Accommodation Options

As an old Grade II* listed building and site, rooms at Tŷ Newydd differ in terms of size, location and facilities. When booking on a residential course, you can select the type of preferred accommodation – which will hopefully make our courses affordable to more guests, whilst also ensuring extra space and comfort to those looking for something slightly more special. 

You can choose which type of room you want upon booking, and if there is more than one room available for that type of room, we will allocate the rooms at random. If you are visiting with a friend or partner and wish to share a room, please contact us for options. Also, if you don’t see the type of accommodation you prefer as an option when trying to book a course, contact us to discuss.
