a group of friends or large family.

"We had an absolutely fantastic time at Plas Gwynfryn."
It was the perfect size for the whole family (13 of us - with ranging ages from 25 - 82) to relax and not feel overcrowded. We booked it to celebrate my dad's 60th birthday which was a surprise (he was so overwhelmed by everyone being there and in a such amazing setting). The house felt really comfortable and homely, you can tell that a lot of time and care has been put into the upkeep. There we're lots of nice little touches, logs and kindling to use for the log burners, sky tv, and a it was very kind of the hosts to provide us with some provisions. The grounds are stunning, we enjoyed exploring them and the location is perfect, surrounded by mountains and not far (walking distance) from shops and a pub. We received a warm welcome from Christine and Paddy who really took the time to show us around. Caroline was also fantastic, always just a text away and was very helpful. The whole family had a such great weekend, we just wish we could have stayed longer! Thanks again to Caroline, Christine and Paddy :)

"A most fantastic weekend break."
We really enjoyed the peace and quiet of the location, the house is absolutely beautiful, the beds are comfy and the gardens are a dream. We couldn’t have asked for more! The only small hint I would give is to bring a knife sharpener if you are cooking butternut squash soup like us ;)

"There was initial confusion about the extra £250 Good Housekeeping Bond."
The property was large, for 18 people: the dishwasher broke halfway through the week and the frig leaked throughout the week and we had no control over the heating. The dishwasher was not fixed and the compensation we received was two bottles of wine, a wheelbarrow full of logs, additional tea towels, a bottle of fairy liquid, two sponges and several apologies. It did not seem to add up. It was also advertised that there was a possibility of outside catering at the property and we were then quoted £45 head for a 3 course meal. When I mentioned that I found that a bit pricey but was interested in other options the outside caterers let me know that they were no longer available.
Brilliant location, lovely house and gardens and great pub, Ty Mawr, nearby. We had a great time!
Thank you for your feedback and we're sorry you felt there was some confusion regarding paying the good housekeeping bond before your stay, we will endeavour to make this a simpler process moving forward. Unfortunately, the dishwasher needed a new part which was ordered but did not arrive in time to be fixed during your stay; to help with this, we provided you with the additional cleaning equipment and some wine for your inconvenience, apologies if you felt this was not the correct way to deal with your issue. The fridge appears to be working fine, however, it can leak if it is overcrowded inside due to condensation with the air not being able to circulate. Regarding the caterers, we cannot amend the pricing they provide you with and they do need notice in order to organise something for you; we're very sorry they could not arrange something for you at late notice, had we been aware of this, we would have happily provided you with further numbers for alternative caterers. We are very glad to hear you enjoyed the location, the house itself and the gardens and are very pleased you had a lovely stay overall. Thank you again for taking the time to let us know your feedback, it is always helpful for us to continually improve our standards. Property Owner

"This is a delightful house, tastefully refurbished to reflect its age and character."
The location is ideal, nestled in the most beautiful landscaped gardens and providing easy access to the Snowdonia National Park or if inclined the beautiful beaches of Harlech and others. The town of Llanbedr is in easy walking distance and provides a great pub, a number of very nice restaurants and a little village shop. There were 12 of us and a couple of dogs, the dogs could safely roam the gardens sniffing out rabbits and other wonders, whilst we played croquet and the youngsters went to the town or walking in the ‘sunshine’ !!. No downside to this place we felt well looked after by the owner, gardener, caterers and cake maker (my wife’s birthday). I think we all shed a tear when we left and will certainly return.

"Plas Gwynfryn is a fabulous base for exploring the surrounding area."
The grounds are spectacular, our children from 4yrs to 11 had a great time adventuring around the garden and the lawns are perfect for a game of rounders! The bedrooms are very comfortable and quite luxurious, the hot water for showers can be a bit temperamental when with a large group, but the bathrooms are all very nice. The downstairs living space is great with a very large but cosy lounge. The kitchen is quite well equipped but it is quite small and quite difficult to navigate when you're cooking for a large group. Overall we had a fantastic stay in North Wales, I would definitely recommend Plas Gwynfryn to friends and family.

"Quite simply breathtaking!"
Such a find I almost don't want to tell anyone about it. Everything about the house is amazing, but the icing on the cake for us were the catering company that the house recommended. We were spoiled rotten all weekend.

"Received a very warm welcome from Patrick and Christine, the owners representatives, who showed us around the house and pointed out the various facilities and fire exits."
The building and its contents were well maintained and presented, and there were more than enough facilities to occupy everyone. The grounds are quite large, and very well maintained and a credit to the gardener whom we often saw beavering away in the distance. Overall an excellent holiday accommodation, and one we would highly recommend.
