Staying at the Chain Bridge is a little bit like stepping back in time to the 1970s. The general decor is very dated, there is a slightly damp and musty smell everywhere and the rooms are very old fashioned and a little bit tasteless. However, (and this is a big however!) the location is absolutely amazing, most of the rooms... more

Don't really know what people are complaining about, our stay was fantastic! This is a very old historic hotel which is being restored gradually. Our room was excellent, level of cleanliness extremel good and the restaurant top class. The location is fantastic, we went to relax and that's exactly what we did. Staff were lovely and river views second to... more

This is a great location, between the River Dee and the Llangollen canal. Across the the river, you can see the Llangollen steam railway trains passing over a viaduct. The view is only spoiled by the dreary, depressing Chainbridge hotel. This is a shabby, decaying place of the standard I thought we had moved on from many years ago. My... more
