General Info |
|
| |
Houses on the splendid scale of Plas Glansevin are few and far between. Set in ten acres, Plas Glansevin comprises a Mansion House and a Coach House, which can accommodate parties of 12 to 62. The Mansion contains 19 bedrooms ranging from large ensuite to more modest accommodation. You can book the Mansion for a minimum of 24 guests or a maximum of 39. If your party is larger, you can also hire the Coach House that is located adjacent to the Mansion, with its own drive and grounds. The Coach House has 12 bedrooms that can sleep up to 23 guests. And of course, if your party is no bigger than 23 then you can hire the Coach House on its own. Both houses can be hired on either a catered or self-catered basis. We have strong relationships with local renowned caterers and trusty suppliers, including grocers and butchers that can supply fresh Welsh produce. |

Further Details |
It is thought that a dwelling has been sited at Plas Glansevin for about a thousand years; the 800-year-old oak tree that dominates the front lawn, bearing witness to the site's history. With its enchanting bohemian ambiance, Plas Glansevin offers total flexibility, allowing guests to create their own style of event, whether simple or luxurious; large gathering or small group; bustling or relaxed. Plas Glansevin is dedicated entirely to your needs. We can offer a range of housekeeping services from discreet domestic help to full, attentive, silver service. Local culinary celebrity Charlotte Roskill is our catering co-ordinator. Charlotte and all our caterers use only local, and where possible, organic suppliers, and they relish the challenge of tailoring a menu to your individual needs and appetites. However if you prefer, you may have the property entirely to yourselves with no outside staff or caterers. With games rooms in both houses, children are well thought of, and the mansion's intricate layout, makes it a great place for a game of hide and seek. Evening entertainment, including after-dinner speakers, music or even magicians can be supplied by arrangement. Wireless broadband runs throughout Plas Glansevin. Reception rooms in both the Mansion House and Coach House can double as meeting rooms, and be laid out to your specification with flip charts and wall-mounted projector screens.

What visitors have said about Plas Glansevin |
| |
| |
I've used Glansevin a number of times and have found it an excellent venue for groups, as it's very conducive for them relaxing, sharing their ideas, and really having a chance to get away from office distractions. And unlike a hotel it's exclusive and private.

We absolutely LOVED our stay at Plas Glansevin! We felt instantly at home as soon as we walked through the door: really liked the decor, lots of wood, solid furniture and good colours where needed. Nothing too precious so didn't have to worry about taking our shoes off, as it were, but certainly good enough quality to want to take very good care of it all.

We all had the best week there and it was definitely down to the easy, open plan living space of the kitchen and lounge but then also the fact that everyone could escape to their own rooms (with private bathrooms) if they
wanted to.
The coach house was exactly what I wanted for our group and everyone agreed it was like having our own private hotel. The kitchen was incredible and fully stocked with everything we needed, and again having the dining table that seated our whole group so easily was just the icing on the cake.
We would definitely recommend the house to others to use and may even consider using it again for ourselves if the opportunity came up.
