Plas Dinas Country House

We only stayed one night and had absolutely flawless service. Everyone we met was slightly eccentric, full of character and shared brilliant local information. Daniel, the owner sorted out a very small problem very quickly and we enjoyed an incredible peaceful night in the lovely cottage rooms. After climbing the Snowdon in the day, - we were supper hungry and the dinner that night really was wonderful. Presented beautifully and utterly delicious. Would highly recommend.

The experience starts as you meander up the drive and get your first glimpse of the grounds and the house: quite lovely. We arrived after a long day of touring and driving, and after a fast check in, were ushered into the main lounge for a pot of tea. People were there for afternoon tea which we didn’t have, but it looked delicious and it meant the lounge had a nice chatty vibe to it. We did a quick tour of the grounds and loved the blue bells and wild garlic behind the house. We stayed in the Major and the room is very well appointed - we would recommend reading the information on the size of beds as 4’ 6” was tight and that’s on me. It is quiet and you are guaranteed a quiet night. Dinner is excellent and we opted for the 7.30 drink/canape/8pm start instead of 5.30/6, which meant that as we sat in the lounge, some of the earlier diners were retiring to the lounge which again meant it was full, which gave it a nice vibe. The Gunroom is small and intimate and quite lovely. All of the 8 courses were beautifully cooked and none of the portions were too large, meaning you didn’t fear being able to eat and enjoy it all. The wine list is excellent in breadth, quality and price - we had two halve bottles. Retired to the lounge for coffee which we had to ourselves. You could happily sit in the sofas and read a book or just relax. Breakfast was delicious - do fill in the form the night before to save time - and the choice is good and the quality excellent. A mention to the team who look after you: helpful, attentive but not bothering you, and have got the service level spot on. Different teams naturally from afternoon/evening service to morning, but the same high standard. In summary, we really enjoyed our visit and highly highly recommend here. We would go back just to experience a different seasonal menu, and just to chill out. But will choose a room with a slightly bigger bed 😃

A wonderful building with lovely grounds and interesting history with Royal connections. The views of Anglesey across the Menai and view of the Snowden range (sorry: yr Wyddfa). We had a very nice supper served by the wonderful Chloe - she was very attentive and careful about looking after us well. Well done. The food was super. Diolch.
