Lovely farmhouse, beautifully restored. Comfortable space for a family stay of 14. Great sized hottub and lovely views over the countryside. Its remote but Not far from local shops and amenities by car.

My family and I stayed here for my 70th birthday celebrations, and wow what a beautiful house everything about it was first class ,we all thoroughly enjoyed the house we were all sad to leave . The owner was very helpful and most kind. We as a family will definitely be making a return visit to the lovely Plas Lolyn

We recently stayed as a group of 10. We had such a lovely time, beautiful surroundings, great location, fantastic hot tub and very comfortable beds. The host was very friendly, welcoming and accommodating which made our stay more memorable.

Jacqui

What a fabulous stay. The house beautifully catered for our group aged 3 to 98. Thoughtfully and sympathetically renovated to a high spec that my husband particularly appreciated! The house was immaculate, stunning views, especially from the hot tub but most importantly Iona was a wonderful host. This was our fourth annual family gathering, and this place has been voted the best yet from all 14 members of the family! Thank you Iona and family!

We loved our stay at this beautiful house. The kitchendining area worked so well for our group of 12 adults. Rooms were lovely, clean and beds so comfortable. We will be booking again for next year.

Great accommodation and facilities. We stayed as a group of 14 adults, and there was ample space for all of us. Lovely views and quiet area. Owners responded quickly when we needed more of certain amenities. We will definitely be returning in the future.

Louise

An incredible place to stay and a very warm welcome from our hosts. All bedrooms are spacious and comfortable. The kitchen is the best equipped kitchen weve ever had in a holiday home. Games facilities and hot tub were a real plus with adults and children. Views were beautiful. We would all stay there again.

What a fantastic property. Big thanks to Iona who was always on hand if we needed help. Great Hot Tub. Brilliant games room. Perfect location for BetwsyCoed and surrounding attractions.

A lovely location and exceptional facilities. Really enjoyable stay.

WE had a wonderful time at Plas lolyo, went with my 4 children their partners and 8 grandchildren, they loved the space, hot tub was a big hit. the views are stunning would fully recommend a stay here.

Philippa

Beautifully appointed farm house, well equipped kitchen, and very friendly helpful owner. Good location to explore snowdonia. Ground floor bedroom accessible but has small step into shower so not suitable for full time wheelchair users. ADUK qualified and registered assistance dog was able to stay ground floor and we watched him in the garden as there were farm cats around and fence not fully secure. Great place for a gathering of families and ages .

Daniel

Absolutely fabulous stay! The house was situated in a lovely rural location, very clean and plenty of space for 13 of us! Also close by for our activities around Snowdonia. Couldn't fault it and will definitely recommend! Thanks!!

I've had a fantastic time here with my family celebrating my 70th birthday. Three generations aged from 5 years to 72. The house was beyond my expectations, large and roomy for all of us yet had a cosy welcoming feeling. We all fitted around the enormous dining table for our meals cooked in the kitchen which had everything we needed and more. Choosing who had which bedroom was easy as each one was outstanding. The owner responded to my few questions immediately, she is very friendly and helpful. She even brought a newborn lamb over for the children to see and cuddle. The games room was used every day along with the under cover hot tub, especially amazing during the evening when the lights are on and the moon is shining. The views are beautiful. I have never stayed in a property as clean as this, just immaculate and very well presented. I hope to return one day.

Nicola

We 3 generations loved our stay at Plas Iolyn! The property was spacious, clean and comfortable. The games room was a great bonus. We had glorious weather so we were able to enjoy lots of lovely walks from our doorstep and then relax in the hot tub. Thank you to Iona for all your help and the lovely gift hamper too. We hope to return x

We loved our stay at Plas Lolyn. The house is perfect for a family get together. It was spacious but still cosy. Spotlessly clean and very comfy beds. Iona was always on hand if we needed anything. 4 of the bedrooms having an ensuite was a real bonus. Being a family from age 6 to 99, we always have a long list of requirements and this house met every one of them. Great holiday

What an amazing place, the most beautiful holidays home Ive ever stayed in and we will definitely be coming back.

Wonderful stay at this gorgeous house. Couldnt fault anything.

Just returned from a gorgeous long weekend for a 70th family get together. We couldnt have asked for more, a lovelyclean house, with every potpanutensil you can imagine. Just perfect, made even more special by Iona surprising us on check out with a visit from a day old Lamb. Will definitely be staying again! Thank you!

Absolutely beautiful place! We stayed at Christmas with the family and would highly recommend the cottage.

Beverley

Great property and exactly as described.

Rebecca

Great cottage. Very clean and had everything we needed. We loved staying at this cottage and would love to visit again

What a wonderful house, with amazing views. Everything you could ever need, and spotlessly clean. Beds are really comfy too. The whole group celebrating our 50th birthday want to return. 6 seater hot tub, pool table and a pub about 15 mins walk away. No shops in walking distance, but we had a supermarket delivery to stock up with essentials.Thank you to the owner Iona.

A lovely cottage for a group of adults, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Rebecca

We had such a fabulous stay for my mums 60th! The owner was so accommodating when we arrived early with our baby too! The house was a perfect location to drive to all the nearby sites. Im sure we will be back, highly recommend.

What a beautiful place to stay with family. We had a ball. Plas Iolyn has everything you need. Its clean and comfortable. Highly recommend!!

A fantastic place to stay. Had all the amenities you need. Super clean on arrival. Perfect for a family holiday for all ages

Beautiful place to stay. We were a group Of 12 with age range 6 to 83 and there was plenty to keep us all happy and well looked after. Its a great location tucked away in beautiful countryside but also close to Betwsycoed and also Lake Bala. We did Snowdon and Cadir Idris plus a visit to the coast on Anglesey. Wish we could have stayed longer. Would thoroughly recommend Plas Iolyn to all and the kids are already asking to go back.

Claire

Superb property in a beautiful area. A party of 7 adults and 3 teenagers stayed here for a week in July 2024 we found that all our requirements were catered for. Plenty of inside and outside space made for an excellent holiday. The hot tub and the games room were well used. The beds were very comfortable and the bathrooms spotless with plenty of hot water. Loads to do in the area Snowdon obviously but also emountain biking in Betwsycoed, zip wiring, target sports at Llangollen. Excellent pub with food within easy walking distance. Iona could not have been more helpful providing any additional things we needed.

Elaine

We really enjoyed our weeks holiday. The house was beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed .It was fun exploring the area, going on long walks then returning to the peace and quiet of the farm.

Home was just as described, the owners were easily available if we needed them. We had a wonderful time with family, facilities were excellent

Stuart

House was brilliant, great family layout, location was remote yet amazing and spotless! A gem, we will be back!

Carole

Great hen weekend good outdoor space and a lovely cottage with great facilities. Plenty of room for all 14 of us to party.

Sophie

Beautiful property in the welsh countryside. Spotlessly clean and well equipped for the number of guests. All the rooms were a great size and very comfortable. We visited as a group of girls and found lots to do with plenty of walks or activities close by. We are already planning our next trip with spouses and children.

What a beautiful cottage. The beds were so comfortable, the facilities are perfect. Great for any special occasion.

Just had an amazing weekend here for my Hen party. The cottage was perfect, in immaculate condition everyone commented how lovely it was. The owner couldnt do enough for you and came to introduce herself but we was also left to it after which was great. The surroundings are beautiful wish we could have stayed for longer. Would defintley stay here again
