We stayed here for my Wife's birthday, would definitely recommend this to friends and family, the staff were warm, friendly and very welcoming. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. Food was incredible, we will be coming back in the future!
Stopped for a lunch whilst touring around. The welcome was outstanding, the place was lovely and the food and drink was excellent (slightly over salty sauce on one pudding). Would definitely recommend. Hawksmoor cider and lager on tap too.
The forcast was for a rainy Tueday, the end of our hot spell. A decision was taken to go somewhere for an adventurous lunch. Not too far, on the bus (that’s the adventurous part ) from Llangollen. So The Hand it was and what a lovely lunch we had. Other than the soup,(hard to share) we had all the other starters plus a portion of chips between us. It was all delicious. We had a basket of focaccia, homemade I think. Crispy outside, beautifully soft inside. It had to be homemade! There’s an excellent selection of beers, lagers and wine. Others were having proper lunches, can’t comment on them except to say they were beautifully presented and of decent proportion. We had the best part of 3 hours at the Hand and enjoyed every minute. The staff were welcoming, even though technically not open, as we arrived early. Nothing was too much trouble for them and they made the day as much as the excellent food. An uneventful return trip on the bus, although how the driver managed to get through amazingly small gaps between cars and hedges unscathed was a bit of a mystery!
Wow, this place is such an amazing find. The staff are wonderful and Ted went above and beyond to ensure we had a great stay not only that he was such a nice person. We were lucky enough to have breakfast, lunch and dinner here and it did not disappoint. The chef is superb. What was also great about this place is the beautiful location and the hot tub and sauna over looking the views. Cannot wait to come back x
We enjoyed a wonderful overnight stay in the Hand at Llanarmon. The staff were friendly and professional, the food was exceptional. We will be back to spend longer at this gem of a place.
Fantastic place! Roads here are a pain but the actual place is amazing! Staff are friendly, locals at the bar great! The food!!! Omg the food is so good! We went for valentines weekend and stayed 2 nights. Bed is comfy, loads of storage space, bathroom is huge! Shower is a bit temperamental. Views are stunning. There is a hot tub but we didnt use it. Highly recommend!!
This is truly an exceptional place! We discovered it by chance in 2024 and have already visited three times since then. We are even planning to celebrate New Year's 2026 here! Huge thanks to the owners and staff for creating such a welcoming atmosphere—it genuinely feels like a home away from home. The food is absolutely delicious!
Thank you so much to the Hand for making my surprise birthday party special . The rooms were lovely the food was fantastic and the staff are excellent. We all enjoyed ourselves and it will be a lovely memory for ever . Will certainly stay again
