What a great place to stay.? - robhocking? - 23 Feb 2009

Before going I checked previous reviews for this lovely little Bed and Breakfast which brought back 39 5 star results out of 40 reviews. (Even the 40th which gave it 4 stars didn't have anything unpleasant to say) Wow they weren't wrong. We only stayed for one night but felt so welcome by Shirley. Her house is immaculate and she cannot do enough to help you. Thanks again Shirley. The area is so lovely too, we wished we had booked in longer. Just be careful. The address isn't quite where it's shown on Google Earth as of 20/2/09. It's on the wrong street

16 Mar 2009 I stayed with Shirley and Norman Allen at Plasnewydd for 3 days and I can honestly say you are made to feel very welcome. The breakfasts are amazing and the rooms are comfortable, clean and cosy. Shirley and Norman are the best hosts I have ever stayed with and I have travelled a considerable amount. They are extremely helpful and friendly and will assist you in whatever way they can. I can truly say I will stay with them whenever I visit Wales and would highly recommend their B & B to everyone

My husband first stayed at Plasnewydd Bed & Breakfast in March whilst on a cycling weekend with his friends. All five of them had a wonderful time and came back raving about the cycling, the scenary and Shirley's B&B. On this basis we returned in July to be very warmly welcomed by Shirley and Norman, which was wonderful as we 'd had a long drive and arrived quite late in the evening. Our room was extremley comfortable and clean and the breakfast laid on by Shirley was fantastic. Shirley has managed the near impossible for a B&B, which is that you really do feel at home - especially when enjoying the cosy guest lounge while watching a film from their DVD library. Nothing is too much trouble. Shirley has lots of useful tips and pointers about where to go and what to see locally, which is lovely and adds that extra personal touch to your stay, This really is a beautiful part of the country and one that all should experience. Get your hiking boots, bikes, bog snorkel and pony ride bookings sorted and go and experience the great outdoors!

Email received from Michael Burns on his return home to Arizona, USA.

Dearest Shirley, I would just like to say thank you for having such a wonderful B&B on such a dreary day. I was caught in a storm, rained upon, cold, and wet; your home was a joy to stay in on that night. Breakfast on Monday morning was excellent as well. You are a brilliant hostess and it is all too easy to see why you've gotten such great reviews from people all over the globe. Thank you for running such a fine home and for being so kind and welcoming. I hope that I'll be able to come back in September on my way through to the Brecon Beacons with a friend later this year. You will be highly recommended to anyone I know planning a trip to Wales.

Most sincerely,
Michael J. Burns
