Our group have visited many properties up and down the UK and Plas Dinam has been the best. An amazing house with excellent facilities, beautiful gardens and amazing views. We used every inch of the place and really enjoyed our week.

Our annual get-together of 20+ friends & their families has seen us staying in Scottish hunting lodges, country seats, Lundy's Governor's House & many more, but this has been widely agreed as the most spectacular yet. Early home of the famous Davies sisters, who gave their great art bequest to Cardiff's National Museum, it's by turns opulent, comfortable, excellently kitted out and surrounded by the most gorgeous scenery. The owners are perfect, unobtrusive but there if needed and very welcoming. It is always tricky trying to find somewhere that will meet the room needs of our diverse age/sex/partner status group, but Plas Dinam did it in spades. Huge grounds, plenty of space for noise or quiet activities - including some secluded revision space - and a great kitchen made the holiday go by much too quickly. It's definitely a place we'd like to come back to in the future. Diolch yn fawr Eldrydd & Tyson.

Plas Dinam is even more impressive and more beautiful than it looks on the website. I organised a reunion weekend and having shopped around the house was always my first choice, but arriving on the Friday it was stunning, with so many nooks and crannies to explore and a incredible sense of comfort despite its hotel-like size.
Every amenity was provided, and Eldrydd and her husband were so helpful during the planning process, gently prompting us if we'd forgotten anything and being there to greet my friends when they arrived. We mostly stayed in the house during out weekend, but the surrounding countryside was beautiful, especially as we were there on a fine weekend. But there's more than enough to do, should the weather be a bit more... Welsh.
I would unreservedly recommend this stunning property.

This is a very belated review, in relation to our stay at Plas Dinam for our wedding in July 2013.
Put simply, Plas Dinam is magical. If you’re wondering if it lives up to the images and descriptions on the website, then fear not. It surpasses all expectations. The house sits in a picturesque valley with stunning views. Every room is carefully and beautifully furnished. Everything you need is provided and the owners Eldrydd and Tyson go out of their way to make sure you enjoy your stay.
We booked Plas Dinam for our ‘Wedding weekender’ in July 2013. I was making all arrangements from Australia, and Eldrydd was wonderfully helpful and patient in attending to all my queries and requests via email. When we finally arrived and saw Plas Dinam for ourselves, we actually couldn't quite believe that this amazing house was ours for the weekend. There is so much more to the house than you imagine. When you’re there, you can totally forget about the outside world and feel completely content as you settle into enjoying every little joy that Plas Dinam offers.
For us, it was the perfect venue for our weekend wedding. We held the ceremony in the beautiful drawing room, gathered on the lawns for champagne and canapés, moved into the great hall for dinner then back into the drawing room for dancing and drinking until the small hours. And best of all, our closest friends and family were able to spend the whole weekend with us, not just the one day.
A huge thank you to Eldrydd and Tyson for everything you did for us. Everyone agreed it was the best wedding they've ever been to and for us, it was the weekend of a lifetime.

Plas Dinam as a venue is fantastic. Eldrydd the owner is really nice,accommodating and can't do enough for you. We hired it for my daughters wedding for 25 close family. It is a 5 star luxury venue which is yours for the duration of your stay. Lovely & warm throughout cosy well appointed bedrooms everywhere is just first class, Eldrydd even had a welcome basket waiting for us on arrival which was lovely. She doesn't interfere once your there but will assist at the drop of a hat if you need any help or guidance. Weddings are a special day Plas Dinam is a special place. Together they gave us a day never to be forgotten. As a family we will hire again for a gathering of the clan so to speak. Thank you Eldrydd. Ten out of ten

We have stayed in large houses every October for the past 10 years and all 30 of our group agreed that Plas Dinam has been the best so far.
We were greeted by Eldrydd and her beautiful baby Saskia with the added bonus of a welcome basket full of Welsh treats. The house has a wonderful atmosphere about it, you can feel that the house has been loved and looked after by the owners. The kitchen is fully equipped, each room has it own distinctive character. All the bedrooms are very well decorated and everyone commented on how comfortable the beds were. The dining room is absolutely magnificent, we had wonderful meals each evening. Eldrydd arranged for Becky and Julie to come in and help serve and clean up etc. Both Ladies were very professional and worth every penny. Eldyrdd has a photo treasure hunt on the grounds of the house set up ready to go for you, the children (and I) had a great treasure hunt. The grounds of the house are spectacular as is the surrounding area. All of the downstairs rooms and unusually every bedroom has wonderful views. Tyson, Edrydd's husband has renovated the outside bread oven and he arranged for the children to make and bake their own pizzas - they had great fun. We went clay pigeon shooting and horse riding. There is so much to do if you want to, personally I just enjoyed being in the house. Eldrydd, Tyson and Julie are a short call away if you need anything. We will definitely be going back again.

Great weekend 50th Party spent at Plas Dinam - trip out of London a bit slow - some guests took the train to the local station only ten minutes away and it took just three and a half hours from London - so worth looking into. Lots of entertaining space and all very comfortable. Bedrooms were great too and the house was lovely and warm. Our hosts were more than helpful but also unobtrusive. Lots to do in the area - and would recommend Mid-Wales offroad Karting for a great morning or afternoon. Good walks and mountain biking from the house.
