Penholm Reviews

When we arrived at Penholm we were immediately amazed. We had booked the house for my husbands 70th so family were coming also. The house was inviting and comfortable, the bedrooms were beautiful and tastefully decorated. We loved the hot tub and the kids had fun in the games room. Penholm had everything we needed for our family to enjoy. Thank you.
Wow what a wonderful property! Absolutely fantastic! We had a lovely family gathering! A great hamper on arrival, everything you needed. would definitely recommend.
Pauline
I booked a seven night stay at Penholm for 11 adults to relax for a week. We loved the accommodation, there was so much to do from having a hottub to playing pool or just relaxing in one of the large lounges. The accommodation is close to Conwy and Llandudno as well as a number of other towns to visit for days out. The Kitchen was well equipped had everything you need to make lovely meals , there was a huge kitchen table where you could sit to eat and chat and put the world to right
Michelle
We booked this beautiful house for my husbands 60th birthday it was lovely we all had a relaxing time and used the entertainment room the house was well equipped with everything that you needed and the welcome basket was wonderful highly recommend this lovely house.
Lovely, very spacious accomodation over 3 floors. There were 17 of us but we all had our own space which was perfect. Very well equipped kitchen, lovely large living rooms and conseratory. The games room was a big hit and we enjoyed watching F1 on the huge cinema screen. The hot tub was lovely, even in the rain and plenty of seating outside when the sun put in an appearance. Fantastic views from all windows and ample parking. The property does need a bit of TLC in places. We had some contact with the owner who was always helpful with any problems we had. All in all a very nice house indeed.
Huge house & rooms Beautiful and very homely home. Defiantly book again.
We are family of 19 which the Penholm suited us. Bedrooms were spacious and some of the views were excellent. I talked to Cleo beforehand for a few queries and she left a welcome pack for a 50th wedding anniversary. There is an entertainment room for pool, darts, cinema. There is also a juke box. So plenty of things for all the family to. The hot tub was used quite frequently. There is also BBQ facilities either charcoal or gas. The property is ideal for walkers and is close to several walks for people of various abilities. Penmaenmawar is a village with a covered Victorian street. It has a unique charm of days gone by
Sheelagh
Would have loved a floor plan so we could work out where to put each of our party beforehand. It was a wonderful house to stay in with three generations lots of separate rooms for relaxing, playing games etc and a great location between Conwy and Anglesey with Snowdonia behind you
This house was just perfect in every way. The location was really good, with amazing views from every room. The house was a fantastic size for our party of 13, we had lots of space for us all to do the things we wanted to. Everything you could possibly need was available at the house and the children we had in the party loved the games room, actually so did the adults! The house was spotless, and every room was so nicely decorated and comfortable. The owner was so helpful and kind to us, and we would recommend this place to anyone looking for a wonderful break in a fabulous house. We have stayed in many houses for a similar type of short break, but this is the best by far, amazing!
Nicola
We had a great stay and the weather made even better. great space for a large group and the games room is a bonus. great location even out of season there is lots to do and see nearby. Great communication from the owner, thank you Loved it that much weve booked again
Fabulous family time. Games and cinema room brilliant idea. Lots of relaxing time for the adults knowing the kids are safe playing together in cinema room. Welcome pack lovely idea. Rooms plenty big enough and comfortable. Everywhere spotless which shows the pride and care the owners take to make sure you have a fabulous time. We have never been able to have all our family together as no one has the room 17 of us this was the perfect place ample comfortable safe space. While the weather was a tad wet and windy feb it didnt spoil anything. Jason checked on us via txt to make sure everything was ok and welcome us another lovely idea. Would definitely return.
Beautiful house and done to a very high standard. Each room is unique and has a lovely holiday theme. We were a group with a baby, children, oldies and dogs ! Everyone loved it , especially the games room for the children and dads! It had everything including a Duke Box. A lovely welcome pack filled with real treats awaited us on our arrival. It says parking for 4 cars but we actually fitted 7 in , parked behind one another as once we were in we were not using the vehicles again until we left. That inclued 2 lge vans. We wouldn't hesitate to go there again and it was also a perfect location for Conway station ,a short stroll away. Thanks for putting the lights on for us before we arrived, it was an absolutely marvellous place for our family and friends to stay.
Carole
Absolutely amazing property for our family stay. The games room is fabulous for all ages. Thank you for the lovely welcome basket too. Well worth a visit
The property was fantastic. We really enjoyed getting together as a family of 9 Haven the dog the entertainment facilities were great. Jason was very helpful and responsive to our questions and queries a great host. I would say that the Customer Service by Sykes was debatable. It was impossible to contact them and I spent many hours on the phone trying to get prearrival information. It seemed that if I phoned the sales team I got straight through but customer supports was appalling.
Had a very nice time. My only gripe is the bedroom for our disabled guests was less than adequate, very small and cramped. Our disabled guests left early because of this. It seems disabled facilities were an afterthought. This is a big house and there is plenty of room for a larger bedroom, shower. Please take people with disabilities into account. They cannot use all of the facilities on offer and the small comforts they get are very important
The home itself in its location is absolutely stunning, very, very beautiful indeed, we were all taken aback at it's size and space that it afforded us. We had a most enjoyable week. The welcome pack was a lovely touch and helped us settle in very quickly. There were a few very minor janitorialmaintenance issues that arose that I plan to share with the property owner in private but these were expected from a property that has clearly been loved & used well over the years by it's guests, But nothing that would stop us booking again in the future. There was ample parking at the property for 4 large or maybe 5 or 6 smaller vehicles easily in the driveway. This was a home away from home for us and the location was just as special, we look forward to returning in a couple of years time to make more memories.
Christine
Had the most fabulous time celebrating a 60th birthday. Family group ranging from ages 2 to 68 and there was something for everyone. Gamescinema room was a huge success, everyone loved it, House was wonderful and everything had been thought of. Welcome pack was much appreciated. Beach was walking distance which was great. Can't recommend this place highly enough.
Jacqueline
This property was well equipped. The welcome hamper was a very nice touch. Everyone in our party thoroughly enjoyed the games room, and made great use of the hot tub although only one jet was working. We all had a great time.
Fantastic place for a family get together the owners are thoughtful the property ... Fantastic place for a family get together the owners are thoughtful the property was as it said lovely welcome pack too Would definitely recommend
Only wish we would have booked it longer ! ! Scaled snowdon whilst there and was the perfect place to come home to . Two very minor niggles 1 mattress on top floor in front right of house as you look out mattress could be better 2 in an ideal world a cover over hot tub so it could be used in the drizzle , 23 times we got in and it began to rain so we got back out again as no cover offerred . Im pretty sure we will visit again in the future as it was perfect for all 15 of us . Many thanks for allowing us to stay at your lovely venue
Kalpana
The property and our stay were both delightful. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there and appreciated all the amenities that were provided. The thoughtful touches, such as the hamper, hand soap, and washing up liquid, that were provided upon our arrival were very helpful, as we had not considered those items. Whenever we required assistance, the management was prompt in their response, which was greatly appreciated. We did encounter a slight challenge with parking when resident cars were parked opposite the driveway, making it a bit difficult to turn in. Perhaps widening the driveway entrance could alleviate this issue. Overall, we had a wonderful time and hope to return again in the future.
Lesley
Lots of room for our family get together for my husbands 70th birthday. Plenty of toys and facilities to keep young to 70 year olds happy. Plenty of places to visit, conwy castle, steam trains, kayaking, playparks. Needed longer to appreciate this area and a nice garden to. Would definitely recommend to large families with a wide age range. Would love to return and hopefully have warmer weather, but as I said plenty to do indoors and out and about. Thank you
Really lovely house which we all felt comfortable in. Our 6 grandkids ranging from 1 to 12, loved the facilities & were never bored. Appreciated the welcome pack enjoyed by all. Sadly only one problem but we managed. Opposite the gate on the road cars were parked making it very difficult to get cars in & out. Someone pulled up opposite gate & went to the house leaving the car there all day, I pointed out to her the difficulty with cars, but she ignored me, never said anything & walked off, which I found very rude & disrespectful. We didnt let it spoil our holiday but maybe get the council to put a line on the road opposite the gate. There was masses of space on the road to park so no need to do what they did. Again our holiday was great but just felt like I needed to mention the idiots lack of common sense.
This house is absolute amazing, we had a party of 12 adults, 2 children and 2 dogs, we were there to celebrate my 60th birthday, the bedrooms here are amazing, everybody loved the cinema and games room too, they owners have thought of everything, we managed to squeeze our 5 cars on the drive too, Penmaenmawr is lovely too, great beach for the dogs too, would recommend this lovely house to anyone!
Caroline
Just come back from a wonderful week at penholm. A beautiful house situated in a picturesque village with lots of other areas in easy reach. 5 minute walk in to the village. 10 minutes of that to the beach. The house had everything we needed and more and the welcome basket was a lovely unexpected touch. Perfect week away
This is a lovely house. Bedrooms and lounges all look newly decorated. The kitchen is a little dated but perfectly acceptable but I understand from Jason, the owner, that this is to be completely overhauled shortly. The hottub was a nice touch which was very well received by our group. The house is nicely positioned about 5 minutes from the beach and, for those who don't want to drive everywhere there is a terrific bus service along the coast between Bangor and Llandudno which runs every 20 minutes or so. We would happily stay here again and can recommend it to anyone looking for a large holiday home in this area.
We had a fabulous weeks stay. 18 in the company all found it fantastic, plenty of room for everyone, pool & darts competitions what a laugh. Great comfortable beds, everyone slept well. We met the owner who could not have been more helpful. I would recommend for any large party.
Such a lovely house we went to celebrate my 60th Birthday 16 Adults & 5 children. The accomodation & cleanliness were outstanding. The views were amazing. Everything you need was available even all kitchen equipment they have thought of everything. Cinema & games room was a great added bonus plus the hottub. The village & beach is nice 15 min walk ...lovely chippy...I would definately recommend this house it is perfect for any occasion.
Plenty of room for the whole family. Beds were clean and really comfortable. Games room enjoyed by everyone. Hot tub was great fun for the children. Enough to keep everyone happy with the poor weather. Kitchen well equipped and a lovely welcome pack. Would recommend.
What a beautiful house! Everything you could possibly need was provided for. When we needed to contact the owner he replied immediately. Would 100 recommend.
One of the best houses we have stayed in
Angela
Fantastic property for familyfriends gatherings. Bedrooms all beautiful and comfortable. Kitchen has everything you need. Gamescinema room was great along with hot tub. Second time weve been and will no doubt be coming back.
Lovely house with everything needed to enjoy a great week.
Spent 7 days at Penholm and there wasnt anything lacking, everything you needed was there. Games room and cinema was a big hit with the grandchildren and mums and dads. Owners were easy to communicate with. The welcome hamper was a nice touch, would definitely go again.
Louise
Wow, what a property! My husband and I booked Penholm for a joint big birthday celebration with family and friends. There were 19 people in our group with an age range of 16 months to 71. There was something to do and somewhere to go for everyone. The rooms were spotless and the welcome pack and flowers that were left in the kitchen table were a lovely surprise. Stunning property with stunning views! Emma, the supervisor was only a quick text away if we needed to contact her. What a memorable time we had and we all absolutely loved it. Penholm, you svore 1010!
Caroline
Wonder week with friends. Everything we needed was available within the home , which was very cosy. Totally recommend
The good weather and tremendous scenery made it a great week for our experienced walking group of 12. Penholm was a great base and we were very comfortable there and the small number of glitches were rectified immediately.Well equipped accommodation and entertainment facilities second to none.
Stefan
Penholm was a lovely home for the whole group and we enjoyed it to be so close to Llandudno and Anglesey. So we could do a lot of things in a short distance. We arrived very early, but the cleaning crew was very friendly and gave us space in the living room. That was perfect after a 12 h journey. Many thanks for that.
Stacey
This was a last minute trip as our original trip got cancelled. Trying to find a property for 14 people and Penholme came up. Wow what a place. It had everything you needed. So clean and the bedrooms were beautiful. It smelt nice everywhere. The gamescinema room was a great added touch and kept everyone entertained. The owner kept in touch all week and answered any questions we had. Thank you so much, we will be back.
Gareth
We recently held our wedding at Penholm House with our nearest and dearest and it was perfect from start to finish. We held the ceremony on the roof terrace with views of the mountains and sea. It really is the most stunning property, the themed bedrooms were amazing and were to be our wet weather photography backdrops but the sun came out for us on the day & stayed for the week! We had photographs in & around the house & garden as well as at the Sychnant Pass and on the beach, the local area is beautiful. Our family & friends had a perfect week with us, there is something for everyone at Penholm, the cinema and games room were a real plus. Jason the owner was very helpful beforehand, sending us extra photos to help with planning and he also recommended an amazing local caterer. We will definitely back to celebrate future anniversaries in what has become one of our favourite places. Highly recommended.
