Hotels in Hanmer

Hotels in Hanmer itself are limited given the village's small size, but the surrounding area more than makes up for it. Whitchurch, just over the border in Shropshire and only a few miles away, has a good range of coaching inns and small hotels, many with centuries of history behind their beams, offering comfortable rooms within easy reach of Hanmer Mere and St Chad's Church. Further afield, Wrexham and the wider Marches countryside add options ranging from country house hotels set in their own grounds to modern chain hotels for those who want reliable facilities. Bed and breakfasts are especially plentiful in this part of the borderland, often run from converted farmhouses with views over the same gentle, lake-dotted landscape that surrounds Hanmer itself. Booking ahead is sensible during the summer months, when visitors touring the Shropshire lake district and the Welsh Marches fill up the smaller, characterful places first. Whichever option is chosen, most stays put guests within a short drive of the mere, the church and the network of quiet lanes that make this corner of Wrexham County Borough worth exploring at an unhurried pace.
