“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.

“We really liked staying at this charming cottage, it was a good size for two and comfortable.”

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.

“Sykes provides excellent information and reminders before the holiday which is really useful.”

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 loved every minute of our stay and would recommend Plas Madoc to everyone as a great getaway and well placed for seeing North Wales.

Miss Heppell September 2020

“Plas Madoc Lodge was very well presented and spotlessly clean.”

We had a wonderful stay . Elwyn the caretaker looked after us providing an endless supply of logs for the fire. Will be booking again next year .

“Peaceful location from which we could explore North Wales.”

Comfy cottage.

Mrs Greaves February 2020

“A really cosy little lodge.”

A great jumping off point for exploring Snowdonia and really friendly owners with lovely surprise touch of wine and flapjack on arrival. Really relaxing and a great stay.

“Perfect getaway from the rat race.”

Caretaker was great, nothing too much trouble.

Miss Dowd October 2019

“There has been a ongoing problem with heating when we stay in that the wall heaters in living room and bedroom don't work.”

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.

- Miss Dowd, October 2019
Mrs Cleaver October 2019

“Lovely lodge, much bigger than we expected.”

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.

- Mrs Cleaver, October 2019
Ms Roche September 2019

“We loved this property, especially its location being near to everything we wanted to see.”

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.

- Ms Roche, September 2019
Mrs Todd August 2019

“Particularly well equipped kitchen for kitchen pans and utensils.”

Close to main road which is not mentioned in web details, but inside cottage surprisingly quiet. Caretaker really does care and keen to rectify any problems. A lovely 19th century cottage, once the gatekeepers cottage for the Plas Madoc estate.

“Stunning holiday hide away.”

Perfect location. ...X fantastic X

“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.

“Het grootste nadeel van het huisje was dat het naast een drukke weg ligt en de voorkant op het oosten zodat het al gauw donker is in huis.”

Jammer, want het is een schattig huisje wat aan de rand ligt van een park met schapen voor je deur.

- , Sep 2017

Translated: The biggest disadvantage of the cottage was that it is next to a busy road and the front to the east so it is soon dark in the house. Too bad, because it's a cute little house on the edge of a park with sheep in front of your door.

Really lovely cottage, everything you could want to come 'home' to after a long walk (plus tiffin and wine on arrival) Really good location - lovely walk along the river (or by road if in a hurry) in to the town Really good kitchen, well stocked so you can actually cook (if you want to)

“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!

Would have been excellent if the bed had been firm was a little soft, but that was the only fault, the rest was excellent well equipped and comfortable, great base for touring around North Wales

About the location

CONWY VALLEY

Very interesting area, very differernt to its neighbour Snodonia. The river Conwy flows through as does the main railway line through from Llandudno to Blaenau Ffestiniog, used originally to carry slate. Visit the castle at Conway and the smallest house in Wales or pop along to Betws y Coed or Llanrwst, or join the North Wales Coastal path and head off towards Llanfairfechan. Plenty of nice eating places to choose from whereever you decide to visit.
