“Absolutely fantastic.”

Great communication, very well equipped. Elwyn, what a lovely man. We will definitely be back. Just 1 small suggestion, maybe some tea or coffee sachets for arrival? After a long drive I would have preferred to just relax rather than find the shops immediately. But as I said, well located, well presented. 11/10

“Once again we have had a wonderful holiday, and stayed for a second time at the lovely little cottage, Plas Madoc Lodge.”

It’s a lovely location, and has everything you could need. We have decided we shall be booking it again for a holiday there next summer..

Ronald May 2022

“Loved the holiday and Elwyn seemed a nice bloke the only thing missing for me was a list of places to visit and things to do especially locally.”

But enjoyed our holiday, loved the lodge.

- Ronald, May 2022
James April 2022

“We really enjoyed Plas Madoc Lodge and would have happily stayed longer.”

Elwyn went out of his way to be helpful and friendly - nothing seemed too much trouble. The only thing I'd improve was the lighting in the kitchen.

- James, April 2022
Ian April 2022

“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.

Alan March 2022

“Pro Nice place, lovely log burner and supplies.”

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.

“Lovely property, the private driveway for walking the dogs straight from the door is beautiful and just perfect.”

- Victoria, March 2022
Paul March 2022

“This is a lovely property really cosy and clean we loved our stay and they made us very comfortable the was only one issue and that was the noise of the traffic passing the property throughout the night but I’m not sure what you could do about that but the ambiance of the place more than compensated for that I would definitely recommend this to friends and would return in the future lots of nice touches like the £10 voucher for us to spend in the local spar.”

Thanks for a lovely break

Venetia January 2022

“A wonderful place to stay.”

Quirky, peaceful and picturesque. Elwyn caretaker a Welsh gent, helpful and very knowledgeable. He contacted us the day before saying cottage is ready and we could arrive early if we wished. We cannot express highly enough how much we enjoyed our stay. Regards William

Juliette January 2022

“The best holiday let we have ever stayed in!”

Everything was very clean and so well maintained and the lodge just has a lovely authentic feel. Walk to town from the lodge was just under 20min. We would love to come back again in the future!

- Juliette, January 2022
Trevor October 2021

“This is such a lovely little Lodge, set in lovely rural surroundings on the edge of Snowdonia National Park, very convenient location.”

It was very clean and had everything we needed. Elwyn the caretaker was very helpful and friendly and on hand if we needed anything. We had a lovely holiday and would recommend it to others.

Kenneth September 2021

“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.

- Kenneth, September 2021
Claire July 2021

“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.

- Claire, July 2021
Sarah May 2021

“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.

Victoria April 2021

“We have had a wonderful holiday in snowdonia in another Sykes cottage.”

Marie 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 .

Georgina 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.

Christopher November 2019

“Perfect getaway from the rat race.”

Caretaker was great, nothing too much trouble.

- Christopher, November 2019
Diane 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.

- Diane, October 2019
Claire 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.

- Claire, October 2019
Sally 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.

- Sally, September 2019
Christine 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.

Helen Williams Jul 2018

“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.

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)

- Elisabeth Hoverd-Malcolm, Aug 2017
Jonathan Jul 2016

“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

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.
