Plas Iolyn Reviews

Iona house is just incredible, its so beautiful as soon as you drive up the drive and see the view you are wowed! Everything is perfect its so comfortable the beds, the sofas, the chairs everything! Plates mugs etc all of great quality. The kitchen is laid out so well the welcome pack was such a lovely treat. We had the most amazing family holiday there was 14 of us in total and we still felt like we had plenty of space. The hot tub is amazing with those views its just idilic. We took a walk to the pub one evening which was a very easy walk. We found this house because we decided we wanted to go to zipworld. Im so glad we found it we didnt want to leave. Would love to return.

We had the most amazing time The views were incredible It was very relaxing and peaceful The house was a very high spec and very well looked after The amenities were brilliant The owner was very welcoming and friendly on hand The games room was a lovely touch and we used this We would definitely return

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.

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

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!

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

Philip

A beautiful house with every amenity and facility that you could want. The owner, Iona was lovely and there if we needed her. The welcome hamper was a lovely thought. Beds very comfortable, kitchen well equipped and plenty of space for the 10 of us. Hot Tub and Games Room were a great asset to the holiday. Would strongly recommend.

Robert

Fabulous house in wonderful setting. We enjoyed the hot tub and play room. The house is really spacious, comfortable and warm. Great kitchen for catering and a table to accommodate all our family of fourteen. The farm itself is full of character and the owner really helpful and friendly.

What a beautiful property! We had an amazing week at Plas Iolyn. The local area was fantastic for walks and we ventured into Betws Y Coed for a look around the shops. You dont need to leave the house however, it is so wellequipped. The games room and hot tub kept everyone entertained and the lawned area at the front of the property was perfect for outdoor games. The log burner in the second sitting room was a very toasty touch! The house itself was equipped with every single appliancepiece of kitchen equipment you could possibly want, Iona truly has thought of everything. It is finished to an incredibly high standard and was immaculately clean throughout. All of the guests commented on the lovely bedrooms and comfortable beds having linen and towels provided was helpful too. Iona left a beautiful Welsh hamper for us to enjoy which was a lovely touch. This property is perfect for all ages and we cannot wait to return. Thank you for a fantastic week away!

Isabelal

It was all lovely, everything was perfect and a great size for the group! It's a shame about being unable to check out slightly later. The owner's were so helpful with everything we needed!

Joseph

We had a fantastic weekend with all the family celebrating my husbands 60th birthday. Kids absolutely loved it and didnt want to go home. Everything was there that we needed and more. I would definitely go back again and recommend it to all my friends 100

It was perfect a really special early Christmas

Had an amazing weekend at Plas Lolyn with family members with ages ranging from 7 months to 60 years. Scenery around the property is stunning. The property is finished to a very high standard, beds were so comfortable and the kitchen was stocked with everything you could possibly need. The owners live on site and are there if you need anything but leave you alone to enjoy your stay. One of our guests asked for an extension lead which was dropped off straight away. The welcome basket was a nice touch thank you. We all enjoyed the hot tub and the games room. Cannot wait to return for another stay

Dallas

We had a wonderful week at Plas Iolyn. We are a family group of ten, with ages ranging from 8 to 75 and we were all very happy. The house was warm, spacious and peaceful it was beautifully furnished and the beds were wonderful.The large hot tub and games room were very popular. Iona, the owner, was very friendly and responded to our requests promptly. She even with the help of her children judged our annual pumpkin carving competition. The house is well placed for the many activities the area has to offer.

Catherine

The house and rooms are so much bigger in real life than in the pictures. Every bathroom is finished to a high standard, it's a gorgeous house. The dining table is incredible for a large group of people and the games room is a great addition. Only feedback would be that we were only left with 2 dishwasher tablets which isn't enough for 12 people for 2 nights3days. We would have washed by hand but were left with only a tiny drop of already watered down washing up liquid.

This farm house is outstanding! We have just stayed here for 3 nights and had the best time. Everything was top notch and very homely. We were welcomed with a lovely hamper which was a lovely surprise and the owner couldn't do enough for us. Would definitely return xxx

Dominic

The hosts were fantastic, the venue was amazing! It was clean, tidy, modern and very homely. We stayed for 5 days and don't have a bad thing to say about the venue! Lots of local attractions and places to visit as reccomended by the hosts and we wouldn't hesitate to return or reccomend friends to visit! 1010!
