Where to stay in Oswestry and the Borderlands?
 

Oswestry is Shropshire’s second largest town but still has a friendly village feel. It is surrounded by stunning quiet rural countryside sometimes English, sometimes Welsh. Do you want to stay in a hotel? Stay in Oswestry and enjoy the historic buildings that are our town centre hotels

Would you like to be more rural? Then we can suggest The Sweeney. This country house hotel is set back in green fields and yet only a couple of minutes from town. There’s space here and beautiful gardens. Still rural and so close to the Welsh Border you won’t know if you are in England or Wales is Pen-y-Dyffryn. This is award winning peaceful old rectory is just in Shropshire but Wales and Offa’s Dyke walking routes right on the on the doorstep.
To stay in a Bed and Breakfast is quite special. Your hosts welcome you into their home and what a welcome! Oswestry B&Bs are eclectic in style– which will you choose?
You can stay in Oswestry Town and be within a few minutes’ walk of all the town centre has to offer. Be there on Market Day – a Wednesday, Friday or Saturday and meet our local stallholders selling everything from pumpkins to pineapples, books to bedding and more. Stroll through the park, it’s right in the centre of town and along with award winning flower displays has a remarkable life size statue of war poet Wilfred Owen.
Are you looking for real peace? How about a period cottage set in pretty gardens or a barn conversion with a hot tub snuggled into the North Shropshire or Welsh Border countryside?
There are places to stay in walking distance from the local pub in villages with names that could be Welsh or English – ever been to Selattyn?

Or maybe choose North Shropshire for your self catering stay. Castle Farm holidays have ground floor accommodation with disabled access and those very welcome hot tubs in their courtyard setting. Just the place to bring your dog too. Take a day out National Trust Chirk Castle or visit the little community owned castle at Whittington – stay at Fitzwarine House and be on the castle’s doorstep.
