Pen-y-Dyffryn welcomes gay, lesbian and same sex couples. This beautiful hotel in the Shropshire and Wales border hills is a supremely peaceful country house providing the perfect retreat to escape from the madding crowd and enjoy the stunning Welsh border countryside. Set in five acres of grounds with no passing traffic, this silver-stone former rectory exudes a magical calm.

There is a selection of gorgeous bedrooms where private patios, spa baths and stunning views abound. Dining in the elegant restaurant, where huge south-facing sash windows frame the ever- changing and beautiful views, is central to the whole enchanting Pen-y-Dyffryn experience and the food is sensational, as you would expect from a restaurant with two AA Rosettes.

We aim to capture that rare combination of discreet and unobtrusive hospitality, luxury, and high standards of service and accommodation that guarantee that “away from it all” feeling.
