The staff was very friendly and there were some very nice common rooms where you could sit and visit or have a drink or have some dinner. We liked the historical nature of the pub hotel. The other thing we really enjoyed was taking a bus to Llangollen and renting some e bikes. We rode them back to Chirk along the canal paths and then rode them back to Llangollen the next day. The Hand had a room where we stored the bikes overnight. We also enjoyed that there are several little restaurants and a butcher shop very close by, where we could buy some nice things.

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
Staff was very helpful and friendly. Room was spot clean and nicely decorated, spacious and with very comfy beds, clean bedding and different type of pillows. We opt for dinner and breakfast and both were absolutely delicious.
Lounge at the ground floor is beautifully decorated with comfy sofas, different areas to sit down and have a drink with friends/family.
Hotel is located in heart of Chirk, few minutes walk from castle, aqueduct, shops and restaurants.
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.
Has a mezzanine bedroom which is quite unusual. Very spacious as a result. Quiet so you get a good nights sleep. Parking certainly not an issue. Attached restaurant was closed when I was there but you have a brasserie a short walk away and a garden centre with a cafe etc in shopping hours. Chirk is quite close by (25 minute walk) and plenty more options there. Would happily use again.
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.
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.
Room very comfortable although the manky old mini chocolate muffin left in one of the bedside drawers was not particularly appetising. Its a great hotel in terms if rooms and facilities.
We loved the bar and restaurant at the waterside - luckily we can’t fault the food or service here, also access to spa facilities was ok it’s just a shame about the hotel - thank you
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.
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.
The breakfast selection was great and the dinner and lunch were lovely. We also ate at the Indian restaurant on site in the Spa part of the hotel - great food.
