Treat Yourself to a Relaxing Short Break in Shropshire
Care-free and indulgent hotel short breaks is what we do at Pen-y-Dyffryn Hotel. No weddings, conferences or anything else that might disturb the unique calm of this countryside retreat in the Shropshire Hills. Good food, comfortable bedrooms, cosy lounges and fantastic scenery all around you. What’s not to like?
All Short Breaks include complimentary Clotted Cream Tea on arrival and a four-course meal each night. There is also a superb spread of fruits, compotes and sizzling hot dishes for breakfast in the morning.
Romantic Breaks
We provide a great location for a romantic break, perhaps with a Double Spa Bath in your bedroom. The secluded situation, relaxed atmosphere, log fires and wonderful food has won us the AA “Romantic Hotel of the Year Award”. We have also held a 2 AA Rosette Food Award for over 20 years now, the longest anywhere in Shropshire.
Walking Breaks
Or perhaps a walking break is more your cup of tea. The hotel is right on the border between England and Wales so we are ideally placed for walking in Shropshire and Wales. We have produced about 20 printed walking guides freely available from the hotel. All walks start right from the front door. Bring stout shoes!
Gourmet Breaks
We are a widely acclaimed fine-dining venue, so Gourmet Breaks are our bread and butter. (Excuse the pun!) We are the longest established AA Two Rosette restaurants in Shropshire and have been for over 20 years now. Our ingredients are fresh, healthy, and we use mainly local produce. We have also been in The Good Hotel Guide for 20 years, winning many accolades including “Hotel of the Year – Cesar Award”.
National Trust Breaks
If you want to combine your short break with visiting castles, stately homes and wonderful gardens, we are very well situated. There are four superb National Trust properties within 30 minutes of the hotel – Powis Castle, Chirk Castle, Attingham Hall and Erddig Hall. And about an hours drive away is Bodnant, famed for it’s wooded landscape, Laburnum arch and the national collection of Rhododendrons and Azaleas.
Golf Breaks
Or if golf is your bag, enjoy a golfing break. We have six superb eighteen-hole golf courses within 20 minutes of the hotel, including Ian Woosnam’s home course at Llanymynych. Tee off in England and hole out in Wales. That will test you!
Spa Breaks
If you want to really chill out, take a spa break. We have a team of professionally trained therapists who will come to your room at a time of your choosing. They offer a variety of therapies, from Aromatherapy and Indian Head Massage, to facials and full body cleansing. These can be booked in advance, or when you arrive. See the full range of spa treatments here.
We have a sister hotel in lovely Bishops Castle, Shropshire called The Castle Hotel.
