very clean. good room

the location is not so good.
Debra from Enumclaw, WA, US (Group of work colleagues) 29 September 2008
The hosts were fantastic - they made us not only comfortable and welcome but gave us great information. We loved them. There staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Our room was beautiful and our view of the water and marina first rate.

The room and view were great. Ivan and Isabel are marvelous

instant coffee is the only bad point - for a hotel of your calibre it was really a surprise as everything else was first rate.

I felt it was very poor and far below what I would expect for the price charged. The whole place and staff need a major make over. It is a great shame as the location is good and they could no doubt do something decent or actually quite good if they tried
(107198290)

nice location and it was a place to stay but nothing more

Everything else. Room was poor "DIY" decor, blind had not been cleaned in years, staff poor, food terrible. I am amazed this hotel has any stars. It was really very poor indeed.

Staff very nice but everyone running about doing all jobs. eg., receptionist doing the cooking and the bar!

We found the hotel very good value for money. New facilities for divers and sailors being added for 2009, so it should improve even more.
(97054834)

This is a family run hotel, family being the key word. Very helpful staff and the owners couldn't be more helpful. I would highly recommend as very good value for money, especially as it had an indoor swimming pool. The only meal we had in the hotel was breakfast and again good value for money.

We had a twin room in a small block away from the main hotel. This was ideal for us, but it is very basic, albeit clean and comfortable. At

A nice hotel but do you need more staff? It's on the brink of being a good hotel.

Comfortable hotel with good pool. Friendly staff.

No information about breakfast etc. in the annexe. Service slow. Also no reply when I emailed the hotel beforehand.

Staff were helpful. Unfortunately the swimming pool was out of action, and it was partly because of the availability of the pool that we chose this hotel.

Plenty of space and well cleaned and maintained. Having all Freeview channels available on the TV was an improvement on most hotels we've been to recently.

It was noicy late at night as our room was above the bar

This was the first stay at this hotel with a key business client, on check in we were immediately asked with no prompting would we like an upgrade to the Penthouse suite with two double en suite bedrooms. I have travelled before with this client and we agreed. The suite was huge with fantastic views. The staff could not have been more friendly and helpful, I would be more than happy to recommend this hotel to anyone and in fact my client is considering taking his wife for a break! Thank you to all the staff!!

Excellent room with more than adequate amenities when sharing with a key customer, we were give a suite with 2 double en suite bedrooms!
ann vanessa from Sale Moor, GB (Solo leisure traveller) 10 January 2008
I didn't read any in depth information about the hotel before I went, so the whole style was something of a surprise, my room in particular.The sheer size of it, together with the weather, defeated the central heating, but there were 2 portable heaters provided.
I enjoyed my stay, it provided what I was looking for, in a beautiful area, already well known to me.
(97796696)

I had plenty of space in a pretty unusual room and 4 full sized patio windows, 2 of which overlooked the straits. It was very quiet, which was a bonus.There was also a kitchen area, which I hadn't expected.There was plenty of choice at breakfast and the service was quick and cheerful. There was private access from the outside, which was useful.

The bathroom was ok, if somewhat musty and for the time of year the bedding was a little optimistic! I'm sure there would have been more available, had I asked, but I travel prepared.The kitchen area was potentially useful, although the microwave plate was missing and initially little touches were missing, ie a cup for the complementary tea and coffee. A dishcloth and teatowel arrived on the next day. From a personal viewpoint, I would like to see curtains, at least on the doors leading back to the carpark, as the winds had obviously taken their toll on the vertical blind.However the curtains on the bedroom area helped with privacy.

We were made welcome from the moment we arived at the hotel and because of inclement weather we were allocated a different room to the original one that we had booked. The alternative accommodation was superior to the original one in every aspect and could not be faulted. Throughout our stay the staff and owners were only too happy to ensure that our stay was unforgettable. We would recommend this hotel to anyone who is considering staying in the area, without any hesitation whatsoever.

Nothing whatsoever.

Overall I was satisfied with the accommodation. The problem with noise mentioned above was more of an irritation than a full blown complaint.
(97366767)

Clean, tidy and warm

Unfortunately, there was a Christmas party booked for the night we stayed and our room was right above the bar, which meant it was just a little too noisy until the early hours.
James from Huntingdon Cambridgeshire, GB (Mature couple) 05 December 2007
As a regular user of hotels (business and pleasure) I was surprised to find that i was expected to pay for the whole stay upon the arrival night (appeared as if we were not trusted to settle our account when leaving).

Our room was comfortable and spacious. Breakfast room was pleasant and with excellent views over the Menai Straits

The odd arrangement for the bathroom (jutting out at an obtrusive angle)
Entrance area a little unkempt.
PHILLIPE from LASSAY LES CHATEAUX, FR (Mature couple) 03 December 2007
Although pleasant and friendly, serving staff were not very efficient, even when putting in an appearance. The management should take a holiday in France to see what customer service is all about.
(97022406)

Location and general appearance of hotel; Impressed by cleanliness of interior; Room Decor

Scrap yard at rear; Poor room lighting; general need for running repairs e.g. towel ring falling off, shower head loose, (tightened ourselves) poorly fitted toilet seat, Impossible to insert TV aerial lead into socket properly (very pooor picture) General lack of attention by staff, particularly at breakfast (uncleared tables, milk and fruit juices running out, request for order on first morning before we reached dining room and saw menu, too much extraneous noise - something like a washing machine or perhaps the swimming pool pump running all night, hammering and drilling in next room while taking beakfast

The hotel was quite adequate for our needs,but our room was not ready on arrival at 5.00.p.m. seemed to be only skeleton staff,but that could have been becuase of the time of year of our visit.

This hotel is in a lovely position but needs a little more attention to detail. Most staff were friendly but trying to do too many jobs at once and I had to wait 10 mins before I was served at the bar when there was nobody else waiting. Room was reasonably clean but dusty in places. Dinner was very good but I was surprised to be informed when my steak arrived that the peppercorn sauce promised had run out. Considering this was the only sauce offered with steak and I had ordered steak specifically I felt that this was a bit of a devil may care attitude and prehaps it would have been better to offer me an alternative.
I would return to this hotel but only after being assured that they had more staff who know what tey are doing and more care is taken in cleaning the rooms

Frayed around the edges

Nigel from Barnstaple, GB (Mature couple) 24 October 2007
On Saturday night the bar was busy and noisy - my wife was kept awake until 01:00 (am).
On Saturday night I was served with a lady guest's evening meal in error by the restaurant staff. The lady had ordered her food at least 1/2 hr before we arrived. The ladies husband had already received his meal.
The area to the rear could do with tidying up somewhat, it resembled a junk yard in places.

We only stayed one night on the way to the ferry at Holyhead. The hotel was a great location for this purpose, only 20 minutes away. We were extremely pleased with all aspects, probably the only problem was we were given too much to eat, although the food was very good. We would definitely return.

Breakfast on the Sunday (we left Monday morning) was a shambles, although we were refunded that breakfast and the Monday morning one as recommpense. Lack of a catcher and seater at breakfast was a significant contribution to the disorganisation, especially as half the breakfast wwas in one room and half in another, and staff did not expalain which bits were where. General feeling was that the satff were overwhelmed by the numbers and never recovered the situation. We would recommend the hotel if the issues above were corrected.

Spectacular views

1. No bedside lamps or over head lamps in our room, so having to get out of bed to switch off main light after reading, and also feeling around in the dark for the light switch in the middle of the night.
2. Decor in need of an overhaul, and removal or replacement of vertical blinds, which were for the most part broken.

we really enjoyed our weekend at this fantastic hotel. The pubs n restaurants nearby were friendly and food quality was fantastic however was a little disappointed to see advertised a piano but without a resident player i thought it would be romantic to bring my girlfriend here for a romantic piano player and was disappointed in the poor value for money of the breakfast but overall was a very enjoyable weekend thank you

the view was absolutely fantastic we stopped in the tower and it was great especially when the sun shone

As we only stayed overnight in the end instead of the two nights booked we did not sample the restaurant or any facilities other than our rooms. They were surface clean but a bit shabby in places. Any problems with the shower etc had been given a quick fix which was not really acceptable. Its a shame as the location was good and the staff friendly.

The beds were clean and comfortable and the water was hot.

Some things were shabby and the shower drenched the bathroom floor, a little attention to detail would have made the stay much more pleasent.

When we first booked Plas Dinorwic we did not realise exactly where it was situated. We soon found out that, overlooking the Menai Straits, it affords wonderful views whether it rains or shines, In addition it is within easy reach of the sights of Snowdonia and Angelsey.
