The Lemon Tree

A welcoming hotel and restaurant in central Wrexham

The Lemon Tree is a privately owned hotel and restaurant in the heart of Wrexham, the largest town in North Wales. With 18 en-suite bedrooms, a well-regarded restaurant and a warm, dog-friendly welcome, it makes a comfortable and handy base for exploring the town, the Dee Valley and the historic borderlands — with the city of Chester famously just a stone’s throw away.

The rooms

There are 18 en-suite bedrooms, offering a range of options to suit couples, families and business travellers alike. As an independent, privately owned establishment, it has a friendlier, more personal feel than the chains, and dogs are welcome too — handy if you are exploring this corner of Wales with the family pet. The central location means you can leave the car and reach the town’s shops, restaurants and attractions on foot.

Dining and the welcome

Food is a real part of the experience here: the hotel has a generous 70-seat restaurant, with breakfast and brunch and an afternoon-tea service among the offerings, and it also caters for events. On match days it is a popular spot for visitors heading to support Wrexham AFC, whose fortunes have put the town firmly on the map. It is a sociable, welcoming place with the genuine character of a local, independent business.

Being privately owned and centrally located, it offers a more personal alternative to the chain hotels, with the flexibility that suits leisure and business guests alike. Whether you are visiting for a match, exploring the borderlands, or stopping over on a journey through North Wales, it makes a comfortable and convenient base, with the town’s pubs, shops and restaurants all on the doorstep and the dog welcome to come along.

Wrexham and the borderlands

Wrexham is the largest town in North Wales, sitting close to the English border and making a handy base for the surrounding area. The National Trust’s Erddig hall and gardens are nearby, as is the wooded Clywedog Valley with its industrial-heritage trail, while the beautiful Dee Valley around Llangollen — with its steam railway, canal and the spectacular Pontcysyllte Aqueduct — and the historic city of Chester are all within easy reach. The town’s growing profile, thanks in part to Wrexham AFC, has brought a fresh buzz to its pubs, shops and restaurants.

Good to know

A central, independent hotel with its own restaurant is a practical, friendly choice for a Wrexham stay — whether you are in town for a match, for business, or as a base to explore North East Wales and the borders. Being able to eat in and walk to everything makes for an easy, low-fuss break, and the dog-friendly welcome adds flexibility for those travelling with a pet. Wrexham is especially busy around football fixtures and events, so it is sensible to book ahead for those dates. For a comfortable, well-placed and characterful base, The Lemon Tree fits the bill.
