We had a two night stay at Plas Dinas and it was perfect from start to finish. The room was beautiful and exceptionally clean. The staff were attentive and polite, the service we received throughout was top class. We enjoyed breakfast, afternoon tea and dinner during our stay and it was all fabulous. All in all, Plas Dinas exceeded our expectations and we were planning our next visit before we had even checked out! We loved our stay and look forward to visiting again soon.
