Plas y Brain

Great family holiday accommodation, the games room was a definite plus.

Close to all amenities and within easy reach of beaches, gardens and walks. The house is set within the countryside and very peaceful.

A very secluded property.

Once you leave the main road, you leave everything else behind. Your holiday begins. We were lucky we got the best of weather. The place was quiet and very peaceful. Time to let your imagination runs wild. Enjoy.

Our second year back!

Absolutely spotless! Best house we have stayed in! Stunning scenery! Favourite part was meeting the farmer,my grandchildren loved him, met the owner who was very accommodating,thank you for a fantastic week,will be back next year!

The house is a beautiful place to stay at, out the way and lovely and quiet.

The only things that could do with improving is the fridge isn't the best, even when turned to the max and the electric hob isn't the best but we managed ok because we mainly eat out. We have stayed at plas y brain four years on the bounce now and will book again.

If you want peace and quiet Plas y Brain is the place to be.

We loved our week there, the property is very clean, comfortable and well equiped. There was only two of us and a dog but there would be plenty of room for the stated sleeps seven. The rooms are huge and the ensuite bathroom was a real touch of luxury with a roll top bath you could sit in and enjoy the views. Just one minor negative comment is that the patio could have done with weeding and tidying making the outside seartng area the icing on the cake and worry of a 5☆ rating.

Lovely situation in beautiful countryside we had a great week together with family in this large accommodating house.

Thanks for having us - recommended

We immediately booked again for November.

Fabulous house in a very convenient location for our dog walking and cycling adventures. I jokingly said to the owner that if he put a hot tub in that I would make an offer for his superb farm

Excellent holiday let set in a great location, beaches and pubs all close by.

Games room was a plus for the one rainy day. Dogs loved the enclosed garden.

We had a gorgeous stay at Plas Y Brain!

The house itself was beautiful, as were the surroundings and the lovely neighbouring cows. The house has some quirks as you would expect from an old building, for example the water pressure in the turret wasn't great and the water took a while to warm up. There were also small patches of mould in some areas. The location was a great base for exploring Anglesey, although we only ever travelled to places by car. All in all we loved our stay and will definitely return!

Good parking.

Approach road very narrow. Never met any traffic so no problem. House very large, very clean and equipped with everything you need. Very rural and private. Easy access to the rest of Anglesey and North Wales. Overall we had an excellent holiday.

Absolutely beautiful, unfortunately had to come home 3 days in to weeks holiday as dog ill.

What a fantastic place.

The photos definitely don’t show how big this property is. We all had a really relaxing holiday in this remote place, the tranquility of the countryside yet only minutes from sandy beaches. Our two Border collies loved every minute, in fact we had difficulty getting them to stay inside they loved the garden so much. We will definitely book again.

Had a great week here in this fine house,even the weather was fantastic.

Did not see the house keeper at all but did not need to as everything was perfect, but spoke on the phone.Will hopefully return one day.This really was peace and quiet at its best. Regards Phil and Sue Leeds.

This is a fabulous house!

The cleanest holiday home we have stayed in! The house was plenty big enough for 7 of us + 1 dog. The views were amazing from all angles of the house. Was fascinating watching the cows and calves in the fields. The games room was a bonus on the couple of rainy days we had, fun for all with ages ranging from 11 - 77. Plenty of storage in all of the bedrooms. The owners were great on day of departure when one of our cars would start. They allowed us to stay at the house and use the facilities whilst awaiting recovery. Benllech is not far, we spent time here at the beach and using the local tennis courts. We would definitely return to Plas y Brain! Thanks for a really enjoyable stay!

Loved our week break.

House was amazing. Very clean. Had everything we need. Outside seating could have been a bit bigger but non the less would book this property again. Was amazing.

First the small negatives, pillows were too firm and the sofa set outside only provided 4 seats BUT none of this mattered because the house was amazing.

It was super clean and fresh, everything provided for you to immediately settle in (toilet paper, washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets etc). The views are incredible, the photos don't do it justice, the space is incredible. The games room kept us entertained. So many great days out within an easy drive. The sound of nature all around, daily visit to the garden wall, from the cows were a highlight. I wholeheartedly recommend this accommodation and hope we get to return one day.

Beautiful home, very spacious, perfect for families and dog friendly, lots of space for dogs outside property and secure.

Countryside location with views of livestock. Host was amazing and quick to respond to messages. We had am amazing time, peaceful sleep and kitchen perfect for cooking and baking home meals. Highly recommend.

Plas y Brain is a wonderful house for a large group.

The play room with the wonky pool table kept us all amused. The Aga was wonderful, especially as it was a Christmas break. It's a short car ride to shops and close to fabulous beaches. A lovely house in a beautiful part of the world.

Plas y Brain is a great house in a really peaceful and private location.

There’s plenty of room in the house and outside. The garden was great for our dog. This is a great spot for star gazing too as there is little to no light pollution in the surrounding area. The house was warm and spotlessly clean when we arrived. The kitchen has lots of worktop and cupboard space, and it is well equipped; although, a few extra dinner and side plates would be good. The fridge is about the size of an under counter fridge. We would have benefitted from a larger fridge as we took a week’s worth of shopping with us but couldn’t fit it all in. The shops in Benllech aren’t far though, so I wouldn’t take as much fresh food next time. We loved the large kitchen table. It was great for dining and playing games on. There was plenty of room in the large hallway when all 7 of us were trying to get shoes on and get out of the house. Some coat hooks/coat stand here would be beneficial. We used the shelves in the cupboards for coats and luckily had dry weather, so it didn’t matter too much for us. The games room was good fun and enjoyed by all (age range from 9-77 years!). The stair gate made it easy to keep the dog downstairs as requested by the owners and there was a large space under the stairs area to put her crate. A point to note for visitors is to take a plug attachment to charge your electric toothbrush as there aren’t any shaver points. We had a lovely family holiday here (lots of walking on the nearby beaches and coastal path followed by playing games at the house) and although we had really nice weather, we feel like the house would have been a good space if we’d had to stay in. We will definitely stay at Plas y Brain again the next time we visit Anglesey.

We had a wonderful stay.

An excellent property within a first class location. The quality of the decor and the facilities within the property were extremely good. All this supported by a very competent and charming owner/manager. We have to say that during our stay there were no negative experiences. We highly recommend this property.

SUPER, COMFORTABLE AND CLEAN PROPERTY.

SO VERY ROOMY YET A COSY FEEL. PLENTY OF PARKING. EVERYTHING ONE NEEDS FOR A GREAT HOLIDAY. WOULD DEFINETELY RECOMMEND.

We had a fantastic stay here, the who family had a lovely time and would highly recommend to friends and family

We’ve enjoyed a lovely week in this beautiful house.

It accommodated our three generations easily and was a great base to explore the countryside and stunning beaches. We were very lucky to have a week of sunshine! The house had everything we needed and is lovely and clean. Our only recommendation would be for mirrors with sockets in the two king rooms. The beds were comfortable and we enjoyed lots of games around the large kitchen table and in the games room. We all made friends with the cows and sheep in the fields and our dog enjoyed the garden and walks along the country lanes. Not far to travel to get to pubs, shops and takeaways. We’ve had a great time. Thank you!

We loved staying at Plas y Brain.

The house was a lot bigger than it looked in the photos. Google maps tried to take us some other route which would have lead through the back of the farm, so be warned. You are best to use St Peter's Church as a destination. The views from all of the bedrooms are great, especially the main bedroom which has a window seat. We had sheep come really close to the house and there are views of what I assume to be Red Wharf Bay in the distance. We did have an minor issue with the dishwasher not working, but Dylan came later the same day and fixed it. My wife also got locked in the on-suite bathroom as the doorknob didnt work on the inside. All in all, a lovely house and very close to Red wharf Bay, a few pub restaurants (Four Crosses had the best food for us)

Loved our stay….

so much room for us as a 3 generation family. Lovely comfy beds. Fabulous farmhouse kitchen with everything you need, we cook most meals on holiday and didn’t want for anything…..BBQ was a bonus. Great sized gardens, our dog loved the freedom of being off lead outside. Thankyou to the hosts for sharing your lovely property.

We did not want to leave and I could of stayed forever.

The beds are all comfortable, beautiful views and loved talking to the sheep everyday. We did a lot of our own cooking and their is a good range of cooking pans and dishes but the vegetable peeler was a bit hard to use as it was broken and the tin opener was also a bit hard to use but I have got arthritis in my hands but checking equipment is working is just a bit frustrating when your hands don't work. Thanks Dylan and will defiantly be back.

Plas Y Brain was a lovely house to use as our base.

There were 5 of us plus 2 dogs. The house itself was large with so much room for everyone. The kitchen was equipped with everything you need although maybe the addition of a caffetierre would have been the icing on the cake! The games room was a great bonus for the evenings with the mini pool table causing great fun as the balls rolled into the same position due to the surface not being quite flat. We didn’t really find the local walks as only had time one day and got chased by the cows. They were beautiful though and inquisitive once we were on the other side of the fence. The attractions we went to were just stunning and everything is so quick to get to. Seeing Puffins and Seals were our highlights. I would highly recommend a stay here, so peaceful, all you could hear was cows, sheep and the birds tweeting.

We thought the house was great for the 6 of us (there should have been 7 but the train strikes messed that plan up).

We loved the space and had to toss coins for who got the double with the amazing bathroom. The weather was awful even by Welsh standards but we can't blame you for that. We would have loved to have been able to hang out in the garden but the most we managed was half an hour. However the place is in a great location for Red Wharf Bay and access to Pentraeth, Benllech and Moelfre . We would definitely go back.

we had a fantastic stay the house was great the views and quietness of surroundings was amazing and lots to see and do around the area

We spent our family Christmas 2023 at Plas Y Brain and had a lovely time.

The house is huge and extremely comfortable with two lounge areas as well as a large dining kitchen and games room. The beds are very comfortable and there are huge wardrobes in every bedroom. The weather was very cold, rainy and windy but we were all warm inside the house. We had our dog with us who loved the large garden and the stair gate at the bottom of the stairs was very helpful in keeping him downstairs as requested by the owners. Dylan was very helpful and always on hand to offer advice and ask if we needed anything to help make our stay more enjoyable. We would love to return one day

We were really impressed with the location and character of Plas Y Brain upon arrival; the house is large and spacious and has stunning views and dark skies (for the stargazers out there).

The house was really comfortable, warm and had everything we needed for our stay; some of the decor may feel a little dated to some, but we found the property to be clean, welcoming and full of charm and would definitely stay there again (we hope to return). Fantastic location, amazingly peaceful and plenty of space for a large family (and dog).

We loved staying here.

Having the games room was very popular and the bedrooms were comfortable. Lovely warm house in beautiful quiet location.

Excellent accommodation.

Excellent location for both visiting tourist attractions and taking dogs for their walks. Benllech beach was their favourite but under Menai Bridge was mine.

Lovely clean, warm, spacious and welcoming property in a beautiful position.

Within a few minutes of beaches and woodland walks, so ideal if you're a dog owner. Would definitely recommend.

We had a fantastic stay and would definitley go back, highly recomended, only a couple of minor points of feedback, and certainly not complaints, but there was no shower hose on bath so couldnt wash our hair whilst having a bath, and the gardens could do with a little more attention as the grass was quite long.

The property is in an idyllic setting, with wonderful views from the garden and every room in the house.

With only the cows for company. The House was clean comfortable and well set out. Ideal for large families or guests that like their own space. It is close to the coast road which meant no where was to far, Benllech 5 mins, Beaumaris 15 mins. The owner was very helpful when we had a problem with one of our cars, I do not know what we would have done without him. Can't recommend this place enough.

We had a fantastic family time.

We were very impressed with the facilities - there was everything you could possibly need. The decor was a little dated but it was spotlessly clean and incredibly spacious. The views from every window were just beautiful. The host sent us an email with little tips and we went to see a gorgeous sunrise because if that. The games room provided a lot of fun and was a great addition. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

Fantastic House, plenty of room for everyone.

Very clean property. Two separate living areas for multi generational living. Nice welcome pack with tea. coffee, sugar, milk and shortbread. There was also cleaning items. Beds and pillows very comfy, the quilt was a bit too warm for me but that's just my preference, not a problem I took the quilt out of the cover and just used the cover. Fantastic views from all sides. Quiet location so if you are looking to get away for a truely relaxing break this is the place for you. The garden is for most part secure but if you have an adventurous dog you would need to monitor this. Not a problem for us we have sleepy lazy dogs. It's close enough to two beaches, just 10 mins in the car. We had an issue with the cooker, contacted the owner who arrived within 20 mins, problem solved. Highlight of the day for the kids was the cows coming in to the field next to the house, they even named a few :-) Worst thing about the house was having to leave. We LOVED it. Can't wait to return. Thank you for sharing your home

Relaxing holiday in a quiet location.

Comfortable beds and plenty of space. Dylan was very helpful and close by if needed. Location is ideal for Anglesey and near the mainland for exploring Snowdonia. Highly recommended.

Fantastic location unfortunately that is the only positive.

Cob webs on every ceiling damp musky smell damp and mould patches next to windows. Kitchen needs TLC cupboards are sticky and the cooker needs replacing not good enough to say they have had supply issues when online you can order a cooker and get it delivered the next day.no curtains upstairs so be prepared to be woken at sunrise

Very clean and fairly well equipped.

Peaceful and tranquil location within easy reach of local amenities and attractions. Immediate area is farming land so pleasant to see the livestock and also the abundant wildlife. Owner/ caretaker was very friendly, helpful and responsive but also gave us our privacy. We stayed with multiple generations of the same family and as such found the house and grounds good for all ages. Many bbqs and family gathering for meals were had. We had a good spell of weather but had we not we feel the house would have still satisfied us all. Ps. Our only suggestion which is not a criticism but more personal preference, would be a comfy chair or window seat in each of the bedrooms, to help soak up the views - otherwise we have no complaints and would likely return as it is a good standard, clean, good layout for large multi age group family, fairly priced and well located for both exploring anglesey and / or staying in and relaxing with family. Thank you to Dylan & co. We really enjoyed our stay.

If you like peace and quiet this is the place for you.

We loved it.

Wonderful house and area.

Would use again.

The property was immaculate.

Very spacious, we had a very comfortable stay. But could do with modernising. The only thing that marred our stay was the gas smell coming from the boiler in the utilities room, some days the smell was overwhelmingly strong. We had to close the door and open the windows every time we went into the kitchen. Plus there was no third bathroom, it was just a downstairs toilet. Having said that I would recommend this property, if you want peace and quiet and a relaxing break. We met the owner, who was a lovely chap and said something will be done about the gas smell.

Really great place to stay, very spacious rooms, very clean and tidy.

Only thing would comment on is there could have been more cutlery, plates, bowls and the like, also a cleaning mop and bucket for the floors, as we always like to leave the properties that we stay in as we find them, but overall a really nice and peaceful place to stay.

All very good and had a lovely stay at Play y Brain Superb place, loads and loads of space though a bigger fridge would be a great help.

Garden not totally secure but not the end of the world and the dog coped. We will hope to be back; must get revenge after my son beating me at pool and table football.

This is a lovely, spacious, well furnished property in a very peaceful location with magnificent views towards Snowdonia ideal for people who love the countryside and its wildlife.

Whilst secluded it is only 10-15minutes to the stunning Red Wharf Bay with its famous Ship Inn and the Bistro or even Benllech with its sandy beech and all the amenities you need. During our stay we regularly saw red kite, raven, pheasant, great tit, blue tit, robins, rabbits and even a red squirrel on the country lane and on a night one could listen to tawny owl and watch bats. The above being the case I think more could be done to attract wildlife into the garden, with perhaps a bird feeding station or perhaps a few trees ands shrubs to attract butterflies and birds (e.g. rowan) but this is a very minor point as there is already plenty of wildlife in the immediate area.

We had a lovely holiday at Plas y Brain.

The house was a very good size with everything we needed. The pool table was a hit. The setting was superb with views to Red Wharf Bay and Snowdonia’s mountains. The beaches and activities in Snowdonia were a short drive away. A perfect recharge for our family.

Lovely large comfortable accommodation a bit off the beaten tract, if you like rural, this is for you.

Lovely kitchen, fridge a bit small for seven people. Unfortunately we had terrible weather during our weeks stay and this meant we were unable to use the small lounge/ snug due to fumes from the oil boiler ( alerted the owner about this problem). Other wise no problems with the property whatsoever.

We have just had a great week at Plas y Brain.

The house is gorgeous, with lots of space for everyone. It is very well equipped with everything you would need, and more. It is in a beautiful location, although it may look a little remote, but it is surrounded by fields with cows, wild animals and birds - a joy for animal lovers. The games room in the tower was also a great success as we all enjoyed playing the ‘football’. The famous Red Wharf Bay is only about 3 miles away and it is also well located for visiting Beaumaris and Plas Newydd. There are also some good eating places close by and we would recommend The Beachcomber restaurant at Benllech for Portuguese hanging grilled skewers and The Tavern on the Bay at St David’s caravan park for excellent food and wonderful views over the bay. The owner, who lives at the farm nearby was very helpful and informative and we would love to go back there in the future.

If you want peace and tranquility this is the place for you.

Lots of walking and enjoying the countryside. The beaches are very close just a short car drive away. A few extra bits and pieces in the kitchen would have helped, and a coffee table in the large lounge but other than that perfect. The beds and pillows were super comfy, always helps.

It would have been nice to have seen the owner just for a quick chat , maybe give us a little info about the island.

We did have a small problem with one of the toilets but it was fixed straight away, thank you .

Really enjoyable stay.

Lovely property, quite well equipped. Although much is dated it added to the charm of the property. The outside space was wonderful for the dog. Property in an ideal location for facilities and exploring the island.

We had a wonderful stay at Plas y Brain, the house is warm, spacious and comfortable.

The area is beautiful with lots to do. The hosts were helpful and gave us lots of advice on things to do locally. I highly recommend staying here, we're already planning a return trip.

Fabulous stay beautiful large house.

Beautiful house, perfect location and can’t wait to go back

The house was exceptionally clean and was lovely and warm when we arrived.

The sofas and beds were comfortable and I loved that the duvets and bed linen were good quality. Some reviews had commented on the decor/ fittings being dated but I loved the charm of this. The only negatives would be that the toilet flush was temperamental in main bathroom and shower temperature not always easy to regulate. Minor issues really. Maybe a couple more pans and a bottle opener too in the kitchen. The caretaker made contact as soon as we arrived and I felt if we’d had issues they would have been dealt with. Lovely peaceful location. Intending to return

A beautiful, spacious, warm and welcoming accommodation.

We were two families celebrating a very special birthday and had such a great time.... can't recommend highly enough.

Stunning house in a peaceful location, where you can enjoy a cuppa in the morning listening to the birds, looking at the stunning views.

Lovely beaches near by & not too far of a drive into Beaumaris. The Bull Inn pub which you pass on your way in, is definitely worth a visit for the carvery! We would definitely return to this beautiful house in the future.

Very quiet, rural setting as advertised.

Good location for getting to the beaches and other areas of Anglesey and North Wales. Hosts were very friendly and helpful. We loved the space that the house afforded us (2 families) and the games room was an added bonus. Kitchen diner worked well for us and enabled us all to sit together for meals. The decor was a bit dated but the property was very clean, the beds were very comfortable and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would have no hesitation in returning.

Fantastic cottage with tons of space.

Although dated it was very clean and we loved the features throughout. It’s about half a mile to the nearest houses and the small village has a brilliant playground for kids. Bellech was a nice village with a great beach and nice cafes/takeaways. We had good communication from the owner and plan to return in future.
