One of the oldest hotels in Wales, The Hand in Chirk was built in 1610, and offers traditional charm and period features. There is a restaurant, bar, free Wi-Fi and free parking. All the bedrooms at The Hand Hotel have been thoughtfully decorated and have private bathrooms with a hairdryer. Guests can also benefit from tea/coffee and ironing facilities in each room. The hotel bar and coffee lounge serves light lunches, snacks and beverages all day. The regency style, Coachhouse Restaurant & Grill, offers a dining experience with a more extensive menu using local produce and overlooks the pretty gardens. Located in North Wales's picturesque Ceiriog Valley, the hotel is only a 2-minute walk from Chirk Train Station. The historic Chirk Castle, with its beautiful gardens and Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, is 5 minutes’ drive away.

    Historic, funky, friendly, accommodating staff. Our room was comfortable but not luxuriously so. Liked all the different seating areas, and the expansive back yard.
