Guest Reviews

• mashhood (10/5): - Excellent
• James (4/5): - Lovely room, four poster bed. No television, no coffee, one capsule of milk, and only dicovered this when wanting a coffee in bed. No evening meal, had to drive into town. For reasons beyond me, I was instucted, by email, to phone the hotel on arrival.Was it to open the doors to let me in? Never again.
• Paul (8/5): - Wonderful historical country house. Just missing TV in the bedrooms.
• Bradley (6/5): - It was okay, there’s barely any spaces to park. Beds were tiny and uncomfortable. Bed room was a little dirty.
• Nik (10/5): - We had a amazing time , lovely staff very friendly and helpful, would highly recommend them
• celia (10/5): - l no bathmat no TV. Inroom shelf in bathroom would be good.otherwise. Very comfortable be and great surroundings. Staff.very pleasant and welcoming.
• Owen (8/5): - Stay was okay, fairly quiet as up on a hill, bit of a quirky place. Room was fine, bathroom was rather cramped and doesn't leave much floor space in the room, but it's fine for an overnight stay.
• Tina (8/5): - Beautiful old manor house. Very friendly staff and a good breakfast with several options. We did have some issues with the shower flooding the floor and there was no available staff. But the girl working was the only staff member that day. But I would stay again. The road to the hotel was narrow. But not too bad a problem
• Simon (4/5): Must do better! - Location to Canaervon is great, 10 minutes drive. Driveway tricky if the neighbours don't make the entrance tighter than it already is. No one on property on arrival, I had to call the 'receptionist' who talked me through getting my room key. At night you need a code to enter. Manor is cold so is the Annexe. No Tv in the room makes it feel like a hostel. Sounds petty but when you are in the middle of nowhere, a shared TV, shuffle board and fussball does not make up for it. Service levels are not what you expect and the level of English is good, not great. This place has some great features but overall it just makes you feel disappointed as it could be so much more.
• Paul (6/5): - No tvs no evening meals available, breakfast was ok.
• Jonathan (2/5): - The manager was unavailable. I couldn’t get a receipt for my stay. I couldn’t pay as agreed with Expedia. The toilet seat was broken; the shower door comes off its roller. No building heat was available until autumn and the room was cold;we had a portable heater given to answer our complaints The room was undersized. The price did not meet prevailing rates.
• robert (8/5): Rob b - Easy parking clean room nice breakfast very helpful lady on reception.
• Verified traveler (2/5): Not the best and was very expensive - No one staying in hotel yet your site said there were limited rooms. Literally no one else in hotel. Sheets had stains on them. Bread was stale at breakfast. Cooked breakfast was all microwaved not freshly cooked. The hotel in general looked liked it needed refurbishment.
• Emoke (10/5): Hidden Gem, Historic charm with stunning views - We had a lovely stay at Plas Y Bryn Manor. It’s a beautiful old building with lots of character, once home to David Lloyd George, one of the UK’s former prime ministers. From the moment we arrived, our host gave us a really warm welcome and shared a bit about the history, which made it feel extra special. The breakfast staff were all so friendly and polite. The complementary breakfast was a highlight – it felt really social sitting around a long antique table in the main reception hall. The location is perfect too: peaceful and quiet with stunning mountain views, and you can even see the water in the distance. There’s plenty to do nearby as well. We came for the Menai Food Festival and the next day went cycling around Anglesey, which was brilliant. All in all, it’s a great mix of history, comfort, and incredible scenery – a wonderful spot for a relaxing getaway.
• Mike (6/5): - Cooked breakfast was great with other cereal choices. Coffee was awful out of their machine. Old Manor House looked like it was in the middle of refurbishment which it definitely needed. Beds comfortable but only one bedside table, no fridge, no hanging space for clothes, no TV, no shelves in bathroom, no toilet roll holder, no shower grab rail, no bath mat. Creaky floorboards, dirty windows. Cups not cleaned. Extremely noisy religious families next door up until 10pm. Hazardous parking with edge drop. Hazardous driveway from main road. No evening meal option or bar. TV lounge had furniture long past their sell by date. Staff very friendly and obliging.
• Stephen (6/5): - Room was very small no television or tea or coffee making facilities in room Single bed was very narrow One towel no bathroom floor mat . Very untidy around the hotel
• Bartlomiej (8/5): - Like room condition, very modern and new, bathroom looks even better! Definitely recommended, and if I go to Snowdon again I'll be looking to book again
• Tim (10/5): - Great to stay in a manor house
• Louise (6/5): - The stay starteThe roomwas clean and warm the bathroom was nice and modern. But unfortunately the main light kept coming on and off so I decided to just use the wall lights. Breakfast was OK not to my liking but I’m not a breakfast person
• Peter (8/5): Would definitely stay again - I stayed in the main house and really enjoyed my time there. Communication before my arrival was good and I was welcomed by Steve when I arrived at reception Friday afternoon, my room was clean, tidy with fresh towels and soap/shampoo etc. etc. There was a group of people there who'd obviously booked to celebrate a birthday or anniversary, this place is ideal if you're looking to do something similar, loads of room, a barbeque, outside seating. Breakfast I skipped on both days as I was having an early lunch, but the food looked delicious. Forgive my spelling, 'Lowsee' at reception was very helpful, nice to see such happy staff.
• Dawn (6/5): - A hotel that felt a little deserted . No Tv or tea & coffee tray in the room which was very small. Few staff and rarely seen. This hotel does have potential.
• Margo (10/5): - Secluded and serene, this beautiful property was the perfect choice for our trip. Staff was helpful and friendly, breakfast was outstanding, and grounds are just gorgeous. I highly recommend!
• Antony (4/5): Please try harder - It was very poor. There was no one to greet us, no reception area and the twin room was cobbled together by splitting a double bed. There was no TV, no kettle, the beds were awful, there was little or no toilet roll in the bathroom. The hanging rail was fitted so poorly that it was impossible to use the only plug in the room! Amazingly there had been fortunes spent on decoration and furnishings throughout the hotel when concentrating on the basics was needed. The breakfast was very limited with a ‘do you want it or not’ approach. All the cereals were supermarket saver brands as was the tea, coffee and juice. Must do better!!!!!
• Margaret (8/5): - Wonderful quiet setting, transport needed. Caters more for large groups. No coffee/tea/tv in rooms but available in communal area.
• Meredith (10/5): Quaint place to stay in historic mansion. - Interesting, old facility (originally was mansion of Lloyd George, English PM in early 1900’s). Great breakfast!
• Roessa (4/5): - Plas Y Bryn manor Hotel has sadly passed its hay day . On arrival it feels sad and run down . This stunning building is full of cheap interiors and lacks any soul . Arriving in our room ..there was a horrible smell . Beds very narrow ..not worth the money Im sad to say . I do wish them well as the property its self is lovely .
• Trevor (4/5): Unpleasant stay - The room was tiny and unpleasant, nothing like the spacious one seen on the website. The only positive was that the shower was very good and the bed quite comfortable. The remainder were in he negative. Not a pleasant stay for me.
• Alexandra (10/5): - This is an interesting place! The room was clean and comfortable, you just need to bring your own toiletries. The property has a lot of space to lounge and hang out, including nice outdoor tables to enjoy the sunset, and even has an indoor shuffleboard table. The staff was very nice and will make you eggs for breakfast. The property was great for hiking in Snowdonia. The property has a bit of a long driveway so it's not very walkable to restaurants/food stores but it's a very short drive to get food.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Ok - Remote area but quiet...
• Richard (6/5): Hostel quality Hotel prices - Our stay resembled a hostel stay rather than a hotel. Basic room, single beds on wheels moved, no to, no hand towels, corridor light beamed around door frame all night, thin walls and ceilings mean you can hear everything. Car park too small. Sides of hotel resembled a halfway house rather than a hotel, rubbish and dilapidated vehicles scattered the floors around the building sides. Breakfast was basic, tub of margarine for all to share and one big table. Was fine for what we needed it for but twice the price of what a private room at a hostel would be but similar standard.
• Cledwyn (2/5): Very,very disappointing - Arrived not good impression rubber jigsaw tiles made up the flooring,shown to the bedroom no carpet on floor and had two single beds the linen of which was different on each bed,one of the fitted sheets had blood on it had to ask for that to be changed no hand towels just bath ones accompanied by two small bottles of shampoo no hand soap.Doubt very much if the bathroom had been cleaned has half a bottle of shampoo was still in the shower cubicle from previous occupants.Only one tv in the downstairs area which had to be shared with all guests has no tv in rooms and only has one big table in the dining area .View from our room overlooked the back yard which had old tables and old fridge freezers unit all in all not impressed in fact was prepared to leave straight away and look for somewhere else but wife prevailed and we stayed.Must say it was more like a hostel then a hotel
• Lee (4/5): Don’t recommend - Check in was terrible could find my booking and showed me laptop screen and it was right there. Got to the room it was dirty no tv kettle was in poor condition my double was two singles that kept spreading. No eating facilities or bar so had to walk to the nearest town. My view was of a caravan’s out the window.
• Frieda (4/5): - Exterior and entrance very impressive, although does have a difficult access road. Inside was superficially grand. Bedrooms were extremely small and no facilities or TV. On arrival we were greeted by a lady on the phone who continued her chat loudly whilst showing us to our room, there was very little customer care throughout our stay. It is a shame as the venue has great potential to be an exceptional hotel but I will not be going back any time soon.
• Susan (10/5): - Dining lounge area , lovely restoration
• Kathleen (10/5): - After reading reports regarding cleanliness prior to arriving we were a little concerned, however our room was spotless and the beds were massive!! Beautiful bathroom and shower was wonderful.
• John (4/5): - Know one around when we eventually got into hotel, no reception? Had to phone to tell them we were there, told us it was self check in ? Asked our mane and told us our room number and key would be in the door and breakfast at 7-30. Got to room and immediately saw it had not been cleaned since last client. Rang him back and was told to go to another room. This room was a family room, which was not a problem, had dirty towels in bathroom but at least the beds were tidy and had clean towels on the beds. Breakfast was ok and full English offered but you could make changes to that if you required. Having said all this we were there to walk up Snowden and the hotel was ok for our purpose, no television in room but large tv downstairs to watch and although no evening meal could be had of a nice wine. So lucky enough we brought our own. And the local public house had very good food. The owners who we mainly saw at breakfast time were very nice, it’s just a pity they can not see the scope of there premises and the small amount of attention needed to take it into 3 or 4 star bracket.
• Terri (2/5): - Bed was comfortable and shower was powerful and hot.
• Mike (2/5): - No one to meet us on arrival. Spent 30 mins wandering around the hotel in search of anyone. Finally worked out which was our room by searching on an abandoned laptop and the room was dirty and missing all the essentials in the bathroom. A non speaking English member of staff, who we later bumped into, gave no help about anything we needed.
• Lesley (4/5): Hotel was nice, but check in was atrocious - Ive never experienced a stay like this in all my years of travel. We arrived at the hotel to find it in total darkness. We managed to locate a side entrance marked Reception, only to discover Reception doesn't actually exist any more. Along with two other couples we had to try and find our way around. I then tried 8 times to phone a contact number (and have screenshot this for clarity) given on the booking email only to get no reply. This is at 8.45 pm, so not ridiculously late. We then came across another couple who explained all the rooms have keys in in the doors, you just let yourselves in. Which we all did. Fifteen minutes later, I received a phone call from a man telling me he was the property manager. When i explained the situation, he was quite sharp, telling me you cant just pick a room. Well, im very sorry but if you had a system that explained exactly how you recieved your room munber more clearly this situation would never have arisen for us or the other guests on that evening. After a six hour drive the last thing anyone needs are complications at the booked accommodation.
• Ernest (8/5): - Quiet and spacious rooms. However, not enough parking space for guests.
• Roland (8/5): - Thanks Steve, your hospitality was fabulous & you went out of your way to help out. The Manor is very grand and our room beautiful. The only thing that stops this from being 5 star are small but important things like attention to cleanliness. ( no toiletries, no extra toilet rolls, bathroom floor?? Not washed, no bath mats,. Not much is needed, as this is a spectacular manor and great ambience. We enjoyed our stay
• Colleen (10/5): - The Manor was beautiful. Furnishings in the lounge area were exquisite and the bedroom just gorgeous. Very comfortable bed and lively bathroom. Location good. A lovely place to stay - wish we could have stayed longer.
• Fran (10/5): Excellent stay - Excellent stay - was made to feel so welcome.
• Ray (8/5): - 1st impression wasn’t very good but overall was a good stay host was a lovely guy but not professional but very nice would go there again.
• Diane (10/5): Hotel stay - The host was very nice and welcoming. Breakfast was nice.
• Paula (8/5): - Nice old house didnt see any ghosts!
• S (8/5): Stay at Plas Y Brynn - Pleasantly situated, nice surroundings. Beautiful interior. It was ran in a laid back, informal style. Room was very clean and comfortable. Lots of hot water. There was no bin though to put the bits of rubbish you accumulate. Friendly staff.
• Catherine (10/5): Sarah,Kenny,little paddy ❤️ - Had a amazing time,David made us feel very welcome an comfortable with our stay, beautiful hotel,bed very comfy and breakfast very tasty, recommend hotel,we even had our little dog an he felt at home also, we will be returning thank you.
• Joy (8/5): - Friendly host. Comfortable room and excellent breakfast. Only negative, very rural so if arriving in the dark property needs more lighting.
