About this property

The Old Post Office is a delightful end of terrace cottage in a slightly elevated position in a stunning beachfront location, in the pretty village of Bull Bay on the Isle of Anglesey. This lovely cottage enjoys fantastic uninterrupted sea views over the bay and rocky inlets and is perfect for couples, friends and families, where you'll feel immediately at home. The accommodation is set over three levels, with the spacious sitting room boasting a modest dining area with banquette seating around the table and a picture window framing those fantastic views. Enjoy a leisurely breakfast or late supper and you'll be able to enjoy the ever changing vista and perhaps spot the odd dolphin if you're lucky. The three bedrooms provide good family accommodation; wake up in the morning and no matter what the weather you'll be able to enjoy the wonderful views of the bay and sea from the double and twin rooms. Outside this lovely cottage is an enclosed front patio area enjoying a sunny aspect, an ideal place to relax with a glass of something after a busy day on the beach, exploring one of the many coves, or walking one of the many walks on the renowned Anglesey Coastal Path which is right next to the cottage. Follow the sun around to the rear paved terraced garden in the evening, or why not venture out to the hotel with bar, serving food in the village so you don't have to worry about planning any meals? This little cove, which is also known as Porth Llechog (sheltered bay) to the locals is overlooked by the town of Amlwch, plenty of facilities close at hand. Luckily for you , Bull Bay is entirely dog friendly , which means your dogs are allowed to run and play on the sands/pebbles at any time of year. There are also plenty of activities that you can take part in, don't forget to bring your snorkel, wet suit, to dive of the rocks or walk through the rock pools and the opportunities for fishing are plentiful in and around the bay. If you fancy launching your small boat, dingy, rib, or going kayaking, from Bull Bay , there is no launch charge. An 18-hole golf course is just a short walk away, and the cottage is well placed for visiting the attractions of Anglesey, including Beaumaris, NT Plas Newydd and the watersports centre of Rhosneigr. Head back to the mainland and spend a day in the mountains of Snowdonia, or hop onto a ferry at Holyhead for a day trip to Dublin. This cottage is sure to delight and is an ideal base all year round for a relaxing holiday in an amazing coastal location.

Situated on the Northern coast of the Isle of Anglesey is the pretty seaside village of Bull Bay. The scenery around Bull Bay is stunning as is the nearby island of East Mouse, which sits within the bay and has rockpools which are perfect for shrimping and crabbing. Bull Bay also offers two hotels with restaurants and bars and a superb golf course. Close to the village is the famous Anglesey Coastal Path and just 1.5 miles away is the small, harbour town of Amlwch which boasts shops, bars and a market every Friday. Nearby is the Parys Mountain, where the Copper Mine Trail Walk is worth a visit. Also within driving distance is the historic town of Beaumaris, which has a stunning 13th century castle, museums, shops, pubs and restaurants. Bull Bay is a perfect base to explore the many attractions, towns and villages Anglesey has to offer.

    We have had a lovely stay everything and more was provided, really relaxing and thank you from our 2 dogs this is a great location for walking

  • Michelle

    The views and location were amazing and it was so lovely to be so close to the beach. The little enclosed patio seating area at the front was a good place to sit and have a morning coffee and our dog was quite content to sit and watch the world go by there. The Welcome basket was a nice touch with essentials in to begin your holiday. The parking at the rear was a bonus as it does get busy at the side of the cottage during the day when people are using the beach. We would love to return, this has been one of our favourite locations.
