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 en-suite 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.
