Plas Meini Estate

As a family group consisting of 5 adults, we decided to spend New Year's Eve 2022 in Snowdonia. All of us were keen to get away from it all, and we were certainly ready for a post-Christmas break. We booked into the Play Meini Estate, staying in the Cottage and the Garden Room for 3 nights. It really was memorable in all respects. I have to say that the estate website is excellent but it really doesn't do the site justice. The accommodation, the scenery and the hospitality all far exceed expectations. We found it very difficult to pick fault with any aspect of our stay at all. From the outset we were warmly welcomed by Andrew and the initial impressions that we formed were extremely positive. Having driven in over the mountain roads, through the National Park we were quite excited about the next few days. We had little trouble finding the estate, car parking was no problem, and Andrew was there to welcome us on arrival. Initial concerns about a lack of phone signal were immediately dispelled by the presence of a good wifi signal for those who felt the need. We had brought groceries and supplies, and there was a nice welcome pack in the cottage. The kitchen, like the entire complex was extremely clean and comprehensively equipped. We lacked nothing at all. The interior decoration of the cottage and all of the other buildings has been done to an outstanding level. It is obvious that a lot of thought has gone into the design and layout of every room. The decor and furniture has all been done to the highest standard - no cast offs, or second hand furniture to be seen. The kitchen like the rest of the cottage was equipped to the highest standards. We also had the added benefit of tasteful Christmas decorations. All of the buildings had really good wood burners and a generous supply of logs which we made good use of during our stay. At no point did any of us feel that we were lacking anything that we needed for our stay. The terrace outside, the hot tub, and the handy porch to change footwear etc were all ideally sighted and equipped. The estate sits in the National Park, you can venture out onto footpaths directly from the cottage, there are walks in abundance. The North Wales coast, Bala Lake and the Snowdonia Park are all within easy reach. If you want all of that and spectacular views from your private terrace or garden, this is really the place for you. Altogether, a faultless review - We loved it and will be going back again!

We spent New Years in the Barn. This accommodation was beautifully renovated and boasted the most amazing views. When you read "luxury" on the description you imagine the standard to be high, but this is really beyond that. The pictures don't do it justice. I can't explain the feeling of tranquility you get from this place. it truly is magical and well worth a visit. Thankyou to the most wonderful of hosts Andrew. We will definitely be back :)

Stayed in Barn over new year. Very relaxing place with amazing views across the valley and mountains beyond. Property recently renovated to a very high standard whilst at the same time keeping a lot of original features and character. Would definitely stay again.

We have just come back from a long weekend staying in "The Stables". What a beautifully restored living space in stunning surrounds. 3 large (ensuite) bedrooms, each with incredibly comfortable beds (ours were made up as king sized doubles but could be split apart into singles), a great sized kitchen and living area, great big soft fluffy towels, cosey duvets and well stocked crockery/cutlery etc. The views from the patio area are sublime and can be enjoyed rather nicely from the hot tub!! The grounds of the Estate are lovely and you can take a wander into the woods and along the river to view the waterfalls. Very conveniently located for so many places - Porthmadoc and Portmerion, Betws Y Coed, Conwy, Llandudno, Snowdon... A beautiful place to stay, highly recommend.
