Hotels in Llangollen

Dee-valley hotels — Eisteddfod base, not a Wrexham city room.

Llangollen hotels sit toward the high street, canal and station — useful if you are mixing the Eisteddfod with a canal day. Confirm parking; festival week fills. Wrexham city rooms are a different product on the same taxi table.
