Gay Friendly Country House Luxurious Hotel and Restaurant Shropshire
Pen-y-Dyffryn  Luxury Country House Hotel, Rhydycroesau, Oswestry, Shropshire Welsh Borders


www.peny.co.uk


 This beautiful hotel in the Shropshire and Wales border hills is a supremely peaceful country house providing the perfect retreat to
escape from the madding crowd and enjoy the stunning Welsh border countryside. Set in five acres of grounds with no passing traffic,
this silver-stone former rectory exudes a magical calm. There is a selection of gorgeous bedrooms where private patios, double jacuzzis,
spa baths and stunning views abound. Dining in the elegant restaurant, where huge south-facing sash windows frame the ever-changing
and beautiful views, is central to the whole enchanting Pen-y-Dyffryn experience and the food is sensational, as you would expect from a restaurant with two AA Rosettes. Miles and Audrey together with their loyal and friendly team of staff have successfully captured the
rare combination of unobtrusive hospitality, luxury, and high standards of service and accommodation that guarantee that “away from it all” feeling. It is  little wonder that together they have more awards for hospitality and food than you can shake a stick at. Why? Quite simply because this is a rare and very special place for only the luckiest people to discover. What a fabulous relaxing friendly stay with superb food.



 
Gay Friendly Hotel Restaurant and Gay Wedding Venue Symonds Yat Herefordshire
The Royal Lodge Hotel, Restaurant and Wedding Venue, Symonds Yat East, Hereforeshire


www.royalhotel-symondsyat.com


The Royal Lodge sits aside the River Wye in Symonds Yat East in the heart of the beautiful Wye Valley just below Symonds Yat Rock in almost five acres of private grounds that look out across the River Wye. There are terraced gardens of old established magnolia and wisteria. The Royal was originally built in 1876 as a Royal hunting lodge and first opened its doors as an hotel in the 1920's and has been enchanting and enthralling all who visit ever since. In 2008 the hotel was lovingly refurbished. Now The Royal Lodge has twenty well equipped and presented en-suite bedrooms (including romantic four posters) and all but one provide stunning views of the tranquil River Wye as it meanders past on its tireless journey to the sea. The restaurant is called Hunters which provides fine food, all of which is sourced locally where possible. The menu is creative and balanced providing local and international food with a pretty impressive wine list; they also serve snacks in their Café Bar, Garden Room and weather permitting, on the sunny terraces. What a fairy tale setting The Royal Lodge is for a country riverside wedding. Graham and his friendly team of staff are class acts at hospitality and work tirelessly to make their guests feel valued and most welcome.



 
Gay Owned and Run Bed and Breakfast, Kington, Herefordshire
The Benchmark Bed and Breakfast, Church Street, Kington, Hereforeshire


www.thebenchmarkbnb.co.uk


The Benchmark is a comfortable, gay-owned bed and breakfast in Kington Herefordshire that is home to Adam your host and his adorable friendly cat Benny. The Benchmark bed and breakfast is very much a home from home with a laid back and relaxed atmosphere. The Benchmark has two bedrooms so it will never feel crowded. The house has just been decorated in low VOC, eco-friendly paints from Farrow
& Ball in colours with such delightful names as Smoked Trout, Clunch and Babouch... The accommodation here at the Benchmark is located on the first floor with two well-appointed bedrooms - one with a standard double bed, the other with twin beds.  Both rooms have tea and
coffee making facilities and have shared bathroom and toilet facilities. There is no TV: how cool is that! but you are welcome to bring along your laptop to take advantage of the wireless internet access. There is a good supply of books, CDs and a variety of musical instruments.
Adam your host runs The Benchmark in a reasonably eco-friendly manner and produce is sourced locally where possible. Adam Watson is a onetime bookbinder who now makes clothing and accessories, with occasional sallies into sculpture. He is an amateur harpist, an avid reader, enjoys cooking and has a keen interest in classic cars. Kington is an attractive town with pleasantly idiosyncratic shops (including England's
last traditional clog-maker), many pubs, a couple of cafes as well as a selection of takeaways and food shops. Kington is perfectly placed
for walking (Offa's Dyke, Hergest Ridge), exploring (Hereford, Leominster, the Black & White trail), antique and craft shops and, of course, book shops (Hay-on-Wye, Presteigne and indeed Kington). If you are on wheels then there are many beautiful roads to drive or cycle along.
A cosy, homely and traditional bed and breakfast in Kington run by Adam who is a very special, friendly and welcoming host. It's unique!




 
Gay Friendly Tradtional Country Inn, Bed & Breakfast and Restaurant, Ross on Wye, Gloucestershire
The Farmers Boy Inn, Ross Road, Longhope, Ross on Wye, Gloucestershire


www.thefarmersboyinn.co.uk


We were made up to chance upon the Farmers Boy Inn at Longhope one lunchtime in October, all four of us being in desperate need of a “livener” and something to eat following the hectic party we had attended the previous evening in Cheltenham. Justin who doesn’t drink alcohol was our driver as usual. We were greeted with a crackling log fire and a friendly welcome from Phil (who we later found out owns and runs The Farmers Boy aided by his energetic and friendly young team of staff) who served us our drinks and took our food order. The menu is a treat with good old English favourites together with a comprehensive and an imaginative selection on the á la carte menu. We all chose their famous
2 in 1 Pie (
half steak & Guinness and half cauliflower cheese) which was simply to die for. After our meal and a few more drinks we asked Phil
 if the Farmers Boy provided accommodation and without any hesitation we were shown their guest bedrooms which are located in a newly built annexe behind the inn. The bedrooms are all en-suite, beautifully presented and well equipped. It was nearly 5pm when we reluctantly had to leave this fabulously friendly and beautiful inn. There is something more here than the exposed beams, log fires, exceptionally good food and superb accommodation: it is quite simply the wonderful friendly greeting, atmosphere and the gentle Irish humour from a very special landlord and his friendly team of staff.
The only downside at The Farmers Boy was dragging ourselves away for our return journey to Wales and work.

The Kings Head Hotel
Market towns in Herefordshire have an enthralling and timeless atmosphere, and Ross-on-Wye is no exception.

This hostelry provides fabulous accommodation and incredibly good, imaginative food served in an atmosphere that only a period hotel of this standing can provide, together with a friendly and inviting ambience that is so welcoming. Sat in one of the most ancient & pretty streets in Ross, this is a perfect base for exploring the Wye Valley.
