Hear From a Few of Our Past Guests
Anna, New York
We came all the way from New York because my family are huge fans of Welcome to Wrexham. Staying at Tŷ Haul gave us the perfect base to soak up the atmosphere, watch a match, and feel part of the story. The house was spacious, private, and beautifully designed, just what we needed after some long days.
John, London
I brought my senior team and their partners for a midweek retreat, and Tŷ Haul was the ideal setting. The calm, stylish interiors gave us space to brainstorm and reset, while the surrounding area offered plenty to do once the work was done. Everyone left feeling inspired, rested, and ready for the next big challenge.
Claudia, Lisbon
My friends and I travelled from Lisbon for the UB40 concert at Llangollen Pavilion, and Tŷ Haul made the whole trip unforgettable. The location was spot on, with easy access to the event, but it was the comfort, design, and homely feel of the house that made our stay so special. We’re already planning our return next year!
