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.
Located just outside the small Welsh village of Chirk, on the Wales-England border, Moreton Park Hotel offers free on-site parking and is only 10 minutes’ drive from Wrexham city center.

The hotel was on a large property just on the edge of town, lots of parking and easy to find. Our room was spacious, clean and comfortable. Town was just a short drive or walk away. Friendly and helpful staff. Would return.

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 hotel is set in lovely grounds next to a canal where you can walk along and feed the ducks. There were loads of canal boats too!
The bar/restaurant is huge and is fresh and clean and very modern.
The food is good quality with everything you could want for breakfast.
The room was not the largest but the bed and pillows were so comfy.
The staff were super friendly and welcoming and made you feel at ease.
Great place to stay before heading off into beautiful Wales.
Will stay again
Thanks
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.

location was lovely close to the canal for nice walks into Chirk. Lovely double room with a nice view of the canal. Delicious breakfast and evening meals, staff very helpful and polite at all times during our stay. lovely Spa at the Hotel to relax and unwind with good facilities.
Resturant and spa are of a decent standard but the hotel and rooms are VERY dated and the pictures used by booking.com do not offer a true depiction of the rooms.
Very overpriced for what it is although I imagine a lot of it is for use of the leisure facilities.
We booked this hotel due to its price and location as we were doing a road trip from South Wales to Lake District. The staff were very helpful and the huge beer garden was a delight to have our evening meal in and a few drinks in the sunshine.
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.
Staff!! They were an amazing team seeking to make sure each guest’s needs were met. The location was spot on for what we were visiting. Would recommend this hotel to family and friends.
The spa area was excellent with a decent sized swimming pool which you don’t often find.
The staff were very friendly and helpful and the setting of the hotel was nice and easy to find.
The hotel is in a great place for access to north Wales. Some great walking locally. The hotel is also friendly and the food is very good. Staff are friendly and helpful
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.
