The Pandy Bed and Breakfast lies in the centre of the small village of Dorstone, immediately adjacent to the famous Pandy Inn pub (a separate business). Dorstone, set in the lee of the Black Mountains of Wales, and at the head of the Herefordshire's beautiful Golden Valley is an idea touring base to explore the beautiful Welsh border countryside.

These borderlands are Marcher country, long ago the preserve of knights and barons who ruled over these hills and mountains as petty kings in their own right. Today these once troubled lordships offer a spectacular yet peaceful haven for those seeking to enjoy the best of the British countryside.

Whether you are a walker, pony trekker, cyclist, canoeist, photographer, or just love day trips in the car, The Pandy B&B is your prefect base. From here on the doorstep of the Brecon Beacons National Park you can sally forth into the heart of central Wales. Or, strike east and south into the lower Wye Valley. Here is a selection of some of the many attractions within a short drive:
