Explore North Wales from the Hotel

If you’re searching for a hotel in North Wales, near to Lake Vyrnwy, Powis Castle or Llangollen, look no further! Pen-y-Dyffryn Hotel is located right on the Welsh border. Wales and the Welsh mountains are a stones throw (well, fifty yards) from our front door.

And as you head west from the hotel the character of the country becomes inescapably Welsh. It reaches the peak of perfection in nearby Snowdonia. Pen-y-Dyffryn is an ideal place from which to start exploring the nearby Welsh countryside. In fact the border runs right through the hotel grounds!

Many of our guests will visit Lake Vyrnwy, and at least one of the National Trust Castles nearby such as Powis Castle and Chirk Castle, which formed part of a chain of Welsh border fortifications. Powis Castle now houses the magnificent Clive of India treasures and has one of Prince Charles’ favourite gardens. Nearby Chirk Castle manages to combine magnificent staterooms with infamous dungeons. Erdigg House and Attingham Park, two other National Trust properties, are also near by.

Whittington Castle, meanwhile, is reputedly the former home of Dick, who later found fame and fortune in countless pantomimes across the land.

Pen-y-Dyffryn Hotel is well placed to take advantage of some of Wales’ best adventure sports and activities. Try Europe’s longest Zip Wire in Snowdonia – if you dare!

Walk into History

The spectacular limestone cliffs at Llanymynech, where lead, copper and zinc have been mined since Roman times, are now a haven for wildlife and a spectacular golf course.

Llangollen, the “Gateway to Wales” is close by with it’s famous International Eisteddfod. Don’t miss Thomas Telford’s highest aqueduct at Pontcysyllte, 126 feet above the River Dee.

There is superb hill walking from the door at Pen-y-Dyffryn. The Welsh hills surround the hotel and Offa’s Dyke footpath is less than a mile away. Also it is less than an hours drive from Pen-y-Dyffryn into the Snowdonia National Park, with it’s superb hiking and dramatic mountain scenery.

Pen-y-Dyffryn provides the perfect base from which to enjoy a hotel break in Wales
