Top Caernarfon Hotel Reviews

Plas Glynllifon Mansion

Plas Glynllifon Mansion

10/10 Excellent
"An amazing place to visit. Couldn't speak highly enough. The rooms were cozy and warm despite how large they were. The owner was a very friendly chap who instantly made you feel welcome. The grounds were great to walk around and relaxing. The breakfast staff were genuinely great people and polite. Had a warm atmosphere. The building needs renovating but knew that before arriving and reflected in the price. Would definitely return."
