• "We had the most wonderful week at Plas Madoc lodge, it was so cozy, well equipped and it was in a really good spot for everything we wanted to do."

  The log burner was an absolute bonus on these chillier November nights. We will 100% be booking again next year!

  It’s very comfortable and surrounded by beautiful places to go to.. unfortunately there was a problem with the water system which meant we had to cut our holiday short by two days

  Elwyn was more than helpful. Tucked away and yet an ideal location for exploring the surrounding areas. The woodland was beautiful with amazing trees, bluebells, rhododendrons in full bloom with squirrels to watch and birds singing!

  Plenty to see nearby and wonderful trails from the nearby village of Trefriw. We loved waking up and seeing the sheep in the fields of the cottage every morning!

• "Fantastic place to stay in beautiful grounds."

  We enjoyed celebrating our Silver Wedding Anniversary here. Very cosy with the added bonus of the log burner. The grounds were very much enjoyed by our Labrador! Lovely to see all the lambs in the fields. The village has everything you need and more. Fish and chips were amazing! Only a short drive from Betws-y-Coed which we love. Will hopefully return for another stay soon. Thank you!

  Alwyn is a definite asset to the cottage and gave us a lovely warm welcome. The only thing that would possibly stop us returning is the noise from the busy road that the property is adjacent to.

• "Fantastic cottage."

  The cottage is well equipped with everything we needed, even down to a slow cooker. Very clean, rooms a great size. Peaceful. Great we could walk round the grounds. Elwyn was extremely helpful. Great area for walking our dog. Lovely to relax round the fire going at night after being out walking. Really comfortable except for the mattress which is down to our personal preference of preferring a firm mattress to a soft. However, this wouldn't stop us booking again..Thank you for a great stay.

  It was decorated befitting the authentic Lodge it was, so if you like shiny white formicaxsealed bathroom units it might not be for you, but perfect for a walking holiday with or without dogs Although lots of sheep around off lead walks are close by. Very friendly, but relaxed owners. I will be going back

  Close to the coast and walks from the front door or just a short car ride away, the town of Llanrwst is also really close for anything you need. Only criticism would be be it needs a bit of a spruce up, a bigger sofa and the mattress isn't the best BUT none of those things would deter us from returning. Great property

• "It was brilliant, such a quaint property."

  The location is excellent for all of the activities in snowdonia. The comfort cones into its own when you light the wood burner. The caretaker Elwyn is really helpful. Our dogs were fine. There is an enclosed rear yard. Walks up into the estate with many sequoias is beautiful. Road noise not a problem for us. Private Parking helped when loading and unloading. Llanwrst has all the facilities. A really enjoyable break, in a property we would highly recommend.

  It's in a good place in the middle of all well known attractions. The Spar voucher was welcome. The cottage was warm and met our needs. Con Kitchen hot tap trickles out and needs opened somewhere. No dishwasher so had to boil kettle to get enough hot water in sink. Sykes page mentions a bbq and needs to be removed, especially if meals are planned that way. Still worthwhile booking this cottage.

• "The lighting in the cottage especially the kitchen very poor."

  The bathroom plumbing for a cottage of that price extremely poor. Plumbing run by a Macerator and shower and bath very very slow to empty. The Bedroom and Lounge were good and the services of the Staff beyond excellent, could not do enough for you. It is a shame that the building wants a lot of work for the prices charged especially the front window which is rotting outside and lets in lots of draughts.

  The surrounding farmland is lovely and perfect for an evening stroll with the dog. The cottage is perfectly located for visiting a number of places and the staff we met were really lovely. This cottage is very close to an A road so you do get a fair bit on traffic noise but we didn’t really notice it after a few days.

  Ethan the caretaker texted on the day to say the lodge was available earlier than the 5pm time so we didn't have to hang around. Lovely touch. The lodge was stunning inside and set in such beautiful surroundings. The walk around the park and into the town were fantastic.

  We were given a oil heater and extra logs but the property has very high ceilings and remained cold. The property and surrounding area is excellent and the caretaker attentive to needs. However, a electrician needs to attend property to rectify heating problem. On the previous stay to this stay the bedroom wall heater did not work and appears to be a continuing problem.

  Great place if you like to be away from people. Good if you have a dog as it has a high walled courtyard to let them out into so they are safe. Road is a bit busy but noise didn't really bother us, I think it depends what you're used to. No problems pulling out of the drive at all. All in all a very sweet and quirky place to stay which had everything we needed. Great location for walking in Snowdonia.

  Its tranquil and friendly atmosphere was welcomed. There is only one suggestion and that is it does need a bit of TLC ie lick of paint, it is such a beautiful lodge, if brightened up it would be outstanding. This has no reflection on our stay. We had a wonderful time. I have already recommended it to friends and family.

• "Some things needed replacing/upgrading."

  e.g shower curtain was mouldy on bottom, bulb not working in shaver light, slight smell coming from sani-flo toilet, which was also noisy. Also a draw back that there is no wi-fi. Blinds and curtains could be replenished/updated. Outside - out-house/store roof had collapsed in and was in a bad state of repair, could be a hazard. Location of cottage to places to visit is good but the junction on to the main road is hair-raising to say the least, because of lack of visibility to the right, this is fast, busy main road.

• "Clean, comfortable lodge in a handy location for large tracts of north west Wales."

  Although it's next to a main road and a railway line we barely noticed them. Few trains in the day and none overnight. The landlord was friendly and helpful. The welcome wine and huge flapjack was appreciated! Nice big fridge-freezer and a good electric hob and double-over and microwave. Bath and shower were good, nice big bathroom too. Hot water was a bit puzzling - a switch on the wall said hot water but didn't seem to do anything so we ended up using the immersion heater when needed. Nothing in the Lodge manual to suggest doing anything different. Comfortable big bed, decent amount of wardrobe space and drawers. The high ceilings kept it pleasantly cool on the very hot days we had. There's a broad pavement/cycle track outside the Lodge all the way down to Llanrwst. Overall a peaceful week in a cosy Lodge in a fabulous location. Fond memories of looking out over the hills on the far side of the Conwy valley each morning!
