Reviews
“After delish puddings, we retreat to the prettily decorated drawing-room arranged for comfort and lounging about in. Back in our room, we read of the owners’ interest in all things organic – pork, venison, even Earl Grey tea. Next morning, sustained by a brilliant breakfast, served with as much attention as dinner, we go outside and stand on the look-out platform. The land slopes steeply beneath us to a valley and a rushing stream, beyond which is Wales. We can’t help thinking that if we stayed here for a few days we’d return to London as two much less stressed people.”
Daily Telegraph.
“One of the most beautiful settings of any inland hotel we know.”
The Good Hotel Guide.
“A gloriously tranquil spot, the décor is stylish, food is a key attraction.”
The Which? Hotel Guide.
“A retreat in which to totally relax and unwind. A treasure”. Nominated two years running as Johansen Country Hotel of the Year.”
Johansen Hotel Guide
The perfect retreat. All bedrooms are individually furnished, several with Jacuzzi baths or private patios, and the majority have spectacular south-facing views over the gardens and surrounding hills
“Staggeringly beautiful scenery surrounds this old rectory…….nearly every room has spectacular views.”
Alistair Sawday’s Special Places to Stay.
“A superb retreat from all the stress and bustle of everyday life. The ideal place to clear the mind, fill the lungs with clear country air and recharge the batteries. Once visited never forgotten.”
Best Loved Hotels.
“There’s so much to do here – definitely one of my favourite places both inside and outdoors. No wonder they have so many regulars.”
Sharon Ring, Sainsbury’s Magazine.
“In a gorgeous garden, has wonderful views westwards to the Welsh mountains. First class food. Good walking from the door including the Offa’s Dyke circular tour.”
Independent on Sunday “Hotel rooms with great views”
“There are few better places to get stuck into tea and cake than on the terrace of Pen-y-Dyffryn. It catches the full force of the afternoon sun and on fine days you’ll find the entire clientele out there, pretending to read, but actually just soaking up the heady rural atmosphere.”
Sunday Times.
