"Booked afternoon tea here for a family of seven, based on reviews which raved about the warm welcome, possible tour of the house etc. I was looking forward to learning a little of the history as well as having a tasty afternoon tea. The welcome...was far from warm. We arrived just as a harried young man dashed past us without acknowledgement on the phone. We then waited at least minutes, somewhat awkwardly in the empty hallway until he finished his phone call. He then said ‘Afternoon tea?’ to which we nodded and he escorted us straight to the dining room without another word. So much for the warm welcome. We were then quickly served with teapots and stands of afternoon tea. Food was ok, some high points and some low. A member of staff asked us if we were ok about minutes in, which we were. However, I had read in previous reviews that extra tea and sandwiches could be ordered, but we never had the chance as no-one returned for the rest of our meal. There was no way to attract attention, we may as well have been alone in the house. Having pre-paid for our meal, we then left, having looked around for someone to say goodbye to. Not a soul on site. It really was the most dreadful service. Extremely transactional. A bit like Mac Donalds, really. I’m sure the owner manager would be appalled to hear how badly we were treated at what purports to be a five star establishment. We won’t be returning."

had a credit for the Gunroom experience as a birthday present, unfortunately it was not a good experience. the food was nice, but we did not sit in the gunroom, the tables next to us were unclear and had dirty/used teller etc. when we were shown. on our table, the toilet floor was opaque and used wet toilet paper on the floor. Very disappointing, but were greeted by a beautiful polite welsh speaking girl.

We stayed at Plas Dinas and dined here during the two nights in October We loved the seasonal autumnal dishes. If we could afford to stay more often or lived closer we would visit once a month to try the new dishes. It is...the overall experience that is just perfect. Canapes in the drawing room and the smoking butter was just wonderful. We will be back as soon as we can, I don't know how long I can stay away from the steak. We are even thinking of coming back as our Christmas present to each other.

What an amazing experience from start to finish! The immaculately dressed staff were so attentive from our initial meet. Not overpowering, but when I felt the need for more service, they just appeared? We felt very special from arrival, our every need and unique request...was taken care of effortlessly. The food was exquisite, the November menu that we had, left me and my Family lost for words, delicious and very filling! We vowed never to eat again.. until we sat for breakfast! A huge thank you to Daniel and Annie for the show around and backstory to your gorgeous home. Not to mention feeling blessed to get to meet the star of the show Oliver! See you in January x

We hired plas dinas country house for my birthday party, for the weekend. Completely amazing experience. The house is immaculate and fascinating, the staff so attentive. Annie and her team went above and beyond to create and unforgettable, bespoke event. We have created some...amazing memories and would recommend in a heart beat this beautiful house and amazing team. The food was amazing! The children were able to make their own pizzas and ice cream sundaes whilst the adults enjoyed multiple scrumptious) canapés. My friend who was gluten free was provided with an exact replica of each canapés without gluten. The attention to detail was phenomenal! Thank you for a fantastic time.

Although we live locally, this was our first visit to the gun room in plas dinas, but it will certainly not be the last. we were warmly welcomed and sat in a beautiful room to view the menu and order. the room was beautiful, with an amazing flower display and a warm fire. after the order we were in five minutes to our table in another beautifully decorated room, with a warm atmosphere and impeccable equipment. when each cure was served, we were blown away from the skill of the cook and his ability to mix unexpected aromen so brilliantly. we couldn't choose a favourite course, as we enjoyed everyone so! also the palette refreshments were delicious and beautifully presented. the personal was a...

we had a beautiful romantic meal in the gunroom restaurant recently (only after valentinstag,) since we received a gift voucher from my parents. we both work a lot and don't go much so that we both really have a special experience and I have a chance to dress up beautifully. what I did. plas dinas lived up to all our expectations. it is a short drive from caernarfon and we had the pleasure to go on a sunny day to see the satisfying garden and the first signs of the spring around the building. we had prosecco when we arrived. we sat in a spacious room, which has a beautiful fireplace to keep the guests warm and cozy and were served by an elegantly dressed staff, which was very friendly and ch...
