The staff were lovely, the room was clean but the hotel was tired. The meal times advertised were not kept to. We wanted an evening meal on the Sunday. The times advertised were 5.30 - 7.45, but when we asked we were told the kitchen closed at 5 on Sunday. Breakfast was good. The hotel served our needs and was not terrible but we thought it expensive for the facilities offered and would not visit again.

A pet friendly hotel with friendly staffunder recent new ownership. Staff friendly and approachable. Room 8 clean but a problem with the bathroom light switch which staff knew about. I will revisit if in the area again.

It’s very good hotel but the facility is pretty old and I totally understand that. I found a used sop on the shower switch, It’s good hotel I will come again but won’t be stay there for over 2 night. Again it’s more than 400 years old hotel. Can’t complain!

Disliked: Staff & service
The room was ok, tired, desperately needs updating and the shower had no power so we didn’t use it. Breakfast was pretty awful really, our first morning, we’d booked breakfast for 8:30am but when we went downstairs, the whole hotel was deserted. So we went back up to our room and tried again at 9. A sullen lady told us the chef was running late. We were confused, when we got the menu for breakfast it said breakfast starts at 7:30am. The food was fine and once we finally got breakfast we were satisfied. The second day of our stay was poor. We appeared at 8:45 but there was a young girl on her own, who clearly needed training. She struggled to meet the needs of the customers and couldn’t manage more than one instruction at a time. She’d been left alone which seemed unfair on her. But we had to ask for cereals, then we had to ask for bowls and then milk. My tea was cold and the pot was only 1/4 filled. When I asked for a fresh pot, I got another cold pot only 1/4 full, so I gave up. We had to ask for juice and when we got our order, it was unpleasant to eat. The girl apologised to other customers because she had to go to the shop, for the kitchen, and had forgotten their toast. It was very disappointing to be honest as this hotel is under new ownership…but nothing has changed or improved.

The property was pet friendly and my dog was made welcome. Lovely beer garden at rear which we were able to take advantage of due to the warm and sunny weather during our stay. Only a short walk (about 15 minutes) from the train station and and a lovely big park across the road from the hotel. Not much in Chirk though, with little more than cafes and bistros and bus service looks poor (up to 3hours apart judging by the timetables where provided) compared with other parts of Wales we’ve visited

The Hand Hotel was ok. It was simply an overnight stop off whilst doing Offa’sDyke walk. A bit tired and dated but at the price, we couldn’t complain
