Immaculately clean property. Exceptionally comfortable. Incredibly flexible & helpful owners. Great location for touring the area.
In a peaceful, idyllic setting, the hotel combines the traditional charm and attractive original features of a 19th-century building with the contemporary chic of extensive and luxurious spa...

On arrival we were greeted with a very smile. We had an accessible room which was excellent. Food was also excellent and the service was definitely with a smile.

I’ve visited Chirk on many occasions for business and leisure. The village is quieter since the building of the bypass. One feature to see is the aqueduct. Nearby Pontcysyllte Aqueduct is famous but Chirk Aquaduct is impressive too. It runs alongside the railway viaduct over a deep valley. At its north end the canal enters a tunnel.

Disappointing. Don't be taken in.
Disappointing. Don't be taken in. It's not really a castle, its a stately home and not a very interesting one at that. Only part of the 'castle' can be viewed, what can be seen is not very interesting and poorly presented and not set in context. There were no information screens, very little signage and what information there was consisted of 'this is a painting of a person you've never heard of. This is another'. At £15 per person (!) this was grossly over-priced and certainly not worth the money

Unfortunately we were returning home from one funeral to prepare for another in a couple of days so we did not have time to visit any where except the adjacent restaurant but it looked a pleasant little town with lots of local sites such as the castle and Pontcysyllte aqueduct

We took a dayboat hire for the family out of the Anglo Welsh marina at Trevor and travelled down the canal down to Chirk, passing over the famous aqueduct. Following day we went to the British Ironworks near Oswestry and saw the Knife Angel sculpture. A great day out.

The hotel is outside Chirk, a few minutes drive. The town is quite small but has a good free car park. We couldn't visit the castle as it was closed due to bad weather. The Llangollen canal is nearby and good for walking. The aqauaduct is interesting. It's easy to get to NT places, Llangollen, Oswestry and Snowdonia National Park.

Chirk is just a small Village but cute and it has coffee shops and gift shops. Llangollen is close and it's generally a nice area to drive around.
Walks along the canal are a bonus and this is close to the Lion Quays resort..
The breakfast was delicious, room was clean and well decorated, dinner was also very good and was good value for money, the bar was lovely and there were plenty of comfortable sofas and chairs, and the staff was friendly and welcoming.
My husband and I stayed in one room and two friends stayed in another as we were attending a wedding nearby, and we enjoyed the hotel so much we are planning to visit again in a few months just to have a relaxing evening at the hotel and a few nice walks around the local area.
Breakfast was excellent, as were the two other meals I had. My room was very nicely decorated and well equipped. The hotel is a very attractive old building with a large garden and perfectly situated in the middle of Chirk. I immediately felt "at home" here and was hugely impressed with the friendly helpfulness of the staff, one of whom went well beyond the expected by driving me to the castle!! I cannot recommend the Hand Hotel highly enough.
Unfortunately we didn’t stay as our room was not available, they put us in another hotel further away from the desired place, the hotel we went to was ok but no facilities no bar or restaurant only a cafe in the garden centre next door. I was visiting a relative by the Hand hotel so cost me more money trying to find taxis back and forth. I understand it was not the hotels fault but we were put out by not being in the area we needed to be in.
The swimming pool and tennis courts were super, and the included breakfast was outstanding.
And the meals that we had from the on-site restaurant were great, with several tasty vegetarian options. The property was beautiful and quite well-maintained. Rooms were clean and spacious.
Easy parking. Clean affordable rooms with plenty of space. Excellent breakfast.
Perfect for cycling the canal path to Llangollen via x2 aqueducts and x2 tunnels.
Staff friendly evening meal good at local pub within walking distance.
Easy parking. Very helpful & polite reception staff on arrival. Clean room - great bed. Great location for our needs - easy walk home from a wedding at the Spa Hotel. Attentive helpful staff at breakfast.
After a busy day we were able to have a relaxing drink and a delicious dinner. Friendly staff. Great base for visiting Chirk castle and the canal/aqueduct. Clean and comfortable.
The Resort is on the way to North Wales, stayed here for the second time. Great for a nice jog along the canal and a well equipped gym and spa, and adequate büfé breakfast
