High expectations from previous Sykes holidays maintained

Mr Bennell, August 2020

This is a unique property which combines beautiful grounds, very spacious accommodation and great facilities for all ages.. All rooms were spotless on arrival and are all very nicely furnished. All three generations enjoyed a post lockdown two week stay, with no one feeling on top of each other, with grandparents playing tennis and the piano with the grandchildren - the hot tub was a real treat. The owners have thought of everything and the management team were helpful and accommodating. It is ideal for the larger family get togethers - would highly recommend.

Whilst an impressive country house with excellent facilities and real levels of comfort, Plas Ypolyn had a lovely, warm and welcoming feel; even with 3 relatively young children, we never felt intmidated, or that we had to watch ourselves, not touch things etc.. We fully intend to return soon, as it was perfect for us.

Instructions for central heating could be better with the thermostats also improved.. Most impressive wi-fi speed considering the property is in the middle of nowhere, but the mobile phone coverage is a bit iffy Impressed with the plentiful supply of logs for the fires, and the aga was permanently on providing heat and a great cooking facility to complement the standard electric oven. The owners left a very generous hamper of food and drinks for us to start the holiday Hot tub and sauna were well used by our family. The bedrooms were big and we were able to accommodate the 15 of us easily as 2 extra beds were provided so that 4 of the grandchildren were able to share one room. Just be aware that by default single beds need to be requested as most bedrooms have large double beds. Although one of the additional toilets has full disabled facilities none of the en-suites which are with every bedroom have The property could be improved by a little more thought in this area. Overall however I would have no problem in recommending this superb property in the Shropshire countryside.

Mr Roden, December 2019

We had a fabulous time at Plas Yolyn.. We were a party of two families, ranging in age from 2 to 65 and all enjoyed our stay immensely. The rooms were large and comfortable, and we had lovely evenings eating together in the dining room, and relaxing by the open fire in the living room, while the chefs among us made good use of the kitchen facilities. We all enjoyed the hot tub and became fans of croquet, playing some hotly contested games. The gardens are beautiful, and extensive, with plenty of room for children to explore and run about. There is plenty to see and do in the area - British Iron Works, Llangollen and its canal, and Ellesmere. We also made a trip to Chester which is only three quarters of an hour away. Stans superstore in nearby St.Martins provides all your grocery needs, and is only a few minutes away by car, although there are national supermarkets in Ellesmere and Oswestry. We had a wonderful time, but feel we only scratched the surface of this area, and would love to return!

Plas Yolyn is perfect for a gathering of family or friends.. Very well finished it had everything we needed. Only wish we could have stayed longer.

We had a lovely family get together over New Year at Plas Yolyn.. The house is very impressive and it was a treat to stay there. All rooms are beautifully furnished and there is plenty of space for everyone to spread out. Also, it has a very effective heating system which makes a big difference in the middle of winter and despite its size the house feels very cozy. The quality of furnishings and fittings is extremely high - the owners obviously have a good eye for detail and haven't scrimped on anything. I would definitely recommend the house and we would love to stay again.

Dr Woodhead

This accommodation is perfectly suited to a large group wanting to enjoy Shropshire.. The house is beautifully appointed, with really luxurious bathrooms and bedrooms and a very well equipped kitchen. We have visited twice in mid winter and had a wonderful time, I suspect the summer garden is beautiful to sit in too.

The property was ideal for a family golden wedding celebration.. There was something for everyone, with ages 5-73! The house and gardens were beautifully presented and maintained, and had a welcoming ambience. It was a special privilege to spend a week at Plas Yolyn.

Miss Sinclair

Our stay at Plas Yolyn was really amazing, lots to do for the kids and the house and grounds are just beautiful.. I couldn't fault it at all and will definitely be staying again in the future.

Plas Yolyn is a beautiful, comfortable and relaxing holiday home.. I felt at home as soon as I opened the door. Everything you could possibly need is provided here. We had a family gathering for my husband's 60th birthday and our wedding anniversary. Everyone loved staying here and no-one wanted to return home.

Plas Yolyn is an amazing place to stay with beautiful grounds.. The venue was perfect for my 70th birthday celebrations. The bedrooms and ensuite shower rooms are very impressive. My 4 Grandchildren were in and out of the hot tub all day and we played many games of tennis, croquet and table tennis.

Mrs Hill

The owners could not have been more helpful and friendly and the house was immaculate and exceeded all our expectations.. It was so well stocked with everything we needed and breath taking bedrooms and beautiful furnishings made it feel like a real luxury. Thank you.

Beautiful, clean house Very spacious.. Perfect for a large family gathering at Christmas. Attractive Christmas decorations. Slight problem with leaking towel rail was fixed immediately even though only 2 days before Christmas. Quiet and with lovely views. Only slight problem was that some of our party found the duvets too warm, even with the heating off, and there were no lighter alternatives..

We stayed in this large spacious house near Oswestry with our four children, their spouses and 5 grandchildren under three. There was lots of communal space to spread out in when the weather wasn't good. the games room was a fantastic resource. En suite to all large rooms was wonderful in the morning. The grounds outside allowed custard trails in the woods, cricket of a sort on the lawn, trike riding on the tennis court, dinosaur egg hunts and relaxing in the hot tub. With National Trust cards we managed to go somewhere everyday for free and would especially recommend the Ironworks Centre. A great week. Thanks to all who made it possible.

Brilliant property..

Just returned from a 3 night weekend stay. House is beautiful and the owners have thought of everything you might need to make your stay perfect, from the kitchen utensils to a tennis court. The fittings and decor in the house are to an excellent standard. Games room is perfect for young children and adults too with a great table tennis table. Lovely hot tub and wonderful grounds to explore. I would highly recommend and only hope that we can set a date again for us all to return.
