Plas Gwynfryn

I was there with kids & grandkids .

I only stopped short of full marks because of age of things but were very happy overall & didn’t expect ( or want ) 5 * hotel standards . The grounds were amazing & the large lawn hosted a lot of football . Slight problem with hot water attended to very promptly . Will be going back !!

Plas Gwynfryn is a delightful, spacious property which was ideal for our large family get together.

There is so much of interest to see in the local area. Caroline was very pleasant and helpful with the few minor issues that we had. I would certainly recommend this property.

We had a great week at Plas Gwynfryn.

It was a lovely house with plenty of space for 8 adults and 7 children to spread out. There was plenty of hot water and the kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed for cooking our meals. The garden was a particular feature with so much space for the children to run around.

My family of 8 adults and 8 children enjoyed a lovely weekend in Plas Gwynfryn.

The children played happily in the large, interesting gardens, we enoyed a visit to a local beach and a walk along footpaths near to the accommodation. The house is large and spacious and has a dining room which enables everyone to sit down together for meals around the long dining table. We enjoyed a lovely weekend in Plas Gwynfryn and would be happy to return .

Lovely large comfortable house and very accommodating host we had a good family holiday and wanted for nothing ( except a hair drier!

!) would definitely recommend the property and will probably revisit ourselves

A beautiful property that was perfect in size and comfort for a family celebration of 14 adults.

The grounds are great, access to the village pub & shop is easy as is the stunning Welsh countryside and seaside. The kitchen and some of the bathroom facilities could be upgraded with larger fridges and new cooker. That said it didn't detract from the great time we had. We hired a chef for 1 night - Cegan Dylan Williams who was fabulous.

The property was extensive in size with lots of room for all 15 of us.

It was close to the village itself but very quiet. The house was very well equipped, clean and the decor whilst dated was in keeping with the property. The only problem as far as our family was concerned were the beds. The four men in the family are all over six feet so the framed beds were too short and hence uncomfortable for us. The well maintained external areas were ideal for the kids for playing games and exploring. Over all a very enjoyable stay well managed by Caroline.

Plas Gwynfryn is a truly wonderful 'Arts and Craft' house with spacious bedrooms and modern bath/shower rooms.

It is well fitted out exactly as the web site describes. The grounds are well maintained with three large lawns giving plenty of space for games or relaxing. The views from the house are spectacular and the excellent Victoria pub is a short walk away. I would recommend this house to anyone requiring accommodation for a large family or group.

My family and I had a lovely weekend in Plas Gwynfryn.

There was plenty of space inside and outside of the House for all 16 of us - 8 adults , 7 children. a baby and small dog. The grounds are really interesting for strolling around and a grassed area for the children to play. A lovely property - Thank you

Excellent place for a family holiday, great facilities, gorgeous grounds.

Great local places to eat. Pet friendly.

We’ve just had a really lovely stay here.

Caroline couldn’t do enough for us. She’s very friendly and helpful, nothing is too much trouble! The house is very spacious with a very well equipped kitchen. The grounds are really lovely for a nice walk around. The beds are very soft, like lying on a marshmallow. Nice for some and not for others. Directions to the house are a little tricky, just look out for the mirror on the right of the road and turn into the driveway opposite. There is no sign for the house! Overall, we had a really lovely siblings long weekend away and would thoroughly recommend saying here.

The only thing aginst giving a full marks for facilities was a fault with the hot water & heating, however the owner was close to hand & did everything they could to get things working properly in the shortest possible time.

Plas gwynfryn was amazing so welcoming and the house is fantastic everything and more you could wish for perfect for family and friends together one of the best I’ve stayed in I would say they just need a name plaque on the entrance to say the name of the house so it’s easier to find .

5⭐️ And Caroline Evans the owner is welcoming and friendly

An excellent large property to share with family and friends.

The beautifully maintained gardens and courtyard provide more than ample safe space for recreation for all ages and the organisation of bedrooms along wings of one floor ensure privacy with ease of accessibility. We look forward to visiting again very soon with our four generation family to enjoy the stunning views and beautifully appointed accommodation. Thank you Caroline

Loved the property and grounds.

Will definitely be back

What a fantastic place for celebrating our joint birthdays with all of our friends!

The house is so spacious and the gardens are absolutely amazing - our dogs loved it. Caroline was there to greet us, show us around and answer any questions we had. The house is only a short walk to the village where the pubs are excellent (and all dog friendly). We were very lucky with the weather and were able to sit outside a lot, admiring the scenery. A week we will definitely not forget!

The only thing I don't like are the T&C associated with paying a 20 GBP deposit.

What a stunning property.

Superbly located in beautiful grounds. We had a wonderful family holiday and are contemplating re booking.. highly recommend this place.. dogs loved it too.

Superb house, full of character and delightful gardens.

This was our second visit for our extended family break and we will be returning. Great location for access to beautiful Wales.

Loved the house and venue and the kids loved the football pitch sized lawn and grounds.

Slightly old fashioned but warm and cozy with a somewhat bizarre lay out . The last house we rented from you had an advertised but totally useless piano. While Plas Gwynfryn has an in tune Bechstein which was much appreciated why not mention it? Luckily a late arrival brought some music Need more toilet rolls 2 per room with 9 adults and 5 children is Not enough! Area is great and Victoria Inn - local pub got 5 stars

Fabulous venue with lots to recommend it for large groups.

ONly one very minor complaine - definitely need more drying (dish) cloth in the kitchen. we had a really great holiday break in spite of terrible weather

We’re a family of 10 that played in Plas Gwynfryn on from the 8th to 15th September!

We had an amazing time both in the house and the local area! There’s so much to do in the house! So much space to entertain yourselves, and hidden areas if you want 5 minutes to yourself. The kitchen is well stocked, it has everything you could possible need for baking, cooking and preparing! HEADS UP! THE AGA IS ALWAYS ON AND HOT! If you’re in the bedroom above the kitchen it does get very warm in there. The bathrooms were all clean and to a high standard, the beds aren’t the most comfortable mattresses in the world, they’re quite soft! The grounds the house sits on are beautiful, again so many hidden features, we didn’t find the pond until the third day. The lawns are perfect for outdoor family games, we played king cub for hours it was amazing! If you’re into spooky stuff, this is definitely a great house to go to, certain bumps, bangs and scuffs that can’t be explained most certainly happened. Things seem to be in a different place to where you remember leaving them. We had a few friends along the way, spiders and mice came to say hello a few times but this wasn’t a major problem and is expected with grounds like the ones that surround Plas Gwynfryn! Outings: we’d recommend a trip to the waterfalls about 5/10 minute drive away, do the blue walk and see the sights it’s beautiful, catch the train up snowdon (or walk if you’re able). One of the best roast dinners we’ve eaten was at Hafan Artro! Take a drive to Porthmadog - they have a great escape room if that’s your thing! Final note is to Caroline, the manager who looks after the house, she’s wonderful, no problem or question to big, she’s always on hand to rush in and save the day and help anyway she can!

Fabulous place to stay, was over and above what we hoped for.

Great spaces for us all to get together, with enough room to spend time to relax on your own. Had everything we needed and more.

Excellent facility Superb locality Would def stay again (when funds available)

Plas Gwynfryn is a fabulous spacious property with loads of character and huge well kept grounds.

Caroline the owner was very helpful and responsive. We did have an issue when an appliance broke down but Caroline was quickly on hand and provided an alternative to stop the holiday being spoiled. The house is very tastefully and period correctly decorated with good quality fitments. The only minor quibble was the sofas in the main lounge were very saggy and could have done with a good servicing. The kitchen was really well equipped with lots of utensils and cutlery. This is something I have had issue with at other large properties but not here. Beware that a security deposit is required directly to the owner rather than a hold on your credit card via Booking.com (despite booking.com sending me email opposite to this, this is a booking.com issue rather than with the owner). There was a large party of us plus a big dog and we never felt cramped. The grounds were just superb for the kids (and the big kids) to play in. Overall very happy to recommend this property.

Plas Gwynfryn was a lovely spacious property.

It was very comfortable. The grounds and the views are amazing. It was also so easy to walk into Llanbedr and to get to Harlech and other local attractions. Caroline was very welcoming and clearly cares about people enjoying their stay.

We were warmly welcomed and said goodbye by Caroline.

The house and the garden are fantastic and we could enjoy the tranquility of this place. We were 17 people between the ages of 1.5 and 63 and had to look for each other in the house or garden from time to time. So we had enough space. A heartfelt thank you to Caroline and we hope to be able to enjoy another year's holiday in this wonderful place.

A spacious, functional and interesting house set in the most beautiful grounds.

Walking distance from the house to the village and pubs and also paths to many short walks. The area is gorgeous with beaches, mountains and castles. We were a group of twelve with many keen walkers amongst us and can recommend The Coastal Path, The Waterfalls walk as well as Cader Idris for the more adventurous. The weather was mixed but a day spent at Plas Gwynfryn reading or playing games is no hardship and usually the sun came out at some point and then it was games on the lawns or perhaps an evening stroll.

Fantastic.

Brilliant. Amazing. Nothing more to say.

The Sykes details state that there is a shower in the downstairs toilet, which is not the case.

Beautiful house and gardens with overall good facilities.

Some of the soft furnishings are ready to be replaced. Luckily we found the cause of the smell in the family bedroom, as previous guests had left chicken in one of the draws! Great part of the world and we would love to return next year.

We had a fantastic family holiday at this beautiful house.

The grounds are amazing too. We had 3 generations and it suited all ages, the children (and adults)loved playing hide and seek in the huge house! If there had been a downstairs bedroom for people with mobility issues it would have been perfect

This has to be one of the nicest places I’ve stayed, there were 15 of us and every room was comfortable and had everything we needed, the grounds were simply amazing and the kitchen facilities were great.

Thank you so much, precious memories made that will last a lifetime

Excellent holiday.

Fantastic house and gardens. Would definitely book again.

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.

Beautiful house in a stunning setting.

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.

Amazing house, beautiful grounds, excellent location!

We had a fantastic stay and Caroline couldn't have been more helpful. Thank you! x

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.

Beautiful house in a great location.

......Caroline is a great host , very friendly and helpful

This is a lovely place to stay.

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.

This house is amazing, absolutely beautiful, with a mix of old and new.

The house is equipped with everything you would need for a get away and the hospitality was brilliant. It's close by to shops and pubs and the nearby walks are stunning.

Excellent house for family celebration.

Lots of space Kitchen well equipped and bedrooms lovely . Plenty of room for 15 plus dog and Caroline really helpful about information about the area which is beautiful

Fantastic house & gardens.

No need to go out to look for something to do

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.

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 ;)

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 :)

Excellent Caroline was really lovely and helpful, plenty to do around the area, grounds are lovely to walk around, played murder mystery at the manor which was brilliant with the setting the house is in, well worth a visit .

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!

The house and grounds are simply outstanding and yet Plas provided a home for 16 of us young and old to enjoy!

Wonderful, liveable, special place x

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.

Stunning venue!

I would strongly recommend this place to anyone! The grounds are just wonderful and we will be going back.

A perfect setting for a family holiday.

Accommodation was special. An overall rewarding holiday with lasting memories.
