Pool and bar very good.
Staff attentive but not over the top. Clean and smart.
Breakfast was a good choice/selection and staff on the ball.
In a peaceful, idyllic setting, the hotel combines the traditional charm and attractive original features of a 19th-century building with the contemporary chic of extensive and luxurious spa...

I was expecting to hear the local speaking Welsh. But I’m surprised most of them speaks English which is better to all of the tourist for communication. And yet , it would have been nice if they speaks Welsh so I would learn it too. Anyway, everything was fantastic during our stay! Thank you Gales of Llangollen for our comfortable accommodation!
On the Shropshire and Welsh border hills, this peaceful country house sits in delightful English countryside, and has held 2 AA Rosettes for food quality for over 10 years.

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.

We have stayed there on a previous occasion and when we had to come back for a family bereavement the Hand Hotel came to mind to stay again
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 breakfast was excellent and freshly cooked. Staff were very polite and welcoming. The location was just right for our visits to Chirk Castle and Erddig. Useful shopping complex next door which included a Garden Centre. Lots of parking available.
We booked this hotel due to its price and location as we were doing a road trip from South Wales to Lake District. The staff were very helpful and the huge beer garden was a delight to have our evening meal in and a few drinks in the sunshine.
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.
