Guest Reviews
- Stephen (9/5): Comfortable and inviting - Location and property Nil
- Keith (8/5): Would not hesitate to stay again - Off street parking for motorcycles to the rear was helpful. Shona made us all very welcome and provided an enjoyable Breakfast experience. Tomos was most efficient looking after our needs and evening meal , food was good and the service was excellent.
- Owen (8/5): Very pleasant stay at Plas-yn-dre. - Tomos was very helpful and the food on both days was excellent. Parking was very tight at the rear of the hotel.
- David (9/5): -
- Kelly (10/5): Perfect night away - Staff were lovely and helpful , rooms were clean warm and comfy, perfect night away
- John (10/5): Amazing Friendly and Clean Hotel. - Amazing hotel and very clean. The room was very well laid out and had a tv in both areas so we could watch something different. We ate in the restaurant and the food was very good. We didn't have time for breakfast in the morning but the guy on the front desk made us 2 sandwiches to take away which was very nice of him. We will definitely stay here again next time we are visiting the karting track nearby. Thanks Nothing everything was very nice.
- Christopher (10/5): Just a really good unpretentious comfortable hotel with great food - highly recommended - Food was fabulous, sunday roasts were exceptionally good, our 18month grandson enjoyed the childrens menu, breakfasts very generous portions well cooked from great ingredients. Extremely attentive and friendly staff, nothing was any trouble! The en suite shower room was a little cramped and the shower would have benefited from some sort of rail to hold on to.
- Claire (10/5): Perfect thanks - Beautiful room, lovely staff who couldn’t do more to make our stay perfect even providing a packed breakfast for our walk up Snowdon.
- Ana (10/5): Amazing gem. Looking forward to coming back soon. - Property is beautiful and obviously well cared for. We loved the feel and how it leans into its history. Beds were very comfortable and the showers perfect. As for the food, all we can say is it is amazing!!! Breakfasts were excellent quality and very yummy. We had dinner at the property too and we were not disappointed!!! Fantastic!!
- Tim (10/5): - Friendly attentive staff. Manager Dan was an amazing host. The location and quality of the hotel was excellent, with absolute cleanliness and great attention to detail. Would highly recommend.

- David (10/5): - Accommodation. food. Friendly staff.
- Ward (9/5): - Fantastische kamer (nummer 4) , heel ruim en zelfs met een bankje erbij om op te zitten. Mooi groot bed en een fijne regendouche. Personeel is zeer vriendelijk en welwillend met een speciale vermelding voor Dan. Hij wil duidelijk alles doen om het zijn gasten naar de zin te maken en dat voel je. Hotel is zeer hondvriendelijk en de hond mocht gewoon bij ons liggen in het restaurant gedeelte. Enige kleine minpuntje is misschien de locatie midden in het dorp aan de doorgaande weg. Je hoort het verkeer op je kamer en je zit op het (grote) terras vrij dicht bij de straat. Maar wij vonden het geen probleem.

Not really a didn't like for me as I'm only 5' tall however my husband and son are 6' and the doorways on the top floor and in the room were ok for me to walk straight through but they had to duck.

I have never experienced customer service like that in all my years of travelling around. It was 100% first class. Dan was very welcoming, kind and caring. He truly is a credit to this hotel. He offered to help retrieve our baggage from the car. He went above and beyond to make our stay very enjoyable. The breakfast was excellent and well presented with a variety of choice. Thomas looked after us and again he was very welcoming and made sure everything was perfect for us. He is also a credit to the team. The room was beautiful and appreciated the view on the high street. The restaurant and bar was beautifully decorated. Overall, this has been a really lovely stay and we have loved every minute of being looked after by the staff and enjoying this hotel. I would not hesitate to book again. Thank you for a fabulous stay. Rachael, Jean and Poppy the dog who enjoyed her doggy sausage. Leaving

- Brian (9/5): Billions of Books to browse while you enjoy a bountiful Brecwast Cymreig - We stayed here in order to support a friend who was playing a gig at a lovely local restaurant (Old wives tales) a short walk nearby. The hotel was on the main street but we had an excellent undisturbed night's sleep in a lovely immaculate room on the first floor. Staff were very welcoming both at breakfast and at reception. Entry at the front door at late hours was by the same card as for our room. Breakfast was by order from a comprehensive menu and was quickly served up in a room that had the feel of a lovely old Library with hundreds of vintage books to browse. Would happily stay again. Very little to say against our room but I found the temperature difficult to set on the shower thermostat. My wife had no problem but she is of course the Brains in this marriage!
