The Hand at Llanarmon is a classic British inn located in the Ceiriog Valley, North Wales . It has been awarded 4 stars by the AA and VisitWales, as well as an AA rosette for the quality of its food. The inn itself is located in Llanarmon D.C. , the 'jewel in the crown' of the Upper Ceiriog Valley The whole of North Wales is beautiful, but few areas compare to the Ceiriog Valley. Llanarmon D.C. is at the heart of the Upper Ceiriog: the most remote, most beautiful part of the valley, set against the backdrop of the Berwyn Mountains. This truly is stunning, real countryside. Whereas in many parts of Britain today, the drone of traffic is a permanent background, here you can get up on the tops of the hills and not hear a sound, apart from the birds and every turn of the track reveals another breath-taking view. Some wonderful National Trust properties - Erddig, Chirk and Powys Castles - are nearby and many of the popular attractions of North Wales such as Snowdonia, Portmeirion and Bodnant Gardens provide a pleasant day out within easy striking distance. Thanks to good road networks we are easily reached from major centres and although sufficiently off the beaten track, we are in fact only 34 miles from Chester, 28 from Shrewsbury, 82 miles from Birmingham, slightly less from Liverpool and Manchester, and 196 miles from London. Turn off the A5 at Chirk and follow the B4500, signposted to the Ceiriog Valley.The inn boasts a unique dining room and oak-beamed bar. The Hand is everything a classic British inn should be, genuinely warm, with a place for everyone, filled with humour and buzz, providing excellent home-cooked food with a minimum of fuss and formality - and of course, drinks for every taste.PLEASE NOTE Check in is from 14:00 to 23:00. Check out is by 11:00. The Hand is a no smoking establishment. Pets can be accommodated by prior arrangement.
