Beaumaris is a well known historic town on the Isle of Anglesey situated on the Menai Strait and overlooking the Snowdonia mountain range, making for the most stunning of sunrises. With its medieval castle (now a World Heritage site) dating back to the reign of Edward I and its Victorian pier, gaol and courthouse, it is also known as a major centre for yachting. Beaumaris is rich in history and retains much of its medieval street pattern. It’s setting, diversity of architectural styles and periods, differing scale, open spaces, varying roofs and overall quality contribute greatly to the town’s character. There is a good selection of shops, restaurants and public houses, as well as fishing opportunities and boat trips in the town, plus a golf course nearby. Along the coast is a large bay called Red Wharf Bay; its Welsh name is Traeth Coch (Red Beach) and the area is renowned for its glorious sunsets. The bay is very shallow and at low tide, almost 25 square kilometres (10 sq. mi.) of sand is uncovered providing safe bathing, perfect for wonderful family fun, fishing and miles of stunning scenic walks. Further afield is the port of Holyhead, which has regular ferry links to Dublin. Beaumaris is a good central base for touring Wales, in a beautiful location on the south coast of the picturesque Isle of Anglesey, within easy reach of the spectacular mountains of Snowdonia.

Carpets on the stairs, landings and bedrooms would have been welcomed as the stairs were extremely noisy. Carpet in the bedrooms would have added a cosy feel. The door handles upstairs, taps on the shower and bath appeared to opperate the opposite to what is normally expected, this caused concern when trying to turn the shower off the first time! To be honest the above is me being picky, as we really enjoyed our stay.

Lots of room for our dog and the enclosed garden to the rear was perfect for him. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend. Thank you for having us. We hope to stay again.

Obviously lots of thought had gone onto the style, furniture, fixtures, bedding, towels. Kitchen was very well equipped, bathroom was lovely and added extras (soap, shampoo etc) gave it a hotel stay feel. Great directions and info re key and bins.
