What a stunning location! Set in the Welsh countryside, this hotel is housed in a building that was…read moreoriginally built in the 1500s! The rooms are nice and comfortable, particularly the bed. I liked that the bathroom has a bathtub - was exactly what I felt like after a long day of travelling. The check in process is simple and the staff are lovely and polite. The restaurant has a great menu and the food is very good. The rooms and the hotel are a whole was very clean and well presented. I would certainly stay there again.

There's everything from Mussels to sizzling skillets, pies and grills. Food here is all homemade and great value. Huge portions too. I had a mixed grill on my last visit which included steak, gammon, pork chop, lamb chop, sausage, black pudding, eggs, onion rings, Tomato, mushrooms, peas and their amazing homecut chips. £9.45. Bargain! My Other half had a burger (again) where he could choose 3 toppings from a list. Also served with chips and was around £6.50. Drinks are very reasonable and this place is a must if you're nearby. It's gaining a brilliant reputation and you'll need to book at the weekend.

On a vacation through Ireland, Wales, England, and Germany found us in Chirk at The Hand Hotel…read more Cute little place in the center of town, about 1/4 mile walk from the train platform. Checking in was painless and the staff pleasant. Room is typical European traditional logging, which amounts to a smallish room and no frills. Bd is soft and comfy, with the bathroom small and functional. Drinks in the lobby bar were great. They have 18 or so selections of gin (mulberry, rhubarb, dandelion and traditional). Drinks were cheap, with their single gin & tonic at £4 and doubles at £6. Very well presented and tasty. Dinner in the dining room was again a pleasant experience. Appetizer of creamy mushrooms on ciabatta with crumbled Stilton was wonderful. Wife had the steak & ale pie. I had the salmon with potatoes and asparagus. Both dishes were grand. Very tasty and well presented. Loved the quaint atmosphere of The Hand Hotel. Plus, there is the Chirk Castle just a bit away to occupy your day.

Inside was still traditionally maintained but looked a little tired. The food in the italian restaurant next door was really tasty and surprisingly reasonably priced. The main bar area was quiet for a monday night, but there was a pianist in the corner and the atmosphere was really cosy, not to mention a good range of real ales that the barman informed me were all local. The room we stayed in was clean and tidy and the staff were all excellent, couldn't have asked for more.

We managed to get a room at the Hotel Portmeirion through late bookings service and had the most…read morefantastic time. We were treated like royalty, reception booked us in for our evening meal at Castell Deudreath (the more modern hotel and restaurant in Portmeirion Village) and even booked the complimentary taxi service for us so we didn't have to walk up the hill. The meal was superb and the taxi brought us back to our hotel when we were finished. Our room was perhaps a little dated but charming all the same and very pretty and this was all forgotten the folowing morning when we woke up to breakfast in bed and the gorgeous view of the estuary as the sun slowly rose in the sky. I long to return to The Hotel Portmeirion again to fully explore the village and enjoy the tranquility and service we experienced there.

Visited April 2015: "Restaurant at the Best Western Cross Lanes Hotel"…read more It was a picture perfect Victorian dining hall. There were curtains drawn in the middle of the room, breaking up the large open area. The tables were arranged for comfort and allowing private conversations not to be overheard. My friend and I had leek soup, deep fried brie, and shared the duck main. The duck main came with green string beams and creamed potatoes. Both hit the spot for such a cold April evening, and the duck was cooked beautifully. I finished off my meal with a citrus tart, that was creamy and just the right amount of tartness to it.

I went there for a christmas party and was not at all impressed with the food. It was mass produced and tasted like it had all been microwaved. This is not what you expect when you go somewhere with a reputation like this place has. However, my sister once came to a wedding her and she absolutely loved the food, so I guess it just depends on the day.

Imagine having a beer seating outside while listening to the river. It is close to an old church with a small old cemetery, for some this could be creepy, but to me it was a bonus.

There's a really cool horse drawn boat tour that you can take which is just a short walk from the hotel. The rooms are nice and there are huge windows that open up so you can enjoy the fresh air. The wifi service isn't great. We couldn't get the signal in our room at all during our stay. They do have several chairs and a nice couch in the lobby where you can enjoy the free wifi. They offer a delicious cooked breakfast with both hot and cold options, and coffee & tea. There is a really nice riverside patio where you can relax and enjoy a nice beverage. I heard that this hotel is haunted with ghosts but I didn't experience anything strange during my stay, thankfully!!
