What a fantastic family place! We all had a wonderful week in the beautiful environment of 'Plas Newydd'. We thoroughly enjoyed the fabulous pool and spent many hours in it! Whistling Sands Beach, Aberdaron, Abersoch and local environmental education centre all great to visit. Can't wait to bring the family back!
Brilliant! What a fantastic cottage! We were celebrating our 40th anniversary with our children and grandchildren. We were lucky to have wonderful weather every day. Everything was great!
Thank you so much for a lovely staying your 'farmhouse'. Everything was super, same with all the family, our first holiday with our granddaughter, Isla (5 months). Collected apples off the tree and we made several apple crumbles and stewed apples to have with our porridge (no sugar require) loved the gare. Tia our (Staffie/lurcher cross) dog loved being able to run about and drink from the stream. P.S. Recommend the local farm eggs and when you turn right out of the gate, at the next junction turn right over the tops to Hells Mouth.
We had a great time, thank you. The house was fantastic and full of thoughtful finishing touches. Brilliant to come home to the Aga after a cold day. Thank you.
The Cottage is fabuous and very well-equipped. It was very clean and is situated in a lovely location. We all enjoyed days by the pool along with a couple of days out at the local beaches. Lots of memories with the family. Thank you.
If you've ever visited a holiday cottage before, you most likely have seen a guestbook in the property for guests to leave a review for others when they arrive. Each of the following comments was lovingly left by people just like you in the guestbook left at Plas Newydd.
We had a lovely week away, we were meant to be in our summer house in Sweden but due to COVID not able to. Wonderful cottage and pool. We had a blast. Thank you David and Jo.
Another lovely holiday at Plas Newydd- thank you so much Jo & Dave, Such a lovely house and well cared for. Weather mixed but still managed to eat outside, plenty of garden yoga and workouts, great cycling and walking the coast track. We will be back.
Thank you for a lovely family holiday. The owners and housekeepers could not have been more helpful. When there was no cafetiere, one was ordered and delivered the next day and we received a helpful response immediately. We also really appreciated the stash of children's books that were available. We would absolutely recommend the cottage to friends and family. It made for a wonderful family holiday and we leave with cherished memories.
The whole family came for a family Christmas...wonderful time. The house fitted our needs. Well equipped and very warm. We all had a wonderful time. Thank you
We've had an amazing week. Our boys (1,3 & 6) loved the pool and it was great to see their confidence grow. Loved being able to cook on the aga. Aberdaron was lovely to visit for ice cream and Whistling beach was beautiful, Gutted, there; no availability next year in the summer holidays. Would definitely come back again and will be looking at booking for 2021 when we get home. And, yes I know it's sad, but I'm very happy to be going home with clean clothes, very happy with the facilities. Thank you
