Cattle drivers from three Welsh valleys used to converge on Llanarmon to take their produce to markets as far afield as London. Today the traffic is the other way around - people flock to The Hand from all over the world for a spot of superb Welsh hospitality, good food and home spun comfort. The Ceiriog Valley is known as The Valley of the Poets as  many poets and artists have lived here, including John Ceiriog Hughes, known as The Welsh Shakespeare.

The Hand welcomes locals and leisure travellers alike to its warm hearth, filled with humour and buzz, its excellent home cooked food and its cosy, unfussy bedrooms. There is a terrace garden in summer and roaring log fires in winter. You can walk in the Berwyn mountains, visit Llanrhaeadr Waterfall or Chirck Castle.

The hotel can arrange pony trekking, fishing or shooting. The Ceiriog Valley is one of the loveliest and most peaceful in Wales. The loudest noise is likely to be the bleating of sheep or the quiet tumbling of the river through lush meadows.

Pets welcome £5.00 fee per night
