Ali and Miles, the hosts of Plas Isaf, are two of the nicest, kindest people you could ever meet, and nothing was too much trouble to make our family stay the best it could possibly be. We were treated like good friends for the entire week. The property was spotless and even better than it looked in the photos- quirky and full of personal touches. There are chickens, ducks and the family dogs and cats wandering around freely, which just makes it feel even more homely. The setting is just stunning and location perfect for exploring all parts of N Wales. You will not be disappointed staying in this wonderful place.

Ali, Miles & all four paws are not just hosts they are so much more… From the moment you arrive to the moment it’s sadly time to leave they share their hospitality knowledge & friendship making every minute a welcomed one It is such a magical, wonderful, place they have created in a stunning area of WalesPlas Isaf itself has so much to share with staying guests, we are so glad we ventured only into the grounds of it the first few days of our stay.. & after a few day trips out in surrounding areas we all embraced the comforts on our return for the eveningOur family stay included senior members as well as younger members and our four paw crew Definitely recommend and most certainly will be revisiting Deb Mick Sam Hollie Sandra Billy Star Hunter & Vulko
