The House

I cannot recommend Plas Pantyderi highly enough! We booked the house as a large family gathering and we were extremely impressed. Great communication from Anna beforehand which helped with our planning of a fantastic weekend. The house was spotless and it looked like it had recently been decorated. The attention to detail was perfect.

The layout of the house worked really well for us, children and parents on the first floor with the other other adults at the quieter side of the house. The bar area was a great hit and loved by everyone, perfect for all the party games!

Everyone agreed that Plas Pantyderi was a great find and we would all love to come and stay again.

Just spent an amazing 3 nights at the manor celebrating my sisters 30th Birthday celebrations. With family and friends all native to North Pembrokeshire we were looking for a venue for 22 to accommodate our party. The manor exceeded all expectations.

Bedrooms were huge with a majority containing en-suite facilities. As for the rest of the manor it has to be seen to believe.

Bar, Kitchens, Dining room, 2 snugs,snooker room and immaculate grounds to enjoy.

Anna and family welcomed us to their manor and they didn’t disappoint.

5 stars. Thank you so much

A stunning Mansion House with spacious well appointed bedrooms and kitchen refurbished to a very high standard.

Large area of lawns with lake in front of Mansion give spectacular vista looking onto oak parkland.

Highly suitable for large family function or wedding.

Hosts very attentive and accommodating.

Surrounding coastline offers glorious walks and photo opportunities.

Absolutely fabulous location to celebrate a 60th birthday. Anna was very supportive throughout and very prompt with replies.

The decor is immaculate and has retained the feel of a grand old Manor House. Lovely touches with flowers in many of the rooms and the open fires made up ready to light.

Beautiful house and grounds -highly recommended.

We recently stayed at Plas Pantyderi Manor with a group of 19 family and friends and had a fantastic weekend. It's rare you stay somewhere that looks better in real life than it does in the photos but we were all blown away by the house and grounds.

It's a special place that's been amazingly renovated throughout, with beautiful views all around. We were very sad to leave, but hope to return again soon.

I would highly recommend the house to anyone thinking about staying.

Booked Plas Pantyderi for my partners 30th birthday with a group of 16 friends. We had the most wonderful weekend and I couldn’t fault Anna who I liaised with for booking. She dealt with small last minute changes I requested efficiently and nothing was too much trouble.

The house and grounds were stunning and just what we were after. The bedrooms were each beautifully presented and the house was large enough so what we could all spread out and weren’t all on-top of each other. The communal areas were great and we really loved that the building had lots of character with a modern feel.

We will hopefully we back again next year for a reunion visit.

I booked Plas Pantyderi for me and group of 15 friends. Anna was really easy to deal with and responded quickly to any questions we had leading up to the arrival date and during our time there.

The house and grounds looked amazing on their website and were even better in person. Had the best time and would highly recommend this venue. Thank you again for a wonderful stay.
