We had a great rwo nights at this Edwardian guesthouse. After an absolutely exhausting day catching up with old friends, we were running late for our booking and my husband rang Jane, who we later found was the Proprietor and explained we would arrive until after 6pm. On our arrival Jane was waiting. We were shown to our country-chic room. Wow how elegant it was. A small basket of fruit, cheeses dips and nibbles had been placed in the room with tea/coffee facilities to welcome us. Our bed was so comfy we both went out like lights and had a great night's sleep. Breakfast was everything you could wish for. The food was beautifully presented and delicious. The history behind the house is amazing and very interesting. What we noticed was Jane is so proud of it and strives to keep it alive. Unfortunately as we are from Australia and this is the trip of a lifetime and we do not think we will be passing by again , but we promised 100% we will recommend to our family and friends this beautiful Hotel. Fantastic staff,a friendly atmosphere and sensible COVID 19 precautions in place. Thanks Jane your a little gem.

This hotel/restaurant is the best I've visited in Wales. I dined there with my parents and we left feeling the experience couldn't be topped.
To begin with, the Edwardian building and grounds are as immaculately manicured as they are beautifully decorated. The scenery is fairly spectacular, and the restaurant/suites (one of which the hostess kindly offered to show me) are cleverly designed to maximise the view.
THE FOOD!!!... It was like something out of a Michelin restaurant without the humongous price tag and tiny portions; beautifully presented and exceptionally delicious.
The greatest triumph of Plas Maenan is its staff though. Jane the owner/hostess couldn't be more polite, accommodating and interesting. She is very knowledgeable about the history of the house, and is very attentive to guests without being overbearing. The chef (who apparently farms many of the ingredients on the grounds) brought the food to the tables personally - again without the ceremony or arrogance you'd expect from such talent in that setting. He was roundly praised by the diners (once we realised who he was!)

Absolutely amazing. I went there for my birthday, and had the most amazing dinner. The decoration is extraordinary, every detail, statues and painting are beautiful, the views are also outstanding. Highly recommend it. Food is high quality ! Thanks for making my 30th Birthday memorable !

We stayed for three nights in August as a base for visiting three of Edward I's castles in North Wales. The location is beautiful, overlooking the Conwy valley, just a few miles south of Conwy and a few miles north of Betws-y-Coed, so is ideal for visiting Conwy, Beaumaris and Caernarfan castles as well as the mountains of Snowdonia. The hotel has been beautifully refurbished and decorated, and offers very comfortable and peaceful accommodation. The proprietor and staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Dinner and breakfast were excellent. Other reviewers have mentioned the interesting history of the mansion and the disastrous attempts to develop hydro-electricity in Dolgarrog, just across the valley. We thoroughly recommend it.

Food was fine, steaks must come with good portion of vegetables. Place was panoramic, great views. Ample parking space. Nice place to relax

Where do I begin… Dee & Pete literally took over Plas Maenan the week before our wedding - which coincidentally was scheduled for the same day/time as Queen Elizabeth’s funeral!!! So to say I was a little frayed around the edges as a bride was an understatement… Dee invited us to meet her a few days beforehand to try to put my mind at ease, and she certainly did just that 💜 Professional but so very friendly, accommodated everything we could’ve asked for and even more besides I instantaneously felt so much better on meeting her. Our wedding day came… And EVERYTHING was absolutely perfect The setting/surroundings The atmosphere The service The professionalism The scenery The food (JUST WOW PETE)!!!! We were given free reign of everywhere for photos - which Dee delighted in taking ☺️ (Thank you xx) I honestly cannot recommend Plas Maenan enough for your special day It has everything you could ever possibly wish for - it truly is astounding I can’t wait to see what these guys will do going forward, as it was obviously early days for them and there is yet to be a refurb etc Dee & Pete… You guys made our day so very magical and we simply cannot thank you enough Mr & Mrs Worrall 💜
