Pen-y-Dyffryn

César award in 2003

In beautiful countryside on the Shropshire/Wales border ('only the wildlife breaks the silence'), this small country hotel is liked for its 'unfussy and relaxed' atmosphere. The owners, Miles and Audrey Hunter, serve complimentary tea to guests on arrival, before a log fire in one of the 'homely' lounges on cold days, or on the terrace which has views over the hills. In the south-facing restaurant, chef David Morris serves modern dishes, eg, wood pigeon breast tandoori, onion bhaji; black bream fillet, baby spinach, basil cream sauce. 'Dinner was superb, with a good choice and well presented,' says a visitor in 2012. Bedrooms in the coach house have a private patio opening on to the garden (good for dog owners). Even the smaller bedrooms are thought 'comfortable', but one couple felt that their bathroom needed 'some TLC'. A visitor with limited mobility appreciated a ground-floor room, which was 'quiet despite being near the lounge'. There is good walking locally and the hotel boasts that guests can 'walk in Wales, relax in England'. (Clive Blackburn, and others)

  • Beautiful surrounding countryside. Comfortable but small bedroom. We enjoyed the open log fire in the sitting room. Breakfasts and dinners were superb.
