Immaculately clean property. Exceptionally comfortable. Incredibly flexible & helpful owners. Great location for touring the area.

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..
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.
Breakfast was very good the service was great
Our room was spacious and clean and comfortable
Our Dinner was very good and the service was great
All the staff at the hotel were friendly and helpful and made you feel welcome
We have stayed there on a previous occasion and when we had to come back for a family bereavement the Hand Hotel came to mind to stay again
The staff at the hotel were great and the rooms spotless, we ate outside on the decking and sampled the cocktails, we had breakfasts and evening meals. We felt safe during covid all the rules adhered to, we had a lovely time and would recommend the hotel, especially to walkers and dog owners. Thankyou Chirk Hotel for making us feel welcome in these difficult times.
The hotel was great. They were really busy with an event when we were there but it was all good. The mattresses were a bit uncomfortable but the room was fine. It was clean. It's an old building that has been altered and renovated repeatedly so if you expect perfection, this isn't for you. I would stay there again.
Lovely old hotel with modern facilities. Breakfast was very good. Warm welcome for our dog , separate dining room for those of us with our 4 legged friends. Large beer garden with covered areas . Hotel in ideal location for castle, aqueduct and local shops. Hotel still needs some updating . Excellent value .
Staff were all so friendly, room had everything we needed and bed v comfortable. Really nice pool, jacuzzi and sauna - steam room was out of action. Although busy A5 is so close we could not hear any traffic noise in our room. Plenty of parking space (the hotel is further on than the leisure facility).
The HAND never lets us down, ACE staff, good facilities, good variety of menu throughout the day, pet friendly, clean and tidy, nothing too much trouble for staff to sort out, car parking is safe and convenient..great location for us as we have family either side of the hotel.
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.
The spa building was obviously much newer and of a higher standard than the hotel. The swimming pool was lovely.
Canal side location.
Plenty of car parking.
Lovely grounds.
Bar and restaurant area were pleasant and well kept.
Proximity to my trip to good road network for travel in Shropshire and Wrexham.
Comfortable bed and spacious room. Underfloor heating in bathroom .
A basic, clean hotel room.
Stayed here several times for work purposes and the hotel is absolutely fine. Everything works - quick Wi-Fi,. comfortable room, restaurant just next door, good service.
Location in Chirk is great
After the 1st night in our room we asked to change to another room (garden view, instead of street view) and were supported.
