There is no better place to witness a breathtaking dawn than at Beaumaris, a famous mediaeval town on the Isle of Anglesey that sits on the Menai Strait and overlooks the Snowdonia mountain range. Historical landmarks include a Victorian pier, jail, and courthouse in addition to a mediaeval castle going back to the reign of Edward I; the area is also well-known as a major sailing centre. Historic Beaumaris still has several of its original mediaeval streets. The town's atmosphere, variety of architectural styles and periods, scale, open areas, roof types, and general quality all play significant roles. The town offers a variety of shopping, dining, and drinking establishments, as well as outdoor activities like fishing and boat tours and indoor activities like a golf course. Red Wharf Bay is a wide bay along the coast; in Welsh, it is known as Traeth Coch (Red Beach), and the area is famous for its breathtaking sunsets. Safe bathing, great family fun, fishing, and miles of gorgeous scenic walks are all possible due to the bay's low depth of only 10 square miles of water when the tide is out. And if you want to travel any further, you can reach Dublin via the port of Holyhead's frequent ferries. Beaumaris is well situated on the south coast of the scenic Isle of Anglesey, making it a great central base from which to explore the rest of Wales.

There are low beams in the bedrooms, if your tall you'd need to be careful, also the bathroom is downstairs just mindful of this during the night. And the WiFi is poor apart from in the kitchen, but over all a very spacious apartment.

The kitchen is beautiful, lovely bedrooms, clean with every amenity you could need. However, I have seen larger en suites than the bathroom at Above Deck. You have to shut the door to open the small shower cubicle and the small space was very impractical when trying to wash my 6 and 3 year olds. It is also situated on the opposite side of the apartment and on another level to the bedrooms, so in the middle of the night we had to go down the stairs and down the hallway to use the toilet. I had to carry my little girls all the way there in the night, which wasnât ideal. There was also a leak from the extractor fan in the kitchen after the rain one night. Everything was phenomenal, but the bathroom would stop us booking again Iâm afraid.

The pictures donât do it justice. Immaculately clean and everything you could possibly need, provided. Fabulous view over the high street and a stones throw from the beach. We took our grandchildren who loved the easy, safe access for their crabbing expeditions. Comfortable beds to end perfect daysâ¦.even if the winds threatened to blow us off the pier.! Thank you for the milk and cakeâ¦and also the amazing ice cream.
