Pen y Dyffryn - a retreat and a hotel.


I was invited to a lunch party in the Pen-y-Dyffryn Hotel on 2nd July and found it to be an oasis of calm and a great place to relax amidst beautiful border scenery. This former Georgian Rectory is 100 yards from the Welsh border. It has 5 acres of grounds and no passing traffic.

A great place to explore Offa’s Dyke-but make sure you don’t miss any of the meals!

The standard of cuisine was first class.

The country in this border region is pasture and woodland-and well watered at that! By no means flat.

  1. I seem to remember this place is near some limestone so you can go fossil hunting while you're there.

  2. Did you get a tour of the hotel? What are the rooms like?
