Golf Breaks. Hotel guests are entitled to;2-for-1; green fees at Oswestry (Mile-End)

bedroom, either verbally or in writing, constitutes a contract in law. Should you be obliged to cancel your reservation please give as much notice as possible so that we can try to re-let the
room and so defray our losses. Bookings are normally confirmed by a deposit of £25.00 per
room per night, which will be fully refunded (less a £10.00 administrative fee) if more than four weeks notice is given. Cancellations less than four weeks prior to arrival will incur a charge of 75% of the full value of the booking unless the
room can be re-let, in which case only the deposit will be forfeited. Credit/Debit cards may be used to guarantee the booking and for payment of cancellation charges. Cancellation insurance is advised and insurance forms are available on request. Copyright © Pen-y-Dyffryn 2008. Hotel in Mid Wales

gardens are beautiful, especially in spring but always a pleasure to visit. Improvement work is always being carried out to open up more areas for visitors to explore. Erddig (20 mins) This is a splendid house which was neglected from approx 1900-1970 and therefore escaped modernisation, so it retains many sculleries,
kitchens and pantries, all of which are on view as well as the main
rooms and the servants sleeping quarters. The
gardens have been restored and they have now matured into an attraction in their own right. Powis Castle (30 mins). A fairy-tale, red sandstone castle with magnificent
gardens and The Clive Museum inside. The
gardens are always colourful and packed with flowering plants at the peak of perfection. Prince Charles is usually in residence as Prince of Wales during the last week in July. Powis is a busy place, but the
gardens are large so there is plenty of space for everyone. Bodnant
Gardens (1.25hrs). Near Llandudno on the North Wales coast, so a bit further away, but well worth visiting as National Trust members regularly vote them as;their favourite
gardens;. Jointly run by the National Trust and the R.H.S, there are many outstanding collections of plants, notably Camellias, Magnolias, Rhododendrons, and Azaleas. A large plant sales area provides an opportunity to buy some unusual plants. Attingham Park (30 mins) An elegant 18th-century mansion near Shrewsbury, with Regency interiors and a deer park. Lots of paintings, silver and
furniture collections, but there are no formal
gardens. Copyright © Pen-y-Dyffryn 2008. Hotel Breaks Shrewsbury
