"Beautiful house located in a stunning part of England."
It was extremely comfortable, very well appointed and the owner James was very welcoming and helpful. We followed their advice about booking a pub for Sunday Lunch and had an excellent meal at The Docks at Selattyn too. Can’t fault this one in any way! Thank you so much.
Thank you that’s very kind. We’re so please you all had a great weekend at the Hall, best wishes James and Helen Property Owner

"A hidden gem."
We had a wonderful family weekend at Pentre Hall, it was a perfect base for our time in Shropshire. Beautiful setting, intriguing and handsome historic house with all modern facilities. Everything we could have wished for including a generous welcome pack. James was incredibly informative and helpful both before and during our stay. His local knowledge certainly enhanced our visit. Have already recommended Pentre Hall to family and friends.
Thank you for your kind words, we’re really pleased you had a great time. Best wishes Helen & James Property Owner

"We were looking for a long weekend, something close to nature, walks and activities."
Somewhere we could all go together as a family and friends, which included 2 pet dogs, a puppy guide dog, a toddler and adults. Somewhere we could host a murder mystery dinner party. But somewhere we would each have our own space without feeling on top of eachother. We found all of this and more at Pentre Hall Bronygarth! James & Helen are fantastic hosts. They have thought of all the fine details within the property and in the gardens too. Their communication before and during the stay was brilliant and they were more than happy to assist us with anything we needed. Each bedroom was spacious, each of our guests had their own bedroom with an en suite shower room and the 2 King Size rooms shared the family bathroom. There is a downstairs toilet. Log burning fires. 2 lounge areas and a huge dining area. Outside there is lots of space for the dogs to run around. Plus a gorgeous wood burning hot tub. Some of my favourite and unexpected details: Tissue box in each room Separate towels for hot tub. Blankets / towels for dogs. Essentials in the bathroom. Lots of games and books. Badminton net and rackets outside. Lovely welcome hamper. Washing up and laundry essentials Ample toilet rolls. Fully equipped kitchen with super fast oven. I would recommend this stay to any type of family as it has something to suit everyone's needs and interests.
Thank you so much for the kind feedback, we’re really pleased you enjoyed the weekend so much. Look forward to seeing you all again. Best wishes James and Helen Property Owner

"This is an exceptional vacation property: it's beautifully renovated, truly historic, located in a glorious part of the country, and run by very friendly, thoughtful, and helpful owners."
The whole family enjoyed every aspect of our ten-day stay. The house is comfortably furnished, spacious, and very well equipped; the hot tub is a lot of fun; and the summer house, garden, games and books were truly appreciated. The location is quiet, but not remote and the views all around the house are spectacular. It would be difficult to find fault with Pentre Hall or any aspect of it. We intend to come back, and we enthusiastically recommend the property for all who appreciate access to glorious walks, nice pubs and historic landmarks, cultural heritage, country life, and good living.
Thank you for the great feedback, we’re really please you had a such a lovely time here and hope you had a comfortable flight back to California. Look forward to welcoming you all again some day. Best wishes James & Helen Property Owner

"Absolutely beautiful location with an amazing country home feel, if you are looking for a real English country get away, Pentre Hall delivers beyond expectations."
Owner/hosts very detail oriented and attentive. If I could, I would add extra stars. Our week stay was the highlight of a month long tour through the UK. The history of the the house and the area add volumes. Cannot wait to return again on our next visit
Thank you for the great feedback, it was a pleasure having you all stay and we hope you had a great flight back to Canada. Best wishes to all your family, James & Helen Property Owner

"We stayed at Pentre Hall for a long weekend in May 2024."
It was a great place to relax and enjoy our short break. There were fantastic views across the countryside, inside the property was well equipped and was a knife sharpener away from perfect. The refurbishment of the property was to an excellent standard and maintained all its period features. The owner, James, gave us a great introduction to the property and its history, and also the best places to visit within walking distance and further afield. We would definitely stay here again. Maggie and Peter
Thank you for the kind feedback, it’s very much appreciated. We’re really pleased you had a great time and thanks for suggesting the knife sharpener. One now in place for your next visit! Best wishes Helen & James Property Owner

"This has to be one of the nicest homes I have stayed in."
Rich in history, situated on a beautiful valley with fantastic views and stunningly quiet except for birdsong. James and Helen have created a superb residence for a family holiday or in our case an excellent venue for a friends reunion. The house and furnishings are all top end and every item one could think of is supplied. Great well equipped and functional kitchen is at the heart of the house with large dining room and sitting room. The bedrooms are all very special including the rooms and further sitting room ( cinema size tv ) in the eaves of the house. Off road parking and extensive gardens including a log fired hot tub add to the overall excellence of the property. James is very helpful in offering advice on the myriad activities in the area plus pointing you in the right direction for eating out locally.
That’s very kind, we’re really pleased you all had such a great time and thank you for the card. Best wishes Helen & James Property Owner

"Stunning - I think this was one of the nicest places I have ever stayed."
The property was spotlessly clean & had everything you could possibly want to make your stay comfortable. The hot tub was a delight. The views from the hot tub meant we never wanted to get out! It was just a beautiful place to stay, we felt so welcome & we will definitely book again soon. I cannot recommend this place enough. An absolute hidden gem.
Thank you so much for the kind words it was a pleasure having you all stay and we look forward to seeing you all again soon. Best wishes Helen & James Property Owner

"Amazing hosts and a fantastic, very grand venue."
The welcome pack was amazing and came with a detailed information pack for the area that really helped us during our stay. The hot tub and out house is faultless, and the huge dining table was a joy to get everyone round for meals. The hosts are very friendly and can't do enough for you. Highly recommended.
Many thanks for your kind feedback and really pleased the welcome pack and information on places to visit and dine out at was so useful. Best wishes James and Helen Property Owner

"Superb accommodation and a very well equipped."
We have stayed in many self catering properties over the years and Pentre Hall was a firm family favourite. The hot tub was an added luxury and owners very approachable. A good area to access a variety of places to visit. We had a wonderful week and would love to return again in the future.
Thank you so much for your kind comments. We are really pleased you enjoyed your stay and were able to visit so many of the local attractions in one week! The drawing of the house and message you left is also very much appreciated! Property Owner

"We would highly recommend Pentre Hall, 7 of us have just returned from a 3 night stay and I honestly can’t think of anything that the lovely owners hadn’t thought of."
James met us at the property and was extremely helpful regarding the local area. The property is stunning inside and out and has been decorated and furnished to high standard. We would definitely return.

The property
Chirk 1.9 miles.
Pentre Hall is an impressive and welcoming five bedroomed wing of a 15th Century country house set in 40 acres nestled in the beautiful Ceiriog Valley at Bronygarth, just outside the historic towns of Chirk (Wales), and Oswestry (England).
Set near the Clwydian Range and Dee Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and boasting a host of original features, this characterful property is the perfect base for a family getaway or a gathering of friends.
Step into Pentre Hall, to be instantly impressed by the spacious kitchen/diner, an idyllic spot for all your culinary creations, which can be enjoyed in the dining room, complete with woodburning stove.
Afterwards, curl up in the sitting room with a cold glass of wine or good book, in front of the roaring woodburning stove; or on warmer evenings, why not step outside to the enclosed private garden with gas fired BBQ where you can dine alfresco before indulging a long soak in the wood-fired hot tub?
You can also find a splendid snug on the second floor, perfect for keeping the little ones entertained with plush seating and a large smart TV.
When sleep calls, travel up the stairs and find three luxurious king-size bedrooms (2 with four posters), followed by a second-floor double with en-suite and a twin with en-suite, both with walk-in showers.
To the first floor, you’ll find a bright and airy bathroom, perfect for winding down or freshening up before hunkering down for the evening.
Wherever you choose to venture, you won’t be disappointed; visit Llangollen for its unique canal boat rides, history-filled attractions such as the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct and a wealth of outdoor activities.
Explore the nearby town of Oswestry, with its mix of independent shops, eateries, pubs, and even a castle.
Or take a drive to Chester, the largest and most developed city in Cheshire, where you can marvel at the incredible Chester Cathedral, visit the Roman walls, and the historic Roman Amphitheatre.
Of course, there’s always time for a slice of culture too; Chester Racecourse holds an array of events, from music concerts to the summer races and Shrewsbury with it’s contemporary, riverside theatre staging musicals, drama and live concerts.
Wherever you choose to explore, a stay at Pentre Hall will provide a truly special holiday.
Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £500.
