There's an understated elegance about 'The Plas'. It welcomes you in to a warm embrace, just like this enchanting Regency villa has to the great and good for the past centuries. Mark and Howard are careful guardians of The Plas's past, ensuring the standards you'd expect of a five-star country manor stay are surpassed, both in service and decor. Our room, The William Maddocks, enjoyed views over The Cob ... with the promise of Harlech Castle in the distance, although the weather offered us little more than a hazy shade of winter. The four-poster was more than comfy; the leather chairs to enjoy the view of the garden were welcome after a day's sightseeing and the warm ginger of the eco-toiletries made a very welcome change from your standard hotel fare, however, high the star rating. Each morning we enjoyed a delicious breakfast watching the rain come down over The Cob and the grey clouds scuttle across the skies. My husband's Eggs Benedict, porridge and full Welsh over the stay did not disappoint. Over the years, he's become a true connoisseur of his favourite Eggs Benedict and pronounced these some of the best he'd tasted, surpassing many he'd tasted in top hotels across the country. Mark was a most gracious host, remembering our breakfast preferences and treating us like old friends coming for a visit. His knowledge and tips on where to eat and what to do on a rainy day were most welcome. On our final day, we enjoyed afternoon tea in the drawing room, a haven of leather chesterfields, muted colours and books telling the history of this charming house and its history. Who couldn't be drawn in by the tale of Shelley seeing off an intruder in the middle of the night ... and viewing the ancient pistol which had been discovered under a rhododenron busy years later! This is truly a house with a story. We've written our first chapter here and can't wait to return.
