"What a wonderful house, with amazing views."
Everything you could ever need, and spotlessly clean. Beds are really comfy too. The whole group celebrating our 50th birthday want to return. 6 seater hot tub, pool table and a pub about 15 mins walk away. No shops in walking distance, but we had a supermarket delivery to stock up with essentials.Thank you to the owner Iona.

"We had such a fabulous stay for my mums 60th!"
The owner was so accommodating when we arrived early with our baby too! The house was a perfect location to drive to all the nearby sites. I’m sure we will be back, highly recommend.

"Beautiful place to stay."
We were a group Of 12 with age range 6 to 83 and there was plenty to keep us all happy and well looked after. It’s a great location - tucked away in beautiful countryside but also close to Betws-y-coed and also Lake Bala. We did Snowdon and Cadir Idris plus a visit to the coast on Anglesey. Wish we could have stayed longer. Would thoroughly recommend Plas Iolyn to all and the kids are already asking to go back.

"Superb property in a beautiful area."
A party of 7 adults and 3 teenagers stayed here for a week in July 2024 - we found that all our requirements were catered for. Plenty of inside and outside space made for an excellent holiday. The hot tub and the games room were well used. The beds were very comfortable and the bathrooms spotless with plenty of hot water. Loads to do in the area - Snowdon (obviously) but also e-mountain biking in Betws-y-coed, zip wiring, target sports at Llangollen. Excellent pub (with food) within easy walking distance. Iona could not have been more helpful providing any additional things we needed.

"Beautiful property in the welsh countryside."
Spotlessly clean and well equipped for the number of guests. All the rooms were a great size and very comfortable. We visited as a group of girls and found lots to do with plenty of walks or activities close by. We are already planning our next trip with spouses and children.

"Just had an amazing weekend here for my Hen party."
The cottage was perfect, in immaculate condition everyone commented how lovely it was. The owner couldn’t do enough for you and came to introduce herself but we was also left to it after which was great. The surroundings are beautiful wish we could have stayed for longer. Would defintley stay here again

"A beautiful house with every amenity and facility that you could want."
The owner, Iona was lovely and there if we needed her. The welcome hamper was a lovely thought. Beds very comfortable, kitchen well equipped and plenty of space for the 10 of us. Hot Tub and Games Room were a great asset to the holiday. Would strongly recommend.
-
"Fabulous house in wonderful setting."
We enjoyed the hot tub and play room. The house is really spacious, comfortable and warm. Great kitchen for catering and a table to accommodate all our family of fourteen. The farm itself is full of character and the owner really helpful and friendly.

"What a beautiful property!"
We had an amazing week at Plas Iolyn. The local area was fantastic for walks and we ventured into Betws Y Coed for a look around the shops. You don’t need to leave the house however, it is so well-equipped. The games room and hot tub kept everyone entertained and the lawned area at the front of the property was perfect for outdoor games. The log burner in the second sitting room was a very toasty touch! The house itself was equipped with every single appliance/piece of kitchen equipment you could possibly want, Iona truly has thought of everything. It is finished to an incredibly high standard and was immaculately clean throughout. All of the guests commented on the lovely bedrooms and comfortable beds (having linen and towels provided was helpful too). Iona left a beautiful Welsh hamper for us to enjoy which was a lovely touch. This property is perfect for all ages and we cannot wait to return. Thank you for a fantastic week away!

"It was all lovely, everything was perfect and a great size for the group!"
It's a shame about being unable to check out slightly later. The owner's were so helpful with everything we needed!
-
"We had a fantastic weekend with all the family celebrating my husband’s 60th birthday."
Kids absolutely loved it and didn’t want to go home. Everything was there that we needed and more. I would definitely go back again and recommend it to all my friends 100%

"It was perfect a really special early Christmas"
-
"Had an amazing weekend at Plas Lolyn with family members with ages ranging from 7 months to 60 years."
Scenery around the property is stunning. The property is finished to a very high standard, beds were so comfortable and the kitchen was stocked with everything you could possibly need. The owners live on site and are there if you need anything but leave you alone to enjoy your stay. One of our guests asked for an extension lead which was dropped off straight away. The welcome basket was a nice touch thank you. We all enjoyed the hot tub and the games room. Cannot wait to return for another stay

"We had a wonderful week at Plas Iolyn."
We are a family group of ten, with ages ranging from 8 to 75 and we were all very happy. The house was warm, spacious and peaceful; it was beautifully furnished and the beds were wonderful.The large hot tub and games room were very popular. Iona, the owner, was very friendly and responded to our requests promptly. She even ( with the help of her children) judged our annual pumpkin carving competition. The house is well placed for the many activities the area has to offer.
-
"The house and rooms are so much bigger in real life than in the pictures."
Every bathroom is finished to a high standard, it's a gorgeous house. The dining table is incredible for a large group of people and the games room is a great addition. Only feedback would be that we were only left with 2 dishwasher tablets which isn't enough for 12 people for 2 nights/3days. We would have washed by hand but were left with only a tiny drop of already watered down washing up liquid.
-
"This farm house is outstanding!"
We have just stayed here for 3 nights and had the best time. Everything was top notch and very homely. We were welcomed with a lovely hamper which was a lovely surprise and the owner couldn't do enough for us. Would definitely return xxx
-
"The hosts were fantastic, the venue was amazing!"
It was clean, tidy, modern and very homely. We stayed for 5 days and don't have a bad thing to say about the venue! Lots of local attractions and places to visit as reccomended by the hosts and we wouldn't hesitate to return or reccomend friends to visit! 10/10!

"Could not fault this holiday home ."
Beautiful scenery. Plenty to do with games room an hot tub . Age ranges from 2 - 80 all enjoyed it immensely
-
"This property is a beautiful place to stay, and is so much bigger than we’d thought when we booked."
The owners were helpful and there when we needed to contact them but also left us to enjoy our stay. We all made the same comment - the beds! The beds and the bedding are insanely comfortable… it’s not often you go away and don’t miss your own bed but these were hard to leave. It’s in a beautiful spot and was perfect for a girls weekend away, but would be equally suitable for a quieter stay with friends or family. Thank you so much for having us, we loved it and really hope to be back again one day!
-
"Such an amazing property."
So modern inside yet the property was built in 1908! Dream home. Very friendly and helpful owners. Would definitely go again

"Beautiful"

"This was an ideal family stay."
There was plenty of room and with so many bathrooms, there were no queue worries. The kitchen was fully stocked with utensils and we loved using the hot tub and bbq. With the great views and peace we all had an amazing holiday!
-
"We visited for a Hen weekend and we had the most amazing time."
The host Iona was wonderful and friendly. The house was spotless and unbelievably comfortable. A lovely welcome basket was there on arrival and hot tub was ready and waiting. Surrounding area was beautiful and I really enjoyed waking up to see a baby cow playing in the field with his mummy! Highly recommend to all visitors and will hopefully be returning back there soon. Thank you for a wonderful stay
-
"Absolutely wonderful property - we couldn't fault it!"
13 of us stayed in Plas Lolyn for a hen do and had the best weekend. The property was clean, very spacious, sociable and comfortable - and Iona was super responsive and helped us when we needed. The kitchen is a standout feature and had everything you needed - we baked cakes and had a bbq overlooking the gorgeous Welsh hills. The hot tub was a huge plus and the games room provided lots of entertainment space too! We will be definitely recommending this property to our friends and can't wait to return. Thank you so much Iona!

"Can’t say enough good things about this property, beautiful house, clean spacious rooms, great games room, beautiful kitchen full of every utensil you could need!"
! We had an amazing family break away and Iona went above and beyond to make sure we had a lovely time. Beautiful scenery and walks around the property. Would definitely recommend and will hopefully book again one day

"This was my fourth stay in a Sykes cottage, and this was the best yet!"
The house is very well equipped, clean, tastefully decorated and well laid out. Communication from the owner was top notch, and local knowledge was provided regarding food shopping options. The heating was immediately adjusted to our needs, and our whole extended family were very comfortable throughout our stay. The games room and the hot-tub were fantastic 'add-ons'. Diolch/Thank you!
-
"Really lovely property."
We had a great 2 day break here and would 100% come back. Hot tub, games room, stunning layout, easy to access/find...perfect. The owner Iona was great and really helpful too :)

"Excellent cottage - we all loved the place."
Very clean and had every item you could possibly think of. Each room was unique; the original barn doors were stunning and added that architectural merit to the property. The hot tub and games room were added bonuses! The log burner in the ground floor snug was lovely on an evening once the kids were all in bed. The owner was on hand to welcome us and was so accommodating in our requests - Thank you, Iona
-
"Gorgeous property."
Very clean could not fault. Fab hot tub with lovely views. Has everything you need. Great views and good location. Fantastic kitchen with massive dining table. Really good games room with pool table and table tennis The only downside for us was although it had lovely warm underfloor heating downstairs the upstairs was quite chilly during our February stay and none of us could get the upstairs radiators or towel rails on to warm up. However we would definitely book and stay in this wonderful property again
-
"Don't wait!"
Go & stay here as soon as you can. It is the very best place the 8 of us have stayed either on this island or overseas. The scenery is fantastic especially from the hot tub. A completely renovated large house done with great care & taste. Comfortable beds. Very well equipped. The downstairs kitchen area has underfloor heating & it was divine. The owners are truly caring, friendly & are so helpful.
