to get started.

I arrived on a cold, damp day to the warmest of welcomes and a truly gorgeous room. Every little detail was wonderfully thought out from the pet welcome pack including a towel and bag of treats to the delicious pieces of fudge as a treat for me. A huge bed that was really comfortable and surrounded by fabulous furniture and art. I felt completely underdressed the whole time being surrounded by so many paintings of the Armstrong-Jones family and photographs of members of the royal family. The breakfast was delicious and filling.

Welcomed with a log fire, great in the winter. Good selection of drinks in the late night honesty bar Excellent array of quality products in the room, bathroom The little things matter and a selection of the "forgotten" items was on hand Teas and coffee were excellent quality with a little extra supplied as well

The luxury touches. The history of the accommodation and all of the art and features that supported this. Really different to your ‘stock’ hotel!

Lovely hotel with beautifully decorated rooms, very clean and homely. Food was fantastic, particularly the evening set menu was superb!

Adam

Plas Dinas is a wonderful old style country house. It is beautifully finished and has preserved its historic origins. The room we stayed in was very comfortable and the breakfast was excellent.

Met Paula, the General Manager of Plas Dinas, who was extremely warm and inviting and made us feel very welcome. If you're lucky, you may also meet her Irish wolfhound wandering around the property in true morning. He's a very gentle boy (or girl). The breakfast was extremely delicious and well prepared. My most favourite was the very nice smelly shampoo and conditioner that they stocked. We ended up purchasing Milton Brown at the airport on our flight back home.

Gloria

A charming property in great condition. Friendly and helpful staff, and great breakfasts. Be aware that their restaurant is not open for dinner on Sunday and Monday nights, and that the property is some distance from Caernarfon.

Quint and comfortable country house off the beaten path in the Lake District. Staff are exceptionally accommodating and responsive.

Daniel and Annie

Plas Dinas is very much a country home, often described by guests as feeling more like spending a weekend with a wealthy relative, relaxed but not pretentious, in beautiful surroundings.

Owners Daniel and Annie Perks have many years of hospitality experience which has created a unique setting on the borders of Snowdonia.

Plas Dinas is perfectly located to explore the popular Snowdonia region. The hills and mountains around Llanberis, Betws-y-coed and Beddgelert are a short drive away, perfect for walkers and adventurous cyclists. The Royal Town of Caernarfon, with its majestic castle is but a 5 minute drive away as are the beaches of Dinas Dinhle and the Menai Strait. The Isle of Anglesey is visible from many of our rooms with award winning beaches just a short drive away. The spectacular Lleyn Peninsula and the towns of Abersoch and Aberdaron are also within easy reach. Motorway access is excellent with motorway all the way to the nearby town of Bangor providing convenient access to Chester, the Midlands, Manchester and the M6. Just a short drive from Plas Dinas you will find many wonderful attractions that offer high adrenaline experiences including Zip World, Rib Ride, Go Below and Tree Tops Adventures. For the pilots out there, why not fly into Caernarfon Airport which is about 8 - 10 minutes drive from us and visible from our garden.

“A wonderful place to stay in style while exploring a beautiful part of Wales.”

I was urged to try the restaurant but was quite shocked by the prices and the pricing structure - and the tiny quantities of food that such hefty prices supplied. The snack in the drawing room on the first night (when the restaurant was closed) was more substantial and much better value.

The bathroom ceiling was low in places and it was a mission to remember not to bang your head after cleaning your teeth! The garden was the only part of the property that hadn't been done up but as the new owners had only been there for about six months I'm assuming it's on their 'to do' list.
We stayed in the Lodge at the end of the driveway as we had dogs and there was a garden plus adjacent field for them. The price was the same as a room in the main house but we had our own kitchen, lounge, dining room and utility area which was brilliant.

Water pipes in the room were very loud anytime someone was using the water in the room but this was a minor inconvenience at worst. Checkout, whilst efficient, was a bit bumpy as was nearly charged a second time for the room despite having already payed on bookings.com
The room was wonderful, had everything you needed with nice complimentary touches. The bed was incredibly comfortable, good amount of space for two people. We had dinner at the hotel and the food was of incredible quality and I can highly recommend it. We didn't stay long for breakfast as had an early morning start but the food you could order seemed expansive even if the continental section seemed small.

The only thing that would have topped my stay would have been better weather so that I could have a walk in the lovely grounds around the Hotel hey ho early March weather is so unpredictable - the Hotel itself was perfect.
My stay at the Plas Dinas Country House was perfect in every way Daniel and the team provided exceptional service from the moment I arrived to the moment I departed. Brilliant breakfast and evening meal and the room itself was luxuriously appointed really impressed and would definitely stay here again.
