Plas Y Coed is more than just a place in the woods. Steeped in history, this Grade II listed building was once part of the Penrhyn Estate. Dip your toes into the past and absorb the wonderful feeling of utter luxury. A magnificent staircase guides you to this first-floor apartment where an eye for detail is very much in evidence. Guests are made to feel so welcome - relaxation is a priority here.

A large, light and airy open plan sitting room and kitchen allow all who stay to relax and enjoy the space. A soft sofa welcomes those who have climbed the nearby mountains of Snowdonia, marvelling at the landscape before them. Carry the mountain views to carry on with a glass of celebratory fizz in hand. Cooks will enjoy this fully equipped kitchen where even the coffee machine is a designer’s dream. Dishes wash themselves here as a dishwasher has been installed ready to ease your stay if eating in at Plas Y Coed is what you wish to do. For those explorers who search out restaurants, then down the road sit Voltaire and The Slate, with incredible menus that cater for all.

With so many places to explore – mountains, sea or lakes, a powerful shower allows adventurers to face the day after a peaceful night’s sleep. Guests need not worry about bringing soaps and shampoos as ready supplies await you. Fancy a soak after a mountain or seaside day? Lie back in the bath and ease those muscles ready to plan the next day, if your eyes will stay open for long enough. The peace is almost audible with just the sound of birds to keep you company.

Comfort is paramount at Plas Y Coed with a king-sized bed awaiting duvet worshipers, or those just wishing to rest awhile. Watch the light play across the sky as the stars take over from the sun. Clear uninterrupted views across the countryside allow the outside in and this room to be as bright as can be.

The morning will come quickly as sleep is easy with fresh air aplenty and adventures galore on your doorstep. Strike out to Snowdonia and tick another peak off your list. And with a frequent local bus service, there is no reason to take the car and have to worry about parking. Zip along Europe's longest zip wire or immerse yourselves in the past at Penrhyn Castle all so very nearby. Explorers can go further afield, choosing which bridge to cross and strike out to Anglesey, grabbing beach towels and flip flops along the way. Historic castles, ancient sites, coastal paths and mountain peaks – Plas Y Coed couldn’t be a better base to explore the wonders of North Wales.

This was the ideal base for our walking holiday. Usually we stay in our campervan but being February we fancied somewhere a little more comfortable, warm and spacious, and this was just the right place for us. Bangor has plenty of amenities, there’s a bus stop a few minutes walk away (we recommend it for the Aber Falls distillery tour), and it was easy to access the National Park with good road links to Llanberis, Ogwen Valley, Carneddau etc. If we’re ever fancying an upgrade from the campervan again, we’ll definitely be looking to come back here.

A beautiful old house, renovated not too long ago, located in a quiet area surrounded by green. The flat was very clean, tastefully decorated and everything was well thought out. You have peace and quiet here, but still everything you need is within easy reach.
