더 핸드 호텔(The Hand Hotel)

Great breakfast. We booked this hotel as there was a restaurant and as it was a Monday night we were certain of getting a meal. Unfortunately the kitchen was closed and we were reduced to a Coop sandwich. They had our email so could have informed us in advance so we could have made alternative arrangements. Shame as otherwise very good

Very traditional hotel - not spoilt by big modern ‘improvements’. Staff efficient and friendly. Fantastic location for the view and local facilities which were exceptionally good.

Good historic hotel. Lots of quirky features. Evening meal and breakfast very tasty. Nice views of the river Dee.

The Hand is an interesting old building in a lovely setting in the town by the river.Breakfast was good, plentiful with a good selection of hot and cold options.The staff were helpful and courteous.The family room we booked for 1 night was clean and had all the basics but was definitely in need of updating. We would have appreciated a pack of biscuits to accompany the generous supply of drinks. The bathroom would benefit from modernising.A shower over the bath with a curtain feels a little basic these days. We found our room overlooking the courtyard at the back was noisy in the morning when cleaning began at about 5am so our sleep was quite disturbed.Maybe rooms at the front or church side would be better. All things considered the Hand is a bit overpriced but is ok for an overnight stay and choose a room at the quiet side.

Lovely hotel in an excellent location. Our room overlooked the River Dee so was a quiet room. There is a lovely beer garden overlooking the river which we were able to make use of. The staff were friendly and helpful. We also had 2 good evening meals at the hotel. The food was excellent but the service was slow on the Friday evening.

This is a 17th century hotel so obviously it’s very old but this adds to its charm. The staff were very polite and helpful and the food was good and plenty of it.

Room was comfortable although perhaps looking a little tired and unloved. Hotel was very convenient with excellent parking facilities. Breakfast was very good and staff were on the whole very helpful. The major feature for this hotel is the outdoor drinks/food area at the front over looking the river and a delightful garden. Well done Hand Hotel!

Stayed at The Hand when canoeing the Aquaduct. Hotel was comfortable and cheerful. The staff were great and the food good.

We had a 5 day trip to North Wales and stayed at 3 different places. The Hand Hotel was the most expensive, with us paying for a premier room with a river view. Our experience was very disappointing. Room was a nice size and the river view was great, but felt the pictures shown as part of the booking process were misleading 9staying in room 59). I did not expect the wash basin to be in the room, the bed was very uncomfortable, no water of biscuits and the room could have been cleaner. The WiFi did not cover the room (you had to go down corridor) and as Sunday night we ate in and I had the roast beef, but was very poor (think it had been plated earlier and warmed in microwave). We felt for what we had paid, by comparison to our previous stays it was well over priced.
