Pen-y-Dyffryn Hotel

Come back to life at our peaceful and luxurious country hotel in the Shropshire hills, near Oswestry and Shrewsbury. The perfect escape for a short break in idyllic countryside. We have won numerous awards for good food, service and high quality accommodation, including most recently The Good Hotel Guide Country House Hotel Award 2022. We have also held the AA Two Rosette Good Food Award for 25 years continuously, the longest of anywhere in Shropshire.

A good night’s sleep is given a high priority at Pen-y-Dyffryn Hotel. Situated in the peaceful Shropshire Hills, with only wildlife to break the silence, you can be assured of an undisturbed night’s rest. Provided with posture sprung beds throughout and crisp linen, awake revived and refreshed for a hearty Shropshire breakfast, braced for a full day’s enjoyment.

Several of the more luxurious hotel bedrooms have an en-suite Spa Bath or a Double Spa Bath, and the bedrooms in the adjoining Coach House and the brand new Valley Rooms have their own private stone-walled patios if you prefer that extra touch of luxury and seclusion.

The brand new Valley Rooms opened in August 2020 and are proving extremely popular. Situated at the top of the gardens, these are large and luxurious rooms, each with a huge six foot double bed, a double spa bath, a walk in power shower and a private patio. One of them, The Valley Suite, has a separate lounge area, with a sofa-bed option if required. These rooms have spectacular views across the valley into Wales.

Both the Valley Rooms and the Coach House bedrooms are dog-friendly and the hotel grounds are safe from passing traffic.

We also have a ground floor room particularly suitable for infirm guests, with French windows onto the hotel terrace.

Finding a hotel with good food can be difficult. But we know from talking to our guests that dining in our restaurant, “Seasons”, with its huge, south-facing sash windows, is central to the Pen-y-Dyffryn experience. We are open to non-residents 7 days a week.

We are the longest established AA Two Rosette restaurants in Oswestry and the whole of Shropshire. (Over 20 years now). Our guests appreciate the good food, and they tell us so. Ingredients are healthy, locally sourced, and we try very hard to use mainly local produce. Contemporary cuisine is a feature of our menu, along with more traditional delights. And there is always at least one vegetarian choice at each course.

Our Head Chef Lewis Barton, have been at Pen-y-Dyffryn several years now, and with the help their excellent kitchen brigade they make it his business to change the menu every single day of the year. It also varies in accordance with the changing seasons. Every night is surprise night!

But there is always a choice of four dishes at each course, along with canapés, a surprise appetiser and canapés. Special dietsincluding Vegan and Coeliac choices can also be catered for as everything is freshly prepared each day.

Is there a bar? Of course! And a long wine list, majoring on New World wines.
