Everything about this place is exceptional, the food on the evening was fabulous and well priced and the breakfast was probably the best i have ever had, all fresh tasty and local. Great place, love the breakfast girls, what a giggle they are. We will be back.

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..
This has got to be one of the nicest hotels we have ever stayed in, perfect location, we were given room 11 which was huge and very comfy.
The staff were very pleasant and friendly and nothing was too much trouble.
We had breakfast in the Hotel and it was exceptional, hot and very tasty served in the beautiful period dining room.
The hotel is in the heart of the village and ideal for walking the Aquaduct and walking up to the castle.
All in all a perfect weekend break..
The hotel is modern and conveniently located off the A5. It was quiet despite its proximity to the road. It stands alongside the Llangollen Canal with moorings outside. The room was adequately equipped with a hospitality tray etc. The restaurant was run efficiently and the food was good. The buffet breakfast provided for a wide range of tastes and the staff were helpful.
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.
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.
This is a large pub with a spacious beer garden, which also serves food so I didn't need to go anywhere else if I didn't want to. It is however close to Llangollen canal aqueduct and Chirk castle.
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.
It’s my favourite hotel- we are regulars as my daughter lives in Chirk- it’s clean, comfy and good value for money. Love the king sized rooms. Highly recommend
Lovely old hotel dating back a number of centuries but with modern convenience . Breakfast was a 10/10.
Staff were charming . An undiscovered part of Wales
