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.

United KingdomPlas 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.
AustraliaMet 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.
AustraliaA 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.
CanadaQuint and comfortable country house off the beaten path in the Lake District. Staff are exceptionally accommodating and responsive.

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.
