We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Plas Penaeldroch Manor. The hospitality was truly exceptional; the staff was warm, accommodating, and made us feel incredibly welcome from the moment we arrived.
The entire property was immaculately clean and well-maintained. Traveling with our two boys and our dog can sometimes be challenging, but the comfortable and spotless environment made our stay completely stress-free. It was the perfect base for our trip to Snowdonia. We highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a high-quality stay in North Wales!

We had an amazing stay here. The rooms were lovely and the beds very comfortable. We loved the suite with its living area and the breakfast was delicious. The hosts could not have done more. So friendly and helpful. They also had lots of games and toys and a garden which were great for the kids.

Perfect hosts in an amazing building!

You would struggle to find more genuine, hospitable and friendly people than Carrie and Mike.

Outside there is plenty of parking and beautiful grounds.
Step inside, the rooms are generous, clean and with everything you could need.

The breakfasts are lovely and nothing is too much.

We will definitely be back, thank you!

Excellent stay, attentive & welcoming hosts

We only stayed for one night as a family of 6. Mick was there to welcome us as we arrived. Our suite was lovely clean and looked cosy. The rooms had lovely views across the river. There is a lot of noise from the river which is slightly lessoned by shutting the windows, but i found it soothing and its easy to tune out. There was complimentary fruit and sweets wating for us, which thrilled the kids. There were clear instructions on how to use everything. There is intersting pictures and art around the building and there is a folder showing all the removations done on the property. Breakfast was satisfying and more than enough with Mick and Carrie on hand to make things as smooth as possible. They were also very helpful with advice about food places and ppaces to visit. Overall it was an excellent stay. I only wished we stayed longer. The only suggestion i have for mick and carrie would be to make the double bed have the attached ensuite rather than the twin beds. There is also a resident dog and cat

We stayed at the property for 3 days and loved it. Mike and Carrie who own this property are a fabulous host and they made sure our stay is fully comfortable. My boys loved it when they chocolates on the day we were climbing the Snowdon mountain. The property is situated at a very good location not far from Betws-y-coed and the great part is Mike and Carrie have so well maintained the original character of this manor. We 100% recommend staying at this place.

We have stayed here in the past and loved it and this time was the same. It was lovely to see Carrie Mike and Lola the dog. Their passion for the hotel is amazing and their ideas for the future make us excited to return and see all the progress. For us it’s in a prefect location as it’s a little out of the villages but close enough to get to things by car. There are lovely walks around if you want something more peaceful but again close enough to places like zip world. Thank you for a lovely stay

11 out of 10! There were four of us--two teens, myself (the mom) and my dad. I had a bit of a time finding reasonable accommodation that would fit us all, but the top floor suite was perfect! With two bathrooms, two bedrooms and a pullout sofa bed, everyone had their own bed (very comfortable beds too!) and space. My teens loved the welcome snacks (they were delicious and gone in a flash), plus we were welcomed kindly when we checked in and asked what we would like to drink. Perfect after a long day outside. There is a full kitchen and they have an excellent selection of teas, a nice espresso set up, and many other drink options. We asked about local walking trails and received excellent recommendations. You can walk right out the door and off you go. You can even take an old Roman road to Betws-y-coed. We took a long meander in the morning and then my son opted for the full breakfast, which he said was delicious. We will definitely stay again when we return to Wales. Thank you!!

Mike and Carrie are quite experts providing useful tips about where to go and what to do in Snowdonia.

Cold breakfast itself is very nice, but strongly recommend to have hot meals served by Mike. Nobody can help loving Penaeldroch!

Please don't let the external construction turn you off from one of the best places to have as a vacation base for Snowdonia. Their pup Lola is the best hospitality manager around.

We had a family room - 2 bed/2 bath that was perfect. Leaving the windows open we could hear the river below the property. Will definitely be going back.

We arrived around 7pm after a long drive we were greeted by a very warm welcome. The hotel was in a beautiful setting in a valley with a river below.
Situated very close to amenities shops and restaurants.
The apartments were very comfortable, the one we hired had two double bedrooms one with ensuite and a main bathroom with a large lounge. The breakfast was amazing using local ingredients would definitely recommend going for a cooked one if you are having an active day. I would recommend and would stay there again.

A very enchanting family weekend trip to Wales

We stayed here on Saturday 29th January - all 5 of us, 2 adults, 3 kids in one of the Penaeldroch Manor suites. Carrie and her husband (David I believe) couldn't be any more welcoming and helpful. We were cooked a wonder breakfast on Sunday morning that catered for all needs, including fussy children. The accommodation overlooks stunning scenery and the pleasant sound of the river is very relaxing. The suite itself was huge, much bigger than we expected and it wanted for nothing, extremely clean, warm and cosy. We will definitely be staying again later in the year. I have stayed in at least 4 different hotels and guest houses in the Betsw-y-coed area over the last 4 years and this is by far the most accessible, child friendly and spacious, really outstanding.

Excellent comfortable stay.

Very relaxed atmosphere the hosts were kind and let us use the dining room when we had a takeway.
It was very dark when we arrived so struggled to see the area and location, due to low lights but we managed to get there. In the daylight, we could see the snowcapped mountain which was really nice. The property is undergoing refurb so i am sure it will be fantastic when completed. The manor has lots of character, but alot of work so am really amazed how the owners manage all this even during the lockdowns.
We had full use of the whole floor, 2 bedrooms and a sitting room which was sufficient for a family of 5. There were alot of space and comfort. However it would be good to have a small dining table or something that could fold away (as we wanted to play board games).
Breakfast was plentiful, we were able to choose hot breakfast with little charge which was very reasonable.

From the off, Mike and Carrie were very friendly and made us feel at home. They were extremely helpful with any queries we had. Despite us being a little unlucky with the weather on some of the days, we enjoyed spending time together in the spacious suites which were in good condition and clean.
