Elizabethan Manor House Set In Beautiful Countryside | Gors-Y-Gedol

Great house – amazing space and location for big groups!

Great place. All 10 members of our family had a lovely stay together. We enjoyed the log fires and the large beds with spacious accommodation. Lots of interesting historical artefacts and a very well stocked kitchen.
It was great to wander around the grounds and explore the forests and walks nearby. The beautiful beaches are accessible. Any problems were quickly dealt with by the host. Our youngster called it “The castle”
The family intend to visit again next year.
Make sure that you book any restaurants in advance.

Gors-Y-Gedol was perfect for our stay. There were 11 of us and it was nice to all be together in one house. It wasn’t the height of luxury and a bit annoying that you had to walk through a bedroom to get to another bedroom but we knew that was the case before we went. It was definitely a bit quirky in places – one of the bathrooms had an interesting shower!

Great location – just a short drive to a lovely beach.

A note for the owners – there was no salt anywhere, I assume it had been used up because there was plenty of pepper. Also it would have been nice to have had hand towels in the various loos.

Apart from that we enjoyed our stay. Thank you.

Stunning mansion. Could not believe how beautiful it was. Looked straight out of a movie. Horses in the back, beautiful grounds, close to cute towns and beaches, stunning architecture/art/furnishings. More stunning than the pictures.

Just beautiful Everything- lovely showers and very comfy beds. Also nice and warm

Fantastic stay!

The house was wonderful- the kind of place that you really just have to see in real life. It is grand but also very comfortable. The bedrooms especially are very comfortable. The facilities were also great. The kitchen is kitted out with all you need (including a very large cafetiere!), and there are plenty of bathrooms, all very clean and with plenty of hot water.

The games room was a lovely touch, with a pool table, table football and a ping pong table. We also had a fire in the evening in the glorious fireplace!

Finally the location is great. While I’d recommend visiting a bigger town on the way like Bangor or Porthmadog to do a big shop before arriving (there’s PLENTY of fridge and freezer space). But for everything else, beaches, views, etc you could not ask for a better location. Besides, once you’re there, you’ll hardly want to leave!

Thank you so so much to the hosts for such a wonderful stay- we will certainly be coming back.

Exceptional. Very unique property with so much history, and in a beautiful location

My friends and I celebrated my 30th birthday at this amazing property! There was plenty of space, and had a lot of character. The communication of the owners were quite slow as they are farmers but the company who run the property are super responsive. We would 100% return though just maybe in the summer as such an old/big house can be quite cold in the winter/spring months.

The hall is so BIG – the pictures do not show the true size – meaning plenty of room for everyone! (We were a group of 12) Some parts of the home are in keeping with the Victorian era and others have been modified for ease. All in all – a spectacular stay for a big group! Very grand – very private – a very enjoyable & unique stay. Thank you so much! X

Perfect venue for weekend away with friends, 5 minutes drive away from the beach. There was a power cut in the village on our first night but the host immediately came over to provide candles. It lasted about 3 hours and actually added to the enjoyment of our stay. The house is steeped in history. Amenities as described and squeaky clean.

Had a wonderful experience, would definitely return.

The house is absolutely fantastic. This was our 4th stay. It is so spacious and is equipped with everything we need to host an amazing family weekend. The beds are really comfortable and there are always enough logs to keep the fire warm which makes for such a cosy stay. We stayed in the winter this time but we have stayed in the spring as well and we were able to make use of the grounds which was brilliant. We had a couple of questions whilst we were there and both Bens were so helpful and accommodating. Nothing was too much trouble. We’ll definitely be back!

We had a great weekend in this impressive property! Would recommend to people looking for something a bit different! We especially loved the games room!!

We had such a lovely weekend, which was not difficult considering how fantastic the place was. Thank you for having us and we have recommended to our wider networks to come and check it out for a wonderful retreat.

We had a family get together here for my mum’s 80th birthday. We needed somewhere with character and to have a special and different feel to it. We relaxed, cooked for 14 people and drank out in the sunshine. Beautiful walks and the perfect place to bring the dogs. Thank you, my mum had a wonderful time. Extremely clean and tidy ❤️

This is the most wonderful house – a grand historical property, but with all modern conveniences. There were 14 of us, ranging from 7 to 75 years old, and there was something for everyone. The younger ones loved the games room and playing in the garden, while the older ones appreciated the piano, the cosy library and roaring log fire in the hall. There’s plenty to do in the surrounding area with a lovely beach a couple of miles away, Harlech castle and prehistoric sites and traditional seaside entertainments in Barmouth. A great family holiday – thank you!

What a fabulous place! Stayed for a hen do and a grand dinner in the feasting hall. Lots of fun quirky interesting decor, a games room, a very entertaining bathroom ( one of many) all in a stunning location. Enjoyed the venue very much and have been recommending, including the walk to the beach, right left and centre. Thankyou 🙂

Beautiful and historic building and location, very secluded but access to everything we needed. Privilege to stay in such a cool place, gorgeous and quiet beach nearby. The mattresses were incredibly comfortable, better than a 5* hotel! Loved it!

Spent the most wonderful weekend in Gors-y-Gedol with friends. The house was completely magical. In beautiful surroundings in a lovely part of Wales but I would have been happy to never have left it. A truly special and unique place with fascinating history. I will remember the weekend forever – thank you so much . (Now just need to find the next occasion to re-book!) X

Terrific stay. Great amount of space to spread out, both in and outdoor. Well equipped kitchen facilities and the manor surroundings are gorgeous. Thoroughly enjoyed our weekend, definitely recommend it. Even with the max number of people there was enough areas to sit in a group or have some quiet time.

Our party of 10 adults and 3 teenagers had a wonderful five day stay at Gors-Y-Gedol Hall. It is a splendidly grand, old building, steeped in history and enjoying many original and historic features giving it a warm, comfortable ambience. There is plenty to explore both near and far – woodland walks, lakes, beaches, mountains etc and, in fact, the one wet day we had actually enabled us to really enjoy the building and its facilities – the Games Room for the energetically minded, the library to catch up on some reading and the sitting room for those that wanted a quieter time! It was reassuring to know that Ben was close at hand should we have required his assistance and all ten adults agreed that they would love to come again. It should be noted that the youngsters also echoed those sentiments!

Amazing property. Catered for every eventuality, it had everything we needed. Useful info provided in booklet. Beds comfy. Most of us ended up using the 2 modern showers but interesting to see the old one. Beautiful location with wonderful walk through nearby ancient woodland, along river. Full of bluebells when we visited. Thoroughly recommend. I can’t think of anything I’d change.

Multiple family birthdays enjoyed in this very interesting house. Comfortable beds, well catered for and we were kept nice and warm with the addition of a wood fire in the Hall. Wood supplied.

A really special place to stay, set in beautiful surroundings and a lovely part of the world. We have a family link to Gors-y-Gedol so to be able to celebrate my Dad’s 80th there with family and friends was just perfect – it was so lovely to see him and his brother reminisce, with much of the Hall unchanged (the tiger rug hanging over the stairs used to be in front of the fire in the main hall and my dad remembers sitting on its head as a little boy!) The stars of the show are the main hall and the dining room where you just feel immersed in the history of the place, but all the bedrooms were well furnished, clean, with super comfy beds. It’s a maze of corridors, connecting doors and staircases so we frequently ended up somewhere we weren’t expecting to and my nieces really enjoyed the games room (as did the adults!) Beautiful walks to explore from the door and not far from some lovely beaches which was perfect for the dog.
Ben was really responsive and helpful with a couple of things we needed help with/needed attention so we were very grateful.
A fabulous stay and we would love to go back. Diolch!

Amazing location and unbelievable place to spend a weekend with my family. Extremely spacious place with fantastic bedrooms and very comfy beds. Ample rooms to get lost in and acres of beautiful land to walk. Definitely will be returning and would highly recommend this perfect place for a friend or family gathering.

We had the most amazing stay at Gors y gedol. It is in truly the most magnificent place. Full of history and excitement. The kids had a blast. We will definitely return.

We’ve recently enjoyed a large family gathering at Gors-y-Gedol, and were fascinated by the history of the house which seemed to seep out of its walls. Unlike many holidays where the accommodation is just somewhere to sleep, this large house with its many rooms and special character was the star of our break, even a couple of power cuts only added to the experience.

Absolutely fantastic way for our family to come together and celebrate our parents 70th Birthdays. This Elizabethan Manor did not disappoint! We all thoroughly enjoyed exploring all the rooms, our favourite being the games room, so much so we are looking to book for a Christmas break. We have already recommended this place to our friends and family!

It’s rare that somewhere is undersold, but that’s the case here.

The house is a delight, each room is different and different doors, staircases and corridors link up to somewhere different.

I loved the library and spent hours there just relaxing after a day walking the fantastic beaches and along the beautiful stretch of river that leads directly to the pub.

💯 recommend this house and area.

We had a perfect family stay. The area was quiet with some lovely walks locally.
10 of us stayed in total. There was so much space for us all and ample amount of bathrooms.
The games room was the perfect addition to this stay!
It was clean and tidy throughout.
Would definitely stay again!

Another fantastic stay at this fabulous house.
It’s our second stay as a family and looking forward to returning again in May with friends to celebrate my 50th.
Such a great place to gather family and friends. If you have dogs it’s ideal with lots of grounds for running around and ball throwing in safety.

Absolutely fabulous stay. There were 9 of us and two dogs and we always had our own space to relax in. Really peaceful location with views of the sea we even had snow to make it truly atmospheric. As long as we kept the main entrance fire burning and doors closed the house stayed a lovely warm temperature.
Would truly recommend for a nice relaxing break where you can switch off.

Our second visit and won’t be the last. The addition of the games room was a real bonus for young and young at heart. Really nothing to fault about this fantastic place, even had bats and thunder to add to the ambiance. Thanks again.

We stayed for a family break in October 2022. The house was kept lovely and warm. This is the most magnificent property we have ever had the pleasure of staying in. There are more rooms than shown on the images and all the rooms are very very large. The games room is fabulous for adults and children. You really will get lost in this property, with doors, rooms and corridors everywhere. The grounds are large and excellent for the kids and dogs to run around.

Review for Cors-y-Gedlol Hall. “If you want to take a walk on the wild side or even a step through time, then look no further than a short or even better a long break at Cors-y-Gedol Hall. Embrace the architecture and period features and just imagine spending some time in history with family and friends as the embers die down of the feature fire place in the grand sitting room. A magical few days forgetting the frantic hustle and bustle of so called modern Britain and frequent bad news, just to amble if you wish , or simply sit, listen, reflect and relax. Quite simply magical.

My family and I loved celebrating my mother’s 90th birthday at the hall. There were 6 of us so the fact there are only two working showers meant it was workable. I doubt it would have worked if more people had stayed as we had to share them. This would not have been easy if we were not family. I feel some updating of washing facilities and some money spent on decor would really benefit this beautiful historic building.
Other than that the peace and quiet and impressive rooms were incredible to enjoy. And the surrounding area was very special.

We absolutely loved our stay at Cors-y-Gedol – the house is so full of character and the garden is magnificent! We were a party of 6 adults and 3 under 5s so there was plenty of room for everyone. It is in a great position, only a couple of miles from a quiet beach and less than 15 minutes from the lovely resort and beach of Barmouth and a similar distance from Harlech. We had fantastic weather so didn’t venture any further. It was an amazing holiday – we didn’t want to leave! Just to mention that the phone signal isn’t very good there but it didn’t really bother us. Also, there are apparently bats in the cellar – we made the mistake of keeping the front door open after dusk and one got into the house, but the owners sent someone promptly the next day to catch it and release it back outside.

This was our second stay in less than a year to celebrate family birthdays and Cors Y Gedol is an ideal place full of character, comfortable and well equipped, a sprawling place, large grounds and plenty to do nearby whether its walking, going to the beach or even the pub!

This is a very special house in a lovely location for a memorable family get together.

All 13 of us loved our weekend at your house.
It filled all our needs and more. The children loved the games- room and the kitchen is well equipped. The dogs had a fabulous time being free to play on the big lawns. We had a long nice walk to the beach, we were extremely lucky having glorious weather. The location of your house is fantastic. We would like to come again. Also if you ever get short notice cancellations I would appreciate if you’d let me know.
Just like to draw your attention to the loose roof tiles in case you didn’t know. My little grand daughter was by the green bins when one or two roof tiles came crashing down and just missed her. This happened on the Friday when we arrived.
When we looked up we could see quite a few loose tiles.
Thank you so much for a lovely long weekend.

Thank you for an amazing time with my family of 14. The house was more than we could of imagined, it was like stepping back in time. We couldn’t of asked for anything more. Everybody commented about what a wonderful time they had.
The house was that big you had to think twice about which direction to take to find a room. Every time you entered a room there was a piece of furniture or history you hadn’t seen the first time around.
Truly amazing experience and will definitely book again.
Thank you

We have just had the most amazing Christmas as a family of 11 at Gors y Gedol . Hall was wonderful everything we could have wanted and more .
We have taken away as a family amazing memories to treasure for ever . Already planning for our next visit . Thank you to Ben who looked after us really well .

The house is absolutely stunning and we had a very comfortable stay. The facilities are great and the house is really spacious. We had a couple of questions for our hosts and they were very accommodating!

Our stay at Gors-Y-Gedol was a dream! A long weekend away from London, and we were transported into this most precious and beautiful place. All 13 of us, including two little ones, had the time of our lives. We simply did not want to leave and are already planning our return. Thank you so much to Ben and Beth for sharing the one and only Gors-Y-Gedol with us.

Just returned from a wonderful week at Gors-y-Gedol for all of us-8 adults, 2 toddlers and a baby. Such a beautiful house and surroundings, big enough for us to have our own space, very comfy beds, roaring fire and a well equipped kitchen
Was very clean, especially considering the size and age of the house
Lots of lovely walks with the dogs and gorgeous beaches nearby
Can highly recommend and definitely 5*

Gors y Gedol is quite simply a magical place to stay – nor more, no less. It’s beyond my ability to do it justice in a review.

A brilliant house to hold our family of 14 (my delayed 80th birthday) after so long after the covid restrictions. Cors Y Gedol a house packed with history and surprises in every corner. The kids had a terrific time together in the games room and the mom’s and dad’s the numerous walks around and places to visit. The music room and library were great places to relax along with evenings spent in front of a log fire with a glass of highland nectar. Wonderful. I did not encounter the ghost sleeping in the Kings Room!

Wow! The Hall is stunning and a delightful place to spend a weekend in such glorious weather too. We couldn’t have wished for anything better.

“The gift that keeps on giving” and what a great find in North Wales!
Gors y Gedol Hall is a maze of rooms and has more than enough space for 14 adults. Each bedroom is spacious and incredibly warm with the heating throughout the property. We lit the fires in the main living area which kept us toasty and warm. It was to be expected with such a large traditional hall with doorways and corridors throughout some areas could be a little drafty and cooler – however the fires kept us more than warm enough and were very easy to light.

The kitchen is fully equipped with all of the modern day necessities and with more than 3 living areas, additional dining rooms and a games area you could easily stay for a week and not bump into any of your party!

The Hall was incredibly clean and well looked after. The surrounding grounds were well kept and the lawn very large.

The booking was a surprise for my sister and she was so impressed that she cried as we entered the drive way as she took in the beautiful house. Each of us are planning our next visit to Gors y Gedol with more family and friends when we can. There was so much the Hall and the area had to offer which we didn’t get a chance to enjoy on our short weekend stay. We are desperate to come back to experience more as soon as we can.

Fabulous stay, the house and the surrounding area were absolutely beautiful. My only regret is that my stay wasn’t long enough, will definitely book again.

We have just returned from another wonderful week at Gors y Gedol. A chance for the whole family (ages 10-69) to meet up and spend some much needed time together. We all love the Hall (next years holiday already booked). It has boundless charm and we are always so well looked after by Ben. This year we were unable to book activities but this didn’t matter as there was plenty to do in and around the hall, lots of walks, visits to the beach, and games in the garden. Thank you again for another memorable holiday.

Wonderful time despite having to cut holiday short by 4 days because of virus. However, we are intending to return. Beds were very comfortable and linen good quality. We had lovely fires at night with plenty of wood provided by Ben.

Amazing weekend at this stunning house. Everything was catered for and seamless. The most comfortable bed we have ever slept in!
Truly special. 5 stars!
(the kitchen could do withan oven glove if I am being pedantic)

Had a wonderful stay for New Year, the house was perfect for all of us aged from 4 weeks to 55. Comfortable bedrooms and plenty of reception rooms for everyone to do their own thing. Meals were grand in the fabulous dining room and we didn’t move far from the roaring fire in the main room in an evening. Location was perfect with some lovely beaches on the doorstep.

We had a lovely family Christmas at Cors Y Gedol.
It was a marvellous experience giving you an insight into how the aristocracy lived in years gone by.
The welcome pack was nice thank you.
All 7 bedrooms were used.
The grounds are spacious so the kids and dogs had space to play.
The location is great and we did the walk down to the Ysgethin Inn which was superb. Several lovely beaches very close by as well.
Suggestions – an extra sink in the utility area would be very useful. The heating in some rooms didn’t really get the temperature up to a modern day level and some radiators were only lukewarm so this needs sorting out.
Another kettle in the kitchen would be good too.

We had a great stay at Gors y Gedol Hall last week. The house was well equipped and cosy. When we arrived we contacted the owner asking for a couple of items which we had thought would be there and he immediately brought them round. Our only negative comment would be the lack of a fire guard for the man open fire. In the notes it asked for guests to use the fire guard and not leave the fire unattended but we couldn’t find one anywhere.

Wonderful location and a very special place.

We stayed n the Manor House at the end of August. e were a party of 12 and we loved the location and the house. The accommodation was perfect for us.

See our comments on 30th June 2017.
When you return to somewhere for a second time you can often be disappointed this was most definitely not the case with our second visit!
Our visit this time further confirmed that this is a special place in a special location.
A must visit place to stay.
We will return .

We came to Cors y Gedol 2 years ago for a family get together and returned this year for a full week
We love the spaciousness of the house and the wonderful setting
So easy for those who wanted to go walking, those who wanted the beach and those who wanted to visit some wonderful places close by.
It’s an excellent facility for a large gathering, the house offering comfortable facilities whilst location offers a wide variety of activities.
The house has all you need for a comfortable stay whatever the weather
It was enjoyed by all the family of mixed ages
I am sure we will book again next year.
Alison and John Thomson

Just back from a family holiday week here – party of 12 adults, 2 children and a baby. Fabulous house with an amazing atmosphere- perfect for murder mystery evening, dinner party and games nights. The fire in the hall was kept going all week as weather not good but plenty of wood provided. Beds very comfortable in beautiful bedrooms. The only issues were in the kitchen. Two small fridges and only one kettle doesn’t make sense when 14 adults are staying. We had quite a bit of food go off and couldn’t make a cup of tea/coffee for everyone at the same time. Would also suggest the house information booklet was updated……..

We were 13 for a walking break mostly in our 70’s. We all thought that the house was just beautiful….so much room for us all …lovely evenings gathered round the huge log fire. Walking from the door, swimming from lovely beaches and great painting without moving out of the grounds. Hopefully we will return.

We have celebrated my 50th here and now step daughters 30th .
The ages of our party ranged from 14 to 83 and everyone loved it .
Amazing place we are already looking to book next year .
Thank you

We stayed at the Manor House for a long weekend and loved every minute, we were a party of 14 including 3 children and thoroughly enjoyed our break. The Manor has some lovely original features with modern touches to the bathrooms and kitchen, the owners supplied a lovely welcome hamper and a huge supply of logs for the fire. We enjoyed the walks through the woods down to the near by Inn and the stunning scenery around Talybont and Barmouth. We would definitely recommend the hall to friends and family and hope to return in the near future. Only negatives are water pressure in bathrooms which can be managed if you run 1 shower at a time. All in all a fabulous house and surroundings and plenty ro see and do. We would recommend 1957 restaurant for food.

What a fab place, easy to book, great communications with Louise, can not fault the Manor or Dioni. Lovely walk through the wood to the local pub to earn your dinner and then walk off. House soon warms up on a cold day with a fab heating system as well as log fires. Great cooking facilities if required, comfy beds and lining, soft towles, sheer luxury and worth every penny. Looking forward to try some more of your properties, The local steam Ffestiniog railway is a must and a great day out but pre book the zip wire at the top if you wanna go.

We were a party of 8 70 year olds on a very wet week. The house was so welcoming, warm and comfortable. Sitting round the fire talking, laughing and celebrating friendship. Perfect. Impressively they had dealt with all the previous comments. The showers had good pressure, there were 3 cafeteires, lots of champagne flutes etc. This is a lovely old, atmospheric place. Even in horrid weather it feels a great holiday.

Superb long weekend .
The Manor has all the old charm and hasnt been sploit by modernization or stupid HHE regs . EG Fire doors etc .
Fantastic loved it .Any small problems where sorted by our contact Ben . Rapidly
Only thing maybe get another flue liner done .say in lounge so u could have a 2nd real fire on the go .
Thanks loved it will be back

Our Party of 13 had a Fabulous weekend at the Manor House to celebrate my wife’s 65th Birthday, we had a Murder Mystery night on the Saturday which everyone enjoyed as the setting was perfect. Most most of our time was spent in the great Hall with a roaring log fire that our four grandchildren kept going with the plentiful supply of logs provided.

A really large house, full of character, with every modern convenience ….brilliant. Would love to go back

Fabulous place – we were a party of 13 including 5 children. We loved it – log fire and plenty of logs. Well equipped kitchen and lots of bathrooms. Would definitely go there again.

What an amazing, quirky place. Have just returned from a fabulous 3 night stay to celebrate my 50th Birthday. The decor and furnishings are in keeping with its character and property very well equipped. We utilised all 7 bedrooms as there were 14 adults and no complaints.
We had outside caterers in one evening who were absolutely fantastic.
My only negative would be that there is not enough glasses when catering for 14 and no champagne flutes.
The water went off briefly due the torrential rain we had that blocked the filters but this was soon rectified.
Plenty of fire wood provided.
All in all fantastic and I would have no hesitation in booking again. Thank you.

What a fantastic property! I booked this as a surprise for my UK and German family coming and we spent a wonderful weekend at Cors y Gedol. There were 11 of us and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience, especially the German part of our group – they’d never seen anything like it
The house was well equipped and the bedrooms were very comfortable. As the weather was not at it’s best we especially enjoyed the evenings in front of the enormous fire in the baronial hall as plenty of logs were supplied.
Can thoroughly recommend the Manor House.

The hall was in keeping with its age with some nicely refurbished bedrooms ,all very comfortable beds. The Kings bed chamber and bathroom were quirky and huge and in keeping with the age of the property. With such a large place it is difficult to keep clean and two of our party suffered hay fever type reactions due to the dust. It is obviously a venue that is being repaired and upgraded bit by bit but well worth a stay for the historical value .

It was a great experience to spent time in a unique old building of 1576, really surprise how this has maintained and well equipped and We loved our stay.

The most fantastic 50th birthday loved every minute .

What a great week we had, celebrating my 50th birthday with ten friends. The house is spacious, warm, comfortable, well equipped, clean, and has tons of unique features – and character. And the beds are about the most comfortable I have ever come across, including my own.

One of our friends called the week “legendary”, and the house played a large part in it.

If the following suggestions sound like nitpicking, they just show on what a high level any criticism of the manor house is. First, the water pressure and general shower situation makes it really hard to keep 12 active people reasonably clean. And the lack of any coffee making facility in the house has been taken care of by our purchase of a french press. Enjoy!

A great house for a large group to share – we were 3 families consisting of 6 adults and 8 kids.

It is a very social house which works well and the kids loved exploring.

You have to time your showers due to the water pressure but be realistic with your expectations given the age of the house and it’s a lot of fun.

Any issues we had were quickly resolved by Ben.

Absolutely fantastic weekend with my family in this extraordinary manor house , we all enjoyed staying in this lovely place ,

Well we have enjoyed another wonderful break at this magnificent house, thank you for the lovely welcome hamper and the plentiful logs. We were warm as toast as November turned cold. We enjoyed a fun packed family weekend at this unique and very special place. We will be back – just glorious!

Stayed at Cors y Gedol for a week from 14th October. It was my 50th birthday celebration with my family. The hall was everything and more that I was expecting. Beautiful setting in Snowdonia a house filled with history and atmosphere, far too many special features to mention…just look at the pics. We themed my birthday night to Tudor/Elizebethan and made memories that will never be forgotten. Thank you Ben and Beth for sharing this wonderful place for others to enjoy.

We have just returned home after a wonderful 3 nights at Cors y Gedol. What a fabulous place with plenty of room for all the extended family. Large bedrooms with plenty of ensuite bathrooms. 2 lounges and a marvellous great hall with a cosy fire for sitting by in the evening.
We had some great days out in Barmouth and Harlech returning in the evening for a large family meal in the dining room. The kitchen was very well equipped and a delivery from Tesco was a bonus.
Beth and Ben whose family the hall belongs to were very helpful with prior information of a local caterers. We also had extra logs delivered on the second day.
Every member of the party had an enjoyable time and I am sure we will return sometime in the future.
An excellent house in a great location with lots to do within easy access for all the family.

Just returned from a fabulous weekend at Cors Y Gedol. The house is simply wonderful with it’s quirky and historical features. There was 11 of us staying and there was plenty of room for all. We enjoyed cooking in the well equipped kitchen and having a feast in the dining room, then congregating around the fireplace. We did a murder mystery party and the setting was perfect! Could not recommend this place enough. I’m pretty sure we will be back again!

We had a lovely stay at Cors y Gedol. The house is clean and well-equipped, the kids loved playing in both the house and the gardens & it’s also a great base for other activities. You can walk down the river to the Ysgethin pub or to the beach, up river takes you to the lake or you can walk across the fields into Dyffryn. We’d definitely stay again!

What a fantastic property! On arrival we were found searching for our National Trust membership cards – such was its impressive historical grandeur.

A lovely week with our extended family exploring the local Welsh countryside set against the backdrop of a truly unique and one off holiday let.

The accommodation is very well set up with all that you will need to make your stay comfortable. There’s lots to do locally – so much so that after a week we were feeling like we had only scratched the surface. Hopefully one day we’ll be back to scratch a bit deeper.

Enjoy!

We have just returned to this wonderful house for the second time (won’t be the last). We enjoyed it even more this time, and stayed an extra night. We discovered a lovely new walk down through the woods, following streams and paths down through the forest, just lovely. The house is simply stunning. The usual warm welcome from the owner and plenty of logs for that gorgeous fire. Beautifully clean throughout. Fantastically well equipped. Just brilliant. Thank you so much!

We had a wonderful weekend at Gors y Gedol, just the setting for a celebration with its gorgeous grounds. The bedrooms were all superb, well furnished with comfy beds. Bathrooms large, clean and warm. Lovely roaring fire in the reception area, a very authentic room of that period (1571) with lots of wood panelling. Kitchen was modern with plenty of utensils and crockery. We would certainly revisit this fab hall. Margaret Trickey

We have just returned from a 3 night stay at Cors Y Gedol. The house comfortably held 11 of us for a family get together and was large enough for us all to have our own space if needed. The fire was a great focal point where we all congregated in the evening and still plenty of dancing room. Logs were plentiful and replenished when we had got low. The kitchen was well equipped and bedrooms were clean and comfortable. The only downside to the weekend was the water pressure, it made it difficult to shower if water was running in any other part of the house. I would still recommend this house to a group of friends or families wanting to get away together in a unique property.

I spent a week at this absolutely fabulous manor house with my family for birthday celebrations. The bedrooms were all tastefully furnished with fresh clean linen and plenty of towels. The kitchen is modern and well equipped, although it would have been useful to have a milk jug and tray (very minor points). The extensive grounds were an ideal playground for the children. However the pond is getting rather overgrown and the terrace area needed weeding and tidying. We all loved the peaceful relaxed surroundings and were impressed with the many interesting features in the house.

Simply superb! As its says above the fireplace in Latin. Follow justice and a life of discovery. There is plenty to discover nearby, from the golden sands and sea at the end of the driveway to the lonely foot paths and ancient drovers tracks that run off into the wild hinterland of the Rhinog mountains. Past cairns, standing stones and neolithic burial chamber. The Mansion is old and full of history with wonderfully modern bedrooms, bathrooms and a new kitchen. We all had a great time.

Wonderful stay at this beautiful Manor House. Unbelievable setting, very well equipped throughout. Extremely comfortable bedrooms, glorious roaring log fire. What a fabulous weekend we had. We will be back, and can’t wait. Superb break, thank you very much indeed.

We stayed at the Manor House between 11th. and 14th. March and would say this accommodation was unique. The property was full of original character features yet modernised in respect of the bedrooms and kitchen, to a very high standard. The grounds were interesting and the lake was a magnet for one of our dogs. Young children would require supervision in this area. The owner was very helpful and we were never short of logs for the fires and for a building of this age all rooms were surprisingly warm. The location is ideally situated for the beach, countryside and adventure sports. “The Last Inn” at Barmouth is recommended for a visit to a character Inn/Restaurant.
The 12 people who were in our party all, without reservation, recommend the Manor House as an ideal base for a long or short stay.

The Manor House was fantastic !! The property was well equipped and had the benefits of recently refurbished kitchen and bathrooms. Plenty of logs were provided for the huge open fires. Furniture was in keeping with the age of the property. Beds were very comfortable with fresh linen. A bonus was both Tesco and Asda deliver groceries to the Hall. Looking forward to going back 🙂
