MICHELIN 2024. Plas Dinas Country House is AA Rosette Restaurant, Luxury Accommodation and Wedding Venue in an Historic Home, Snowdonia. A fairy-tale romance that once captured the hearts and minds of a nation. When Antony Armstrong-Jones married the Queen's sister, Princess Margaret, the nation and wor

ld was captivated. They were the 'it' couple of their time. She a beautiful Princess, he from a not so ordinary background but untitled. His family home was Plas Dinas, Caernarfon, now our beautiful Country House Hotel & award-winning restaurant, The Gunroom. We have a carefully curated collection of family memorabilia, much of which still belongs to the Armstrong-Jones family. Guests often spend hours wandering the corridors enjoying a behind-the-scenes look at the lives of this fascinating family. Join us for Afternoon Tea, our award-winning dining experience at the Gunroom restaurant with Head Chef and TV personality Daniel Ap Geraint or stay overnight in one of our ten luxurious, individually designed en-suite rooms. Plas Dinas has an enviable reputation for creating incredible memories, offering tailor-made bespoke wedding services on an 'exclusive use' basis throughout the year, but these dates do get booked up quickly. We look forward to giving you a ''Royal'' welcome.

What a year 2024 has been! We have had the pleasure of working on such wonderful exclusive use weddings and private celebrations.

We only release a small number of dates each year as we balance our fabulous restaurant and hotel availability. The majority of our weddings are intimate and foodie focused weddings with a small number of larger marquee weddings taking place. Each wedding is so very different and we work to express each couple in their special day.

We are now closing our diary to new weddings and events up until October 2025. You can now secure a date in October, November and December 2025 and from February 2026, with availability for one more wedding during these months.

The exception to this is our elopement package for 2 people which is non-exclusive and proving incredibly popular for next year. We can work on this package from June 2025 onwards.

We cannot wait to work with you all over the coming months and thank you for choosing our beautiful country house as the backdrop to your special day.

This is one of our new dishes on our delicious December menu. Our monthly changing 9-course fine dining menu features an array of seasonal and Welsh produce. This dish features Black Truffles from Monmouthshire. The truffles grown on their farm are extremely high in perfume and flavour due to the high concentrations of Iron, copper, magnesium, zinc and manganese in their soils.

They were the first to cultivate the summer truffle in Wales and the first to cultivate the winter perigord truffle in the United Kingdom.

Today we would like to introduce you to Val and Del, two of our Supervisors in our 'Perfectionist' team more commonly known as Housekeeping.

We often mention just how much our Plas Dinas team are like our work family, we truly feel so very lucky to work with such a wonderful team.

Del often refers to Plas Dinas as her second home and Val virtually lives here. They make working at Plas Dinas so very special and add to the very magical 'home from home' experience that we strive to deliver for our guests. With each room being so very different from the next, the attention to detail and storytelling required in the delivery of the rooms on a daily basis is quite the task.

The skill and care they bring to our team is truly wonderful and we would be lost without our fairy godmothers.
