Lovely country hotel full of character & beauty, with exceptional food
Pros:

In a lovely countryside location with great views , beautiful gardens with lots of gazebos & places to sit to enjoy a drink.
The evening meal was exceptional as was the Welsh Rarebit for breakfast.
It was obvious the staff wanted us to enjoy the place, with advice on walks & info about the area.
Our room had a little outdoor space with table & chairs with a view.

Cons:

The mattress would benefit from a topper , but a very minor issue.

Overall, a great stay and would recommend,
Pros:

Staff were very friendly and upon arrival, we were shown around and given the right amount of housekeeping.
The sit out area in front of the bird feeder was perfect as the sun was setting.
The area was quiet.
The hotel was warm and inviting, decor was good.
Toiletries were divine.
Staff were knowledgeable about dietary requirements and the breakfast was fab.

Cons:

These aren't so much what we didn't like but defintely more of what could be done better.
The corridor/stairs/landing could have been a little cleaner, console table needed cleaning and so did the large windowsill to the large window (debris and insects). Crumbs/food in the corners of my chair at breakfast.
Curtains in our room were torn.

It was worth the long trip, just to stay at Pen-y-Dyffryn.
Pros:

Beautiful building, gardens, views and location. Food was top notch, it wasn't cheap but you could see why when it came. The chef and kitchen staff must be very good. You felt like the Lord of the Manor, and were treated as though you were. Staff couldn't have been more helpful.

Cons:

Could do with signs on both sides of the entrance drive so muppets like me who get lost on their sat nav know they've reached it, lol.
