This hotel straddles the Wales/England border in a landscape that speaks volumes of the way in which the two countries historically went their separate ways. Drive west from Oswestry, in Shropshire and within a few minutes you round a corner to be plunged unexpectedly into a roller-coaster of steep hills and deep valleys. And there, presiding over the ancient border of Offa's Dyke, is Pen-y-Dyffryn, a haven of good food and hospitality. The hotel's new owner Mike Whetton is determined to maintain the remarkable combination of comfort, ambience, service, style and quality that is Pen-y-Dyffryn. The prospect of a stay here is inviting whatever the time of year, whatever the weather. It's no surprise that the hotel has an extremely faithful following, many of its guests making return visits. Pen-y-Dyffryn is homely and comfortable, with not the tiniest hint of preciousness It avoids that precise, immaculately polished fussiness &endash; with the accompanying hushed tones and formality &endash; that characterise some country house hotels. The bedrooms are well appointed with smart bathrooms, some with spa baths. The rooms in the adjoining Coach House, which have their own patio areas, are especially appealing in summer and for guests with pets. Good food is also part of the Pen-y-Dyffryn experience. A new menu every night is based on the highest quality &endash; and mostly local &endash; ingredients that form the basis for innovative cooking. It's another pleasure to look forward to after exploring the hotel's idyllic, timeless surroundings and the fabulous National Trust properties of Erddig, Powis and Chirk.
