A Virtual Tour of Tŷ Haul: Luxury Meets Heritage in North Wales near Llangollen

Step inside a renovated 1874 Welsh townhouse where Victorian heritage meets contemporary luxury, and discover why remote workers, families, and Wrexham AFC fans are choosing this as their North Wales base

You're standing outside a beautifully restored Victorian property in the heart of Wrexham, built in 1874 and reimagined for 2025. Tŷ Haul (Sun House) isn't your typical holiday rental, it's a thoughtfully designed space where heritage architecture, designer interiors, and modern amenities come together to create something genuinely special.

Let's walk through it together.

The Entrance: First Impressions Matter

Push open the front door and you're immediately met with light. The entrance hall sets the tone, original architectural details preserved, contemporary lighting installed, and a colour palette that feels both warm and sophisticated. You'll find a downstairs cloakroom here, complete with modern fixtures and designer touches, a practical addition that means you're not queuing for the bathroom during busy family mornings or when hosting friends.

The hallway flows naturally into the main living spaces, but before we move forward, notice the attention to detail. Fresh flowers on arrival, hotel-grade welcome touches, and that unmistakable feeling that someone has genuinely cared about every square foot of this property.

The Kitchen: Where Gathering Happens

Walk into the open-plan kitchen and you'll understand why guests keep mentioning it in their reviews. This isn't a token kitchenette with a kettle and a microwave, it's a fully equipped culinary space designed for people who actually cook.

A large central island dominates the space, with seating for five. High-end integrated appliances line the walls, think quality oven, induction hob, American-style fridge-freezer, dishwasher, and all the counter space you need to prep a proper meal. Matte cabinetry keeps things sleek, while thoughtful details like a stylish potted plant and abundant natural light prevent it from feeling sterile.

This is where your group will naturally congregate. Morning coffee while planning the day's itinerary. Afternoon wine while someone preps dinner. Late-night conversations around the island after a Wrexham AFC match. The kitchen becomes the social hub, exactly as it should be.

The Living Spaces: Two Lounges, Multiple Moods

Tŷ Haul gives you options. Two separate living areas mean your group doesn't need to compromise.

The main living room features a plush teal sofa, accent chairs (including a statement cowhide-pattern piece), and a custom chess set on the coffee table. An Art Frame TV displays rotating artwork when you're not streaming, because yes, the design matters even when the TV is "off." Floor-to-ceiling windows with shutters flood the space with natural light, while carefully chosen textures and layered lighting create atmosphere as evening falls.

The second lounge offers flexibility. Parents settling in with a book while children claim their own space for games. Remote workers taking video calls without disturbing the group. Wrexham fans watching pre-match analysis while others relax elsewhere. It's this thoughtful separation that transforms a good rental into an exceptional one.

The Bedrooms: Four Designer Retreats

Head upstairs and you'll find four generous bedrooms, each designed with the same meticulous attention to detail.

Bedroom One: The Super-King Suite

The master bedroom showcases what designer accommodation really means. A super-king bed (which converts to twins if needed) anchors the room, dressed in crisp white linens, a deep green quilt, and decorative mustard cushions. The plush velvet headboard adds texture, while botanical wall art brings Welsh nature indoors. Modern wardrobes provide ample storage, bedside tables with designer lamps offer functionality, and shuttered windows control light and privacy.

Fresh towels arrive rolled and ready, a hotel touch that guests genuinely appreciate.

Bedrooms Two and Three: Flexible Super-Kings

These rooms mirror the quality of the master while offering conversion flexibility. Super-king beds split into twins when needed, accommodating friends travelling together or families with older children. Each features the same layered lighting, soft textures, and elegant finishes, wall-mounted smart TVs, comfortable seating areas, and that signature blend of historic character with contemporary comfort.

Bedroom Four: The Cosy Double

The fourth bedroom offers a comfortable double bed, perfect for couples or solo travellers. Smaller in footprint but equally thoughtful in design, it proves that luxury isn't just about square footage, it's about considered details and quality finishes throughout.

The Bathrooms: Luxury Full Stop

The main bathroom upstairs deserves its own moment. Modern slate tiles, a large walk-in shower, contemporary corner bathtub, vessel sink on black marble vanity, matte black fixtures, and natural light through shuttered windows. A potted fern adds life, while the overall design creates a spa-like atmosphere that makes evening baths genuinely tempting.

Downstairs, the cloakroom ensures smooth mornings and eliminates bathroom bottlenecks, practical luxury at its finest.

The Work Spaces: Remote Work, Refined

Remote workers, take note. Tŷ Haul acknowledges that "holiday" and "work" aren't mutually exclusive anymore. You'll find dedicated desk spaces with ample drawer storage, comfortable seating, natural light, and strong WiFi throughout the property.

Take your morning calls with Welsh landscape art in the background. Wrap afternoon admin while your family explores Wrexham. Join evening Zoom meetings from a properly equipped workspace rather than hunched over a dining table. The property adapts to modern working patterns without sacrificing its holiday credentials.

Who This Space Is Really For

Tŷ Haul accommodates up to 10 guests across four bedrooms, but let's be specific about who thrives here:

Remote working groups: Dedicated workspaces, reliable WiFi, separate living areas for focus and relaxation, and a location 10 minutes from Wrexham city centre make extended work-and-explore stays genuinely feasible.

Multi-generational families: Two bathrooms, flexible bedroom configurations, two lounges, and a kitchen designed for proper cooking mean grandparents, parents, and children can holiday together without compromising comfort.

Wrexham AFC supporters: Visiting for the match. 10 minutes to the Racecourse Ground, accommodation for your whole crew, and a comfortable base to return to after celebrating (or commiserating) makes match weekends infinitely better than cramped hotel rooms.

Friends reuniting: Four bedrooms, social spaces, a location walking distance to Wrexham nightlife, and enough room to spread out mean your group gets proper quality time without feeling on top of each other.

The Location Advantage

You're in Cefn Mawr, which translates to practical advantages: 10 minutes by car to Wrexham city centre, 14 minutes on foot to the UNESCO World Heritage Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, walking distance to countryside trails, and easy access to Chirk Castle, Erddig Hall, and the broader North Wales region.

Free private parking eliminates the stress of urban accommodation hunting for spaces. You have a genuine base, not just a place to sleep.

Practical Tips for Your Stay

Booking directly: You'll find the best rates and most flexibility through the Tŷ Haul website rather than third-party platforms, no hidden fees, direct communication, and often better availability.

Grocery planning: The kitchen is fully equipped, but stock up before arrival. Wrexham supermarkets are 10 minutes away, but arriving to a fridge-freezer ready for your first evening saves time.

Bedroom allocation: Discuss sleeping arrangements before arrival. Three rooms convert between super-kings and twins, so confirm preferences early.

Work requirements: If mixing business with pleasure, test the WiFi immediately upon arrival and identify your preferred workspace, bedroom desk or kitchen island, both work well.

Match day logistics: If visiting for Wrexham AFC, book well in advance. Match weekends fill quickly, and having accommodation this close to the Racecourse Ground is genuinely rare.
