  • "Thank you for the most wonderful weekend staying in your beautiful cottage!"

    ! Me and friends were extremely impressed with the cottage, we had a very comfortable stay and loved the decor in each bedroom & the kitchen was brilliant had everything we needed! My own criticism would be the lack of outdoor lighting near the hot tub where in late evening now it is darker we struggled with seeing where we were going. Apart from this, we had a fabulous time and will recommend this accommodation to friends and family :)

    There wasn’t anything that we needed that wasn’t there. The host was lovely and on hand for local advice. We were a mixed aged party and had the most amazing week mainly because this property was so comfortably liveable. We will definitely be going back.

  • "Was great to stay at a working farmhouse."

    As a family of 7 with grandparents and grandchildren we all thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Bigger and better than the photo's. Very clean, modern and a beautiful farmhouse. Must admit it is in the middle of nowhere but we enjoyed the peace and quiet and had the car to travel about. Beware of the country roads. All in all a great stay, would stay here again.

  • "The hot tub could have been cleaned more often."

    Thank you for your 5 star rating and your comments. Our hot tub is emptied and refilled ahead of every guest's holiday and tested throughout their stay in accordance with hot tub safety requirements. This was carried out regularly during the week when you were out of the property for your own safety, and out of courtesy to you. Property Owner

  • "Just returned two weeks ago with family (from America) where we had the most fantastic week in this stunning converted farmhouse in the heart of North Wales."

    It is a true gem and blends modern luxury with classic charm. The exterior has breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside and a beautiful hot-tub which some of us used to unwind after a day exploring North Wales. The interior has been meticulously designed and offers both elegance and comfort with spacious and sunlit rooms that are adorned with beautiful furnishings and exceptionally high-quality finishes. The kitchen is a chef's dream, equipped with huge appliances and ample space for socialising while cooking. The house is located in an ideal spot for exploring the beautiful towns of Conway, Llandudno, Caernarfon and many more, as well as close to Snowdonia National Park and Mount Snowden. Would love to stay here and visit again, thank you for this beautiful property. We created memories to last a lifetime. Thank You.

    Thank you so much to the Jones family for your warm welcome and hospitality. This barn is truly amazing, absolutely stunning renovation.The pictures do not do it justice. We have just returned after celebrating a family birthday, we were a party of 9 and the set up and space of the property was perfect. All rooms are beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The cottage was well equipped through out, home from home. The views from the property made it more relaxing especially when enjoying the hot tub. We will definitely be returning, I can not recommend this property enough. Thank you again, Leah & family.

    We had a very warm welcome on arrival and a tour of the house with extra information for eating and visiting etc. The cottage was absolutely beautiful and really clean. The hot tub was amazing. Shame the weather was not the best but it didn't stop us having an amazing week and enjoying the cottage to the full, the children loved it and enjoyed the table top football immensely.

    It is absolutely beautiful in an incredible location. The way they've blended the 16th century farmhouse with the modern decorating is lovely.

    It was interesting hearing and seeing the development of the property. The views that surround you are incredible, and it’s very peaceful. The bedrooms are all equally beautiful, so you won’t need to fight over who gets which one. There is one bedroom up some steep stairs, so bear that in mind if you’re planning to use all 5 bedrooms and are less mobile Would definitely recommend & return. Thanks!

    My family enjoyed a great bank holiday weekend stay. For those considering working while on the break, the wi-fi is via Vodafone hotspot but got a steady 40mbps during our stay, so no issues there. The TV is also sat in a media wall, so no scope to plug in consoles should the children fancy playing video games. The stairs to 2 of the bedrooms are very step, so worth considering for those with mobility issues. Overall, a brilliant stay, our host was lovely and we would return.

    It has lovely views. The owners are friendly and helpful. We spent Easter week here and had a great time, everything is within 20 minutes driving distance so you can enjoy some of the busier villages and attractions as well as the peace and quiet of the location and more remote walking areas. There are two pubs within short drive, one we walked to through fields. We would definitely consider coming back again.

  • "A wonderful stay in a wonderful cottage!"

    Ten of us stayed in this fantastic, converted building in beautiful surroundings. It is spacious enough for ten, yet feels cosy and warm with lovely underfloor heating downstairs and a huge hearth with log burner in the main living space (there are more, big cosy sofas downstairs than in the current pictures). The whole space is beautifully decorated and comfortably furnished, with thoughtful nods to the building’s history. The place is well equipped and what's not to like about a hot tub overlooking the river and hills! A great location just a few miles from the A55, superb for exploring North Wales and with more local walks over public footpaths. We found this cottage at the last minute on Sykes and I cannot rate it highly enough; it’s a beautiful place to stay, either as a base for more exploring or a relaxing time with family and friends. Wonderful.

The property

With stunning countryside views, Plas Glan Yr Afon is a 16th century Grade II listed building set on a working farm in Llangernyw, North Wales.

With grounds home to cattle and with a wealth of characterful features including an inglenook fireplace, exposed stone and original timber touches reused within the renovation, this fabulous property seamlessly blends character and contemporary.

Step inside the grand open-plan living space, hang your coat on the old saddle hooks, and find everything you need for a celebration with loved ones; the sleek kitchen is fit with all the appliances the chef of could want to whip up tasty dinners, while the pew-seat dining table offers a space to catch up about your day.

From here, take the open-tread staircase up to the first-floor sitting room, fit with a media wall with a Smart TV and electric fire to snuggle up in front of for your evening entertainment.

When sleep calls, find five beautifully decorated bedrooms where you can catch your rest; the ‘pink room’ is home to a stunning reupholstered French bed and a showcased exposed original wall, while the ‘green room’ boasts a grand headboard, lovingly repurposed from an old stable, with an en-suite shower room complete with a unique stone sink.

Moving through the property, the family bathroom steals the show with a spacious freestanding bath and a walk-in shower to freshen up in, and steep stairs lead up to two more bedrooms, fit with vaulted ceilings and skylights.
