Plas Isaf Lodge Retreat

"Very peaceful break in lovely surroundings"

"We stayed in the Draig Premier lodge for 2 people at Plas Isaf. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with kind customer service and found the lodge to be exceptionally clean, we were really happy with the overall appearance.On the day of our stay, I received multiple calls confirming our arrival time before 5pm. Check in is from 4pm so this is a very small window if there is traffic. We arrived before 5pm so I am unaware if there is an additional charge for late arrivals. The lodge itself was well equipped with everything youd need to cook meals, including a dishwasher and washing machine. One dishwasher tablet, one toilet roll, and a small dishwashing liquid were provided, so Id recommend bringing extras. My only small frustration was that the lodge only came with two of everything. Two mugs, two plates, two forks, etc. While it makes sense for a two-person lodge, it meant we couldnt make practical use of the dishwasher and little things (like needing a separate knife for buttering toast at breakfast) were slightly inconvenient. That said, the kitchen supplies themselves were excellent overall.One thing to note is that there were no cleaning products provided. No antibacterial spray, cloths, hoover, or brush. The rules sent before arrival clearly state that the lodge should be left as you found it, which I was more than happy to do, but this was difficult without basic supplies. In the end, we had to go to the supermarket to buy our own.The TV setup was fine but limited, there was no way to add Netflix, and screen mirroring didnt seem to work. However, the Wi-Fi worked really well, and there was Samsung TV Plus with some films and series available.The hot tub was spacious and well maintained every morning and one of the best weve been in. The only downside was that it felt very overlooked in the daylight, as the lodges opposite and next door could see in.The bathroom was spacious and modern. We werent able to get the bath working during our stay, but when I enquired, I was reassured that if we had called out of hours, someone would have come to help. Apparently, the taps just needed more force, but I was nervous about breaking them.The park itself had such a calm and relaxing atmosphere, and the location was ideal for exploring nearby villages. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely return."

"Lodge was very comfortable had everything you need for a self catering holiday"

"We had a really good holiday, quiet and peaceful. Views are lovely. We didn't have to travel to far to find places to visit. We would definitely recommend this site and it's lodges."

"Our Plas Isaf Lodge Retreat review: Only single fault is a lack of mirrors other than in the bathroom Drying your hair without a mirror seems like a bit of a small moan but thats the only fault we found"

"We encountered a few problems in our lodge and the reception team could not have been more helpful"

"The flooring definitely needs replacing as couldnt walk round with no shoes on for risk of catching toes but the rest of the lodge was great maybe provide more than exactly 4 sets of everything cutlery and glasses plates wise as you spend a lot of time washing things to reuse. I also think when you have a booking with two children the second bedroom should have the bed split into two separate beds rather than made up as a double wasnt ideal with a girl and boy aged 15 and 11 to share a double bed"

"Amazon and relaxing"

"Very clean spacious lodge set in a quiet park. Well equipped kitchen. Beds we're comfy. The hot tub made the holiday. Staff were friendly and helpful. Central to lots of lovely beaches. Plenty to see and do for the family."

"Perfect and highly recommended"

"We previously stayed in a 4 bedroom Gwynedd, the Premier is the same but had a hot tub which was a very welcome addition. The lodge is spacious, well equipped and had everything we needed. The beds were comfy, the showers good and the lodge was clean and comfortable. The wi-fi signal was good and free. There is a big fridge/freezer so you can bring plenty of provisions with you if you choose to eat in, and there is ample cooking equipment. It is also in a very peaceful location and within easy travel distance to beaches and lovely scenery and activities."

"Pure Bliss! Lovely site, beautiful lodge, excellent view"

"Second time in the Llewellyin, nice touch of a doggy pack for the dog, great views and location from lodge 19, booked again for September."

"Brilliant lodge could not ask for any better welcome pack for us and the dog. Great place to stay with washing machine, dishwasher, waterfall shower and bath. Towels provided too"

"We had a fantastic stay in Rhodri at Plas Isaf Lodge Retreat. The property itself was really nice clean, well-presented, and extremely comfortable, with everything we needed for a relaxing break. One of the standout features was the privacy it felt peaceful and secluded, just what we were looking for.Another big bonus was how close everything was. Compared to other places weve stayed, the local amenities and attractions were much more accessible, which made things so much more convenient. Whether we wanted to explore or just nip out for something, nothing felt like a hassle.We genuinely cant wait to come back. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a quiet, comfortable getaway in a great location."

"t was a lovely holiday, very relaxing. The lodge was good. The lodge was very clean.Liked both the bedrooms. Loads of room and loved having ensuites.Would have been better to have 2 sofas instead of a sofa and 2 chairsAlso it was annoying literally only having 4 plates, bowls, knives, forks, spoons etc. Meant had to keep washing up all the time. Also side plates were ridiculously small and only fit 1 piece of bread. Needed to be bigger.Would have been good to be told there wouldn't be a teatowel, sponge or dishcloth. We had to go out and buy them.Overall enjoyed the site. It was close to everything we wanted to go see. Was good to have fields to walk the dogs as well."

"Beautiful luxurious lodge"

"Excellent stay.Comfortable and clean accommodation.Staff helpful and friendly."

"Best holiday ever"

"We had a very comfortable stay at a reasonable price. We went as two couples, booked a two bed lodge. Very well thought floor-plan with privacy of each bedroom taken care off.. Both bedroom had en-suite. Lovely interior decor with comfortable sitting arrangements overlooking beautiful view outside."

"Had everything we needed for a few days break, lovely and clean, great location right next to the stream."

"We loved this cottage! Its really spacious for four, super peaceful and perfect for unwinding. We had such a relaxing, stress-free break."

"We had such a lovely stay at Plas Isaf! After our usual retreat shut down, wed been on the hunt for somewhere special and honestly, this place ticked all the boxes. The lodges are stunning, really top quality and kept spotless. Its so peaceful here, perfect for unwinding, but still close enough to explore North Wales. Lisa and the team made us feel really welcome too. Already planning our next trip!"

"Weve just got back from a week-long stay at a lovely lodge in Caerwys and honestly, it was a pretty great experience. The lodge itself was super modern and in fantastic condition - definitely feels brand new, with a really spacious open-plan living and kitchen area. Each bedroom has its own en suite, which was handy, especially for a group like ours. What really made our trip special was the staff. From the moment we arrived, the service was top-notch. Lisa on reception was so friendly and helpful, answering all our pre-arrival questions and taking note of our requests. It was such a relief to meet someone so welcoming after a long journey. Then theres Greg - what a legend! He seems to do every job around the place, from maintenance to grass cutting. Honestly, nothing was too much trouble for him. You could tell he genuinely cares about the site and the guests. Every staff member we encountered was chatty, approachable and made us feel right at home.The lodges are quite new, so everything looked fresh and well-maintained. We honestly cant understand why this site is only ranked second in Caerwys because its miles ahead of the other one we visited - Plas Isaf Lodge Retreat. That place felt a bit tired compared to this one.Now, on to a minor issue, just to be fair. Every morning, we woke up to the smell of sewage, which was a bit unpleasant. We found out its because of the eco-friendly system they use - the shower traps hold very little water, so when the toilet is flushed, the smell gets sucked away. The fix is simple - just running water into the shower tray helps, but its a bit of a pain to remember every time. Wed recommend taking some air freshener along, just in case. Were not sure if this problem is limited to our lodge or if its across the site, but its worth noting. Overall, we had a lovely stay and despite that small hiccup, wed definitely come back. The staff, the lodges and the relaxed vibe make it a place worth visiting!"

"Very comfortable stay, would definitely return!"

"Really enjoyed our stay, the location was spot on!"

"Really enjoyed our stay, the lodge was just right. The location was spot on, close to everything we wanted to see. The hot tub was definitely a highlight-so relaxing! Overall, a fantastic place, would definitely come back. We found the lodge to be perfect for our needs. Everything was clean and comfortable, no complaints there. The only thing was, it couldve been a bit quieter. But honestly, we had an awesome time, loved it!"

"We had a lovely four-night stay. The lodge was super comfy and well equipped, with plenty of space. The hot tub was a real treat after exploring nearby beaches. Nice dog walk too!"

"We stayed from Monday to Friday and check-in on Friday was strict at 4pm, with checkout by 10am on Monday. The lodge was really lovely and modern and the hot tub was fantastic-such a nice touch! The view from the lodge was super relaxing too. On the downside, there was no welcome pack with basics like bread or milk, which was a bit disappointing. The site is still a work in progress, so some areas arent very pretty yet and we noticed a bit of wear and tear in the new lodge - paintwork and taped floors. Also, only two dishwasher tablets were provided and no washing machine tablets. Beds werent the most comfy and the lounge sofa could do with some cushions. Oh and no mirrors in any of the bedrooms in our 3-bed premier lodge - that was a bit of a pain for us ladies wanting to dry our hair!"

"We really enjoyed our stay here. The lodge was roomy and well-equipped, perfect for a relaxing self-catering break. The beds were comfy and the central heating was a lifesaver, especially in March. There's plenty of space around and parking right beside the lodge made everything easy. We had a fantastic time!"
