I needed some medical help and the First Aid staff were very good and knew exactly what to do. Breakfast was also very good with a full range of food options

It was in a gorgeous setting and Tamsin who greeted us was very friendly and made us feel welcome and showed us to our room which had been upgraded

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..
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 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.
Excellent size room, decorated nicely and very clean. We took the dog and there were designated areas inside the hotel for dogs as well as a lovely garden.
Excellent location within the village opposite a lovely park and close to amenities.
We took the car to Chirk Castle which was well worth the visit.
Staff very helpful and friendly, good choice of breakfast.
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.
the hotel and spa very very nice clean and comfortable.
I paid extra to get into room early but wasn’t ready for us when we arrived. so the hotel allowed us to checkout later the next day.
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.
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
